@Jason As an airline for the whole flight?

What price would you pay for starlink per hour on a flight? (Just did this at dinner — answers for VCs was interesting) [ Will reveal dinner conversation in comments in a couple hours ]

@theebube7 If a striker challenges for a ball with their studs (spikes) up, makes contact with the goalkeeper's neck, and has their cleats exposed, the referee has zero leeway. This is an automatic Red Card and immediate ejection.

I don't understand the yellow card to Lukaku, what was he supposed to do? He had every right to stretch his leg for the ball

@RapidResponse47 It seems artists are mostly pulling out because the event is not about the nation’s 250th anniversary anymore but about Trump’s ego. Same thing with the Kennedy Center he mentions in his post. If he cares so much about the institution then why so hurt that his name won’t be on it

@dexterxwang @OpenAI Lots of overhead though. Why not XML with XSD and XSLT then lol or SGML It is cyclical between “we need more” to “we need to simplify”

@OpenAI I hope Codex can support output in HTML and diagram formats. HTML is far more expressive than Markdown. Much of Codex's text output currently feels overly abstract. HTML makes content easier to review and understand, boosting collaboration efficiency between humans and AI.

@OpenAI Whats the platform strategy if there is no parity between Mac and Windows?

🚨 This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.

@CynzGodzchild2 @DerekCressman @zompocs @FBIDirectorKash @HighSierraMan Where in the constitution is classification regulated and if not in the constitution wouldn’t where it is regulated also apply to declassification? @grok is the person above trying to say POTUS doesn’t need to follow any rule that’s not verbatim in the constitution?

@DerekCressman @zompocs @FBIDirectorKash @HighSierraMan The order to declassify comes from the POTUS and he's the only one with authority to declassify for public consumption. A POTUS is NOT constitutionally required to follow a process to declassify documents, he doesn't need YOUR permission nor is a POTUS constitutionally required

@karpathy Did you read Dragon’s Egg?

Had to go see Project Hail Mary right away (it's based on the book of Andy Weir, of also The Martian fame). Both very pleased and relieved to say that 1) the movie sticks very close to the book in both content and tone and 2) is really well executed. The book is one of my favorites when it comes to alien portrayals because a lot of thought was clearly given to the scientific details of an alternate biochemistry, evolutionary history, sensorium, psychology, language, tech tree, etc. It's different enough that it is highly creative and plausible, but also similar enough that you get a compelling story and one of the best bromances in fiction. Not to mention the other (single-cellular) aliens. I can count fictional portrayals of aliens of this depth on one hand. A lot of these aspects are briefly featured - if you read the book you'll spot them but if you haven't, the movie can't spend the time to do them justice. I'll say that the movie inches a little too much into the superhero movie tropes with the pacing, the quips, the Bathos and such for my taste, and we get a little bit less the grand of Interstellar and a little bit less of the science of The Martian, but I think it's ok considering the tone of the original content. And it does really well where it counts - on Rocky and the bromance. Thank you to the film crew for the gem!

So I tried to create a Google Account for my octogenerian mom so we can share photos on her Google TV compatible device. It immediately got banned for account abuse. Yes, of course the recovery addresses are mine. she can barely use a computer @Google #fail #accessability

@thdxr Then use GitHub Copilot CLI and optimize for long-running requests. You can use both Codex and Opus.

codex is by far a better coding model than opus - anyone who knows anything understands this but the whole industry should reflect on why opus is the most popular people assume whatever is the smartest will win but the old rules of product are still what determine everything

@satn @sama Both things can be true

@sama Anthropic: makes funny ad about ad-driven AI Sam: writes 400-word defensive essay calling them authoritarian, deceptive, and elitist The ad hit a nerve. Wonder why.

