Go Hoos good work Wadehra

App link

edit: CBN80W for an invite code


I downloaded the app but I get a "Sora is invite only" screen after logging in to my OpenAI account and asking for an invite code.


> You can sign up in-app for a push notification when access opens for your account.

You need to be in the US/Canada and wait for this notification, and when you get an invite you can start using it in the app and on sora.com. And apparently you get 4 more invite codes that you can share with anyone, e.g. Android users:

> Android users will be able to access Sora 2 via http://sora.com once you have an invite code from someone who already has access


It's wild that I have a paid account but I have to scour the Internet to find someone else with a paid account and beg them for an invite code to use the product I already paid for. Make it make sense.


One thing that would make sense is for you to not pay any more.

But if you do, that signals to the company this is all perfectly okay.


This access code is "no longer available" :(


Check the browser console. The endpoint is returning 429 for me. So it might not even be accepting codes depending on how many you try.


Do you really want a "social" app for a firehose of high-fidelity slop?


This is awesome! Very smooth. I love when people build things to solve their own problems. Hope your son and grandfather enjoy the games :)


Thanks! :) Can't let a firewall come between families.

Your sudoku (https://raunak.io/sudoku) kicksass!


you could probably write an extension to accomplish this in a couple of days with GPT-5 now


What was the incentive for companies to train juniors into seniors in the past, post job-hopping era? Curious to know if that incentive has warped in the past two decades or so as someone who's starting their career now.


Same as always?

Cheap labor. It doesn't take that much to train someone to be somewhat useful, in mmany cases. The main educators are universities and trade schools. Not companies.

And if they want more loyalty the can always provide more incentives for juniors to stay longer.

At least in my bubble it's astonishing how it's almost never worth it to stay at a company. You'd likely get overlooked for promotions and salary rises are almost insultingly low.


>> What was the incentive for companies to train juniors into seniors in the past, post job-hopping era?

You get a lot in the interim!!! I started at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture.) The annual attrition was ~20%, but they still invested over a year of training into me.

But it worked:

- They needed grunt work in early years (me, working 75hr billable weeks). Not sure how much of this is viable now given LLMs

- They had great margins on the other four years. Not sure how much of this is viable now, as margins have shrunk in the past 25yrs as there is more way competition

- They used me to train the next cohort in years 4/5

- I appreciated the training and give them 60hr billable weeks on average for five years

It was a brutal and exhausing five years but i'm forever thankful to AndersenConsulting/Accenture for the experience.


There is no incentive now because the social contract is broken and there is too much mobility. Best you can do is find a supportive boss / a company that provides training opportunities.


Companies are organisms


How does that answer the question?


Parent should be able to deduce and internalize the information they need from this analogy.


Not a huge believer in belittling an author's points, but the author makes absolutely not one objective point in this entire article. Genuinely every single thing he describes is an opinion, nothing more, nothing less. And those opinions, at that, aren't even very accurate.

AirPods becoming e-waste? Seriously? Pick a better idea to make your point, because pretty much everyone I know has had their AirPods for 2-3+ years, and even if that was _when_ they decided to move onto another, that's an _incredibly_ long amount of time to have wireless earbuds of those quality at that price point.

And as for disabling features on the Apple Watch - again, seriously? Most techie, HN'y complaint ever. There's a reason the Apple Watch and AirPods sell as well as they do - people love them.

As for awe at new features - AirPods live translation, standard iPhones being ProMotion, one of the thinnest phones ever created?

This is just a terrible opinion piece.


I'm always surprised to see people on here talk about refresh rate. I can't see it with my eyes. I even just tested based on your comment with this m3 pro. Power settings are such where on power its pro motion and on battery its 60hz. I tried scrolling this thread really fast while plugging it in and unplugging it and I could not discern a difference. I'm not saying you can't, I'm just surprised I can't, given all I hear about it.


It depends on people and their age (of eyes). None of my parents/elders (except an uncle; he's the only one who's had LASIK) could see the point of my 240Hz monitor.


I agree. It's objectively nonsense with regards to AirPods and Apple Watches in particular. Both are extremely dominant in their respective categories for many years at this point. Objectively, Apple is not alienating its "long-time customers". Someone raging about his perceived wastefulness of AirPods is out of touch with the vast majority of people.

But people love to rage and be enraged on the internet. So anyone pointing the vacuity of the enraged is downvoted and cast aside.


The average man finds the average woman more attractive than the average woman finds the average man. Replace attractive with (eye-catching/attention-grabbing/motivating/retention-boosting).


Oh, in that case, it makes sense. Also, I think men/women consume different kind of media and this is one of those "men dominated" corner of the internet. I also think due to trainig data bias - there could be some difference in quality with different subjects. So, they might be showing off their best of best.


I don’t disagree, but it does seem to fit squarely in a culture war (and or) political topic.


Cool product, but also crazy to see someone with my name in the wild. Every Raunak I've ever met has the Ronak spelling.


dang no way! we were both in boston too


How is this different than Cluely?


From what we see, Cluely is doing great at delivering direct, result-focused outcomes for individuals in on-demand scenarios when pressing specific keys combo. It seems they're doing great in the consumer space, helping people passing interviews and handling specific sales objection recently, likely very skilled at community building around that immediate, tactical assistance. (Cluely team, feel free to join the discussion!)

Our approach is more focused on the B2B sales process and partnering with companies to continuously build their collective sales intelligence over time. You could think of us less as an answer tool for an individual, and more like "product engineering for your sales motion" with realtime support as a driver. We can talk about that for hours, with Ethan, we have a solid infra/sales engineering background.

Oh, and, on a technical note, we're providing end-to-end things to say, with a P99 of 500ms, from your personal/organization intelligence, no need to press a key, that's just part of your screens captions.
