Heh the woes of a hosted language! I've always been interested in svelte, but it's incompatibility with ClojureScript always made it a non starter for me. If you haven't given shadow-cljs a try though, it's worked wonder

Hahaha excellent question. I'm a front-end developer / ClojureScript engineer by trade. When it came time to choose a backend technology, I needed one that was foolproof, had excellent support for working with vector embeddings, a

Not OP, but I also am in the same boat as him, and my logic is: 1. AI accelerating inequality does not mean that it won't have it's benefits 2. Being anti-AI will not stop it from happening. For better or for worse this train has

When I started indie hacking, I looked around for how to grow an audience. Tried to model what various successful posters were doing, which lasted about a week, because turns out it’s like a full time job. References, spreadsheets, scheduli

Personally I think that’s a stretch, but I’ll admit it’s a possibility. I’m not claiming to have the answers on this subject, just trying to objectify the premise put forth by the OP. You make a good point though! There are definitely a non

I’m not going to pretend to have an answer to that question, it’s above my pay grade. But I would be comfortable pushing back on the idea that we should structure and operate our medical clinics like theirs because they made scientific brea

How much societal progress has been killed from the amount of time spent watching Mr beast videos? How many potentially otherwise productive hours were wasted watching someone in ketchup? Obviously it’s not a 1:1 ratio, but it’s a valid que

Imagine that our bitter ememies invented a superior logistics tool, known as the wheel. They also invented airplanes and the concept of blitzkrieg. Should we attribute their success to the wheel, and study how it was designed, since they cl

Personally the game I’m playing (building an effective edtech company) is probably less similar to the game he is playing (running illegal lotteries targeted at children) than the game Tabacco companies play (lean heavily on branding, marke

I don’t know if they’re necessarily two different conversations - there’s a conversation to be had whether the business practices discussed would have been effective in an ethical operation. It’s entirely possible the success has nothing to

Admittedly not my most articulate, my exasperation showed through. To some extent it seems warranted as it tends to be the most effective tactic against hyperbole. Still trying to find a better solution.

What? Surely you have some area of your life you are above-average knowledgable about. Have a conversation with chatGPT about it, with whatever model, and you can see for yourself it is far from expert level. You are not "trusting data

I would say consulting with a human. Any expert who has a conversation with chatGPT about their field will verify that it is very far from expert

lol come on it’s not the exact same thing. At best this is like gagging yourself while you talk about it then engaging yourself when you say the answer. And that presupposing LLMs are thinking in, your words, exactly the same way as humans.

I know but even moving that to prototype stage this year would be amazing. I’m in no rush just excited, and very prepared to be disappointed by the time estimates PS Thanks, I was on mobile, I wouldn’t be able to have found the link

I don’t disagree that it’s non-trivial, but we’re comparing this to conciousness, intelligence, even life. Personally I think it’s apples and an orange grove, but I guess we’ll get our answer eventually. Pretty sure we’re on the path to tak

I agree with your stance - that being said there aren’t two options, one being identical or radically different. It’s not even a gradient between two choices, because there are several dimensions involved and nobody even knows what Superint

How much are you lowering the satisfaction of those users though? Sure you may end up with more cashflow, but a much smaller, less eager group of users to be promoters. The point of this is imho likely to boost the numbers as much as possib

Been working with a Clojure, Python, and Elixir codebase since the advent of LLMs. It’s shockingly bad at Clojure still, but can get halfway decent with Elixir. Claude has always been better than OpenAI at Clojure, but that’s not really say

I think it's very possible for a CEO to have a strong stance on their technology and product roadmap without it being purely marketing.

If the building of the product is contingent on the CTR, and the landing page does not mention that contingency but just says it’s being built, it is deception plain and simple. Cleverly worded gotcha deception, sure. But deception none the

I would shy away from any comparisons to a human. The right way to think about LLMs is like generative fill for text or reverse text summarization imho

Babbel kind of takes traditional textbook style learning, and adapts it quite well to technology. It's also built around really colloquial conversations, and the audio is high quality. I would say it tends to focus more on how people a
