CamelCaseName

This seems like an old article, but probably still true today

What I don't get is, why wouldn't Elon just make a good version of Grokipedia. It seems way easier than continually telling his 200MM+ followers how great a deeply broken product is.

Try ordering a heated muffin. My current success rate at the drive through is 2/8. The other 6 times it's not heated.

Highway expansion is already here in many areas! Waymo has been laying the groundwork for this rapid rollout for so many years and it's amazing to see it all come together.

What does this have to do with the post?

You don't need a lot of space to see everything, because you can store information in your memory.

You narrow down your options by having knowledge like "I have points on these airlines so I want to fly on Star Alliance which has partners that fly out of (quick check) these airports, so let's plan the itinerary in this way..."

I just got back from traveling the last 3 months (40 flights, 6 continents) and planned all of it from my phone. From flights, to hotels, to visas.

And it's simply better than a laptop. 4 tabs in 4 browsers means you're distracted, you're not pruning useless information, you don't know what you don't know.

I do 95% of my work on my phone too, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Can someone explain to me what Sam Altman is doing to be so far ahead of everyone else in terms of navigating these high stakes roles?

This happened at YC and a number of other places too, he goes into situations with nothing and comes out on top despite all odds.

Is he that skilled an operator, negotiator, or manipulator or something?

What's more, it's been posted 40 times, the first being back in 2007!

I share my realtime Google Maps location with 30 people, friends, family, people from the internet.

They can see where I am, down to my address, at any given time.

Why not?

The very real upside is that they casually see me while looking at Google Maps and strike up a conversation or invite me somewhere, something that's happened many times.

The article talks about private and public life... but people will go to all the effort to post the very same things their location reveals on social media. Might as well make it real time.

If you're sharing location data with people who would use it to harass you, that seems like a selection issue, not a systemic issue.

Location data is hardly private. Everyone should share theirs with as many interesting people as possible. If only I had done so back in school.

Except they can't.

Europe is struggling with soaring energy costs and a lack of alternatives. Whether it's red tape or unfortunate geography, Europe cannot afford to turn off the Russian gas tap.

A benevolent US would see this and find ways to bridge the gap for Europe and lower its energy costs, further choking Russia.

A less benevolent US would see this and encourage it to continue, weakening both parties and sowing internal feuds within Europe.

OP didn't say universally, he said some subset (which may be the full set)

Not taking a stand either way, but you are mischaracterizing OP

Really? Which other places?

Am I missing something? Is this really worth being at the top of HN?

I actually find airlines very customer friendly.

Depending on your country / ticket, you have a 24 hour cooling off period, easy to call phone numbers, self serve web platforms and apps, very well documented processes and procedures.

Most of the worst airlines have some of these things, because if they didn't, they wouldn't be allowed to operate in certain regions (Canada/US, EU)

I... I like Teams...

Interest rates. Their returns are dependent on what they invest in, which is usually US treasuries (since the token is pegged to USD)

Yeah... They are both those things.

Thanks for that. I knew something felt off with how much beehiiv was being plugged.

Very lame to not be transparent about that.

100K, per developer?

Why'd it take so long?

That would make sense, I'm curious about this as well

Hundreds of billions on the line, really can't risk anything

This sounds like the kind of thing:

1. I desperately want (especially from Google)

2. Is impossible, because it will be super gamed, to the detriment of actually building flexible flows.

Did they just say they're deprecating all of OpenAI's non-GPT-5 models?

This is super frustrating when you travel a lot. You can change it back to your preferred currency, but it doesn't really stick.

The problem is resellers that buy a $200 license and then sell 1,000 $10 licenses.

Yeah, that is a really weird photo. Trying hard to replicate the iconic Steve Jobs photo I guess.

If you lamented the disappearance of the "old internet", well, this was a part of it, and now it may be gone too.

The title is also a fair bit understated.

They're leaking the moderators home addresses and work contact info (for admins, who are(were?) paid moderators)

Alright, back to regular life now. See you all tomorrow.

Why? I have started two small businesses in Canada with reasonable success (not enough to retire, but a nice payday each time), there was nothing particularly onerous either time.

I mean, it's been almost two decades.

At some point, things just don't work anymore, even if two decades is significantly less time than other DVDs.
