Mobile view is not working on my iPhone. Scroll is messed up and the page is not properly fitting in the view.

what's wrong with that? Just ignore the post if you don't want to see it.

Build and sharing is awesome

Deep Research links to first hand sources and does a better job of summarizing them than Wikipedia.

You realize wikipedia is built on sources right?

Insider trading does offer actual insight

Putting things that are clearly not scandals damages the credibility of this site and masks the actual scandals.

Yes, but you don't represent 99% of people. Which is why your blog post was hilariously wrong.

Skimmed your comment history and you honestly just look like a huge asshole.

Sucks that people like you are on hacker news to be honest.

Have you not seen Tesla's stock price? Autopilot? Robotaxis?

(I say this as a Tesla owner who literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot. I also live in downtown austin and see Robotaxis everywhere)

Lol I've pretty much checked out of HN since the discussion here is reddit r/technology level of competence.

The idea that TSLA is failing is so completely moronic that it's astonishing.

The stock is at an all time high?

No, but it would be great if large sums of money came with financial literacy courses to save a lot of pain and suffering later down the road.

The number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and make $500k a year is insane.

The president doesn't control US courts.

Hard to take this article seriously when it gets basic facts like that wrong.

> At this rate it’s better to start a company and get aquihired vs applying and getting hired.

Then do it.

Since when did HN become like Reddit? Always negative about everything?

Feels like all the losers from Reddit have somehow migrated here.

I get that it's a UI issue that OpenAI needs to solve. But it's really interesting how we have this crazy powerful tool like LLMs and the people on "hacker news" can't be bothered to spend enough time with them to develop good workflows.

Really shows how much the quality of the HN community has changed.

skill issue.

The fact that you're using 4o and 4.1 rather than claude is already a huge mistake in itself.

> Because as it stands, the experience feels completely broken

Broken for you. Not for everyone else.

You have zero idea what you’re talking about.

Every one of these companies is using agents. they’re not relying on a single LLM call with some kind of prompt.

Great progress, but someone should still sue these companies for the years of discrimination disguised as “equity”
