Confidently incorrect. As others have mentioned it is shutdown.

I looked at the website, and I still don't understand the purpose.

What does it mean "closer to chrome"?

Too bad this requires a Premium subscription, can't use this without one.

That's not a counterpoint.

In other words Uber did not bribe the politicians enough in their favor, market was not favorable for them, so they exited.

How so?

Can anyone shed some light why GitHub is having so many problems lately?

I don't know, my colleague refuses to use AI and I've been seeing more bugs from their side, while reducing bugs on my side with the help of AI.

That said if companies want to "ship ship ship fast", then yes even AI can produce bugs or regressions if not carefully reviewed by the human.

His "AI" company is about weaponizing deepfakes. This guy is nuts and should be banned from HN.

Same here, I haven't had beef in over 2 years now. Chicken and pork only now, mostly chicken, like 90% chicken is all I eat now. Insane.

US AI companies are already sweating and 100% pressuring the Trump administration for more anti-Chinese regulation, since there have already been talk of Trump considering banning Chinese models. There's however another push back from the startup industry urging them not to ban it, since it will stifle the innovation. In other recent news OpenAI also greatly cut their model prices, 20% for 5.6 Terra and 80% for 5.6 Luna, to stay competitive.

That's why Citizens United is a sham. Corporations are NOT people. If they were, they would see more consequences. But no one ever does.

I truly hope you get this resolved if it is at all salvageable. The more stories I hear like this the less I am inclined to do any kind of backups with these companies because they are notorious for not giving a single fuck.

I'm curious, who is actually making the calls and who is actually doing the scouting for these people. If this is coordinated, the chain must long, so let's see it!

I don't know about Cursor or other outlets, but I use GPT 5.4 exclusively in Windsurf (Sorry, Devin!), and it's a very capable model that doesn't break the bank!.

Clickbait title, because running local models is still not good now.

Related, someone posted this on Reddit, so I'm quoting:

>If his companies were valued properly, Elon would be worth only $50 billion

>Currently:

>Tesla stake: he owns 20% of a company valued at 388x profit = $304B

>SpaceX stake: he owns 42% of a company valued at 112x revenue = $882B (had to switch to revenue because SpaceX has no profit)

>Twitter/Xai/cash (owns all of it): $33B

>304+882+33 = $1.2T

>Real valuations:

>Tesla: value it at 11x profit like Ford and his ownership stake is worth $8.6B

>SpaceX: value it at 1.7x revenue like Boeing and his stake is worth $13.3B

>Twitter/Xai/cash: $33B

>8.6+13.3+33 = $54.9B
