burrish··on The Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
>While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.

What do you mean, as OpenAI employee, you cannot tell that his work has entered the training data ?

But also correct me if I'm wrong, if the two mathematician were really close to finish this problem, and their conversation were used by OpenAI, shouldn't the Agent have succeeded way faster/efficiently instead of using "4.9 million messages and used about 300 billion output tokens."

burrish··on Show HN: Stop sending files to sketchy servers and convert any file offline
I'm just throwing ideas:

Wouldn't it be a good idea that you make a normal website to convert file format like any others, but the online service serve as an ad for your offline conversion app ?

Also I totally understand not making opensource but marketing your apps as privacy focused but it's closed source is hard to give you trust. I'm not an expert in analyzing apps, I guess people could use wireshark and see that nothing is coming out of your apps.

Sounds good, also I see that FileConverter needs "Microsoft Office installed and activated" and you seem to use LibreOffice, +1 really.

On another note it would be great if you could change how you display those 2077 conversions in your website, I find it really awkward to look at them by scrolling and if my mouse get out of the popup it disappear.

If you can do something "similar" to FileConverter where you can see all of them (at least a lot) on one screen, it helps with doing CTRL + F and searching your file format. :)

GL with the startup man

burrish··on Ask HN: What do you expect will be the real impact of AI on society in 10 years
I think kids will have a hard time learning and being smart with AI chewing everything for them.

I've read a few stories about parents questioning the over-use of AI from their child, adding to that I've seen my fair share of adult who cannot do anything without asking ChatGPT first.

burrish··on Hacker News for Gamedev
>Isn't game development already discussed here?

ofc sometimes game dev is discussed here, but imo I don't see it enough here that I wouldn't want a hackernews just for gamedev.

burrish··on Why DeepSeek had to be open source
Yep it's just an ad disguised as an article.

Lot of them on the internet trying to help user with basics windows things, then they suggest their app as a better alternative.

Also very annoying that the "Enter your username to get started" is misleading" if I enter my username, I cannot get started unless I create an account.. I would change it into "Create an account for free and get started" or something, idk

burrish··on WTF Is Wrong with Webflow?
Yeah idk why he is throwing a tantrum on twitter, he spent way more than what his plan offered and he got shocked when Webflow wasn't okay with it...
burrish··on WTF Is Wrong with Webflow?
totally unrelated comment, he spent 3x-5x times is allocated bandwidth of 400GB, it is his fault and should have been more cautious about it
burrish··on I'm the hacker that brought down North Korea's Internet for over a week. AMA
Yep and I mean... don't we all remember the assassination of Kim Jong-nam outside of North Korea in a Malaysia airport ?

who know if NK will do it again, but showing his identity so that NK know who they should target is really stupid
