I don't think this comment is inline with community guidelines. "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes."

They do talk about working on this, and making improvements. From https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5/

> More honest responses

> Alongside improved factuality, GPT‑5 (with thinking) more honestly communicates its actions and capabilities to the user—especially for tasks which are impossible, underspecified, or missing key tools. In order to achieve a high reward during training, reasoning models may learn to lie about successfully completing a task or be overly confident about an uncertain answer. For example, to test this, we removed all the images from the prompts of the multimodal benchmark CharXiv, and found that OpenAI o3 still gave confident answers about non-existent images 86.7% of the time, compared to just 9% for GPT‑5.

> When reasoning, GPT‑5 more accurately recognizes when tasks can’t be completed and communicates its limits clearly. We evaluated deception rates on settings involving impossible coding tasks and missing multimodal assets, and found that GPT‑5 (with thinking) is less deceptive than o3 across the board. On a large set of conversations representative of real production ChatGPT traffic, we’ve reduced rates of deception from 4.8% for o3 to 2.1% of GPT‑5 reasoning responses. While this represents a meaningful improvement for users, more work remains to be done, and we’re continuing research into improving the factuality and honesty of our models. Further details can be found in the system card.

Freedom of expression comes to mind. If someone had a friend commit suicide, should they not be able to discuss their experience in public?

Yep, been living off it for nine years now

Not sure what you're referring to exactly. But broadly yes it is working for me - the number of new features I get out to users has sped up greatly, and stability of my product has also gone up.

Yep, I’m with you. I’m a solo dev who never went to college… o1 makes far fewer errors than I do! No chance I’d make it past round one of any sort of coding tournament. But I managed to bootstrap a whole saas company doing all the coding myself, which involved setting up a lot of guard rails to catch my own mistakes before they reached production. And now I can consult with a programming intelligence the likes of which I could never afford to hire if it was a person. It’s amazing.

It's so strange to me that in a forum full of programmers, people don't seem to understand that you set up systems to detect errors before they cause problems. That's why I find ChatGPT so useful for helping me with programming - I can tell if it makes a mistake because... the code doesn't do what I want it to do. I already have testing and linting set up to catch my own mistakes, and those things also catch AI's mistakes.

Seems like I'm one of very few excited by this announcement. I will totally pay for this - the o1-preview limits really hamper me.

Before this update you could hold control and click the application, then select "open" from the menu. It would give you a warning and let you confirm you'd like to run it anyway.

Yeah, there are clearly other problems with the Canadian market. Didn’t mean to imply there weren’t!

Housing stock I really do think is down to regulation - it’s crazy hard to build here in Vancouver, even right near mass transit stations.

Should we have increased the ability to compete in housing and groceries before the influx of immigrants? Maybe. But I don’t think having them here makes these issues harder to address, and it might increase the pressure to actually take action. Every party is talking about cost of living now.

Yeah, I should have mentioned productivity growth - it is of course another solution to the problem. I think it’s harder for governments to implement policy that increases productivity growth than immigration, though.

Since you asked for someone to steelman, I’ll chime in to say this graph looks great to me.

As Canada has grown rich, our fertility rate has gone down. I have no moral problem with that, but it does cause a problem: as the population ages, the ratio of workers (who pay tax) to retired people (who carry a tax burden) shrinks. The options are increasing the taxes on workers, cutting the benefits to the retired, or increasing the working age population via immigration.

As to grocery stores, housing prices, etc. I think these problems are more related to a lack of competition. A free market can handle an influx of consumers.

Very impressed by the demo where it starts speaking French in error, then laughs with the user about the mistake. Such a natural recovery.

I believe this will legally mandate that Google and Apple remove the app from their app stores. It will still be available online.

Nope. Underpromise, overdeliver. Build something so useful that you don't need to inflate it to get it noticed.

Why say "any social media" when it's only Youtube and TikTok?

"Turn that frown upside down" is a way of saying - don't be sad, be happy. Instead of having the corners of your mouth point down (frown), have them point up (smile). The joke is that if you move the eyes to the other side of the mouth, it remains a frown.

Expectation

:( becomes :)

Subversion

:( becomes ):

I think the phrasing is confusing because on first parsing, it reads like the market is responding to the article

That doesn't seem to be the case in this story

A car might drop in value by 30% in 3 years, not 30x.

> given that sex is immutable and is really only a choice between male and female

Putting all the gender stuff aside, biological sex may be immutable but it isn’t binary unless you’re willing to exclude the edge cases.

This seems like a silly way to think about FaceID. You’d need 1000+ people to all try their faces on each other’s 1000+ phones to get the 50% chance of unlocking. That’s not the scenario biometric authentication is built for, which is why the phone would require a password after 5 failed attempts.

One thing to note: It's at least five times, not exactly. Just click that side button until your phone vibrates a bit and it's locked. I mainly see myself using this feature in high stress situations, like going through airport security or being pulled over, so not needing to count is a small plus.

I'm just gonna go ahead and mention [messenger.com](https://www.messenger.com/) for anyone who agrees with you and doesn't know about it. It's essentially the messenger app in the browser, so you can access your Facebook messages without even coming across the news feed, any ads, etc.

Filled out the form. Sending out free physical books seems like a lot though - what's the motivation behind that?

I thought the poster just wanted people to avoid generalizing. "All women get catcalled" isn't okay, but "I often get catcalled" is fine.

This is absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be using it extensively.

I'm also incredibly curious about how it's implemented though. As far as I know, reddit doesn't have an API point for all new comments, do they?

Most websites are made through Wordpress, Squarespace, Wix, and similar products. I bet the number here is far lower than 1/600.

It seems like Amazon is in a position where they could turn a huge profit, they're just choosing to reinvest instead. If they just raised prices by something tiny like 1%, wouldn't their profits become instantly massive?

I think the idea would be that this helps fill dead times. If the place is full, they don't need/want more people showing up just to be turned away. If the place is empty, then they want to advertise that to fill it back up.

Also though, I think it was a 950% increase in traffic to the web pages powered by this product, not to the actual locations.
