a_victorp··on Apple targets dozens of OpenAI employees with legal letters
You don't need to "come from a poor country" to have seen this
a_victorp··on A robot is sprinting towards you. Do you want it running on Claude or Grok?
I wish the author would open source the full benchmark. I'm curious how sensitive the results would be to small changes in the benchmark initial conditions
a_victorp··on Using AI to write better code more slowly
This has been one the most significant improvements of using AI for me. Before I would have to really think through the plan of a new feature before committing to the implementation and would only catch incompatibilities with existing code after a good portion of the implementation was already written. Now I can ask AI for detailed implementation plans and find these nitty gritty detail problems in a few hours if not less
a_victorp··on The hypocrisy of cyberlibertarianism
Thank you! I was trying to find someone pointing this out
a_victorp··on The hypocrisy of cyberlibertarianism
To be fair, "american" could refer to anything made in the American continent (North, Central and South America)
a_victorp··on Meta's embrace of A.I. is making its employees miserable
In my view, the core of the solution here is to realize that no system will be stable and "perfect" forever. That is, we may chart into the unknown and arrive at a pretty good solution that benefits people, but over time, as people relax, some people will try to take power and eventually succeed. My point is: some people will always try to get advantages. So it will always come to the community to put in work to improve society and guarantee the benefits are given to all. There is no defining a set of rules and forgetting about it
a_victorp··on Appearing productive in the workplace
Same, the other day my manager sent a python script to create a jira ticket from some data to a team slack channel... as if no one else could figure that out or ask some LLM (sorry, I needed to vent)
a_victorp··on Claude.ai and API unavailable [fixed]
On the other hand, it was somewhat expected that we would have a correction for the prices. Hopefully after this correction things will be more stable and we won't have to worry too much about future price increases
a_victorp··on How ChatGPT serves ads
> That is what a lie is.

I don't think that is, because, at the time, he probably haven't decided one way or another. I think about it like the Schrodinger's cat. If Schrodinger's said "I think the cat is dead" and you went ahead and opened the box and found the cat alive, would Schrodinger have lied?

a_victorp··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
We need a Wine-like compatibility layer for android alternatives
a_victorp··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
He was charged with "unlawful use of confidential government information for personal gain, theft of non-public government information, commodities fraud, wire fraud, and making an unlawful monetary transaction.". Supposedly, unlawful use of government confidential information could also be applied to legislative and other people in the government
a_victorp··on OpenAI Acquires TBPN
They are probably preparing for an IPO
a_victorp··on Epic Games to cut more than 1k jobs as Fortnite usage falls
Just a company with 40%+ of ownership from Tencent, Disney and Sony (all public traded companies). You could have googled this
a_victorp··on Microsoft's "fix" for Windows 11
Zoom has this feature as well
a_victorp··on OpenAI Has New Focus (on the IPO)
It's unlikely to happen because of the deal MS has with OAI. It's hard to ignore a percentage of revenue as money back guarantee
a_victorp··on The American Healthcare Conundrum
The median salary in the US is around $61k a year and in Japan is around $42k a year. Salary-wise the difference is not as big as GDP per capita
a_victorp··on Polymarket gamblers threaten to kill me over Iran missile story
I'd say that the advantage for Venezuelans has more to do on having a cheap and fast way of transferring money than the cryptocurrency itself. IIRC an article that I read pointed that crypto holdings in there where very short lived, meaning people didn't keep the coins as a way of savings
a_victorp··on Ageless Linux – Software for humans of indeterminate age
I wouldn't bet on it
a_victorp··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans.
I had never noticed the flow of AI text. They do make the flow of reading feel weird with a lot of pauses! Thanks for pointing it out
a_victorp··on No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user
To capture market.
a_victorp··on I'm reluctant to verify my identity or age for any online services
Gotta love the slippery slope argument
a_victorp··on /e/OS is a complete, fully “deGoogled” mobile ecosystem
I think it's not a bad thing that people make the "Don't use this one use this one it's better!" comment, at least from my perspective. That is one way I end up learning about the options I have!
a_victorp··on OpenAI agrees with Dept. of War to deploy models in their classified network
I tried doing that but I'm certain they didn't delete it, because I tried logging in after a week and it worked
a_victorp··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
You definitely would not know if you were, no one does. I think the healthy position is to assume you are wrong and trying to find evidence of why you are wrong

For instance,I'm very skeptical of AI and, from experience, do not think that the current models are worth the cost, but I'm always in HN trying to find arguments/people that use AI successfully to prove that I'm wrong

a_victorp··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
I'd say the latter. Right now AI is Nvidia's biggest consumers. If any big AI company crashes, they'll lose a lot of money
a_victorp··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Not GP, but I imagine they are referring to Nvidia's stock price It's down 6% today
a_victorp··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Or if the stock is not actually worth $100
a_victorp··on OpenAI, the US government and Persona built an identity surveillance machine
It's already frowned upon when crossing the border
a_victorp··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
I'm re reading the Hitchhikers guide and was going to say exactly that!
a_victorp··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
Yeah, that always blew my mind as a non American.
