It is significantly less productive to hand wash dishes. But that’s fine to do manually if you wish for something that takes up maybe half an hour of your own time every several days. It’s not fine if washing dishes is your job. No company

Flagship LLM companies seem like the absolute worst possible companies to try and nationalize. 1. There would absolutely be mass resignations, especially at a company like Anthropic that has such an image (rightfully or wrongfully) of “the

On one hand, I think this project is super cool and something I would use and/or would have loved to build myself for my own use. On the other hand, it makes me wonder if we’re just heading for a future where everyone is just always wo

Sticking to the magnetile theme of the OP, my kids and I have spent the most time and most occasions playing with the mangetile marble run kits. It works so well.

The difference is ISPs usually have monopoly/duopoly pricing power and LLMs already have freely available open source models. If one AI company decides they want to start gouging, they have to compete with other providers AND open sour

Only ~14% of respondents had <=5 years of dev experience. And 55% were >10 years dev experience. One thing I did find funny though was this survey found that devs overwhelmingly visit stackoverflow aka the site that puts the survey ou

I was confused when reading the abstract so I ChatGPT’d a summary and it just so happened to include this exact explanation: 1. What does a “critical regime” mean? In neuroscience, a “critical regime” is like a sweet spot between too much o

Made a “machine learning movie recommendation” website. It went through some relevant questions and had you select some of your favorite movies to base the recommendation off of. Then it “calculated” and finally recommended Weekend at Berni

And for reference, it takes around $10/year to run a single efficient indoor LED lightbulb. So charging a cell phone for a years-worth of usage costs less than 1/10th of running an efficient LED lightbulb bulb for the full year. A

One point missing from this comparison is that cell phones just don’t take all that much electricity to begin with. A very rough calculation is that it takes around 0.2 cents to fully charge a cell phone. You spend maybe around $1 PER YEAR

I really appreciate you taking the time to write this all out for me. I’ve read through it several times now with a couple breaks between. If I were to summarize, it’s about enjoying the process rather than the result. Much easier said than

Googling a question and finding an incorrect answer every now and then doesn’t mean that googling is useless. It means that you need to learn how to use google. Trust but verify. Use it for scenarios where you aren’t looking for it to be th

Most people do see productivity gains from using LLMs correctly. Myself included. Just because some people don’t learn how to use them correctly doesn’t mean LLMs aren’t helpful. It’s like when internet search came out and a handful of lagg

Some quick searching says openai had a headcount of 3500 employees in 2024. It also had a valuation of $150billion. Another search says $150 billion companies tend to average 10000-50000 employees. So it does seem like they’re doing more wi

I’m not sure what you’re actually trying to ask here. Are ai advancements being OVERLY hyped? Yes. That doesn’t mean there’s nothing to them, though. Are ai advancements being hyped by paid ai hype shills? My guess would be yes. Again, that

For one, you can’t debug c# code in cursor without using a hacky third party extension. Because the c# debugger is only licensed to run in official vscode instances. And only way you find out is you try to run c# and get a runtime error say

“That fact that it was a drop in the bucket for them makes it that much more outrageous, not less” I disagree. I get the point that you’re making. That they could have more easily NOT done it. But I would be a lot more ensconced if these pe

Younger generations being anti-war is a tale as old as time. Unrelated to the current “TikTok-fed generation”. Meaning TikTok isn’t making them enlightened, that’s just how younger people always are.

And in fact, currently 2.5% of the sp500 is meta. So if these guys just have 100% of their net worth in the sp500, they’d have more META than these two transactions.

Couldn’t find recent info but back in 2014, Michael McCaul’s net worth was in the hundreds of millions. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in meta stock doesn’t seem like much for someone worth 1000 times that amount over a decade ago… Markea
