jgbuddy··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
Yes, and they were accepted. A year or two ago I would have been less confident but now almost UX is happy to cite sources.
jgbuddy··on Lombardy increases tax on data centers built in green and agricultural areas
Agreed- my comment was tongue-in-cheek.
jgbuddy··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
A literal example is that I can use AI to file my taxes instead of spending a weekend and hundreds of dollars to have an accountant do it for me. It costs me like $5. that 245$ delta is the value of that output to me, as long as I am confident it is correct.
jgbuddy··on I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit
You are making the assumption that the models are only used / paid for by 2.5% of the population (your knowledge workers value). There will be new value created by these models which people are happy to pay for which simply did not exist at all before. It is also naive to say that the hyperscalers are going to be expecting a return on this in 5 years, it will be entirely propped up by investments / IPOs as has been the case with any tech company for decades now to reach scale. The hyperscalers are currently spending ~650b combined annually, which they have the cash for and can sell in future compute instantly.
jgbuddy··on Italy region: +200% tax on datacenters built in green/agricultural areas
This is surely a huge blow to all the hyperscalers looking to build datacenters in the agricultural regions of Italy.
jgbuddy··on Why AI Agents Cannot Change Software Systems
Exactly

How to get to HN front page: 1) AI generate an article about why AI sucks 2) Profit

jgbuddy··on Shunning AI is the human choice
True
jgbuddy··on I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis
agreed completely
jgbuddy··on Nintendo announces price increases for Nintendo Switch 2
Funny the European and US models have the same price. effectively a 20% discount buying it in europe.
jgbuddy··on Chevrolet Performance eCrate package (400v/200hp)
Even if someone could buy this off she shelf and install themselves- I don't see a single use case that would make this cool at this power level (eg. EV conversions- 200hp is slow in almost anything!)
jgbuddy··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
Anthropic actually not so bad. Anthropic models code good, usually. Price not so high compared to time to do it by self.
jgbuddy··on Tesla Cybertruck sales inflated: SpaceX bought 1,279 units
What would the alternative have been? Not reporting that they were purchased at all?

The premise here seems to be that spacex purchased the trucks for the sole purpose of inflating the tesla reporting, which of course makes no sense from a business perspective

jgbuddy··on A Python Interpreter Written in Python
one liner:

jgbuddy··on Expanding Swift's IDE Support
This is huge, long time coming. Interested to see if there is SwiftUI support.
jgbuddy··on Qwen3.6-Plus: Towards real world agents
Well don't we have numbers from both models on these benchmarks already? What else is there to do except include them in the table?
jgbuddy··on A forecast of the fair market value of SpaceX's businesses
Bingo!
jgbuddy··on A forecast of the fair market value of SpaceX's businesses
Were people overpaying 30% for tesla in 2010?
jgbuddy··on Qwen3.6-Plus: Towards real world agents
Worth noting that this model, unlike almost all qwen models, is not open-weight, nor is the parameter count exposed. Also odd that it is compared against opus 4.5 even though 4.6 was released like 2 months ago.
jgbuddy··on Apple at 50
Agreed
jgbuddy··on I built an AI receptionist for a mechanic shop
As with any AI post lol
jgbuddy··on HP trialed mandatory 15-minute support call wait times (2025)
This is unfortunately how companies die
jgbuddy··on Show HN: Calyx – Ghostty-Based macOS Terminal with Liquid Glass UI
Is this a joke
jgbuddy··on The purpose of Continuous Integration is to fail
This is of course true as a blanket "gotcha" headline- although I wouldn't call a failed test the CI itself failing. A real failure would be a false positive, a pass where there wasn't coverage, or a failure when there was no breaking change. Covering all of these edge cases can become as tiresome as maintaining the application in the first place (of course this is a generalization)
jgbuddy··on Create value for others and don’t worry about the returns
Lol AI is not search. I will never wrap my head around the pessimism of AI on HN
jgbuddy··on Ask HN: How to be alone?
Damn this thread is a gold mine. Wishing you the best. My advice is to prioritize health and exercise and spend time outside somewhere you can run into new interesting people. build a circle
jgbuddy··on Where things stand with the Department of War
this paid off so well for anthropic and so poorly for sam altman. Optics are everything- look at the comments of the cbs interview.
jgbuddy··on MacBook Neo
Interested to see how 8gb of ram holds up here.
jgbuddy··on Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston
Isn't that the whole point of the tariff? To incentivize US investment?