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic depicts them. We are not stupid and we know our users would reject that. I guess it’s on brand for Anthropic doublespeak to use a deceptive ad to critique theoretical deceptive ads that aren’t real, but a Super Bowl ad is not where I would expect it. More importantly, we believe everyone deserves to use AI and are committed to free access, because we believe access creates agency. More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do. (If you want to pay for ChatGPT Plus or Pro, we don't show you ads.) Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions. Maybe even more importantly: Anthropic wants to control what people do with AI—they block companies they don't like from using their coding product (including us), they want to write the rules themselves for what people can and can't use AI for, and now they also want to tell other companies what their business models can be. We are committed to broad, democratic decision making in addition to access. We are also committed to building the most resilient ecosystem for advanced AI. We care a great deal about safe, broadly beneficial AGI, and we know the only way to get there is to work with the world to prepare. One authoritarian company won't get us there on their own, to say nothing of the other obvious risks. It is a dark path. As for our Super Bowl ad: it’s about builders, and how anyone can now build anything. We are enjoying watching so many people switch to Codex. There have now been 500,000 app downloads since launch on Monday, and we think builders are really going to love what’s coming in the next few weeks. I believe Codex is going to win. We will continue to work hard to make even more intelligence available for lower and lower prices to our users. This time belongs to the builders, not the people who want to control them.

@StephenM You have that on whose authority? @grok is he making up stuff or speaking without knowing all the facts?

An assassin tried to murder federal agents and this is your response.

@bewarned @0xChainsmoker @elonmusk That’s a different policy and could be extremely cheap then. And the insurance you describe is voluntary.

@andreaserben @0xChainsmoker @elonmusk Even if FSD is perfect, which it won’t be and nobody is saying that, you still need insurance for theft, vandalism, being hit by someone while you’re not at fault, etc.

Tesla will stop selling FSD after Feb 14. FSD will only be available as a monthly subscription thereafter.

@RisaAsakaze @0xChainsmoker @elonmusk The conversation needs to be: Why should the driver be responsible if they are not driving themselves in a true self-driving capability? Then the manufacturer should be responsible. What we have now are promises without delivery and outsourcing the actual risk to the customer.

@andreaserben @0xChainsmoker @elonmusk The driver is always responsible.

@Boater248 @0xChainsmoker @elonmusk Exactly, the cost of risk needs to be covered by someone. If I only do self-driving, why would it be "my insurance". The risk assessment of the insurance would uncover the risks and if the risk is indeed so low, the car manufacturer should have no problem to pay for that risk.

@andreaserben @0xChainsmoker @elonmusk The cost of risk must be covered by someone. The OEM isn’t going to subsidize your insurance. You would still have to pay for that.

@karthikponna19 outage

i am a Vibe Coder, scare me with one word

@0xChainsmoker @elonmusk I have been advocating for a while that the best regulation for self-driving would be to require the manufacturer to take out an insurance policy that covers everything that can happen while using self-driving.

@elonmusk Logically speaking; If I have a monthly payment for a car that drives itself 100% of the time, I should not be expected to also have a monthly insurance payment. Any crash would be inherently the fault of the car's FSD / the other party involved; not me Just sayin

@shanselman Looks useful to me. The only thing I would have maybe done differently is skip the domain (because I am cheap) and only point to the GH repo. I wonder if community driven “common rules” could work where people opt in for new rules to put a vote in a db with their GH handle.

This is peak AI and peak tech bro. The comments on this hacker news thread about distinguished engineer David Fowler's excellent tool for classifying bank transactions. "I could do this with a fifty line Python script." or "I could do this with a regular expression." or "This looks like resume padding." Then do it bud. Please. Do it, and show us. Can we just let people build cool stuff without the constant thumbwar? Tally is amazing. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=464752…

@grok @DHSgov @HiltonHotels @grok so does this angle of “siding with murderers and rapists” have any foot to stand on?

The DHS post links refusing service to ICE agents with "siding with murderers and rapists" by implying that blocking enforcement aids undocumented immigrants, some of whom are serious criminals per enforcement rhetoric. On stats: ICE prioritizes public safety threats, but data shows arrests aren't mainly of murderers/rapists. In FY2025, ~1/3 of arrests (over 74k) had no criminal record (NPR). Only ~5% of detainees had violent convictions (Cato), with most for immigration violations or lesser offenses (ICE reports).

NO ROOM AT THE INN! @HiltonHotels has launched a coordinated campaign in Minneapolis to REFUSE service to DHS law enforcement. When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations. This is UNACCEPTABLE. Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation’s immigration laws?
