Presumably you need to pay raycast once for a setup operation while you need to pay constantly for copilot. Why wouldn't you advertise for someone who makes you more money at the same time as advertising for yourself?
This is super cool, and fully agreed that dark patterns / performance issues in TurboTax are frustrating. That said, I'm probably not ready to delegate something that sensitive to AI.
What I'd love to see here is if you actually do use TurboTax, how does your final tax return differ from the vibe-coded one?
Prediction markets advertise insider trading as a feature, and enforcement of financial crimes is a racket anyway. If you know the right people, make the right campaign contributions, laws just don't apply to you.
The measurement metric is in-game steps. Unlimited reasoning between steps is fine.
This makes sense to me. Most actions have some cost associated, and as another poster stated it's not interesting to let models brute-force a solution with millions of steps.
Same thing in this case. No Utility and just as arbitrary. None of the issues with the score change.
Models do not brute force solutions in that manner. If they did, we'd wait the lifetimes of several universes before we could expect a significant result.
Regardless, since there's a x5 step cuttof, 'brute forcing with millions of steps' was never on the table.
Hi Rod, the images you have on your gallery and instagram are stunning but very low-resolution (unless I'm missing something). You mention in the article about preparing IMAX-ready photographs. Is there a way to download those full-res versions of your images?
> Is there a way to download those full-res versions of your images?
Maybe because HN is usually geared towards "programmers" rather than "artists", but asking for a (free?) download of full-res versions of a photographers photos is a bit like asking a developer who is publishing commercial desktop software for the source code of the program :)
Maybe at least ask to be able to pay for a high resolution version (not just printed), I know I'd be interested in that too!
I'd gladly pay a few bucks for a digital download of a full-res pack. I would love to use these as desktop backgrounds but the images in his gallery are ~1000px on the long end. Even if I buy a print I can't set that as my desktop background.
Maybe the only way is to screenshot the Project Hail Mary credits when it comes to streaming.

It sure sounds like you value his work at less than a dollar per image. The desktop-background market may not be something he's interested in.
> Maybe the only way is to screenshot the Project Hail Mary credits when it comes to streaming.
...and this may be the reason he's not interested in the desktop background market. You make a single sale, and the image is trivially reproduced. Doing it for pennies is not a winning proposition; prints have better margins.
If you want pretty and free nebula pictures, you can have Generative AI make as many as you like - if you want his work: you'll have to abide by his terms.
You're right, I wouldn't pay >$1/image for download.
I understand where he's coming from - even at $100/download others can make reprints and take away print sales, which is presumably where he gets most of his revenue.
I get it. It's just too bad that I won't be able to fully enjoy his body of work without spending $$$ on prints.
He sells prints. Looks like the pricing ranges around $13-172 for paper prints, per image. If your budget is a few dollars for a pack of them, you should look elsewhere.
Insider trading is corrupt and all, but can we talk about the suckers who panic-sell/buy when Trump tweets anything?
> "We have had very good and productive conversations"
This is literally all that Trump said. Why should that move markets?
If you're a long-term investor, you shouldn't care about Trump's latest Tweet, and you won't get taken advantage of by insider trading. I'm not sure who's getting rekt on this constantly and still thinks it's worth panic-selling when Trump tweets.
It moves the markets not because anyone believes his obvious lies, but rather because its a signal that he has already TACOed. The signal is that trump has publicly given up his will to continue bombing (even if he claims otherwise)
Personally, I blame the abuser over the abused. He has created an environment of extreme anxiety for many because of his words AND actions. The man is unhinged and prone to following his various whims, telegraphed or not, so, who can blame people panicking when a chaos monkey is loose in the house?
My viewpoint is that Trump ALWAYS behaves in a fashion that he BELIEVES will benefit him the most. Often times he is wrong, but short-term financial gains, he's pretty good at, so him abusing the market with BS to make a quick giant pile of cash fits him perfectly well, which makes him semi-predictable. He knows how to manipulate others into buying/selling, so that's what happens. It's the one skill he has, bullshitting guillable / fearful people.
Decentralized

^ this is a common security misconception in crypto. "We're using an HSM, they can't steal our private key." OK genius now you still have to secure the HSM.
There's no shortcut to MPC/multisig with 3+ keyholders.

The whole concept of a stablecoin seems to be based on centralised trust.
Ultimately there is some org that has the fiat bank account, that mints and redeems the coins.
Nope, that is the foundation of bad stablecoin. Trustless decentralized stablecoin like DAI exist. People just largely don't do their homework and prefer scams that lure them in with promises of 'yield'
DAI and SKY are backed in large part by USDC, so they are not truly decentralized. It is possible in theory, but nobody has successfully done it so far.
It's possible in practice: that's how DAI worked originally. It's just not very competitive where the main customer -- traders -- want a lot of liquidity and razor thin spread.
DAI made some dumb decisions for market reasons recently but it was an actual stablecoin for a long time. It worked fine, they just decided to make it worse for some reason.
