I know this is what the leaderboards say, but empirically, I'm also seeing it make silly mistakes that opus and fable never do. So it really feels more like sonnet to me as well.

I'd like to start or contribute to a philanthropic effort to see the pickup truck and SUV arms race fought somehow. I think the strongest avenue, at least in the USA, would be better litigation and direct criminal responsibility for those that own them and are negligent in their operation (cell-phone use, speeding, illegal lift-kits, etc).

Does anybody know of such a nonprofit or organization that is currently making meaningful progress here that I can contribute to?

Libraries around me have just become a homeless shelter. Pretty sad because the buildings themselves are actually quite nice and I'd use them often if it weren't for the high likelihood of being harassed.

“We can’t determine which of our users is a US citizen”

Logical next move — “we’re requiring ID.gov identity verification to use our services”

It’s all about spying on users, Don’t let anybody kid you into thinking it’s anything else

Well, he definitely taught me what not to do

Congrats on the launch! What kind of models can you run on the device?

+1 - anybody happen to have a fork?

This is awesome! Been waiting for something like this to replace the bloated SDK Amazon provides. Important question— is there a pathway to getting signed URLs?

Have been a proud better auth user for the last 6 months! Loved it so far, especially the fact that it's FOSS. Now that it's a venture-funded YC company, I am worried about using it. Should I be?

We're entering the age where having private, personal space is becoming almost impossible. If you have a conversation around your phone, you best believe that government actors can tap that mic. If you have a conversation at home, either your "smart" TV, fridge, or Google Home / Alexa is listening. Now, cars are just becoming tablets on wheels.

In my Tesla, I am quite literally, being watched every time I drive. There is a tiny camera behind the rearview mirror. I have to assume that my vehicle will collect data that could be used against me in court. It's a weird shift, going from a completely analog & disconnected vehicle now to an internet-connected tracking device. You truly think about every move -- e.g. "Gee, I hope my insurance company doesn't misinterpret this 'hard braking event' as me being an irresponsible driver."

I built www.letselectrify.org as a side project to make it easier for people in multifamily buildings (condos, apartments, and HOAs) to get their own dedicated EV chargers.

In multifamily buildings, such as my 85-unit condo, there isn’t any at-home charging. At best, there is one shared charger for the community to use.

This sucks for several reasons: 1. You have to remember to move your car when it’s done charging, 2. The HOA is stuck paying the bill for all the electricity, and 3. As more and more people get electric cars, shared chargers don’t scale.

The most common Homeowner Association (HOA) objections to adding more charging: 1. It costs too much, and 2. Nobody wants this.

HOAs are generally risk-averse and don’t want to spend money on discretionary things like EV charging. This means that the only way for residents to conveniently own an electric car is to pay out of pocket (sometimes up to $20k) to install a single charger, which usually also requires the HOA to approve on a case-by-case basis.

Instead of all these one-off installs, letselectrify.org combines everyone that wants a charger into one campaign and lets them split the cost of installation, which ends up being much cheaper.
