Yes, Snapchat does this. Apps absolutely have the ability to know when a screenshot is taken.

Not sure why you think anyone is suggesting that non-occluding watermarks are a gripe people have with X.

GP is saying that BS gets a pass where X would not for a user hostile action.

The amount that OpenAI resets their quotas is nuts. It's like, every 2 days I swear. Feels so fucking good. Whenever I think about switching my $200 plan back to Claude for a month I'm reminded that they still have a 5 hour usage limit, which feels so absurd now that I've used Codex for a couple of months.

Sounds like we're in agreement that a layoff can be done just fine and humanely in a group setting over Zoom.

There is nothing inhumane about announcing layoffs over Zoom though. Hell I'd prefer to be laid off in the least personal way possible because I'm a grown-ass adult who doesn't need my company to treat my like a child. Tell me and get it over with.

I consistently buy ground beef on sale for $5/pound. Looking at walmart.com right now, they are selling it for $6.44/pound. Maybe people think cooking is expensive because they, for some odd reason, are paying $5 for a half pound of ground beef.

I really want the "cooking is too expensive" crowd to show me where they're getting their cheap food. I would struggle to make a homemade burger cost as much as a McDonalds quarter pounder. Even if I used twice as much beef.

> not even a double digit percentage

That's actually crazy if that's as low as you dare guess. I would have easily guessed it was like, a fraction of a percent. 1 in 10 would be fucking nuts.

I max out my $200/month Claude plan. You are obviously just not taking advantage of it to the same level as others. Which is fine. Don't pay for something you don't need. But I would definitely take a massive productivity hit if I had 1/20th the usage.

You hate LLM writing, so you took human written words and ran them through an LLM to read it?

Hate to break it to you, but you don't hate LLM writing.

Shit, as someone who uses Zed everyday, I didn't realize what I am using is unusable.

The second China shuts down open weights is the second they lose the AI race. Nobody is going to use Chinese models if they're closed, besides hobbyists who don't have anything they care about getting stolen.

Something about your comment comes across as AI to me. I can't really place my finger on it. It's too subtle for that. It's more the vibe of your entire comment that makes me feel it.

Please, when commenting on HN, don't use AI to write your comments. You can afford to help keep this a human-centric place.

The fact that Star Wars like droids seem to be likely within our lifetime is WILD. It's crazy how normal everyone is acting about this.

The idea that AI curing cancer, heart disease, aging (you get the idea) won't be a money maker because "clinical trials" is absurd. Of course it will be. Obviously it isn't the same thing as coding agents. But a lot of money makers aren't the same things as coding agents.

Why is it relevant what those outside would say about the US? Or what those outside of any country would say about any country. The job of a country is to do what is best for it. It's better for the US to not help China develop AI that surpasses its own capabilities. It's better for China to try anyway. There are many countries inventing nothing with loud opinions. Those opinions are completely irrelevant to China or the US.

There are many reasons for a lot of things, until you overcome those reasons. That's the point of innovation. There are many reasons not to make a reusable rocket too.
