I agree. I was able to talk to my local SF supervisor the other day and congratulate him on his work with speed cameras and red-light cameras. He shares the same position as you: there is no constitutional right to drive one's car on p

I’m in my late thirties and it was still in common use in India, and perhaps specifically among Anglo Indians? But it meant more like “no chance”. “Can I go out to the movies with my friends?” “Nothing doing! You have an exam tomorrow” Or f

I have both an M1 Max and an M4 Max and out of habit am still on the former. The performance is still substantial enough that is quite usable.

Not if you are aiming at a general intelligence but it’s worth considering that this is a tool that may not be able to count the number of strawberries in the letter R but can still center a div.

This was an incredible demo for Claude. The runtime hosted Claude Code for months and I never saw the slightest issue. Wholly machine ported. Truly amazing.

Yeah, I prefer Rust as a language but the ecosystem and toolchain is risky. E.g. build time scripts from upstream is too risky these days and it’s commonly used. Go is a good stdlib and trivial build toolchain. You just cargo build and all

The classic whisper model will give you text in silent moments too. A lot of these guys just wrapped that. You can’t just do the minimal thing. Well I guess you can and you’ll get sales but it won’t correctly solve the problem. My cousin us

I suppose what I’m surprised by most is the degree to which the text bloviates. Rarely is it encoding a dense concept. Instead it’s a simple concept expressed with great complexity. I wonder what tuning resulted in this because the output p

This is true. A useful difference between this form of parameter optimization and the unalignability of humans is that it is possible to force constraints on these parameters. E.g. San Francisco’s speed cameras run in collection mode to obt

That just moves the decision point to “could be used by a police state”. Some people prefer humans as being the only people who can determine what a civil violation is. E.g. if a policeman doesn’t pull you over you shouldn’t be punished. Th

Most people get their moral framework from TV, movies, and memes. Hence the common refrain of “this is just like gattaca” and “have you not seen the movie X? This happens there!” And the torment nexus crap. I call this https://wi

Interstitial does not work on chrome or brave on iOS. Flagging for unreadable. If it’s because it’s a source code storage service, that’s just not an interesting function. Run your own on a cheap vps with backups to R2.

Private firms are entertainingly idiosyncratic in ways only founder-powered public firms barely approach. The other big one I find entertaining is Dr Bronner’s soap which has a massive label full of dense text that is totally stream of cons

That’s just seller financing. Apple offers it on iPhones. They give you the money to buy the phone and then you pay it monthly instead. Exists in many places. You can buy acres of land that way too.

Would love if you focus on performance. A big reason I have to have custom software is that agents can act much faster than humans but SaaS software is usually not well-designed enough to handle high RPS so rate-limits are low. I can easily

Degrowth has always been a big part of Anglophone culture. This is just the latest part of that. If you see the various parties as those downwardly mobile vs those succeeding you can automatically place people predictably into where they’ll

I just use git with a remote and a custom CI system. The whole thing is trivial to build. All these forgejo etc are kind of over complicated software. Open Office of the modern world.

Haha, that's the classic thing with platforms that have demand aggregation. They extract a lot of stuff. DTC, Telehealth, all these things end up paying Meta and Google a large fraction of their revenue. Same with Stripe et al. The ide

The obvious answer is to end free unlimited private repos. Source is no longer a specific thing. GitHub is just a free S3 or Azure provider.

These popularity contests are won and lost based on marketing content on TikTok. If the opinions of young people were relevant they'd be appropriately shifted on demand. Few of them are reasoned positions so they can be shifted one way

It seems fine. I use an LLM to argue with me prior to posting blog posts so that I don't post obvious incorrectness, but the UX element to it is that it constructs notes about various sections of the text and we talk about those. There

Amusingly both this and the opposite happen semi-frequently to us. Sometimes the maps apps have the location where people most often get dropped off and that’s superior because the signs are mechanically true but also useless (next 3 exits
