Don’t worry. By the time they grow up they’ll just ask the AI for a summary of their childhood.

My guess is Gemini Pro coming later will be 2x more, bringing it comparable to Opus’s pricing.

"Parable of the broken window", except instead of preventing the kid from throwing the rocks, they hired a someone to catch the rocks midair.

We didn't see the majority switch from Google to Duckduckgo because of ads or privacy... Being the "default" brings network effects that is hard to switch away.

Football anime doesn’t involve real people or stakes. AI can introduce a storyline, characters, etc. It won't necessarily be as popular as the real sport but I doubt the audience is zero.

For TypeVar I’d reach for a lint warning instead.

As a solo dev who picked SolidJS, yes, it is a big factor. Things like tldraw, node editors, wysiwyg editors, etc. Having to reimplement them is a huge time sink.

There's 3x more React libraries and code out there to reference. AI agents do _a lot_ better with React than, say, SolidJS. So productivity > performance is a tradeoff that many companies seem to happily take.

At least for the real life pictures, there’s no depth of field. Everything is crystal clear like it’s composited.

For $10 flat per request up to 128k tokens they’re losing money. 100 * 100k is 10m tokens. At current api pricing that’s $50 input tokens, not even accounting for output!

Just the decision of whether to allow models to invoke them has [1][2][3] different ways.

HN crowd did not like AI coding until it got better. How much of the AI hate is because of poor implementation?

So set up e2e tests and make sure it does things you said you wanted. Just like how you use a library or database. Trust, but verify. Only if it breaks do you have to peak under the covers.

Sadly people do not care about redundant and verbose code. If that was a concern, we wouldn't have 100+mb of apps, nor 5mb web app bundles. Multibillion b2b apps shipping a 10mb json file just for searching emojis and no one blinks an eye.

Equipment for any real life hobby costs money, and people are willing to pay for good equipment. Why is software so different? FOSS has made us so resistant to paying for good software. I'm not saying software has to be expensive, even $20 per major version could make a burgeoning indie industry thrive.

Supposedly Google made their own results worse to improve ad revenue. And I don't see mass migration over to Kagi or Bing.

Companies will pay OpenAI to prioritize more of their content during training. The weights for the product category will now be nudged more towards your product. Gartner Magic Quadrant for all businesses!

Go plans at $8 are getting ads too. Netflix introduced a paid plan with ads, and it is more profitable.

If someone painstakingly hand sculpted an exact replica of "David", does it make it art, or a forgery? Is hand written code to produce generative art not art?

It's difficult to pin down the line. Ultimately it's up to the individual to define them. "The relationship to art, and this kind of painting, to their work, varied with the person entirely."[1]
