I exclusively use 5.5-xhigh-fast within Codex and find it superior to Opus 4.8.

This is such an absurd statement. What US aerospace has created post 1969 is nothing short of remarkable in comparison. (And we can be proud of the Apollo era too.)

AI is just autocomplete. -> AI must be regulated. -> We want AI.

Wait, what happened to wanting a safety first mindset and government regulation of big tech?

I understand that all employees have equal salary pay (apart from sales people who can earn more and are valued higher). Do all have equal equity and voting rights, at least within common stock?

And since transparency is a core value and principle, will you commit to sharing your cap table publicly?

That’s not how it works. Investors don’t mandate operational decisions. That’s for… operators. What they do ask for, in exchange for their investment, are things like revenue growth or certain margins.

You can crap on those investors. The answer then is to never take their money. But without money, the job probably wasn’t created in the first place. So the result is the same.

By the way, ever work alongside a really crappy non-executive and wonder how on earth they’re keeping their job? I sure have.

For the sake of clarity, it's well above its historic IPO price, but near or slightly below where it began trading that day once it officially opened.

Yes there were all these people talking on the bus before wireless headphones.

I would just love to hear your definition of that word.

The scale of the numbers is exceptional, but the shape is pretty typical for a high-growth, scale startup with a big TAM where a winner can take most. And compute, supply constrained as it is for the foreseeable future, is absolutely a moat. I come away from this thinking OpenAI is actually in very good shape given that revenue is growing fast enough that break-even has a clear path without doing anything draconian.

That’s not how that works.

This was a fantastically smart deal for both sides.

AI works by responding to prompts. So if you’re dissatisfied with what it produces, consider a critique of its user.

Only on HN can you get content like this. What a community.

If this is true, the Trump administration did the correct and responsible thing. All the immediate pouncing last night is a good reminder to wait a moment for the facts. I’m sure there’s more to learn even still.

Quick, someone start open data center and open energy system and open water supply.

Gosh I sure hope OpenAI had nothing to do with this. That would be awfully surprising.

This is exhausting.

The EU is only interested in interoperability and centralization of data so they can put their citizens under surveillance. I hope Apple continues to exit this market on the edges.

Which is great because the parent comment provides a precise timeline.

Elon is controversial, and I know the popular mood is to dunk on this IPO, but in the end he gets a lot right. I think it's very likely the Tesla deal happens, and I further thing that regardless what Google and Anthropic do long-term — SpaceX/Tesla will likely have an awful lot of Optimus robots, and those robots will need an awful lot of compute. I'd be very surprised if Elon lets some frontier lab be the intelligence layer of his robotics stack when he has all the raw materials himself. And in fact, rather than introduce model COGS, he will have had the frontier labs paid for all the CapEx he'll need to run robotic inference using his own models.

Pretty smart if that's what happens.

>However, we assign this scenario, in which both Starship is reusable and scaled orbital data centers are highly successful, a 7% chance of happening

I may agree with their overall sentiment, but I think this sort of formulation is just silly nonsense from analysts who build models instead of companies.

This is all just the typical Elon hate. What's desperate about getting paid $920,000,000 per month? If that's desperation, I'd love to start groveling more!

Given extreme supply constraints, it's very unlikely that Google or Anthropic will just suddenly cancel right after the IPO unless their own demand collapses. And even if this were true, what value would that provide Musk? Could you imagine if your newly public company suddenly received termination notices from your two largest compute customers? Disaster.

Try logic.

The shame of this is that even if you as a consumer choose not to buy them, others will. And while anyone can take a photo of you in public, you’ll have glasses taking pictures of you and transferring your identity and location to Meta servers (who by the way contract with the government).

Please hurry Apple.

NYTimes is not unique, but yes, they are a for-profit entity focused on audience building and audience retention. Their audience tends to be liberal leaning types, and so their aim is to produce content for that audience. This particular example is disgusting.

My suggestion is subscribe to Breaking Points or try them for free on YouTube. You won't get the breadth of content given their scale, but you will get a more honest approach to delivering news.

Please share that conversation you reference where the community said Elixir doesn’t need types because it is magic.

You're delusional. Anthropic's success is not only the model - it's the harness. I'd absolutely be able to tell the difference between Claude Code and, say, Gemini CLI.

Backbone if you’re a real engineer.

That rocket appears to have crashed into an open plain. It was a village?
