It’s an insane idea that Musk needed to boost SpaceX value. It’s not feasible in the near future, there are latency constraints, power constraints (both to ship the materials to space as well as run and cool them), and maintenance concerns.

This tells me you are likely from North America? Credit Card usage is really different between those regions. While I lived in EU, I rarely used credit cards (even paying online works with debit cards). But in Canada/US, I almost exclu

I'm not sure if that's really an Anthropic problem you're pointing to vs a problem that their infra layer handles (Amazon, Google, whatever hyperscaler). i.e, they might be scaling quickly but they are running on top of estab

I'm assuming that the reason I didn't have good success rate is because it was not scanned documents, but photographs, and lighting conditions weren't always ideal. I think scanned business documents are a happy-case scenario

Ask your LLM to 'write like a phishing email' to have it seem more human. I'm actually curious if this works, haven't tried but I assume it would.

Yes, lol

I do not believe this story, because of the message I just posted above. That's not really productive lol, I'm glad it worked for you but these models are non-deterministic and 'YMMV' very much applies everywhere. I had

Recently I tied OCR with Opus 4.8. (I know, not technically right tool for the job). All I needed to do was extract dates from receipts. It got about 20% of the dates wrong yet rated all as “high confidence”. Should have probably tried a mo

True, but it's effectively a 'new' market segment when it was introduced and thus demand was less predictable.

That’s a new product line. Should have clarified but I meant mostly their existing product lines and specifically iPhone

This assumes that the people in charge for public policy understand the technology beyond the marketing. Which I don’t think is this case based on the track record of policymakers when it comes to essentially any technology.

I understood this as a “the next generation will cost more”. By now I am sure apple can fairly accurately predict device sales for each season and so they likely have a decent backlog for the current generation, procured at reasonable cost

Ohh, I thought it was in their earlier videos. I did not see they released one today lol, my bad!

LTT was only speculating, they did not know the actual price as far as I remember. (They had a video doing some educated guesses, or maybe a WAN show, can’t exactly recall). No doubt the price was lower before this hardware shortage, but th

Hope the Frame is available for pre-order soon as well! I know I’m going to pay more than the HW was worth a year ago because of “AI”, but I’m really looking forward to that one.

It’s definitely a sarcastic comment lol.

Agreed on “finding meta” as just being part of any game. But thinking games are more restrictive than chess might just be a lack of exposure to competitive gaming.

by Insanity 4mo ago
Yeah, I think the rules for motorcycles are also less stringent in Canada than in EU. And road conditions often not great. Of course the 6 months of winter in Toronto also make it less appealing to drive a motorcycle.

I briefly entertained flying planes as a hobby. I live next to a small-ish local airfield and a coworker of mine got his license there. Then I learned more about it, and there's way to many accidents like these for me to be comfortable

Yeah this is a case of “not the right tool for the job”. It is awesome though.

I doubt many of the newer generation ever even tried. Maybe they had a course at uni where they did some C or Assembly, but that's probably the extend of it. So no, I don't think so lol.

I honestly don't think that matters for multiple reasons: 1. There are already multiple "sota" models on the market that compete with only marginal gains between them (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google/Gemini) and some that are

by Insanity 4mo ago
Yup, and they have the Apple partnership for now as well. Much better position generally than OpenAI in my opinion.

by Insanity 4mo ago
If I had to make a guess, money played a role lol.
206.
by Insanity 4mo ago
Don't think it matters in the long run to be honest. The models have no moat, they are becoming a commodity. Besides that, Google is in a pretty good position, they're not bleeding money on AI like Anthropic/OpenAI, and they

If you count Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, almost any fiction book with a philosophical angle would fit that description. Or even books like “The Phoenix(/Unicorn) Project”.

Thanks for sharing! Fortunately have not ran into this yet but obviously YMMV.

I'm going to advocate for Zen here. https://zen-browser.app/ I've been using it for the past year or so and love using it so far. There's some bugs here and there but nothing that occurs often or breaks my wo

Heard good things about pi.dev but haven’t tried it. It might take care of some of those missing features you mentioned.
