taytus··on Analyzing the World Chess Championship 2024: Empirical synthesized approach
To your point, Magnus Carlsen, arguably the GOAT, hung a rook yesterday.
taytus··on WPEngine, Inc. vs. Automattic– Order on Motion for Preliminary Injunction
I would say, negative ROI at this point.
taytus··on When you ask ChatGPT "Tell me a story" it's always is about a girl named Elara
Not understanding how LLMs work.
taytus··on ChatGPT Search
Maybe I'm alone on this, but I genuinely believe that SEO ruined the web.
taytus··on Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
Computer use won't allow you to log in to social media accounts, even if it is your account and credentials. Bummer.
taytus··on Cofounder Mode: My tactical guide to finding a cofounder
Shooters gonna shoot I'm working on something new. It's pre-seeded and MVP is almost ready, and pilots will start in three weeks. It involves AI and education. I'm an engineer, raised VC money before, and I'm planning to raise again. If you love sales and want to learn more, email me.
taytus··on Five days a week in the office? Forget it
They are priced in.

Co A offers $X Co B offers $Y

You take whatever makes sense to you.

taytus··on Meta Movie Gen
I'll tell you why. I think it's fair to say that most of the people who visit this site are technologists.

Most of us love technology. So why are people reacting like this?

Because we know how this will be used. We know of grifters and quick-buck schemes. We know that, unfortunately, the web as we know it is rapidly dying. We know of the scammers calling you with your loved ones' cloned voices.

We know how powerful this tech is, how easy it is, and how it will be misused.

taytus··on Correcting the record for Continue and PearAI
"What do you guys do?"

"Oh... you do X? We funded a company _last year_ that also does X. How are you guys different?"

"Ok, I see, it is a fork. Very nice. Let me check what changes have you done"

I know most VCs never read commits, but they could have someone to check them for them. Maybe this is one of those changes Garry mentioned.

taytus··on Correcting the record for Continue and PearAI
Yes, pretty much.

I hate what they did and how YC (not only Garry) reacted.

Let's hope these guys come out with something unique to benefit humankind. Hope is all we have left.

taytus··on Llama 3.2: Revolutionizing edge AI and vision with open, customizable models
meta.ai still running on 3.1
taytus··on OpenAI didn’t copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice for ChatGPT, records show
IDK, we were talking about OpenAi regardless. I think this will be a hit on him as a leader. How big? I don't know. It seems to me this is not a brilliant move.
taytus··on OpenAI didn’t copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice for ChatGPT, records show
What about the back and forth trying to hire her, and she refusing?

Sounds like: "Eh nevermind, we are going to use it anyway and BTW, I'm going to tweet 'HER' "

You don't think that will have no weight whatsoever in a lawsuit?

taytus··on Sam Altman's Fall from Grace
He tweeted "HER". That has nothing to do with politics. It was so easy NOT to do that.
taytus··on GPT-4o
The italian output in the demo was really bad.
taytus··on GPT-4o
the OpenAI live stream was quite underwhelming...
taytus··on Tell HN: Ever think of applying to YC? Do it this weekend for S24
Awesome! I will send it over. Thank you, Dang!
taytus··on Tell HN: Ever think of applying to YC? Do it this weekend for S24
We are an early stage startup, $75K ARR (not a lot), 3 engineers, partnership with Accenture in 3 countries, working with top tier brands and got rejected 3 times.

We will apply again.

Would someone be kind enough to review our application?

Thank you so much.

taytus··on Tesla to lay off more than 10% of its staff
At different scale, but the same reason why I don’t spend $8 in twitter. I can afford it, but I won’t give than guy any money.
taytus··on You won't find a technical co-founder
You will. Email me.
taytus··on Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison
50 years. What the prosecutor asked.
taytus··on Rabbit: LLM-First Mobile Phone
Why did they turn off comments on their YouTube video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22wlLy7hKP4&ab_channel=rabbi...

This smells fishy.

taytus··on OpenAI Leaked GPT-4.5
I'm not claiming the photo is real, but it's important to remember humans make mistakes.
taytus··on Charlie Munger has died
"Every time you hear EBITDA, just substitute it with bullshit." Absolute legend. RIP.
taytus··on Asks HN: Solo founders-How to respond when customers ask how big is your company
I've used: "We are tiny but mighty!"

People don't care how big you are but what problems you solve for them

Now we are four people working full time in our company, but still... tiny but mighty.

taytus··on DALL·E 3
I don't see it. I use chatgpt to create prompts for midjourney. It takes me a couple of clicks only. I don't see the massive difference. Specially since midjourney is much much better than DallE
taytus··on X updates its terms to ban crawling and scraping
INAL but wasn't scrapping legal? They can ban it in their T&C but that doesn't make it illegal.
taytus··on Was Y Combinator worth it?
I eat NOs from YC for breakfast.
taytus··on Third-party Reddit apps are being crushed by price increases
So? I wan't comparing HN with Reddit.

I meant that HN is very popular without having an amazing user experience, specially on mobile.
