GPT4 feels so much more confident when coding because it is so fast. Claude Opus is generally better for me but takes a long time to reply. It also has much lower limits and sometimes rejects medium size files (75k) as too large. I find the

He is an example of the current tech mindset. We praise and elevate anyone who makes money. Their genius is in proportion to their wealth. Suggesting they may not be smart, or brilliant, is heresy. Meanwhile those people believe their own h

There is no compelling evidence that Musk is smart. That’s not being a “hater” it’s just reality. In any timeframe there are people who rise by luck with timing and opportunity. Musk is that guy. He bet on EVs just before massive subsidies

This would be used in something like Starraker. That design can get 100 tons to orbit with a single stage much more efficiently than any rocket. Take off like a plane, climb to high altitude. Enter a supersonic dive. Pull up and ignite your

A lot of commenters seem to be Americans working from the idea trains are diesel. The majority of British trains are fully electric. This the argument is moot. Yes it’s much more efficient to move 1,000 people with one big engine than to br

So much rage here over a very simple and well understood phenomenon. It is vastly easier to consume calories than to shed them via exercise. Thus, though both are important, eating less should be the focus of weight loss not moving more, ev

I learnt to code decades ago and later studied computer science and physics. I now work in marketing more than anything (the marketing side of other things like film, tech and politics). To do that I often build websites and apps. ChatGPT i
