<p>Does performance not matter?<p>What if your AI uses an O(n) algorithm in a function when an O(log n) implementation exists? The output would still be "correct"</p>

<p>Generative video is insanely expensive and OpenAI is burning through money. They need to use the compute on things that they actually might make money on - like enterprise Codex usage.<p>OpenAI is bleeding money faster than they can afford to and they are literally running out of people that they can go to for more. They need to stop the bleeding.</p>

<p>Here's the thing: NOTHING we do in the US matters when various Southeast Asian countries are rapidly industrializing. And in the rapid growth phase sustainability and clean energy is not a priority.<p>Then there's a billion and a half people in Africa, also rapidly growing, that may be next.</p>

<p>There's literally nothing that can be done about it. The people with actual ability to make a change don't care.<p>We're going to have to figure out how to adapt to it. Expect many of the things you love now (seafood, coffee, etc) to be gone within your lifetime.</p>

<p>I agree with this basically 100%.<p>> Say no by default — every feature has a hidden cost: complexity, maintenance, edge cases<p>AI-assisted development is blowing up this long-standing axiom in the software development world, and I am afraid it's a terrible thing.<p>Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.</p>

<p>It's an incredible value but a world of resource-hungry vibe-coded webapps and 8GB of RAM just does not feel compatible.<p>If you primarily use native Apple apps though this thing is awesome. $499 with student discount? This thing is going to do NUMBERS.</p>

<p>I love Raycast. I would probably be called a "power user" - I use it all day long and have a fairly sophisticated and customized configuration and set of workflows. Raycast is actually one of the primary things keeping me on MacOS these days (please release a Linux version!).<p>I am worried this is the start of them trying to diversify their product offering because revenue has stalled in the core Raycast product and VC demands more returns. I don't want to be jaded, but history teaches me to be. Here's hoping that Raycast itself is still a focus for the company.</p>

<p>Mobile app is pretty good, my biggest complaint is it won't sync in the background. It only syncs when you open it up. But it's well designed and fully functional.</p>

<p>Actual reason: there's far more training data available for electron apps than native apps.<p>And despite what Anthropic and OpenAI want you to think, these LLMs are not AGI. They cannot invent something new. They are only as good as the training data.</p>

<p>Per GitHub's TOS, you must be 13 years old to use the service. Since this agent is only two weeks old, it must close the account as it's in violation of the TOS. :)<p><a href="https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service" rel="nofollow">https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...</a><p>In all seriousness though, this represents a bigger issue: Can autonomous agents enter into legal contracts? By signing up for a GitHub account you agreed to the terms of service - a legal contract. Can an agent do that?</p>

<p>Really struggling to figure out what this is at a glance. Buried in the text is this line which I think is the tl;dr:<p>"As a result, every change can now be traced back not only to a diff, but to the reasoning that produced it."<p>This is a good idea, but I just don't see how you build an entire platform around this. This feels like a <i>feature</i> that should be added to GitHub. Something to see in the existing PR workflow. Why do I want to go to a separate developer platform to look at this information?</p>
