The problem with these benchmarks is that the Chinese models tend to be incredible on paper, and absolutely terrible in practice :/

> In the UK you get thrown in prison for making a slightly unfriendly tweet.

Do you? The closest thing I can think about is how someone was jailed for encouraging arson attacks on asylum hotels. I'd be extremely surprised if the US had zero cases of somebody receiving a police visit after threatening to kill the President or bomb a school or something...

(FWIW I do think the UK needs stronger free speech protections, but saying that you'll be immediately jailed for writing unfriendly tweets is a huge stretch)

Would be more impressive if the safeguards weren't so trigger-happy!

New comment by JustSkyfall in "Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce"

JustSkyfall — Thu, 07 May 2026 21:00:46 +0000

It's interesting how every time there's a layoff, the blog post always has a title like "Preparing for what's next" or "An update on our workforce" or "Getting ready for the agentic era"!

I mean, considering that it's been 13 years since the release, I think they did pretty well!

New comment by JustSkyfall in "Launch HN: Didit (YC W26) – Stripe for Identity Verification"

JustSkyfall — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 20:16:24 +0000

This is really cool (especially considering that the pricing is way better than Persona/Stripe Identity)!

That being said, what security measures does Didit take, and has it gone through e.g. auditing or SOC 2?

Rails 8 is surprisingly good nowadays. It absolutely still has its share of problems (e.g. Bundler being slow, the frontend story being crappy without Inertia, lack of types which is a biggie, memory) but it is still a fantastic framework imo.

New comment by JustSkyfall in "Good Riddance, 4o"

JustSkyfall — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:49:01 +0000

And I agree! It's something I touch upon halfway iirc, but their suffering shouldn't be something to laugh at or mock. It's genuinely upsetting to see to be honest.

At the same time though, I don't think it's healthy to let them go on with 4o either (especially since new users can start chatting with it)

New comment by JustSkyfall in "Good Riddance, 4o"

JustSkyfall — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:37:06 +0000

People are not happy with this because 4o, at least from what I've heard, seems to be much more willing to go down the relationship/friend path than 5.2 and Claude and the like.
