cbg0··on Codex starts encrypting sub-agent prompts
Is the prompt generated by the LLM to send to a sub-agent really your data?
cbg0··on European "age verification" "app" forcing everyone to use Android or iOS
Isn't AOSP a thing?
cbg0··on GPT-5.6
In the past they received a lot of hate for not comparing to the competition.
cbg0··on GPT-5.6
5.6 Terra (mid tier model) as good as Fable on DeepSWE while cheaper than Opus API pricing. Seems like a homerun.
cbg0··on Hy3
Hy3 DeepSWE - 28%

GPT5.4 xhigh DeepSWE - 52%

A lot of contaminated benchmarks in the blog post about Hy3, needs real testing though I have a distinct feeling it's benchmaxxed like a lot of Chinese models.

cbg0··on Mistral's Robostral Navigate: a state of the art robotics navigation model
You should be relieved that they're sending robots instead of you to get blown up by a drone.

Assuming these concerns were real you could just turn the app into a website.

It looks like some of these systems do work, why shouldn't we try these systems too?

> How would these laws prevent me from just side loading my own open source client?

They do not.

cbg0··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
This will not get triggered by blind spot checks and most new cars have these inside the mirrors, so you won't even need to look over your shoulder.
cbg0··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
Personal freedom to fall asleep at the wheel or look at your phone while driving?
cbg0··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
It works, but there are mechanisms to also track your head position if it can't see your eyes.
cbg0··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
The GDPR protects people from companies keeping their data and using it recklessly.
cbg0··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
Perfect is the enemy of good. If it prevents some people from falling a sleep and causing an accident that's excellent.
cbg0··on Every new car sold in the European Union must include a driver monitoring camera
Preventing car crashes and people dying in said crashes isn't an unhealthy obsession with safety.
cbg0··on GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday
Better in what way? Does it follow the goals better, does the code produce have higher quality in a testable/maintainable sense or is it just closer to how you would usually program something?
cbg0··on GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday
I've seen this with GPT, and I usually ask it to put together a more easy to understand document for a specific target audience or reading level and it seems to do okay.
cbg0··on GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday
> This is because GPT-5.6 is just a more posttrained version of GPT-5.5, not a bigger model than GPT-5.5.

What is this very confident assumption based on?

cbg0··on GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse
I'm neither an old man, nor am I grumpy at the new tools. I use AI daily, I'm just not deluded into thinking AI is more capable than it is, or myself for that matter.
cbg0··on GLM 5.2 and the coming AI margin collapse
> We're accelerating at lightning speed now.

Accelerating how much slop you can output? A better model will still produce slop for your feature factory that pumps out software which nobody is interested in buying.

cbg0··on GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra will be in Codex
It's a post on twitter, not a press release.
cbg0··on EU Council forces Chat Control via fast-track
Talk about overreacting.
cbg0··on GPT-5.5 Codex reasoning-token clustering may be leading to degraded performance
This is an intermittent issue, you should still be able to get your work done. 5.5 was released two months ago so perhaps you're using 5.5 wrong and some things that worked in 5.4 require tweaking your prompts?
cbg0··on GPT-5.5 Codex reasoning-token clustering may be leading to degraded performance
Doesn't look like it: https://marginlab.ai/trackers/codex/
cbg0··on GPT-5.5 Codex reasoning-token clustering may be leading to degraded performance
You want a refund because of a problem you weren't even aware of until now? And you don't even really know if your work has been impacted by this problem.
cbg0··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
I'm not sure I follow; they were given 90 days to comply with certain requirements from the EU, which they did, and the fine was something extra that took a while to resolve in the courts.
cbg0··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
This approach is more US-centric than "HN people". I've heard this often with phrases like "better to ask for forgiveness than for permission" which is probably because you can get away with a lot more on the business side in the US without having personal accountability.
cbg0··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
> No, they're OK with Google apparently not changing much of anything and being allowed to continue operating so long as they pay the fine first.

This is false. They were asked to:

- Stop tying Google Search and Chrome to the Play Store.

- Permit competing Android versions.

- Stop exclusivity incentives for Google Search.

- Provide genuine room for rival search engines and browsers.

This is separate from the fine and they were given 90 days in 2018 to comply with the above.

The point of fines is to correct behavior, not to cause financial ruin.
cbg0··on Google loses fight over record $4.7B EU antitrust fine
Do you really believe the EU needs to "disguise" taxes? And that a $23 trillion economy wants to wait 8 years to collect $4.7 billion?
