I think a bit of skepticism is warranted here. Patient number 1 isn't some random guy getting the procedure and recounting it's benefits. But someone self-selected and willing from day 1, massively engaged with the company, likely

I think that used to be true, but influencers and such I believe would value some of the freedom of moving to other platforms and keep both their content and follower. Also, I think many users would now appreciate more control over the mode

And to add to my other comment, I don't think it came to mean that out of stupidity either. As far as I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, there isn't a mathematical term for an approximate tight upper bound that's based

In math that’s true, but a practitioner software engineer uses it to mean the common "tightest" upper bound we can easily prove for the case we care about (worst, amortized, average, etc.), and not the actual tightest possible bou

I really like their listed user experience goals: 1. Cross-platform engagement Create content via one platform and engage with users on other platforms. 2. Moderation choice Voluntarily opt into moderation policies that reflect the experien

For me the difference is that Android is an open-source operating system. It sold itself and differentiated itself to users, developers and phone manufacturers as an open ecosystem built on open-source foundations. Over the years, it seems

That's already what an agent is though. It's LLM invocation inside a loop where the exit condition is supposed to be some goal for the agent to have met, which you generally provide some heuristic or deterministic criteria so it c

It really wasn't clear to me. My first read was that they wanted to fact check what they heard, and were not able too. And my second read was that they were more interested in figuring out why 23 minutes and 15 seconds is the precise n

Yes you read it correctly. It's the time of the "interruption" itself. From when you stopped working on your task to when you resumed working on it. In that time away from your task you might have answered questions, worked a

The mystery seems pretty much "solved" to me. We know where that number originated from, it's from this Gallup interview with Gloria Mark. We also know the Gloria Mark paper corroborates the number: > When people did resum

Ya, the hardware is just too good, and I guess a combination of software and hardware that delivers the instant sleep/wakeup and killer battery life. But the UX of MacOS is just okay I'd say. I need to heavily customize it, adding

I guess there are two markets to consider. The market of the AI foundation models itself, will they have customers long term willing to pay a lot of money for access to the models? I think yes, there will be demand for foundational AI model

Where is the money being saved? Are you reducing the number of agents? Otherwise, it should actually cost more, before you simply had customers wait longer to speak to the next agent no? Or do you sell "support calls" so you'

You're right, and I also think LLMs have an impact. The issue is the way the market is investing they are looking for massive growth, in the multiples. That growth can't really come from trading cost. It has to come from creating

It's definitely a little strange and unruly, but one thing I like is that engineers are actually being snatched and paid highly for their know-how. Most of these founders being poached have expertise in building complex AI models and h

It's quite different, the way you model things, it's entirely different. Even though both are able to deliver highly concurrent computation. A process in Elixir has an id, state, and is sent messages to its address. The message ar

Like with most technologies of this sort, I think it's often a matter of how well does it work. But is it even ethical here to attempt to develop this? How many failed attempts does it take to refine it? If the tech can magically spawn

And no mention of the real issue, imagine having to submit your biometrics to a logged database that stores it alongside your location, the date, where you were, just to buy alcohol or enter a club. That would feel authoritarian to most, an
