LUmBULtERA··on Gemini 4 Carbon
>pushing out huge challengers in the space

I thought it's not actually available to anyone? They announce huge challengers, but they don't exactly "push" them out...

LUmBULtERA··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
Okay. The point is that, to me, the analogy does not hold at all.
LUmBULtERA··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
To me, this analogy holds if the point of science is the recognition by peers for a discovery rather than the discovery itself. A race is a competition by its nature, whereas scientific discovery has enormous value by itself no matter who discovers it. I prefer earlier discovery rather than worry about which racer gets credit.
LUmBULtERA··on Claude Duet
... from this, and not Muse, Grokbot, and Dot? This is Claude catching up in functionality, not something new.
LUmBULtERA··on Claude Duet
I like Muse, and OpenAI's Dot. But what will differentiate this for me is the model. I grew frustrated with Muse's lackluster model, and increasingly with OpenAI's Dot as even if it implements my asks with Astra I just have not been to happy with the output. If Claude/Opus can do better, that's all the differentiation I need.
LUmBULtERA··on Muse Spark Open
You can export all your data from OpenAI and Anthropic. I also exported all of my Liked songs on Spotify and have a scheduled task to pull any new ones each day.
LUmBULtERA··on Siri is so bad at everything
It's so private, even Siri can't do anything when you ask :D.
LUmBULtERA··on Siri is so bad at everything
Yes! it's so darn slow, then there's a 50/50 chance it either does the thing, or does nothing at all. It's driving me a bit bonkers.
LUmBULtERA··on Siri is so bad at everything
I was optimistic when I updated MacOS, iOS, and got a new series 12 watch to replace my series 8. But... it's terrible. It doesn't seem to be able to do much of what I ask, and Siri on my watch is somehow less responsive than it was on my Series 8 watch. When I talk to Siri on my watch, the Siri icon thing spins around as if it does something, then it does nothing? I don't understand.
LUmBULtERA··on Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years
We use this term when little kids aren't old enough to just go out and find their friends and play. E.g., 2-5 year olds definitely aren't going to be let to go wander around the street.
LUmBULtERA··on Ask HN: Why hasn't AI replaced Tax filing software
Give it a little time, AI (SI, whatever) has only started getting good very recently without hallucinating on everything. This year I plan to use Turbotax as a first pass and then have the then-current SOTA model review it. Next year, maybe the same, but then I'd be surprised if I ever pay Turbotax another cent after 2027.
LUmBULtERA··on What Meta got right with Muse
Not true, I use OpenAI's Dot on my phone all the time. It might need to be set up first on Desktop or web?
LUmBULtERA··on Ask HN: Which model do you use for work?
Astra on Extra High. Knowledge work, the right answer is much more important than a fast or cheap answer. If I were to switch to Anthropic, Opus 5.5 or Fable 5.1 on high or better.
LUmBULtERA··on MiMo v2.6
Most OpenAI and Anthropic consumers are consuming directly, not indirectly from OpenRouter. So I don't think that data means anything.
LUmBULtERA··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
Things are or were labeled wrong... I clicked a button for "upgrade to iOS 27" but then follow up dialogue is talking about upgrading to 26.7. When supposedly I'm already running 26.7. It's very weird.
LUmBULtERA··on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27
Anyone else accidentally upgrade to 26.7 first?
LUmBULtERA··on Claude is only available to people over 18 years
Yes, I'm wondering why it's upvoted like this is something new today. What's going on?
LUmBULtERA··on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
My 15 pro bought on release is at 91% and 607 cycles, for more reference.
LUmBULtERA··on Do you think it happened? Research stolen from their Codex private chats
Just an FYI, despite the wording on this, my "don't train on this" checkbox never changes (I don't need to re-toggle it, or change it on every device, etc...). This post reads as if its something that needs to be done repeatedly. Also if you turn on the advanced security option, ChatGPT locks to no training and cannot even be toggled on if you wanted it to.
LUmBULtERA··on OpenAI restores 5-hour Codex and Work limits for ChatGPT Plus users
How is that the case? ChatGPT not only gives a lot of Codex/Agentic usage, once you've run out of that you still have a massive quota of Chat usage that's entirely separate. You can still use plug-ins with Github, Google Drive, etc... using the Chat usage as well.
LUmBULtERA··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
I'm still not sure, there's a promo going on now, but generally Go gives $60 of API credit and right now it might be $120 with deepseek. But $20/month OpenAI subscription I believe gives you many hundreds of API-equivalent usage? I've heard $100/month giving many thousands API-equivalent per month.
LUmBULtERA··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
Is it still cheaper than Luna if using an OpenAI subscription? My gut is no, but I have not done the math.
LUmBULtERA··on Improving GPT‑5.6 Sol in ChatGPT, expanding GPT‑5.6 Luna access for free users
>They need to slow down and do a model release once a year and only do extremely minor iterations instead.

There are a ton of use-cases where the models still struggle a lot and make bad decisions, I'd much prefer they continue their acceleration for a while more.

LUmBULtERA··on Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
I have friends and family who use Gemini, but entirely because their Pixel phones came with a year of it for free. No other reason, and they will most likely never pay for it.
LUmBULtERA··on Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
The subsidizing thing is repeated over and over without proof. Personally, I doubt they're actually subsidized.
LUmBULtERA··on The Kimi K3 Moment
Maybe, but Tibo said something on Twitter last week making it sound like it might not be.
LUmBULtERA··on The Kimi K3 Moment
Given how OpenAI got rid of their 5-hour limits and reset weekly limits so often, is Kimi really undercutting them on effective price?
LUmBULtERA··on The Kimi K3 Moment
Sure, but at those API rates it doesn't beat the subscription plans for OpenAI.
LUmBULtERA··on ChatGPT Work
Literally no UI changes when I toggle between the two. It's 100% identical, one is not less technical than the other.
LUmBULtERA··on ChatGPT Work
>Also, when you toggle btween ChatGPT Work and ChatGPT Codex, nothing changes. This is super confusing.

This is the weirdest thing. It's completely unclear even if I was using the app for "work" rather than "coding" why I wouldn't just use the "Codex" option. Why even bother toggling? Can Codex actually not do any of the things in "Work"?
