No Fireworks for me. They invited me to test Firepass, screwed up the onboarding, charged me money (when the account was supposed to be gratis) and when I asked them to fix that after I used up my $$, they said they closed the program. After that, no emails were responded to, and we were on a person-to-person basis. Not sure what their deal is, but I'm off Fireworks.

Dang, this took me back to the Artisoft LANtastic vs Novell Netware days...

Second paragraph: "In this post, we show how to run the latest frontier-class model — Muse Spark Open, with nearly a trillion parameters..."

Still weird, and against brand, for them to lead with this particular model from that particular company. The groans are still earned.

Yes. Or roll it into a $80 service charge when you get anything else done at a Tesla service center. Like the air filters.

Hang out in that subreddit for a while… this isn’t a singular report.

And those threads get a monumentally higher number of detailed responses than any education related thread here on HN.

Are y'all gonna register a complaint for each and every instance of an LLM written or enhanced article anywhere?

It's mainstreamed. Spare the rest of us.

New comment by browningstreet in "OpenAI claims employee sent secret device information to Apple"

That's the previous action they're in court over.

Now OpenAI is saying that an ex-Apple employee sent Apple information about the device.

Tit and tat.

The allergy I have to some web browsers over others, even on iOS, makes that not a true assertion for me.

The constant hand wringing and gnashing over AI things here is remarkable. HN is like the olds complaining about how things used to be.

AI isn’t going back in the tube, and there are plenty of significant issues to discuss, but these kind of topics feel like “kids these days”.

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t ugly for others. Or will you just not allow others to have this opinion?

It’s ugly.

I could def espionage better. Does that qualify me to work at OpenAI?

That remote still sucks. I would've bought it if there was a new remote.

New Apple TV seems to make sense if you're installing a lot of new sound equipment, and love Siri.

If neither of those are true, not sure what's on offer.

It’d be nice if the AppleTV had some of these features.
