Then a new model comes out two weeks later and finds a hole that your archaic review bot missed

I think it’s harsh to publicly describe your wife as neurotic for following basic etiquette

People have had parties in parents basements, tenements, city parks, open fields, caves, for all of human history

The chart cutting off in 2022 makes it hard to glean too much.

I no longer worry at all about attending a crowded indoor gathering - those would be impossible to avoid in NYC - but enjoying “a night in” without kids is a distinctly post-COVID phenomenon for myself and many people I know

Plenty of people want ads. Every time someone asks “hey ChatGPT what do I need to buy to fix my sink” or “hey Claude what’s the best cat food” or “what’s the best island in the Caribbean for me to visit” they are specifically asking to see an ad.

The ads are the product that people are paying for. “Consumer” AI is currently marketed as agents that book restaurants for you, buy cat food before you run out, organize your travel, etc. etc. These are targeted ads for a particular restaurant, pet store, airline, etc. Some people find this desirable.

If nothing else, it matters to the cow

The economic article is a summary of a preprint paper that surveyed thousands of Americans. Seems like a research paper to me, but I don’t know economics well. Am I missing something?

My mistake on vaccine vs. cure. so have AI make a cure instead

Shipbuilding is but one proxy for China’s dominance in industrialization. A more relevant one for AI is: China has built more energy capacity in the last 4 years than the USA has built in the last 150. AI is increasingly limited by power. For this and other reasons, IMO the US will inevitably be surpassed on AI.

“It’s too late” is a logistical issue IMO. In this article, virus production is totally decentralized and fast, but vaccine production is centralized and slow. Why?

The author scoffing at the climate scientist is so cringe

So somehow AI is able to magically create 100 lethal viruses with no logistical issues but is not able to make a cure due to logistical issues?

what would such proof look like? It's not like allegations are written in Lean

well they didn't really die on the hill. the NYT headline is still "OpenAI says it has cracked one of math's millennium problems" and the whole article doesn't mention this controversy. Normies don't know what NS is and don't care, they'll just see "wow OpenAI is the best I guess"

IMO this link proves the poster’s point. We are passing 1-2 laws a week. So far the 119th congress has passed 104 laws

100 years ago, the 69th congress passed over 1500 laws, plus hundreds of continuing resolutions, treaties, etc https://www.loc.gov/collections/united-states-statutes-at-la...

from my friends in sales, sales perspective could be: going from meeting to meeting just getting yelled at.

- previous customer yells at you for not delivering required features. You ask the engineer about the status of that feature

- engineers write a manifesto on #general complaining about you for asking them about the status of the new feature

- PM calls you in to yell at you for trying to jump the roadmap

- you start prepping for weekly call with the CEO. at least doubled your numbers this quarter!

- while you're prepping you get a response to one of your cold emails from the day prior, someone calling you "gauche" and "annoying"

- go into CEO meeting. CEO yells at you for being 80% under the quota, because the psychotic quota was set to 10x last year's numbers.

- long day! go home. husband yells at you for working late

etc.

That sounds super awesome, but I think college students are always going to find a way to shirk work. For example, in your proposal, plenty of college students would just get another AI to talk to the test administration AI (think Cluely)

Deleted my Instagram account. This should be a bigger international story, but most people outside HN won’t hear about it and won’t understand why this is such a big deal

They probably did limit it somewhat, but to 99.99% lower value accounts. This isn’t the top story of international news because a former president got “hacked”, not Trump, Elon, etc. that literally set national policy via social media post

Yes exclusivity with venues. Live Nation owns and operates or invests in many many many large venues

I definitely found the thesis insightful. The actual content stopped feeling insightful to me in the “What uv drops” section, where cut features were all listed as if they had equal weight, all in the same breathless LLM style

Deepfakes require zero work now

It seems like 99% of apartment listings in the city of New York are virtually staged with AR furniture

It’s explicitly not testing if you can synthesize insulin in a crisis, it’s a general aptitude test for “if we tell you you need to cram this textbook on how to synthesize insulin by next week and then ask you how to do it on a call, can you coherently repeat that back to us?”

I don’t see the value in condescending here. I think the person you’re responding to highlighted an interesting question/point of confusion of whether digital exhibits are on average more or less expensive than physical exhibits in both the short and long term.

Yep I own a rocking chair that my great great grandfather built on a lathe and a dining table my grandfather built. Meanwhile I’ve eventually had to replace almost everything I’ve bought from IKEA.

Not OP but one is kind of interesting. It’s the “I said yes” posts with picture of engagement ring that are a 0 to me

This was a fun prompt. I learned things from the models. Gemini 2.5 was wayy better than gpt5 here even though quite incomplete in the first response

They all got $1.5 million today so I’m not too worried about the poor workers.
