You don’t need frontier-level performance for every task. That’s why companies hire both junior and senior developers. I suspect a decent percentage of people using Fable would probably be fine with Opus. Also, the frontier can’t keep advan

You don’t need a co-founder, but doing everything yourself while you have another job will be slow. Competitors may be able to get around your patent and scale up faster than you. Having someone else also means you’re accountable to them, w

Prediction: this causes a recession in two years, right after a Democrat wins the White House, who will be blamed for it. The economy will turn around after a few years, just in time for a Republican to win and claim they fixed it. This is

Browsers on iOS may be using the same rendering engine under the hood but they make different decisions for UI or how certain features work. They can be useful if you don’t like the decisions Apple made with Safari. An example of a decision

This reminds me so much of the movie Her, where the main character’s job is to write heartfelt letters to people’s friends, family, even lovers, that they can’t be bothered to write themselves.

I’m guessing their solution is for us to be even more dependent upon oil? The issue here is that we based our entire economy around a substance that is incredibly price-volatile, run by a cartel, and is plentiful mostly in places that are u

I always thought the show Person of Interest had an interesting premise: can you program a computer to have morals? Perhaps you can, but it’s just as easy for someone else to program it NOT to have morals, in which case your very moral comp

I think the only way discovering aliens will end well for them or us is if they’re equal to us in intelligence and military capability.

If it is illegal, I don’t know who will actually enforce the law. Certainly not the DOJ and most likely not the Supreme Court either. But it’s an empty promise anyway. Once they’ve got what they want they’re not going to pay out.

People put things out there for free and the AI companies used that data to replace them. I do wonder if the end result of that is that people will stop putting things out there for free. Open-source development was already a pretty thankle

It would be great if they could use the LiDAR scanner to sign a depth map of the scene in front of the camera. It would show if you photographed a flat image.

In the UK they passed laws a few decades ago allowing people to be surveilled, called RIPA. It was marketed as something necessary to catch terrorists and major criminals, that would only be used for those purposes. Within a few years local

The free tier is very generous and it’s only $300, no subscription. Those Fable credits would cost a lot more than that. You’d spend thousands of dollars to save $300. Moreover, not everyone wants to have the hassle of building and maintain

The franchising itself isn’t the problem - it’s a valid way for a company to scale up a service. The issue is that they’re rolling it out before Tesla’s self-driving software has been proven to be safe. And there are questions about whether

I actually prefer the swiping apps. As a man I’m expected to make the first move and on apps like OkC it’s easy to waste a lot of time and effort messaging people who are not at all interested in me. The swiping is a signal that there is at

I understand this logic, but voting third-party should be reserved for democracies that are healthier than the US’s. When the only choice is a flawed but sane person or an extremist, a third-party vote is effectively a vote for the extremis
