jgbuddy··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
Steve had been an outspoken critic of touchscreen laptops. It seems that none of his original gripes are addressed in this release. Another drop in the bucket of half-assed hardware releases from apple "our competitors have it so we need it too" (vision pro, new homepod thing, iphone duo, etc)
jgbuddy··on Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?
In openAI's case, I would say they sort of have, in the form of sora, ChatGPT Atlas, and coming hardware devices (with the OpenAI name for ownership / ego reasons for sama.) However this turned out to be bad for the company, moving away from core research, which until recently AI hasn't been able to accelerate greatly. so the marginal cost tradeoff (including things like valuation of OpenAI) probably favors focusing efforts purely on providing intelligence.

However openAI is a unique case and I think other companies (and people) will be pumping out more autonomous companies very, very soon, in industries where economics are different.

jgbuddy··on Redesigning source control at Anthropic
> Anthropic uses Claude to write software far more than almost any other company

Who's beating Anthropic here lol

jgbuddy··on Apple HomeView
I can't put my finger on why exactly, but HomeView, iphone duo, and vision pro all seem like areas where apple could've innovated further, but didn't, and end up looking the same as existing hardware with apple software being the differentiator. Maybe other companies just started making hardware the way apple does, who knows. but these products feel very bland.

This should be flagged as an ad (Aren't you the founder?)
jgbuddy··on U.S. postal inspectors shut down website selling counterfeit postage labels
How is this even possible, I thought it was tracked via barcode? do they literally just sort everything by hand?

Crazy name

The last time I used codex CLI it gave me a summary in Chinese lol (and the entire session was English)
jgbuddy··on Tutoring company tells parents to save their money and 'use AI instead'
How many eight-year-olds tutor themselves?
jgbuddy··on Tutoring company tells parents to save their money and 'use AI instead'
This is the biggest thing. The dumbest questions or sometimes the most important.

disagree- i used it for the last few years of coursework preparing for exams. If you give it context (i'm studying for an exam, do not give hints unless asked, your objective is to help my understanding) it is incredibly helpful. This isn't advice, it's a company going out of business.
jgbuddy··on The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry Pi
Good. Raspberry pi foundation thinks making $200 computers is progress, hope they get their lunch eaten
jgbuddy··on iPod Classic 6G in QEMU
Seems to be 100% implemented. Very cool
jgbuddy··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
Had no idea this was what lean looked like- that's mind blowing. I'm not even sure how someone would critique this if they wanted to

Here's the formalization / lean verification: https://github.com/openai/NavierStokesAndEuler
jgbuddy··on We Must Return to the Office to Use AI in Person
AI could never write this
jgbuddy··on LibreOffice breaks download records after declaring it has no AI features
Could also be due to the fact that every codex install includes a copy of libreoffice

jgbuddy··on GPU World
I appreciate their AI usage policy and agree with it
jgbuddy··on I Used AWS Cognito for a Startup. I Wouldn't Do It Again
Yeah good example of this also with the agent stuff they are pushing now, documentation can read to be sales-like and then as you start using it stuff starts to fall apart. At this point there are better open source alternatives (self-hosting) for pretty much anything not requiring specialized hardware
jgbuddy··on Forward-deployed engineer: a $247k to $552k salary jump
FDE = Builder. AI allows engineers to also own delivery. Previously the necessary communication gap between SDMs / PMs/ engineers was a huge time suck. With AI much of it is eliminated and a single FDE can get it all done.
