There's actually a decision model version of GPT-6 Luna... You are right to be confused though. OpenAI and their never ending naming games. https://openrouter.ai/openai/gpt-6-luna-decisions

Cool. I just wouldn't use it at all in its current form without more information on how you handle my data.

Why should users trust you?

Are you able to access the API models without verifying your organization? See if you can access all models here. https://platform.openai.com/chat/edit

Web/app interface and API access are two different access layers for the model. Everyone can use the web or app interface for accessing all models, but API access is restricted unless you provide biometric information.

What is untrue? You need to verify your identity with Persona to use GPT-5 or GPT 5.1 or a lot of other models.

"By filling the checkbox below, you consent to Persona, OpenAI’s vendor, collecting, using, and utilizing its service providers to process your biometric information to verify your identity, identify fraud, and conduct quality assurance for Persona’s platform in accordance with its Privacy Policy and OpenAI’s privacy policy. Your biometric information will be stored for no more than 1 year."

It's not just the EU. OpenAI doesn't let you use their latest models via API unless you provide your biometric information. It's all about slowly laying the foundations of a repressive dystopian world.

Nothing. They just want more control step by step. Imagine if the models were really fascinating and could do everything, they would literally act like a sovereign state.

OpenAI is literally trying to play the role of a state. Why would I involve a private company in my national ID paperwork? That's none of their business. And that should be literally every sane person's stance. Their model security is not my problem.

Ask HN: Is Figma's Quality Dropping?

ax0ar — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 12:38:16 +0000

Has anyone else noticed and grown tired of Figma’s increasing bugs and instability? Over the past six months or more, the product quality seems to have steadily declined. Performance lags are much more common, bugs seem to pop up everywhere, and the UI3 update felt like a major disappointment.

I can’t help but feel that the decline started when Figma announced its transition from Skew (their custom programming language) to TypeScript. Why might this shift have impacted performance so negatively? Could it be related to how the new codebase integrates with their existing infrastructure, or is it just growing pains from the transition?

Would love to hear if others have similar experiences and thoughts on what might be going on.

Looks like an Arc alternative, but how trustable is this? I read some comments here mentioning how electron is not very safe. Besides, it's a one man project. Can a browser be a one man business?

My U.S. citizen father applied for a green card for me as his over-18-year-old child, and the process was moving forward. However, during the sponsorship documents submission phase, I got married and updated the marital status question accordingly. After that, the process was stopped. What happens now, and what can be done?

If that moon rover roved all the moon it could rove, then the moon it roved would be the roved moon that no other moon rover could hope to rove.

Ask HN: AI Image Organizing App

ax0ar — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 14:27:54 +0000

I take lots of photos but have a very hard time organizing them. Are there any good desktop apps that solve this problem with AI? Ideally, I would like my photos to be tagged, sorted and the ability to search individuals.

I use Google and Apple Photos but I don't want to upload every single image on the cloud, so I'm looking for an alternative that works on device ideally.

ax0ar — Fri, 24 May 2024 09:00:55 +0000

Thank you for the in depth response. My real concern is seeing rough edges in fonts when you closely. That’s just a flaw that hits me too hard as a designer, and I can’t read anything on such a screen. Based on the viewing distance, screen size and ppi it’s not exactly what’s considered a retina display. I will check the reviews that show it up close and if it’s really good I might as well get one in spite of the price!

I got super hyped first when I saw all the details. I use a Boox Page and love the device. This would be a super nice addition which could act as a fully functional tablet.

But then I saw the price tag, and that it’s only 190 ppi. That killed it immediately for me. I hated the first few generations of Kindle because of the low resolution display. I think it’s unbearable in an e-ink display. And the price is a bit outrageous for what it offers..
