I don’t know which models you guys are working with, but all of the SOTA ones I’ve tried in different configurations ended up producing mostly garbage. I find myself having to spend more time guiding the model in the right direction and fix

I think the interesting part here is not so much the IDE/coding aspect, but LLM-assisted: * requirements doc * design doc * plan doc These alone make an interesting product. Give me a thing that asks me the right, thought provoking que

I wouldn't say "starving yourself", there's no reason to believe it's different from any other diet (except it's easier to stick to). If you get enough calories, prioritize protein, do some resistance training

I'm aware, and I was hesitant to use it when the doc first prescribed it. Personally I'm not so worried about this anymore, there are days when I don't take it (either forget or wake up too late in the day) and I don't f

It's very true, but it's more difficult when you live right by the grocery store, the office has free food and snacks, and DoorDash is right there when you "need" it.

Most likely. But I had a lot of muscle mass to begin with, due to years of bodybuilding. And I still have significant muscle after the diet, despite of not touching a weight during all this time (I know I should have). People still ask me a

Just want to share my own experience since were doing it: Took Wegovy (Semaglutide) for about 6 months. Barely lost any weight, would occasionally get nauseous. Then the doc switched me to Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) + Phentermine, and holy shit

It looks great today , but if you asked someone in the 90s or even 00s they’d probably say it looks like ass. Or, like, totally wack, dude. We like it today because of the nostalgia/retro factor.

This is the direct result of regulations. As usual regulations backfire. Expect more regulations to address this, surely they won’t backfire as well.

I sometimes wonder if the concept of “intelligence” is going to benefit from a formal model the way “computation” benefited from Turing Machines. Are there classes of intelligence? Are there things that some classes can and cannot do? Is it

It’s amazing how twisted the term “anti-competitive” has become. Where anti-competitive companies push for anti-competitive regulations under the false pretense of preventing anti-competitiveness. Google is being competitive. YC is being an
