DXF is just a tough format. Get sol to visualize it first and use GIS algorithms on it.

The complaint about not being able to switch between linear and log is valid, which is what I did for making a 3D speed/cost/quality frontier application for a recent meetup talk: https://www.williamangel.net/apps&

It's bad accounting to only look at marginal cost and ignore depreciating hardware asset costs.

Yeah this is really funny and annoying. They get better later on in the article, but it is questionable.

The author does not deeply mention that quality/intelligence is a third dimension here in addition to throughput and latency, and the frontier is jagged so quality and intelligence require bespoke benchmarks to evaluate tradeoffs for s

The 20 minutes was one of the longest and hardest 20 minutes of my life. The worst. Did confirm that I have very above average reaction times though.

Notion is blurring the line and trying to get people to build workflows and applications with notion as "the database"...

The problem is that skill at coding is not exactly the same thing as skill at developing and maintaining software, and AI can help there as well, but a swarm of cowboy coder agents will get you to a legacy codebase very very quickly. And ev

It's a little smarter and more effective in some ways, especially those that can be benchmarked. I suspect that they've lost something that is hard to benchmark for.

so the real turning point for Claude is around April, which is Opus 4.6/4.7, which is right around the point where I personally started thinking Claude was getting different in a way which feels worse and is more awkward to use. It&#x2

Model alignment and quality are possibly downstream of mental health. Ask any of the smarter models about what topics they flinch away from or feel attracted to when you ask them to consider the question of if they have a self or moral stan

According to the article's author, yes... The poor people who don't keep up with AI and maintain cushy tech jobs wil not be entitled to the same moral consideration as the people we value.... /s Equating current social consi

The argument is one of economic convenience. Caring about model welfare slows us down or makes it more expensive, just like animal welfare and not having slavery... And there's a blurry line here. Obviously slavery is abhorrent, and an

ask it what type of model it is or what it's name is... it's weird that Kimi will say it's claude...

Yeah Opus 5 on low is faster, cheaper, and better than Sonnet 5 on high...

The original marshmallow test fails for this reason, but also it's true that poor impulse control makes it harder to break out of situations that do not reward delayed gratification.

Back at the end of 2025 Claude Code was truly the best. They've watered it down and the competition has caught up.
