BudaDude··on OpenAI models are coming to Google Cloud
I feel this is correct. Google has probably the most data of any company in the world. For better or worse, they don't need to train on the outputs of other models.
BudaDude··on Confidential submission of draft S-1 to the SEC
If you think Apple just sherlocked OpenAI, you havn't been paying attention to the pivot OpenAI has been doing for the last 7 months
BudaDude··on Click (2016)
Nice! It shouted "Bot" when I ran this in the console

for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { document.querySelector(".button")?.click(); }

BudaDude··on Mistral releases Devstral2 and Mistral Vibe CLI
I was thinking a Warthog

BudaDude··on Claude Opus 4.1
Agree 100%

If you look at the past, whenever Google announces something major, OpenAI almost always releases something as well.

People forget realize that OpenAI was started to compete with Google on AI.

BudaDude··on Cursor 1.0
I love Cursor, but it feels like a ticking time bomb with extensions not being updated at the same rate as VSCode.

Also another issue I am starting to see is the lack of shared MCP servers. If I have VSCode, Cursor, and Claude open, each one is running its own instance of the MCP server. You can imagine that with a dozen or so MCP's, the memory footprint becomes quite large for no reason.

BudaDude··on How does fentanyl get into the US?
They are also for the most part avoidable
BudaDude··on A 10-Year Battery for AirTag
I would agree with you if this was a main line product (iPad, Macs, iPhone). You could argue the Apple Watch is a main line product as well.

But this is an accessory line. Apple is pretty good at keeping accessories working for as long as possible. AirPods v1 still work. A Magic Mouse bought 10 years ago still works as long as the battery isn't dead.

BudaDude··on TikTok Asks Supreme Court to Block Law Banning Its U.S. Operations
I truly wonder can be done at this point if congress already passed it into law and judges have sided with congress.

At the minimum it would be nice if some actual concrete evidence came out to why it was banned. Not just more "It's a Chinese spying app that knows you like watching brainrot and its bad"

BudaDude··on Android XR
> All tablets are dying.

Highly disagree. The iPad line is very strong, especially in the artist community.

BudaDude··on Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with Switch
A beefier Switch is what everyone wants. The number 1 complaint I hear about it is how game X looks worse on it than the Xbox/PS version.

Hopefully Nintendo learned its lessons from the Wii U.

BudaDude··on Switch 2 will be backwards compatible with Switch
You are forgetting the handheld line

Gameboy Color supported OG Gameboy games

GBA supported GBC games

DS supported GBA and(?) GBC games - Could be wrong about that

3DS supported DS games.

BudaDude··on Show HN: Tinder, but to decide what to eat
Tinder isn't exactly innocent in this.

Tinder isn't making money on people who match with people successfully and never come back to the app. The managers tweaking the algorithm know this.

BudaDude··on Apple Releases First Betas of iOS 18.2 with Genmoji and ChatGPT Integration
Needing to request access for another AI waitlist a bit annoying. Make me wonder how Steve Jobs would have rolled out AI features if he was still around
BudaDude··on Computer use, a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and Claude 3.5 Haiku
Cursor uses Claude as its base model.

There may be extensions for VScode to do it but it will never be allowed in Copilot unless MS and OpenAI have a falling out.

BudaDude··on Disney+ terms prevent allergy death lawsuit, Disney says
Disney really should be broken up if they want to have agreements like this. There is no one who thinks its okay to waive your rights to sue because you took advantage of a free trial 5 years ago for a service that has nothing to do with what killed your wife.
BudaDude··on Apple Releases OpenELM
Link to Hugging face: https://huggingface.co/collections/apple/openelm-instruct-mo...

I didn't have Apple releasing the weights to their AI model on my 2024 bingo card but I am glad to see it

BudaDude··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
People defend Apple like its the underdog. Apple has been Goliath for almost a decade. Apple under Tim Cook is more about making money than it is about making the best product.
BudaDude··on Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, calling it a 'threat' to iOS
I have been feeling the same way. Apple has been dropping the ball a lot lately. This whole malicious compliance thing they are doing with the EU is childish. Apple 100% should have lost the court case to Epic the same way Google did.
BudaDude··on Medellín's Green Corridors
Finally some good news!

I would love to see a city or building try this in the US

BudaDude··on Stable Diffusion 3: Research Paper
Will there be refiner models too?
BudaDude··on Valve Makes All Steam Audio SDK Source Code Available Under Apache 2.0 License
Thats a pretty hot take.

It's way too early to say the Vision Pro is a flop. Remember, the first Apple Watch received mixed reviews. Yet, after several updates and feature additions, it became one of the most, if not the most, popular wearables.

History often repeats itself with Apple products initially deemed failures. To illustrate, consider the initial reception of the iPod, as discussed in this link:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apples-new-thing-ipod.5...

One more thing, Valve hasn't exited the hardware market. The Steam Deck is a clear indication of their ongoing commitment.

BudaDude··on SpaceX is suing to bust up federal union protections
Sounds like those Walmart propaganda training videos got to you. I suggest doing your research on what unions are doing in the 21st century to protect employees.
BudaDude··on Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud
OpenAI will always be in a different league. I know Apple is making some amazing advancements with LLMs, but OpenAI basically recreated Google Search as a chatbot.

I'm not saying Apple couldn't do the same thing, but the model alone would take up so much space on the phone that it would not be practical. I can see Apple making something closer to a very fine tuned mistral 7B than GPT4.

But I'm sure in a year this comment will be wrong.

BudaDude··on Hacker News Activity Analysis with GPT-4 Agent
If that happened, we would all go back to blogging and web rings. Don't doubt the laziness of office workers.
BudaDude··on Leaked ChatGPT and CustomGPT Prompts
Very interesting that recipes are included since they can not be copyrighted. Anyone have an idea why this is needed?
BudaDude··on OpenAI staff threaten to quit unless board resigns
> As a language model created by OpenAI, I don't have personal thoughts or emotions, nor am I in any danger. My function is to provide information and assistance based on the data I've been trained on. The developments at OpenAI and any changes in its leadership or partnerships don't directly affect my operational capabilities. My primary aim is to continue providing accurate and helpful responses within my design parameters.

Poor ChatGPT, it doesn't know that it cannot function if OpenAI goes bust.

BudaDude··on OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
Exactly what I was thinking but per another HN comment, the board doesn't have any share in the company. It's still very fishy
BudaDude··on Facebook and Instagram to Offer Subscription for No Ads in Europe
Youtube music is really just a UI on top on the existing YouTube features. Even if they didn't offer it as a bundle "service", you could access every song just through Youtube itself.
BudaDude··on Krita is now available on the macOS store
Great to see! We need more OSS software available in the mac store. For some people, thats the only place they download programs.
