idk, maybe the youtube algorithm just gets people to click on the video, what do they care why a video is clicked on as long as it generates revenue. so when they talk about videos being useful, take that to the bank.

use something else

Will IPV6 become a type in sql databases?

If before LLMs it took 20 years to build something, with LLMs it might still take 2-5 years, and they've been around of only 5 years. So, you're asking this too early.

Certainly HR wants you to think so, otherwise even they are not safe. So, you'll see jobs and interviews for vacancies that don't exist so those still left in HR can seem busy, because they are next in masses.

am i the only one who sticks to defaults, mostly?

When I'm in the mood to code I'd pay for API request to guarantee I get a response right away. No subscription usage limit is holding me back from making progress. Agents don't work. You have to compose your own context, which means you need to send the raw request. Not have assistant figure out. They are using multiple requests but every request is the end of each conversation. People have no idea how to use these things. That's why there's such gamut of disagreement about how useful this is, because less than 1% of people can benefit from using LLMs, and it's only programmers. So they'll keep increasing prices until only few people willing to pay for it. This is more useful than solidworks, and solidworks is $4000. So this will eventually reach and exceed $10000/year. Only programmers will be able to afford it. Everyone who is now using it for search and entertainment will be out of luck.

I can prove it will happen earlier but no one will believe me.

Agents and assistants is like buying insurance. You need to pay per token.

Live long enough and eventually it will suck.

Why drain resources training more controllers when we're having energy collapse? Even if they start pumping oil, it will only delay the inevitable. What would we do with all the extra controllers if we have to fire them in ten years anyway?

Microsoft is on track to be judged for digital genocide.

am i the only one whose API usage is cheaper than monthly subscription?

I too get stressed out when I'm in over my head.

Trump says something the other side will say is false in one hour. So make all the money before the other side responds and markets correct? What happens when Trump makes the wrong move? Will his family be in debt for eternity?

ChatGPT wasn't even how this technology was meant to be used. They simply didn't know how to package it. You can tell from all these models have structured response output. It was probably made for structured response but became useful in other ways. Using ChatGPT is equivalent of driving a golf cart on the highway. Most people are not smart enough to use it. ChatGPT doesn't even tell you how far up into the context it will still consider the text, so you're always at risk it might forget previous information when you go beyond the first response, there is simply no visibility or guarantee. I call it, fog-of-context. GPT5.4 is $15. GPT5.4-pro is $180, how will the next model be priced? What can pro model do that you can't do with any other model and why did they remove cached pricing? Don't get me started about the input. We shouldn't even be paying for that. They should be happy some of us continue to use OpenAI despite other's opinions. Sam Altman should be kissing us, not them.

HN could post the IP address of commenters but they wont.

Get ready for rolling blackouts, electricity is next.

I feel like people will never understand because it's too easy to think that it should just work.

Answer: the more you know yourself, the less you rely on the model.

Do your own reasoning or you won't be able to afford to use these things soon.

Still can't compete with a used ThinkPad from ebay.

ipad is one of those devices that doesn't need to exist, along with apple watch.

It costs more if you only need one line.

This area has been saturated and you have to look elsewhere. The future has only one page, the login page.

There's nothing you can do against civilizational movement. Most people exist because of other people. When those other people lose jobs, so will you.

That's what happens when you have to hit the ground running. Welcome to USA.

No one wants to be approached.

I refuse to use anything but OpenAI API.
