prodigycorp··on Seedance 2.5
the thing that upped the immersion was the the way it emulated the optical zoom when switching from the 1x lense to the 3x lense
prodigycorp··on Seedance 2.5
This is a matter of effort and direction and not an inherent flaw of the tools. Look at Apple's recent image tools to change perspective. Tools to improve artistry are improving.
prodigycorp··on OpenAI and Anthropic unite against open-weight AI risks to their bottom line
It also doesn't seem to know what it wants. When Trump blocks Fable "there needs to be proper legislation, not an authoritarian controlling this". When an article discusses the legislative process "F' these companies!".

The comments on this article are terrible. I can't believe it's gotten this toxic around here.
prodigycorp··on John C. Dvorak has died
leo, like other radio-type people, always carried a bad combo of big egos and massive chips on shoulders.
prodigycorp··on Late.sh – a command-line Clubhouse for computer people
so, i used my public key. can someone please tell me what i should be worried about now?
prodigycorp··on Jacobian conjecture was proven for 3D, Math seems to be distraction however
i had the exact same takeaway. The sentences dont work without em dashes—they're in fact, unreadable (like if you swapped out the em dash in this sentence with a period). It's extra obvious once you look at OP's blog post history. Earlier ones are riddled with em dashes. Now there's not a single one to be seen.

I don't know why you would assume privilege from a comment like that. If anything, it's the unprivileged kids who would know that you'd get your hand slapped for folding clothes like that.
prodigycorp··on AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making
The Ford case is not about AI coding. It's about computer vision processes that went wrong. This was less about AI and more about Ford being dumb.
prodigycorp··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
OP really figured out the secret to getting on the frontpage. Three frontpages in a row lol
prodigycorp··on Codex Micro
im reading its not well engineered.
prodigycorp··on Show HN: Yamanote.fun – A complete soundscape for Tokyo's Yamanote line
I initially brushed this off as being a clone of yamanot.es. I was wrong, this is delightful. As others said, please add longer train sounds between stations.
prodigycorp··on GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly this Thursday
Do you have a source for this? I'm pretty sure responses api is only there to obfuscate reasoning, but that they're still keeping reasoning traces in the backend.
prodigycorp··on Knowledge Should Not Be Gated
because corporations are using providers with ZDR in the contract. If OAI or any of the cloud providers violate this they're getting sued to oblivion.
prodigycorp··on The bottleneck might be the air in the room
Your comment actually has me convinced that this isn't an issue. I've been a recirculation dude for my entire life, I literally don't drive any other way.
prodigycorp··on Claude Tag
I suppose. But we don't see the rewrite. That's for you.

I think that people see the word "claude" and smash the upvote button. I don't think it's botted. My guess is that people just want another place where they can discuss ai coding workflows.

prodigycorp··on Claude Tag
We ought to rename HN to "The Claude Blog". This is a minor feature update to a slack plugin.
prodigycorp··on Sakana Fugu
if you've used codex or claude, how do the usage limits on fugu feel compared to the pro plans on either? honestly wouldn't mind subscribing to this if it's as generous as what codex is giving me monthly, which seems unrealistic.

ngl, I thought sakana.ai was doing cooler stuff than this. that said, the release of a product like this makes sense because it follows your natural intuition when using these models. The best way to use LLMs is to have at least two in your pocket, because the models do a good job at covering each others assets and filling in obvious model-specific blindspots.

it's interesting that they're offering in the form of fixed cost subscription plans too. My impression was that the first party providers can do this because they api inference margins to the tune of 80ish percent. Anyone else orchestrating on top of these models have to pass through these costs or eat it themselves.

prodigycorp··on Salesforce to Acquire Fin (formerly Intercom) for $3.6B
At the end of the day, the valuation is decided by how much a buyer wants to pay, and how much a seller wants to sell.

That $3 bln number encodes all of that in a price. Not much more to rationalize. It's quite beautiful.

prodigycorp··on Codex for open source
I read anthropic's offer is majorly nerfed compared to their regular 20x plan. I've seen OSS develoeprs ask anthropic to revert their plan to a paid plan because it's otherwise a hindrance.
prodigycorp··on Keygen.music
Shipping a ui like this is downright disrespectful for users here. it makes zero sense.
prodigycorp··on Software Is Made Between Commits
I think it's the other way around. OpenAI is definitely recreating the IDE from scratch with codex app.
prodigycorp··on Software is made between commits
I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach because i know anthropic or openai acquiring zed is inevitable. They have too many good ideas and their software is too good.
prodigycorp··on Lines of code got a better publicist
That's a fair point. To play devils advocate to myself, it's possible that the huge upvote share is due to a much bigger marketshare among our community.
prodigycorp··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
it's also refuses to reply to a bio researcher when they said "hi"
prodigycorp··on Anthropic apologizes for invisible Claude Fable guardrails
Anthropic apologizes for nothing. We all know where the EA cult on things of this matter and any statements otherwise is just PR.

The beliefs of these people, and how they manifest, is deeply terrifying to me. They believe that any means are acceptable to achieve what they believe is a better end.

prodigycorp··on Lines of code got a better publicist
Feels doubly so for Anthropic. There's just unbelievable level of glaze, and insane upvote velocity for "blog posts" that are essentially fluffed up feature documentation.

Somehow everything boris says has become the word of God. The dude is just an engineer, like you and me, who gets unlimited tokens for free.

prodigycorp··on Lines of code got a better publicist
The reality distortion field is strong around anthropic. Anthropic posts tons of equally bullshit blog posts, written entirely by AI, saying absolutely nothing, to the front page and they consistently average many hundreds of upvotes.
