My point is Google engineers go to the trouble of setting up a URL shortener service on one hand, but on the other hand it seems ad the business anti-privacy executives can override anything. This points out it's a dysfunctional company.
The point is whatever group controls the money controls the power. Also, only the domain is shorter

Okay the process is simple. You're going to go to another website, called YouTube. Don't be alarmed. First read all the steps so you don't miss any, once you start going to the other site you won't be able to see this one. You might want to write these down on a piece of paper first. Okay here we go: 1. Click in the bar at the top of the page that says ycombinator.com 2. type this in: youtube.com 3. press enter 4. Th…

#444Im not butt hurt Im just wondering if the overton window has shifted yet.

#445The big change here is: > Standard pricing now applies across the full 1M window for both models, with no long-context premium. Media limits expand to 600 images or PDF pages. For Claude Code users this is huge - assuming coherence remains strong past 200k tok.
If it's not coding, even with 200k context it starts to write gibberish, even with the correct information in the context. I tried to ask questions about path of exile 2. And even with web research on it gave completely wrong information... Not only outdated. Wrong I think context decay is a bigger problem then we feel like.
In my experience the model will assume the web results are the answer even if the search engine returns irrelevant garbage.
For example you ask it a question about New Jersey law and the web results are about New York or about "many states" it'll assume the New York info or "many states" info is about New Jersey.

An economy, and likely a society, fails if everyone is at the mercy of a UBI.
But what's the alternative? Can any economy succeed with a >50% unemployment rate?
You likely wouldn't need money at all in that future, for example. What does the money really mean when everyone I'd guaranteed to have all the basics covered? Is money really helping to store value created via labor when there is no labor? And is money providing price discover when the cost of resources and manufacturing are moving towards zero?
If labor is replaced with tech, and I think that's a big if, I don't see any outcome other than a totalitarian distopia that will fail much like the Soviet Union.

We don't really know yet, that's just speculation.
Sure I'm talking the future so its speculative, but I'd love to hear a scenario where it works well sustainably and doesn't turn into a totalitarian distopia.

#449Interesting, I’ve never needed 1M, or even 250k+ context. I’m usually under 100k per request. About 80% of my code is AI-generated, with a controlled workflow using dev-chat.md and spec.md. I use Flash for code maps and auto-context, and GPT-4.5 or Opus for coding, all via API with a custom tool. Gemini Pro and Flash have had 1M context for a long time, but even though I use Flash 3 a lot, and it’s awesome, I’ve neve…
whenever I see post like this i said well yeah, but its too sophiscated to be practical

#450All while their usage limits are so excessively shitty that I paid them 50$ just two days back cause I ran out of usage and they still blocked from using it during a critical work week (and did not refund my 50$ despite my emails and requests and route me to s*ty AI bot.). Anyway, I am using Copilot and OpenCode a lot more these days which is much better.
