I've gotta come to OPs defense here. In the age of Suno indistinguishable-from-human-quality hits, this whole endeavor was an art piece and more interesting than most human OR AI music I've heard in the past year.

The medium was using the "wrong" tool for the job, which creative musicians do on a regular basis. And the output was so cool, it really felt like a relic from a different era even though it's hyper-modern.

I'm going to blow your mind: people are different! I have lived in several cities in the PNW and New England and now live in Houston metro by choice. It is far easier, more efficient, and more economical for my family which are our priorities. (Also infinitely more diverse, which is a big plus, but doesn't really have anything to do with urban planning). We like it a lot here.

IMO that is different than rank-and-file. My theory is that once you make a certain amount of money you run a high risk of becoming divorced from reality.

> Yes, a tired doctor sucks. But a tired doctor who already has the patient's state loaded into their head may still be better than doctor who is completely fresh in both senses.

AI fixes this. Imagine the boot time of loading a patient's state from dozens of labs and files vs. a summary that gets you to exactly what they're going to end up remembering anyways. And if a doctor finds something interesting that the AI doesn't flag, they should be flagging it in the chart for the next doctor anyways.

How does this compare to moon?

What does it mean about me if I looked at the image and the article headline and thought "scientific replication crisis"?

I'd honestly be shocked if this was repeatable. A brief search didn't turn up any attempts.

I've got concepts of an idea

"Pre-idea stage" support is wild to me

> And what about all the other stuff that LLM's spit out? Who owns that. Well at present, no one. If you train a monkey or an elephant to paint, you cant copyright that work because they aren't human, and neither is an LLM.

This seems too cute by half, courts are generally far more common sense than that in applying the law.

This is like saying using `rails generate model:example` results in a bunch of code that isn't yours, because the tool generated it according to your specifications.

I was so confused by the "no airborne transmission" theory because it seems naive - like you'd need a lot of evidence to convince me that it wasn't the case given the fundamentals of viruses.

This is uninformed - my Navimow is close to silent. It makes a slight clicking/snipping sound as it cuts through grass.

The mechanical components are entirely different, instead of a helicopter-like blade it is a ~silent solid disc with some razor blades on the edges.

> Note that Claude 4 Sonnet isn’t the strongest model from Anthropic’s Claude series. Claude Opus is their most capable model for coding, but it seemed inappropriate to compare it with GPT-5 because it costs 10 times as much.

Well - I would have been interested in GPT-5 vs. Opus. Claude Code Max is affordable with Opus.

My problem with Codex is it can't really run Docker. Can Jules or any other competitor?

Until they invent the exercise pill, the gym is absolutely still a good idea

I could replace my roof, literally the most expensive regular maintenance, for $10k a pop twice a year and still come out way under your estimate lol

> but 5-10% of the value of the house a year in maintenance isn’t unheard of.

I assure you I am not paying ~$30k in maintenance on my ~$400k house every year... that would be comical

I think all the testimonials are fake, if this wasn't clear to everyone. I thought they might be real at first but none of them exist. I actually thought that was kind of shitty to do, since they use real companies and media outlets.

(I don't really follow fonts but I do know there is a subculture crazy about them, so I thought it could be theoretically possible that people would write reviews of them).

they can, but in my experience rule changes are approximately zero. All of the HOAs I've lived in have been very reasonable. When I was on the receiving end of notices - they were well-deserved as much as they were embarrassing.

Yes indeed! One of the reasons I'm personally happy to live in an HOA after having lived in an area where lawn junkyards were common.

I mean, this was absolutely a risk to them. They could have easily lost during the transition.

It's interesting as a thought experiment. You can easily make any house $1 with the "right" tax code. So I'm definitely curious about the situation here.

This pledge would last five seconds in an actual conflict, if it makes it even that far.

Remember when TB-2s and grenade bombers were the peak of drone technology in Ukraine? That was like 2 years ago, now the frontlines are draped in equal parts anti-drone netting and fiberoptic threads.

I looked for primary sources on two randomly selected ones there, the VTech Baby Monitor Battery Defect Settlement and the Motorola Baby and I didn't find anything. Only the linked site. I feel like GPT just invented those lawsuits.

Just checked Infant Optics Monitor Class Action and also didn't find anything.

> A system that does tens to hundreds of thousands of jobs/s

I mean - yes - but how many systems really do tens of thousands of jobs a second? Some, obviously. But that's a buttload of jobs for the vast majority of verticals.

Like imagine a hypothetical dental SaaS that has 100.0% market penetration in the US and needs to handle the 500M dentist visits per year that happen in the US. That's 16/s, let's say they all run during working hours (x3), there are 10 async jobs on average per dentist visit (x10), that gets us up to 500 jobs/s.

You could even add 100% market penetration for this unicorn SaaS on all veterinary visits (+200M visits/yr), surgeries (+50M), emergency department visits (+130M), chiropractic visits (+35M), and hair salon visits (1B/yr)... and only get to 2000 jobs/s.

An enormous amount, unfortunately for everyone? As it should, in a healthy society.

I think you misread my politics because I think attacking RFK over this point is stupid, counterproductive, and condescending. He is going to cause harm a million ways but this is not it. He is obviously not talking about the English professor who has had a very successful life. The author is trying to do a "well actually" here and missing the entire point, as well as being literally wrong when you read the words. So even a generous, pedantic angle is stupid.

For the record, I align completely with this liberal commentary in the NYT this week, that is 10x more eloquent than I am: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/opinion/autism-rfk-parent...

> As an autistic English professor who studies literature and neurodiversity, I was especially unnerved by Kennedy’s contention that many autistic people will never write poetry.

> It couldn’t be further from the truth.

Screw this English professor with autism - RFK's comments are literally correct if you read them. Many autistic people like my child will never speak, he's not talking about English professors with level 1 autism. Stop ignoring those of us with much greater challenges, it's so condescending.

He's specifically talking about nonverbal kids like mine. I'm sorry, it's a disability, and I'm terrified what's going to happen to my kid when I'm gone. I don't think RFK Jr's policies will help and I didn't vote for them. But the amount of frustration I have towards comments like yours that ignore our worlds is immense. At least RFK Jr speaks honestly and candidly.

The challenges a level 1 autistic person faces are well recognized and good for network TV. finally - finally! - someone is talking about the rest of the population that face far greater challenges.

gift link to a related NYT Opinion piece by an actual (very liberal) parent living this reality that may surprise some people

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/opinion/autism-rfk-parent...

As a very liberal parent of a profoundly autistic child, there has never been article I've related to more. The condescension of fellow liberals and advocates for level 1 autism for us, much of which is present in this thread already, is incredibly frustrating and in many ways harder to stomach than RFK Jr.

RFK Jr is at a minimum a misguided nutjob - but he's also the only one to ever recognize our plight on a national stage.

I don't know much about RFK Jr, I hope he is just stupid. But if you dig into the origins of the vaccine situation, much of it was driven simply by a desire to make money using vaccine manufacturers, and the "proof" was retrofitted to the goal with junk science that was essentially abusing disabled children. (Horribly invasive medical procedures with no medical necessity).
