GenerWork··on Cerebras CS-4
>Guess they don't care about regular devs atm and are focused only on hardware sales.

Why would they want to target regular devs right now? If they sold to regular devs instead of enterprises, the complaint wouldn't be about model choice, it'd be about how expensive it.

GenerWork··on Moderna reports first positive Phase 3 for mRNA neoantigen therapy in melanoma
This is great news! I think people forget how anti-skin cancer protocols even as simple as applying suntan lotion weren't as popular as recent as 50-60 years ago. Lots of "sun children" of the 50s and 60s are now feeling the repercussions of only applying baby oil and are getting hit with lots of melanoma.
GenerWork··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Will they, though? I could see Anthropic extending it since OpenAI cut the pricing of Sol by 50% for the time being.
GenerWork··on Online clinics and influencers are promoting Cialis as a longevity drug
>weightlifters taking viagra to increase their blood flow when working out at the gym

The weightlifting community moved off of Viagra years ago due to Cialis having a much longer half life.

GenerWork··on Grok 4.6
Good to know! If I could make one suggestion, it'd be great to have an example or two in the press release where you have a prompt, and show what the newest model and the prior model made. This would make it super easy to compare the differences between said models.
GenerWork··on Lovable raises $400M Series C
He may be? I'll be honest, I know virtually nothing about his setup other than that this is his passion project and that he's using Lovable to build it.
GenerWork··on Lovable raises $400M Series C
I feel like this valuation could be cut by 75% if Anthropic paid more attention to Claude Design.
GenerWork··on Lovable raises $400M Series C
I actually do know someone who's building a small community with Lovable. It's not a big community and he's still figuring out how to/if he wants to monetize it, but it's all done via Lovable.
GenerWork··on Grok 4.6
>Grok 4.6 produces stronger first passes on visual and interactive projects than we typically saw with Grok 4.5. Given a concrete product idea, it is able to establish structure and visual language for an application in one pass.

As a designer, I'm always hesitant to believe these statements until there's independent comparisons between the old & new model, as well as comparisons to human made flows. Design can be so subjective that blanket statements like this seem almost useless.

GenerWork··on Official: Ford's $29,945 Small EV Truck Is Called Fathom
The Maverick is pretty small compared to other trucks. Smaller than a Ranger, and much, much smaller than the quarter and half ton trucks.
GenerWork··on Is this the end of the once-mighty GoPro?
>The right wing in the US has spent a lot of money and time co-opting the flag as a signal.

So the right wing overuses flag imagery, and as a result the left starts to view the flag as problematic? That's a Democrat/liberal problem.

>To not realize this to me means you either haven't been paying attention, or very much live in a bubble.

I pay attention and don't live in a bubble, and I still think it's absolutely absurd to let the overuse of your countries flag by a specific political group dictate how you feel about seeing said flag.

GenerWork··on Is this the end of the once-mighty GoPro?
>These days it's much weirder to see an American flag, and usually you know it has something to do with MAGAs. The weird thing to me is how you see one massive one in the luggage retrieval area when you arrive in JFK (in New York). Always makes me sigh

This has to be a troll post. Associating the US flag with MAGA? Sighing because a major international airport has a large flag hanging over the baggage area? Come on.

GenerWork··on My midlife crisis Corolla is fast, furious, and modded
You'd think that on a website that has the word "hacker" in its title, more people would be supportive of someone "hacking" their car, but I guess there's not a lot of car people here.
GenerWork··on IBM shares down 23% as clients spend more on hardware and memory chips
>There's no world in which they will vibecode a solution.

It's not like the Bank of Americas of the world are going to get an Anthropic or OpenAI API key, and then use the prompt "move this off of COBOL please". They'll either hire a contractor who'll work out how to best utilize AI to migrate the existing codebase off of mainframes, or spin up an internal team to do the same thing.

GenerWork··on Death of the Status Update: Why 55% of Americans Stopped Posting on Social Media
I've noticed that a lot of my friends switched from text based status updates (Facebook) to image based status updates (Instagram stories). Personally, I got tired of going on Facebook because it was all rage baiting political stuff, and that was all from friends, not even ads.
GenerWork··on GPT-5.6
Agreed, I’m looking forward to trying it out. I think that the rise of visual design skills that are pretty clearly targeted towards Codex users has lit a bit of a fire under their butts.
GenerWork··on Lead Mines of Galena, Kansas
Who exactly is buying lead from a lead smelter these days, battery and ammo manufacturers?
GenerWork··on The Vespa at 80
Are you thinking of older Vespas? There's a few modern ones near me and they've never struck me as overly noisy.
GenerWork··on Job seekers giving up: Labor force participation falls to lowest in 50 years
As someone who's looking for a job, this is what I fear. How does one distinguish themselves from the thousands of other people who say "Claude, write a cover letter for this company, make no mistakes", and their cover letter has the same tone as every other cover letter?
GenerWork··on On cigarettes
This reminds me of the "It looks just as stupid when you do it" anti-smoking poster[0], which was meant to dissuade smoking, but actually goes kind of hard.

GenerWork··on Mexican government unveils a prototype for a new homegrown, ultra-affordable EV
I see this take on SUVs all the time, and I can't help but think it's wrong. Americans just like bigger vehicles and will downsize if gas gets too expensive. There's a reason almost all electric car companies start off with a CUV/SUV/truck, and it's not because they're allergic to sedans or coupes.
GenerWork··on Google Hits 50% IPv6
This will work on nerds (aka the HN crowd) but the average person will read that and wonder why they should care when the page loaded. Also, if you keep displaying the banner people will grow accustomed to it and ultimately ignore it.
GenerWork··on SubQ 1.1 Small
>My guess is that they're angling for an acquisition.

This is what I've thought was going to happen ever since they publicized their efforts. They probably don't have the money to train large models themselves, might as well get a nice chunk of change by being acquired by someone who already has said large models running.

GenerWork··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
I wouldn't be surprised to see Grok become some sort of agent that calls Composer/whatever the joint Cursor & X.ai model might be called.
GenerWork··on Lee Kuan Yew's Singapore Story (2023)
Greece has always had a huge problem with graffiti. I did a semester abroad in Athens, new graffiti popped up all the time, but I never felt unsafe.
GenerWork··on Anthropic raises $65B in Series H funding at $965B post-money valuation
As someone who knows admittedly knows nothing about startup funding rounds, how many more rounds of funding can they do before an IPO? Is it effectively infinite?
GenerWork··on New York Passes Tax on the Ultra-Wealthy
The rich don't really care about insurance rates down here because they can a) pay them, b) tend to gravitate towards newer buildings that have better protection and c) have the money to retrofit older buildings with the necessary protection to lower insurance rates. Miami has the strictest hurricane codes in the country, so while there's a possibility that they may get gutted, it's probably going to be less than people expect.

I live in FL so if you have questions about insurance feel free to ask.

GenerWork··on New York passes pied-a-terre tax
This is fantastic news for the Miami real estate market. Does anybody has stats as to how many homes this would actually affect?
GenerWork··on Cursor Introduces Composer 2.5
I feel like they've been targeting enterprise pretty hard. I know my company uses them, and the companies that hire us also use Cursor.
GenerWork··on AI subscriptions are a ticking time bomb for enterprise
>I don't believe there's that big of a market for local AI. Most people don't care that much,

I agree that the market for local AI is basically limited to nerds at this point, but that's because nobody's really explained why local AI is a good thing and also because the vast majority of people need the $20 paid plan at most. How much time and money would it take to get something half as good as OpenAIs products running locally?
