OP here, thanks for this feedback, my workflow was to first have a draft and then feed it into a LLM to fix grammar and improve conciseness. Wished there was a tool (I think folks are already working on) that is similar to what a book editor does which suggests changes as opposed to changing the styling.

If it is only to fix grammar and improve conciseness, I find grammarly quite useful. AI goes way beyond these things. Also, while making something concise, AI might make things more difficult for the readers to understand. Worse, it might write something that is totally wrong.

Roger Ebert writing style was so polished. I wish I could write like this. My writing tends to be quite dry to the extent that GPTzero flagged it as written by AI. The reason given was "the lack of a creative use of grammar."

On a separate note, although vastly different, Fight Club was also not very successful on the box office (domestically made losses) but became a hit on DVDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_Club)

Excellent recommendation! The top post right now is "Bitcoin just hit $66,000. Strong support at $0."

Another day, another hn thread of "this model changes everything" followed immediately by a reply stating "actually I have the literal opposite experience and find competitor's model is the best" repeated until it's time to start the next day's thread.

This pretty accurately summarizes all the long discussions about AI models on HN.

> Yeah but again that’s all here on HN.

No, it’s not. I have just told you it’s not. Which is anecdotal, but also true. Do you not frequent other websites with nerds other than HN?

> I have plenty of friends who are not on HN and I haven’t heard anyone ever complain about these things.

Is your personal experience the only valid one? Are your friends the epitome of diversity of opinions? I don’t have any friends who are white supremacists, does that mean white supremacists don’t exist? Because I’m pretty sure they do, even in my country. All of us live in bubbles to an extent, you have simply bumped into another boundary of yours.

Do a web search for Apple Wallet F1. Do you think all those people are on HN? They’re certainly complaining outside of it.

I searched for "Apple Wallet F1" and all the search results were literally from tech review websites. One was from Apple subreddit. That just goes on to show how such discontent is largely in a small but vocal community. The everyday consumer doesn't care about these things.

Btw, I was sharing my anecdote as you had done it. I of course know my experiences are not generalizable.

The important bit is “trading net profits for user happiness”. Non-tech-savvy users aren’t complaining about Apple’s margins for apps, but about the things Apple is doing to degrade their experience in the name of profit. Namely excessive ads on the App Store, on System Settings, and on Apple Apps themselves such as Music and Wallet (F1).

Yeah but again that’s all here on HN. I have plenty of friends who are not on HN and I haven’t heard anyone ever complain about these things.

I have heard a few analysts mentioning that software stocks are under the threat of AI. Apparently now anyone can build enterprise software in their pajamas using AI. To the extent that this ridiculous reasoning is driving the stocks down, I think it presents a good buying opportunity. But one has to wait until the bleeding slows down a bit.

Hard to imagine it being profitable given the very low utilization of the production line and associated tooling.

malshe · 13 days ago

I agree. I am quite confident that if someone challenges them on this claim, they will say it was non-GAAP gross margin, which excluded all the crucial expenses

That’s a good point. Can Tesla fail?

Seems like he’s constantly using one company to fund others, shuffling the cups and balls around claiming everything is still fine.

I could see him doing serious damage or even trashing an otherwise healthy company doing this to prop up total failures.

> Can Tesla fail?

If SpaceX buys it, it will fail upward :)

He did that with SolarCity when Tesla bought it then repeated with X when XAi bought it.
