And OpenAI's influence is hugely exaggerated compared to, say, Google.

Yes, and it seems people hate him more than Google co-founders, for example.

All the downsides without much upside...

Sergey Brin is trying to change that lately, but Altman still has a sizable head start.


> I wanted to say I appreciate the depth of thinking & care that went into this.

The irony lol. The whole ticket is just AI-generated. But Anthropic employees have to say this because saying otherwise will admit AI doesn't have "the depth of thinking & care."


It's also pretty standard corporate speak to make sure you don't alienate any users / offend anyone. That's why corporate speak is so bland.

Ticket is AI generated but from what I've seen these guys have a harness to capture/analyze CC performance, so effort was made on the user side for sure.

The note at the end of the post indicates the user asked Claude to review their own chat logs. It's impossible to tell if Claude used or built a a performance harness or just wrote those numbers based on vibes.

The whole issue is very obviously LLM generated nonsense. The stats are way too specific and reinforce the user’ bias in typical hallucinated fashion.

There is this 3rd party tracker: https://marginlab.ai/trackers/claude-code/

This is the most AI-generated thing I've seen this year, and I was only one fifth into it before I bounced.

Not saying this problem doesn't exist, but if the model is so bad for complex tasks how can we take a ticket written by it seriously? Or this author used ChatGPT to write this? (that'd be quite some ironic value, admittedly)


Yet, somehow Major League had been selling tickets just fine for more than a century without smartphones.

It's a moving target. Forging tickets has gotten easier and easier, and as tickets get more expensive it becomes more and more lucrative. Law enforcement is generally not helpful for this sort of petty larceny so they are looking for structural ways to prevent it.

In past eras they used holograms and watermarks and special papers in an attempt to prevent forgery but these methods keep getting challenged by an ever more sophisticated criminal element. Moving into cryptographically secure methods is the last barrier here.

They could also rely on the state to match identities to tickets, but this approach does not scale and is frankly undesirable for the majority of people anyway.


More than one million of young people have been sent to the front line and Russia and Ukraine haven't collapse. But somehow Trump posting memes will collapse the US.

Which one? If you mean Iran, "100s of" seems like a weird understatement.

what numbers can you trust? i mean, you can trust whatever suits you, but *i* don't trust, really, any of the things i hear about the global bad guys, particularly iran when america is making war on them or building a case for war.

How about start with the number that the regime itself admits to; namely, thousands of protestors killed.

They physically moved 300 tons of gold from the US to Germany during 2013~2017. I think actions weight more than words.

Actions don't happen in a vacuum, you have to take context into consideration

If you buy $100,000 of RAM and just hoard them, and a shortage happens, you won't update their value according to their market price, until you sell them.

That's it. It has nothing to do with whether your RAM is stored in New York or Paris.


You treat your brokerage account this way? I'm sure that the retirement funds don't.

If you're a retail business that sells RAM then yes, this is the way.

If you're a fund that holds RAM in some indirect manner (like you hold hypothetical RAM futures) then it depends on whether your country's laws ask for market-to-market value for that specific kind of security.


France didn't pay taxes on the gold, so it didn't keep it "on the books" at decades-old prices. It tracked the real-time value.

However, that doesn't mean there isn't profit possible, even over a supposedly super-liquid asset like gold.


This is highly unpopular... on HN. Which heuristically implies it's popular in the real world.

The funny thing is that Joel Spolsky predicted most of it 20 years ago[0]:

>> Jon Udell found a slide from Microsoft labelled “How Do I Pick Between Windows Forms and Avalon?” and asks, “Why do I have to pick between Windows Forms and Avalon?” A good question, and one to which he finds no great answer.

And:

>> Which means, suddenly, Microsoft’s API doesn’t matter so much. Web applications don’t require Windows.

What he didn't see is, however, Azure would become the money printer for Microsoft and made all these no longer matter.
