This should be an indication of how valuably xAI sees the training data that Cursor has accumulated, especially with its work on Composer 2.5. Last month, SpaceX and Cursor announced that they had been working on training a new model from s

Yak-shaving-shaming puts limits on the creativity of talented engineers by constraining them to existing patterns and practices or building on top of abstractions, and practically, that results in engineers and teams with less breadth. In a

Yes, exactly. Over the past few months I've been trying to refine the vision here - it started with me thinking about my own use case in personal AI, and now has grown into me understanding how there's actually an pervasive govern

For fun, this month I shipped Foreign Trivia - a wordle-style tiny daily trivia game where every question is in a different language, with tap-to-translate words as you play. It's part language-learning, part pattern-matching and part

I went back to the UK a few weeks ago for an old friend's wedding, and the ID verification process shocked me.

I hope the news moves this debate past "open weights vs. closed APIs" as the only axis. Open weights matter, definitely, but applied AI also needs open infrastructure around the model and it feels a bit like I'm yelling into

Thank you! I'm actually using this adversarially (or maybe just an experiment) to compare it with an open source protocol that I've already begun to publish but am having trouble getting traction or review on due to it sitting awk

I've experienced this too - it's as if the security classifiers aren't keeping up with model intelligence. I'll leave the implication of that to the reader.

This is actually kinda exciting. I threw in an open-source idea I've been playing with, and paid $25. I hope it comes back up soon or I'm going to have to put Fable on building a replacement.

Bravo. I feel like there's a kind of growth that only arrives through pain, but I wish nobody had to receive it that way. Peering through the NICU window & wondering if my child would survive was one of the most traumatizing moment

About a month ago I wrote a blog post that spoke to the rise of poor quality content as a result of agentic workflows, but it primarily focused on ethics: ending with presenting how a synthetic author named "Elias Thorne" is now r

Super neat. I'd love to see what it would be like to play with more modern &intuitive touch controls instead of just the D-pad and A/B.

I'm really worried about what happens when we mix these kind of dependency-oriented business strategies with the sensitivity of a human's personal context. With no "file format" equivalent for personal context, how do I

Does Uruky provide an API, or allow API usage such a way that I can leverage it as part of an agent workflow, or otherwise, in place of something like DuckDuckGo?

How does this relate to your privacy policy? Will you train on or sell the data that you host? Or inferences about it?

When reading this I'm reminded of Charles Petzold's 2005 article "Does Visual Studio Rot The Mind?". https://www.charlespetzold.com/etcetera/DoesVisualStudioRotT...

The "sleep" thing gives me the creeps so in my head I'm just going to think of it as the difference between "response time retrieval" and "background consolidation". I do think it points at something bigge

Given the opportunity, at the time, I would have happily taken steps to prove my presence would be of benefit. Instead, I had to spend my time asking family to give me their pension statements. Later, I was recognized for that potential ben

I think you're responding to a comparison I didn't make. My point wasn't that the US is uniquely difficult compared with the UK or Australia. My point was that legal immigration is difficult, stressful and often misunderstood

Sorry, which part of my personal experiences was nonsense? Immigration is hard, and yes, I'm aware of challenges in the UK as I moved my spouse over there in 2014. Do you have an experience with immigration that you can speak to?

I looked it up, and we were required to complete form I-864 "Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA". My wife, her grandmother, and her grandfather all needed to complete one, and when considered together, prove that t

I had 10 years of work experience and had been married to my wife for two years, together for five, when I applied for my spousal visa. We had already gone through the UK visa process to bring her there, but decided we wanted to try the USA
