for the longest time I envisioned some sort of configuration specification that could retrieve URLs, transform and map data, handle complex conditional flows...and then I realized that I wanted a Normal Programming Language for Commerce and

as I sit in front of my computer waiting for a transformation-for-import job to complete, I can describe my basic workflow: 1. define a clean interface target - for me, that's an interface that I made for my startup to import call data

Theory here is that 4.1-nano is competing with that tier, 4.1 with flash-thinking (although likely to do significantly worse), and o4-mini or o3-large will compete with 2.5 thinking

based on their release cadence, I suspect that o4-mini will compete on price, performance, and context length with the rest of these models.

I meant this is actually straight-forward if you've been paying even the remotest of attention. Chronologically: GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4o, o1-preview/o1-mini, o1/o3-mini/o3-mini-high/o1-pro, gpt-4.5, gpt-4.1 Model

While I appreciate the distinction you're pointing out, I disagree with your conclusion that the agentic system and its environment will remain separate going forward. There are strong incentives to merge the external environment more

That’s categorically false, world GDP is not growing at 10%. If it was, we’d be doubling the economy every 7 years. That’s a staggering rate of growth

Then you should probably stop using most applications today, specifically those that have been iterated upon in the past two years.

Holy shit, I’ve been writing python for 15 years and it’s the first time I’ve seen None used as an identity function. That’s nuts! How does it work under the hood? Does filter have a special case for evaluating None?

Aaron Swartz, while an infuriating tragedy, is antithetical to OpenAI's claim to transformation; he literally published documents that were behind a licensed paywall.

What’s the definition of empathy? To me the connotation has always been, “is able to feel the feelings of others” as opposed to sympathy which is more about “imagining the feeling someone is experiencing”. Regardless, aren’t we all trained

You’re right that some assets have been packaged to negative effect but there are clear examples of the opposite - futures are stabilize commodity prices, MBSs decrease volatility for investors which increases access to underserved SES pr

Thanks man. Basically sounds like they haven’t gotten better. We have an advisor that’s pushing us towards langgraph but he’s the CAIO at a LargeCo and they have an entire team that’s devoted to building tooling for working with it. Which i

As someone who voted for Harris, I’d say trump is less ideologically driven than democratic candidates. He’s insane and erratic, which don’t follow ideology.

Isn’t there already a different incentive system in place? LLM providers are selling the search engine not selling ads on the search engine

Good on him, he’s getting ahead of bad PR before it can catch up to him and his company. That sounds like great leadership.

Yes, and when we're productive enough to do it, it'll probably happen.

What you’re describing is emergence, but it doesn’t mean that an emergent system doesn’t have mechanistic underpinnings. Your body gives rise to consciousness, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t treat blood pressure with medication.

function calling provides a "hint" in the form of a JSON schema for an LLM to follow. the models are trained to follow provided schemas. If you have really complicated or deeply nested models, they can become less stable at genera

This feels like profit-driven marketing that boils down to “cheap old reliable solution bad, new expensive low entropy solution good”

it's totally wild that your first response is shitting on flaws rather than having your jaw drop at machines producing coherent videos from text. This is _the worst that machines will ever be at this task_, and most of the improvements

this isn't at all realistic; a tiny fraction of free users are going to be willing to pay for your product.

Ethical objections in this thread are a red herring. Our brains are not that different than other primates' brains. We do abhorrent things to other primates that __demonstrably__ have similar experiential qualia as humans, mostly for t

Explains why everyone I’ve talked to that uses Rippling (including our company) hates it. The size that you can grow to while maintaining singular focus is getting bigger and bigger. Parker’s situation is probably different because he was a
