LewisVerstappen··on OpenAI expands ChatGPT ads with Sponsored Agents
If you don’t want it then just pay for ChatGPT.

If you’re angry about it and ALSO don’t want to pay then I’m sure OpenAI doesn’t mind losing you as a customer.

LewisVerstappen··on Real-SWE: Benchmarking AI models on private, real-world, enterprise codebases
What do you use as the harness?
LewisVerstappen··on Resist "AI"
Because it’s not a “fact”, it’s an argument that you are making.
LewisVerstappen··on Tesla Balance Bike
If your reaction to this is that it’s odd/creepy, that says more about you than it does the bike.
LewisVerstappen··on Job application asked for my SAT scores
The filter works both ways so it makes sense. Those employers do not want to hire people like you either.

what's wrong with that? Just ignore the post if you don't want to see it.

Build and sharing is awesome

LewisVerstappen··on Big tech's anti-labor playbook has come for Wikipedia
Deep Research links to first hand sources and does a better job of summarizing them than Wikipedia.

You realize wikipedia is built on sources right?

LewisVerstappen··on Minnesota becomes first state to ban prediction markets
Insider trading does offer actual insight
LewisVerstappen··on YC's Biggest Scandals
Putting things that are clearly not scandals damages the credibility of this site and masks the actual scandals.
LewisVerstappen··on Fuck the cloud (2009)
Yes, but you don't represent 99% of people. Which is why your blog post was hilariously wrong.
LewisVerstappen··on Hear your agent suffer through your code
Skimmed your comment history and you honestly just look like a huge asshole.

Sucks that people like you are on hacker news to be honest.

LewisVerstappen··on Louisiana Advances One of the Country's 'Cruelest' Anti-Homeless Bills

LewisVerstappen··on China's BYD set to overtake Tesla as top EV seller
Have you not seen Tesla's stock price? Autopilot? Robotaxis?

(I say this as a Tesla owner who literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot. I also live in downtown austin and see Robotaxis everywhere)

Lol I've pretty much checked out of HN since the discussion here is reddit r/technology level of competence.

The idea that TSLA is failing is so completely moronic that it's astonishing.

The stock is at an all time high?

LewisVerstappen··on No shares in company, but 550 employees received a $240M gift from their owner
No, but it would be great if large sums of money came with financial literacy courses to save a lot of pain and suffering later down the road.

The number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and make $500k a year is insane.

LewisVerstappen··on No shares in company, but 550 employees received a $240M gift from their owner
Will be interesting to see how many of them have money left after 5 years
LewisVerstappen··on Hello Europe, Joe Biden is gone
You have zero understanding of American history or law
LewisVerstappen··on Hello Europe, Joe Biden is gone
The president doesn't control US courts.

Hard to take this article seriously when it gets basic facts like that wrong.

LewisVerstappen··on We're Joining OpenAI
> At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired.

Then do it.

Since when did HN become like Reddit? Always negative about everything?

Feels like all the losers from Reddit have somehow migrated here.

LewisVerstappen··on GPT 5 coming tomorrow confirmed
I get that it's a UI issue that OpenAI needs to solve. But it's really interesting how we have this crazy powerful tool like LLMs and the people on "hacker news" can't be bothered to spend enough time with them to develop good workflows.

Really shows how much the quality of the HN community has changed.

LewisVerstappen··on The unreasonable effectiveness of an LLM agent loop with tool use
skill issue.

The fact that you're using 4o and 4.1 rather than claude is already a huge mistake in itself.

> Because as it stands, the experience feels completely broken

Broken for you. Not for everyone else.

LewisVerstappen··on Testing the latest AI tools for prototyping and building simple websites
You have zero idea what you’re talking about.

Every one of these companies is using agents. they’re not relying on a single LLM call with some kind of prompt.

Everything you “suspect” is completely wrong
LewisVerstappen··on [dead]
Great progress, but someone should still sue these companies for the years of discrimination disguised as “equity”

LewisVerstappen··on Scientist treated her own cancer with viruses she grew in the lab
Again that's not how it works. It's a two-sided marketplace.

> the drivers make the rational decision you’ve outlined above

Okay... then the rates for drivers will automatically go up again since there's there'll be a mismatch between drivers & riders.
