ronsor··on Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished
I stand corrected. They apparently ignored copyright too (in retrospect, using existing screenplays made sense for the early industry).
ronsor··on iPhone Duo
I still don't get the fanfare over folding phones. They tend to be more fragile, and if I really need a larger screen, I'd much rather use a laptop or tablet.
ronsor··on Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished
Hollywood was created by ignoring (Edison) patents, not copyright.

On the other hand, Disney's success is largely owed to public domain adaptations, and for a century, it did its best to shrink the public domain and expand copyright.

In some situations it's the only way to get a decent download speed.

Still not enough fraud

That's been all technology since forever.

"Computer says no."

Well GPT-6 wasn't involved in this mess.
ronsor··on Tell HN: OpenAI brings back 5 hour limit for plus and business standard users
Hyper gives $12.50 worth of usage every 24 hours, totaling $375 per month. It resets at the same time regardless of when you start, unlike the 5 hour limits on other providers. Yes, it's only $20/month. It's also insanely fast; I've never gotten 75+ tokens/sec on K3 from any other provider.
ronsor··on Tell HN: OpenAI brings back 5 hour limit for plus and business standard users
First of all, it still has the 5 hour limits, which is what this thread is about and what I think what most in this thread want to avoid.

Second, the offerings are subject to change at random. They advertised $60 of usage for $10/month (knowing most users wouldn't reach that). This was consistently the case up until early August, when the per-model "usage multipliers" started taking over. Some models give $15 of usage per month, others $30, still others remain at $60, and apparently one at $100 now?[0] Either way, I don't want to expend the mental effort to track which model is the best deal for capability and usage.

Right now I use Hyper[1] for $20/month and give $100/month to OpenAI. Not OpenAI's biggest fan, but the value is good right now, and that's what matters.

Opencode Go's value is pretty poor these days. It was better a month or two ago.
ronsor··on Nitter and XCancel resume service after legal advice
Because unfortunately people still post things on X that I find relevant, even if I don't use the platform much, and pragmatism wins over pure principles.

There'd better be or your network is probably hosed.

ronsor··on Xfinity silently blocks lots of new domains
This is the problem for using email blacklists for non-email purposes. They're barely good for email at that.
ronsor··on Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns
The UI/UX is the main thing. I technically have an X-Twitter account that I rarely use, but loading plain HTML with a bit of JS beats loading a whole SPA experience just to read a post.
ronsor··on Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI
Oh no! I'll make sure to tell the Chinese companies about the copyright risks.
ronsor··on Sanders introduces bill to ban artificial superintelligence and pause AI
HN has plenty of comments critical of AI training and AI in general. I don't think "Big AI" has downvote bot armies here, or if there are, they really need improvement because they clearly haven't been working lately.

"Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech"

We've been down this road before with cryptography. No, it's not going to work.

ronsor··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
I couldn't even get Fable to build my auth endpoints at all!
ronsor··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Fable is way too expensive for basic software stuff. Other models are more than good enough for that.

In general, if Fable isn't blocking you, there's a high chance a lower tier model would work fine.

ronsor··on European Commission Revives Push for Encryption Backdoors in ProtectEU Strategy
I don't think Spain or Sweden are very responsible for most of the Middle Eastern woes. If anything, blame the US.

Europe has learned the lesson that extremists are bad, but it has not learned the lesson that the tools shouldn't exist.
ronsor··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
I used to think OpenAI was the only bad actor until I realized they were the only honestly corporate actor.

The other AI companies obfuscate their goals much better.

ronsor··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
Exactly. Astra will likely get its Mythos moment, and then another Chinese lab releases its equivalent three months later while Anthropic releases a newer, better model.
