I believe it’s intentionally arrogantly named to draw exactly this sort of criticism and attention.

If typesetting and a grammar mistake in one sentence were what made a book viable or not, authors would care. I've seen enough (crazy expensive) bugs that could have been caught by linters and bugs introduced through insane formatting

I don't doubt you but this life experience is so far from my own I struggle to understand what you use that much search volume for. I maybe search for 4-5 things a day (based on my one stint paying for Kagi and their usage reporting an

Using AI secretly in an interview setting where you were told the constraints excluded them or the interview required everything to be on the screen share even if they were permitted is fraudulent behavior. It’s not much different than havi

It's pretty obvious when someone's input focus changes to nothing or when their mouse leaves the screen entirely, or you could just ask to see the display settings to begin. Doesn't solve for multiple computers but it's

Adjusting for inflation, $2000 is about the same price as the first iMac, an entry level consumer PC at the time. Local AI is still pretty accessible to hobbyist level spending.

If payload size is the top concern you shouldn't be using Moment either though. Luxon and DayJS are both considerably smaller (their uncompressed size is about what Moment's compressed size is) and the date-fns library is much, mu

Tiananmen Square is simply an easy litmus test for Chinese technology and communications. Not that I am terribly invested in China admitting to their atrocities (and the US has them too, this is not really about the Chinese IMO), but it rai

I can't connect to any remote models without allowing the app to connect to the domain "syntheticco.blob.core.windows.net". Blocking this prevents any API connection from functioning. Why are you sending something to Microso

Kinda. It had to be downscaled to below 720p to get passable frame rate performance. Compared to like almost any PC with a discrete GPU or any alternative console release it had, the Switch port was a huge step down in visual quality.

They did not claim that leaderboards were useless. There’s a big difference between an embedding model leaderboard and the SWEbench leaderboard though, given that they measure completely different categories of models.

True, but if your org is super paranoid about data exfiltration you're probably not sending it to AWS either.

Expectations have also changed in various ways since "the simple days" when devs were the product managers, the implementors and testers all in one. Some things are better now, some things are worse. I used to be able to churn ou

You can also run Llama 405B and the latest (huge) DeepSeek on your own hardware and get LLMs that trade blows with Claude and ChatGPT, while being fully isolated and offline if needed.

The comment is referring to finding something to replace the Haber-Bosch Process, which is mostly fossil fuel driven, which makes most of our food itself dependent on fossil fuels.

If your position is to find fault then that’s what you will accomplish.

The code that ChatGPT and Claude will output via their chat interfaces is a night and day difference from what will be output from tools built around their APIs. You "can" get the web UI to behave similarly but it's both tedi

Hiring managers don’t have infinite time and resources, they’ll just pursue other more fruitful avenues where a DoS attack isn’t possible. This is a great way to entrench the recruiter middleman further though, because paying them a 20% cut

Unless the place has had 100% turnover in the last two years it sounds a bit dubious. Even some of the worst places to work that I know of haven’t churned through their entire development staff since ChatGPT first released.

On the Steam Hardware Survey the average gamer uses a computer with a 1080p display too. That doesn't somehow make any gaming laptop with a 2k screen sold in the last half decade a non-consumer product. For that matter the average gami

An optioned up minivan is also expensive but doesn’t cost as much as a firetruck. It’s expensive but still very much consumer hardware. A 3x4090 rig is more expensive and still consumer hardware. An H100 is not, you can buy like 7 of these
