tty456··on CRISPR tech selectively shreds cancer cells, including "undruggable" cancers
You're confusing the beurocratic FDA stamp of approval with safety and effectiveness. Those are not the same thing.
tty456··on OpenAI mulls slashing prices as it competes with Anthropic for users
How long did AMZN do it for?
tty456··on CEOs who think AI replaces their employees are just bad CEOs
Modern day CEOs of public companies are just more or less hedge fund operators looking to squeeze every last dollar out of their workforce. AI is a tantalizing, if ineffective, lever for that.
tty456··on Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI?
The force is with you, my friend
tty456··on Three of our worst VC stories
It's interesting he provides quotes for the other stories, but not this one. And still doesn't in the thread. Again, i'm not debating the authenticity, but is it possible he's inferring that based on something not-so-explicit being said?

I'd love to see/hear the words that people actually say when I hear stories like "they said they wouldn't [invest/buy/etc] from me because i'm a woman".

tty456··on Three of our worst VC stories
I hear story #1 periodically, but almost never see a quote. How is this stuff said specifically? It always seems like hearsay. I'm sure it's authentic, but I'd love to hear the details on how that stuff is actually said in conversation.
tty456··on Hormuz crisis side effect: a sharp rise in container shipping rates
You mean you once believed he was good at making deals or was that sarcasm?

Trump couldn't care less
tty456··on Green card seekers must leave U.S. to apply, Trump administration says
The "anti illegal immigrant" crowd ignores, or more likely supports, the systemic racism built into the current immigration system put in place by racist lawmakers throughout the country.

This new policy is no different and is a trap to kick out and never accept back more non-white immigrants.

tty456··on Minnesota becomes first state to ban prediction markets
Does it actually ban VPNs? or just ban VPNs from being used to access prediction markets?
tty456··on I’ve joined Anthropic
Interesting methodology
tty456··on A message from President Kornbluth about funding and the talent pipeline
Sad to think of the kind of impact someone like that could have in private sector had they not pursued the phd.
tty456··on Twin brothers wipe 96 government databases minutes after being fired
Written in bourbon
tty456··on Poland is now among the 20 largest economies
It's one thing to say they don't want immigrants taking their jobs. But its a whole other thing to discount foreign investment, giving your people jobs, under your rules...
tty456··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
I feel like Apple's biggest challenges these next 10 years will be logistics, being able to create or take advantage of additional redundancy in the supply chain for their major components.
tty456··on Show HN: MacMind – A transformer neural network in HyperCard on a 1989 Macintosh
So a hypercard is compiled machine code of button clicks and key presses? Weird. I guess that could be macro'd somehow
tty456··on Show HN: MacMind – A transformer neural network in HyperCard on a 1989 Macintosh
Where's the code for the actual HyperCard and building of the .img? I only see the python validator in the repo.
tty456··on Codex for Almost Everything
I'm sure it's been said before, but more and more our development work is encroaching on personal compute space. Even for personal projects. A reminder to me to air gap those to spaces with separate hardware [:cringe:]
tty456··on The Pentagon Threatened Pope Leo XIV's Ambassador with the Avignon Papacy
This administration is 100% acting in a way that it never plans to leave.
tty456··on Muse Spark: Scaling towards personal superintelligence
I don't get the comments trashing this. If it slightly beats or even matches Opus 4.6, it means Meta is capable of building a model competitive with the leading AI company. Sure, they spent a lot of money and will have on-going costs. But how much more work would it take to turn that into a coding agent people are willing to try (and pay for) along side their usage of a collection of agents (Claude, Codex, etc)? Also means Meta doesn't have to pay another company to use a SATA model across all their products (including IG and WhatsApp, vr) which will matter to their balance sheet long term (despite the constant r&d spend).
tty456··on Olympic Committee bars transgender athletes from women’s events
Bingo.
tty456··on Antimatter has been transported for the first time
What about the brig?
tty456··on Tin Can, a 'landline' for kids
Why?
tty456··on Kagi Small Web
Sheldon Brown's content is great, but is it ironic that the first thing you see on his site is a Google banner ad?

Understandably, he'd like to earn money on his content and I see no problem with that. But for me to visit his site and have Google add yet another tracking event to their "interest pile" about me (I guess i'm in the market for bikes now?) is a bit off putting.

He can't be making more than a few bucks a month through that single ad, right?

tty456··on Launch HN: Voygr (YC W26) – A better maps API for agents and AI apps
> Their API can't tell you the chef left last month

Your API can do that? Using what data?

tty456··on Amazon Employees Say AI Is Just Increasing Workload
Only 2 reasons one would stick around: Money and/or visa constraints
tty456··on Is legal the same as legitimate: AI reimplementation and the erosion of copyleft
Google v. Oracle ruled that use of APIs are fair game and could be argued that test cases are strictly a use of APIs and not implementation.
tty456··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
The individuals making these decisions are 100% aware of what they are doing. Driving for and implementing stuff like this is for profits, bonuses, and internal recognition.
tty456··on Pentagon chief blocks officers from Ivy League schools and top universities
Yeah, thats smart. /s
tty456··on ChatGPT Health fails to recognise medical emergencies – study
Right. All doctors are 100% happy to help you, listen intently, and are never condescending! /s
