I use lawand's taskbar and have found it be very good.

This is quite remarkable. Great work.

I think it is around that. I remember being startled hearing it. https://scispace.com/pdf/how-common-is-men-s-self-reported-s... Ghastly.

No it would not. Meta is an advertising company that sells ad space. More specifically, Meta is the dominant firm in the social advertising market which is an oligopoly. It is "the business", not an imagined side revenue stream.

Super interesting. Any examples in the wild of any state of the art models responding to this?

Yep def the lexical pattern piece.

Text in, text out. It's all a bunch of prompts. Use the APIs directly and avoid as many abstraction layers as possible. Everybody is figuring it out all at the same time.

Grew up in Sunderland and have spent plenty time in the Rust Belt. Sunderland's worse.

"We recruited 354 US-based participants from the online research platform Prolific and paid them $2.60 for participation (our study took approximately 13 minutes to complete)." Nah I'm good on this one. Gotta go back to Claud

An important distinction that might not be understood from scanning the headline is that "too dangerous to release" is more specifically stated as "too dangerous to open-source the full model weights", which they ended u

Opus 4, with enough context, could do most all I wanted in a single shot. More often than not, when I had a bad outcome and was frustrated I would realize that I was the problem (in giving improper direction or missing key context). I also

Opus 4 & 4.1 are still on Vertex+Bedrock @ $75/1mm out. They were used very heavily and in my subjective opinion are better than 4.5 and 4.6.

Yes that's why I said API price. I once used the API like I use my subscription and it was an eye watering bill. More than that 2 year price in... a very short amount of time. With no automations/openclaw.

by adi_kurian 7mo ago
If one is to believe the API prices are reasonable representation of non subsidized "real world pricing" (with model training being the big exception), then the models are getting cheaper over time. GPT 4.5 was $150.00 / 1M t

I must admit, the fact that the writing was well formatted and structured was an instant turn off. I did find it insightful. I would have been more willing to read it if it was one lower case run on line with typos one would expect from a p

Makes sense. Right now the subscriptions are like Uber as I remember it in NYC in 2014.

I'm not recommending we build a frictionless plane, I'm just saying it doesn't have friction.

The grammar doesn't matter. It's a total waste of time. Obviously not when writing to another human, when then it's a show of respect.

Think any platform becomes terrible over time once it hits a certain level of mass appeal. I loved Reddit and Quora in 2010.

It's okay to use the chatbot. Nothing bad will happen. --- > Yes — the universal fallback is `full-time employees`. That phrase appears in the employee-count disclosure across Oracle's filings in this run. ([Securities and Exch

Nah but I'd be happy to share it with you over DM! (If they have DMs on here?)

Pro tip for those who like risk and are traveling regularly for non timely purposes they have dynamic pricing that rewards literal last 5m. I do Amtrak for like $15-40 NYC-PHL. You have to be signed in to the app otherwise they won't g

I have a pretty insane thing where I patched the screen sharing binary and hand rolled a dummy MDN so I can have multiple profiles logged in at once on my Mac Studio. Then have screen share of diff profiles in diff "windows". Was

I think it will, in the modern AI slop era, look more legitimate when the web UI looks a) hand rolled and b) like not much time was spent on it at all. Which makes me a tad embarassed as someone who used to sell fancy websites for a living.

Claude's stock unprompted / uninspired UI code creates carbon clone components. That "jai is not a promise of perfect safety" callout box is like the em dash of FE code. The contrast, or lack thereof, makes some of the t

I'm not recommending we build a frictionless plane, I'm just saying it doesn't have friction. This is the most politely I've ever been called a libertarian.

No they don't. That is the very definition.
