I've found its less lazy, and it just surprised me by putting "# ... Steps to deploy to your specific hosting environment - see below" which I thought was being lazy, but then it produced a whole block of text asking me quest

I've been using mixtral on Together.ai for this reason. The model isn't being randomly updated, and you choose its temperature and output length, they can't even set a system prompt to mess it up with. It's consistently

The naming on iPhones and Macbooks is terrible, and confusing now that the M3 Pro offers quite different CPU and bandwidth limits compared to M2 Pro...

Postgres is enough as long as you have a good multi-tenant setup e.g. a separate database per customer. Ran a single postgres instance with multi-tenant SaaS product that crossed 4B records in a few tables, even with partitions and all the

VC's have sky high hopes of AI. Why? Because they have absolutely lost it in the Crypto / Web3 / NFT / Micro mobility / Office as a Service sectors. If they want their 100x growth, they are pretty much all in on AI,

I live in Florida and found Starlink worked mostly fine in a rain storm (occasional disconnects). This is using their newer portable receiver though, which one did you use?

Damn this isn't a name I haven't heard in a decade. Left PC repair in 2012, but always loved this tool, made dealing with really busted Windows installs tolerable.

The year is 2030, my boss asks ChatGPT to do my job. Result: function doJob() { // put the code to do your job here } He tweaks the prompt 42 times hoping to get a good result. He looks up the latest in LLMs, Oogabooga, suplex pro

The OpenAI subreddit is the epitome of this. For months people posting that GPT4 is not performing well, its short in its responses and the change to 'one chat to rule them all' where it will generate images and search Bing was a

So the company getting hacked isn't to blame? Thats like blaming your employer if the background check company gets hacked. Companies have standards, they use other companies to assess those standards, the blame is on those companies w

Yeah, iRobot seems to have entered mega-corp death spiral, terrible year on year "improvements". Looking at their $1400 option it appears about on par with $900 Roborock. My Roborock S7 is light years ahead of my girlfriends iRob

I don't entirely agree with going after SaaS as an addictive "thing". SaaS solved the issue of: I want continually improved and supported software, but I don't want to pay $5000 (or whatever fee makes sense) upfront for

Adam Connover interviewed the chair of the FTC, and it was a pretty good pod cast episode. The key insight I took away was, the FTC doesn't want to approve M&A from large cap corporations, period. https://www.youtube.com

Theres a few reasons: 1. Even if you have a well run meeting, you should record it and transcribe it for searchability. 2. Ever worked with a third party? They probably suck at meetings, no matter how organized you are it won't matter.

It seems at this point a US strike on Iran drone production is inevitable. They are being used in every front that the US cares about, and now being used to kill US troops. America really missed the mark on drones, our anti-drone weaponry i

Unfortunately immigration law is full of quack attorneys who abuse immigrants. If you feel you were unfairly treated or scammed, you should report your lawyer to their local Bar organization. Most will take it very seriously - especially in

It really does, and their implementation is an actual racket. The best example is that you cannot install Chrome through the app store on MacOS. In its place? A bunch of garbage apps that people install thinking they're Chrome. So much

Kind of, ChatBot Arena was updated on Dec 7th, so hard to know for sure if Bard is just fine tuned against it. That being said Chatbot Arena is a pretty wide variety of test scenarios. If fine tuning made the model perfect, all the small mo

Do you even use Apple products? My M1 MBP disconnects from my Airpods and track pad every few hours until I reboot (then it works fine for a few days). Dozens of threads on this. All Apple products being used. You have to install Chrome fro

Not to mention, you cannot install Chrome on a non iOS device via the app store. It has to be done via Safari. So every time you see a Chrome MacOS user, they actually have successfully navigated the tReAcHeRoUs waters of gasp downloading

Apple, the brave savior of cell phones. Nobody has installed an app, yet alone a stable one, prior to Apple. My Windows desktop currently is on fire in the corner of my office. I try to dial 911 on my crappy Android phone but alas, it a bug
