This model is great at long horizon tasks, and Codex now has heartbeats, so it can keep checking on things. Give it your hardest problem that would take hours with verifiable constraints, you will see how good this is:)

*I work at OAI.

As if 3 different preview versions of the same model is not confusing enough, the last two dates are 05-06 and 06-05. They could have held off for a day:)

>> and comp was reasonable

there's no way you guys would get the same comp though? like not even close. MSFT irrespective of how much it wants you is not going to honor the 10X increase in valuation from the upcoming $90 billion valuation.

Even if they do, you will miss on the upside. MSFT stock is not going to 10X but OpenAI's might.

I guess B2B kind of makes sense. Like most companies data is already on their cloud, so a wrapper to answer questions on their data seems pretty useful. But I see that they want this to be company's knowledge base chatbot which kind of doesn't make sense given most companies use MSFT/GOOGL products for conversations + knowledge management?

Hey! Thanks for trying and Sorry it didn't work for you. I had to either build in vaccum with a lot of guessed training data or release a reasonably working tool, so i opted for later.

Things will definitely improve over time, names and tickers should at least give you a chart though! would love to know your prompts either here or email me at venk at stonks dot news

Thanks for trying and Sorry! It's super early, what works great:

* Screener type queries * Charting(prices, volumes), single company or comparing multiple * Insider transactions from any company * heatmap or top movers today * Earnings data for a certain year and quarter.

There's a bunch of things that also work, but overall we have a long way to go! Please do sign up so we could update you on the next set of features

Thank you! I initially had a single line, but on mobile it was very awkward to edit text and considering there's no app, figured its easier to have elongated text. Also, adding support for longer queries, essentially like if you have a hypothesis, you could validate it a bit using this tool!

However, when I type into the box after that, that message changes on each keyDown.

thanks for flagging, will fix it soon!

We do have backtests that run over a long period of time to check the effects of the big changes that were introduced.

Source: I work at Meta.

I work here and wasn't affected. But that's how I saw the severance. Anyone who doesn't have visa issues could literally pursue their ideas for the next 6 months.

Hello HN! A while ago, I built a tool to show the top 100 stocks discussed on Wallstreetbets and posted here. That went on the front page and gave me motivation to build more of these stock market analytical tools.

I know there are too many out there, but I plan to build things I would use myself. As part of this, a friend and I created this tool to answer questions like "What If I Invested in GME in 2019 etc". You can use this tool to check historical returns for any stock in the last 20 years.

Also taking requests for any stock analytical tools you think are missing in the market, we are happy to build it for you :)

Sorry about your situation. I would suggest doing two things. 1. Build a github profile. Do some interesting side projects that shows you can code. They don't have to super complex, small scripts that are useful or a CRUD web app is fine. 2. Make a linkedin account, add a bunch of recruiters, people from FAANG and start ups, start sharing your side projects on linkedin.

Do cold reach outs to recruiters on LinkedIn. This is all a lot of work obviously, but it will work. Don't worry about college degrees, no one really cares tbh. Good Luck!
