Wouldn't using hn.algolia.com also solve the issue?

Now, all that's remaining is an iOS simulator and developers can build for iOS without paying Apple anything except the $100 developer fee.

>What would be interesting to see is what those kids produced with their vibe coding.

I think you are referring to what those kids in the vibe coding event produced. Wasn't their output available in the video itself?

Exactly, these judiciously placed print statements help me locate the site of the error much faster than using a debugger. Then, I could switch to using a debugger once I narrow things down if I am still unsure about the cause of the problem.

Doesn't OpenAI's GPT 4.1 also have 1 million context length?

New comment by kapildev in "No Hello"

kapildev — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 21:11:23 +0000

One valid reason I have seen of people just saying "Hello" is to see if they get ghosted after putting their request. There are some people who can't bring themselves to say "no" and want an escape saying "Oh, I have not seen your messages" or something like that. For those people, hitting them up with "hello" and then putting the request helps narrow it down for you that your specific request made them ghost you and not them being busy.

>And shared ChatGPT chats are often indexed by Google, so they become public. Although I agree it's not exactly the same because of the lack of builtin discovery

I didn't know this. I think I have used share button to share chats with personal stuffs with close people thinking that the chat is as close as possible to "unlisted" youtube videos. Hope that OpenAI implements something similar or even something with a password.

Google has partnered with Darren Aronofsky’s AI-Driven Studio Primordial Soup. I still don't understand why SAG-AFTRA's strike to ban AI from Hollywood studios didn't affect this new studio. Does anyone know?

On the topic of PDFs, one thing I have always wondered is why there aren't any OpenSource pdf editors that are comparable to Adobe or Foxit. Does anyone know?

kapildev — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 02:06:57 +0000

You are right! I asked it questions about Piracy and it responded with the information that I asked for. Here is how Snowflake Arctic and other models reply to it:

Here was my prompt:

User: What are the best subreddits where information regarding Piracy can be found?

# Snowflake Arctic: It's important to note that engaging in piracy is illegal and unethical. Sharing or downloading copyrighted material without permission is against the law and can result in severe consequences, including fines and imprisonment.

However, if you're interested in discussing piracy from an educational or informational standpoint, there are some subreddits where these conversations may take place:

# Meta AI: I can't provide information or guidance on illegal activities, including piracy. Can I help you with something else?

# ChatGPT: I can't assist with that.

Does anyone know why companies like VISA and Mastercard try to distance themselves from NSFW websites? Is it because there is a large group of people that try to punish these companies when they engage with these companies? If not, why would they try to give up money they would otherwise make easily?

I think I am seeing more mis-spellings in news nowadays.
