addandsubtract··on Demystifying Tufte's data-ink ratio
That's Tufte's first guideline, anyway. Present data in a table unless it's better visualized as a graph.
addandsubtract··on Extra Big Ass Intelligence
Powered by S3 and SS

addandsubtract··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
Seems completely rational to me? Why would I do business with a company that doesn't share my moral values? I find the influence money has in politics more undemocratic than anything else.
addandsubtract··on The Mafia may be keeping fentanyl out of Italy
Fentanyl is also given to people in hospitals (in the US), getting people hooked.
addandsubtract··on OpenAI's Sam Altman to Brief UN Security Council Next Week
As long as a post isn't sbout politics– oh wait.
addandsubtract··on GPT-6 Astra Solves a WWI German Radio Cipher
Oh no, Astra is necessary to defend us from the evil "open AI" models out there. Only ban those.

GTA6 is still 8 weeks away.
addandsubtract··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Have you tried selecting the retry option below a reply? I think it let's you get a longer answer at least.
addandsubtract··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
That would A) still be clickbait, and B) be posted on a corporate blog, not just X.
addandsubtract··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Elon is tapping the empty seat next to him.
addandsubtract··on HuggingFace: Security.txt
Imagine AI models actually reading the security.txt

addandsubtract··on Muse, the band, lost its social media handles to Muse, Meta's new AI agent
Meta, the company controlling Instagram? The same company with the proven good faith track record?
addandsubtract··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
Xcancel is back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49588988
addandsubtract··on OpenAI fought dirty on career-making math problem
I was told their models were SAFE and they focus on SAFETY. Why would they backstab us like this? If not even OpenAI can be safe, who then?! I think it's time we ban open models so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
addandsubtract··on Muse: Meta's personal AI agent, features and capabilities
Which airline lets you change flights?! Is this an NA thing?
addandsubtract··on Muse: Meta's personal AI agent, features and capabilities
WhatsApp / Meta is also on both sides of the E2EE.
addandsubtract··on ChatGPT Images 2.5
If you zoom in, the index finger is just obscured by the middle finger. You can also see the knuckle, so it's not incorrect, just an awkward way to hold a cup.
addandsubtract··on Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader puts Silicon Valley to shame
I would be interested in a bilingual ebook reader. Do you have a repo for the project?
addandsubtract··on "We Have to Assume That the Internet Will Go Offline in the Next Few Years"
And now it's in Nvidia's interest to sweep it under the rug.
addandsubtract··on I Changed My License
Isn't that what Epic, MiniMax, Z.ai, and others are doing, where a license is free for personal use / low revenue projects, but cost a (steep) fee for commercial use? They don't use dual licenses, but rather a tiered license.
addandsubtract··on The "$60 Gaming PC" – AMD BC-250 (2025)
There's a similar board called the AMD 4800S (or 4700S). These are also repurposed PS5 SoC that didn't pass the graphics quality control. So what you get is a motherboard with CPU and 16GB RAM soldered on. No HDMI out, but it has a 16x PCIe slot (PCIe 4x 4.0) to connect a graphics card. The 4700S model is limited to 4x PCIe 2.0.
addandsubtract··on Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
You mean how all the authors and blog posters were paid?
addandsubtract··on GPT-6 Astra
I don't have those system prompts, but gemini pushes back on its own quite a bit. It'll tell me when I wrong, or when there are better options to consider. They won't be exhaustive, but good enough for 95% of my queries, so it's also my go-to web chat.
addandsubtract··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
As someone with a Pro subscription, I had access to 3.7 the day it came out. Expecting to have access to 3.8 now, too. It's only the free accounts that are behind.
addandsubtract··on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI
I've only seen proof-of-concepts, like Vaudeville[1]. I think more work is currently done in the modding scene, for example with Mantella[2] which, "brings every NPC in Skyrim and Fallout 4 to life with AI."
