Thanks, Boris

I agree with your sentiment, but it's totally fine if no one uses it.

It was founder therapy first and foremost (and an exercise in serious play).

If you're into skeumorphism, you'll love it. I put a lot of care into how the buttons and other elements work and interact with each other.

That was not the censorship part.
rrr_oh_man··on Fable and the end of the free lunch
It's much more civilian than bioweapons.

You only need to mention Protected Group Of The Week (I'm one of them and I like to research and read about history, so that makes it extra challenging) or anything resembling negative human emotions (guilty on that front as well), and the model screeches to a halt.

Just because OAI doesn't want another headline like "Chatbot convinces teen to off himself"

I understand this in principle, but I'm not convinced that dulling everyone's knives is better than figuring out how to keep them out of kids' hands

rrr_oh_man··on Show HN: Buslens – where can I get to by bus? (UK)
The thing that suprised me most when scrolling around are the vast (populated!!!) areas that are without any bus service nearby.
rrr_oh_man··on Show HN: Buslens – where can I get to by bus? (UK)
Jesus.

I thought Germany was bad with no A/C and unopenable windows for "security" (= cost savings).

At least the busses* are on time.

* definitely not the trains, though

rrr_oh_man··on Show HN: Buslens – where can I get to by bus? (UK)
That sounds absolutely terrible.

I've been to the Balkans, Central Asia, and rural Mexico for extended periods and they're all better than that (even if they might lack fancy digital screens, which is rapidly changing also).

Wtf, UK?

Unreliable? Seriously?

(I’m not from the UK, it sounds surprising.)

So interesting, thank you!!

What would you say is the split of your token use (between main job / side project)? Do you use agents for everything?

I'm asking because I feel I'm weird in my usage, which is very much structured like 1. organising the context and then 2. send off requests to 1-2 models and continue down the rabbit hole from there. I've found agents take longer and make me learn/retain less about the system I'm building.

Thank you.

> At that price difference, lots of things that are viable to do in whatever harness the subscription allows are simply impractical via API, you'd be spending a whole developer's salary just for the benefit of using a different harness.

Could you elaborate on that?

Off topic: You did the ISBN visualization thing! Awesome!

rrr_oh_man··on OpenAI restores 5-hour Codex and Work limits for ChatGPT Plus users
I get that it’s not nothing, but from personal experience it makes me just so much faster.

I’m basically replicating myself multiple times for a ~10% salary surcharge.

In my mind it’s impossible to not see it that way, unless you just want to capture the subsidy surplus for free.

What’s the company? How did you start? Are you a co-founder?
rrr_oh_man··on OpenAI restores 5-hour Codex and Work limits for ChatGPT Plus users
Man, that was my instinct too, but I’m not sure.

I don’t think everyone here is using Claude/GPT/… to create indie games?

If you’re using it for work then waiting another week/day/hour is a business expense, effectively.

Maybe it's like this guy I know who purchased a new-ish Bugatti but all the service is done by a local mechanic, during his time off, in a barn.

Are you flying business class?
rrr_oh_man··on OpenAI restores 5-hour Codex and Work limits for ChatGPT Plus users
I really don’t get why people use the native chat apps when you can use all models via their APIs with no restrictions.

It’s more expensive, yes, but I assume most people here use it for something that is worth spending money on?
