Every time I picture him doing that, I laugh. It’s hard not to love that guy.

Really? Walmart does some spectacularly stupid, costly, and obnoxiously customer hostile stuff.

From what I understood, if we’re talking a single user on a mac (not batching) you’re rarely compute bound in the first place. More rows per pass is nearly free that way when cores were sitting idle anyway. If that’s wrong I would certainly

This will probably make people laugh, but I just had claude make me one. It’s simpler than jira, but it’s good enough without the 10,000 things I don’t need. I wouldn’t use it for work but it’s good enough to track my projects, note what’s

I don’t really understand this, but I hear it a lot so I know it’s just confusion on my part. I’m running little models on a laptop. I have a custom tool service made available to a simple little agent that uses the small models (I’ve used

I think it's pretty damn brilliant. I see the failure to maintain it as intended as the real shortcoming.

100%. A subscription is instant death for this. The good news is someone definitely will (or perhaps already has) done this without one.

At the start I think everyone thought the industrial revolution could be a useful historical reference. But what AI is selling is the obliteration of human knowledge work. It just isn’t informative for that.

I don't even need to touch every configuration of all the things. I just want a place I can press a row of each switch type from all the vendors.

When I have to pop in and solve a problem, I tell it I fixed it and what was wrong. Depending on the depth of its misunderstanding it could become a memory note or a readme update. I haven’t had any real issues with that approach.

I just can’t wrap my head around it. Maybe there’s a reason Netflix makes you click on the ONE user profile on the account, repeatedly, even if it feels like sheer stupidity to their users. At least it’s not costing them revenue, directly.

Meta has four different implementations of the same page to create a “page” for your business… which is required to be able to advertise on any of their services. Each one is broken, doesn’t have working error handling, and prevents you fro

And yet, still no serious fixes for any of it that aren’t just jabronis pitching overpriced and ineffective supplements.

I'm curious about the "don't use vector search" suggestion. I've done this recently for tool discovery in my own tool service, and it seems to work well, but obviously I'd like to know why that was a bad idea.

I've had the same thought pretty often, lately. I get it... I'm not a good writer. It just sucks that now people are going to assume the stuff I said isn't even me. I guess I always scored pretty low on the Turing test and ne

At some point it must just be Monopoly money.

Their "this isn't working as expected" failure mode looks very familiar, from thousands of hours of dealing with outdated (and often just bad) internet recommendations over decades. Last night the chatbot was unable to make a

Seems to me if the model and the kv cache are competing for the same pool of memory, then massively compressing the cache necessarily means more ram available for (if it fits) a larger model, no?

Those old IE versions were products of a time when Microsoft was intentionally just making shit up, baking it into their browsers, and releasing stuff like Frontpage to produce garbage, browser-favoring markup. That among various other (oft

Someone the other day was talking about there being two kinds of builders. One likes the details of doing, where the other likes the things they produce. The idea was that one likes AI and the other naturally hates it. I thought about that

$1,000 just for the case... ouch! (neat though)

I’ve had similar thoughts. As much as I’ve tried, I can’t fully imagine the unlimited wealth these people have and what it does to your brain. It’s all deeply weird, and films like the Mountainhead increasingly seem like they might be more

HomeKit Secure Video devices. Block the device's internet access at your router. Apple can't see the video, it doesn't go to Amazon or Flock, nothing counts against your iCloud storage. Easy Button option for us lazy folks.

I don't think I'm overly paranoid. I do still have a HomeKit compatible encrypted video doorbell that cannot talk to any outside vendor. Once in a while it has turned out to have been good to have. Never critical, but good to have

Most of these people just need like two or three static pages and a domain name. Same as it ever was.

I build things iteratively all the time, without anyone seeing most of it. I move things up for review and QA after I'm satisfied that I've done the things that need doing, and done them well enough for purpose. Customers aren&#

Some of these companies have increased headcount since their post-COVID cuts. Some of this has nothing to do with COVID boom numbers. Some are bailing water as fast as they can (Atlassian, et al), some are treading water and betting on futu

That seems to have been Dorsey's approach. The business has been stagnant, so cut the roster and bet big on some future returns from AI.
