The product manager example doesn't make sense to me. Basically all that's happening is that the work of deciding is being centralized in one person instead of distributed across the team. If there are dozens of projects going on

Have they ever said what the difference is between Sonnet and Opus? Are they trained differently? Different architectures? Is Sonnet a distillation? Is it just that Sonnet has less resources for inference? None of the other labs are doing t

Not to mention that this bias is a self-fulfilling prophesy. Thanks to all the ideologues that get elected to government by insiting that government can't work, surprise, surprise, government doesn't work.

I got caught by an ALPR 20 years ago. I've been confused about 1) what is Flock's innovation 2) why are people up in arm.

The last time California Republicans had some power around 2009-12 they used it to manufacture crises and shut down the government. Since then voters have shut them out of power, including by passing 2010's Prop 25 which stripped the m

Photocopiers and printers have included anti-counterfeiting tech for decades, so there is precedent for this kind of thing. And this is addressing a real growing problem: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/s

I couldn't get chatgpt to do this, it kept telling me "Please upload the image". Maybe they fixed it already?

Using these open models really makes you realize how subsidized Anthropic and OpenAi's subscription plans are.

I don't think that's true about Ds being incapable. For example Biden's Inflation Reduction Act has been very successful at boosting clean energy industry, creating jobs, lowering emissions. Including huge benefits to red sta

As a citizen of the US I feel the same about Trump tearing everything apart so he can rule unimpeded.

I disagree, as far as transistor density it's not completely dead. Looking at the following logarithmic graph there's an inflection point around 2005, it slowed down but it still looks like we're on an exponential growth path

I guess I got downvoted because people don't believe me that it's cheaper? But I spent $5 a couple days ago in one hour with deepseek v4 in a coding agent. That's way more expensive than a $20/month claude subscription.

Even at these prices I find claude and codex subscriptions to be cheaper than per-token pricing when my usage is hovering around the session limits. I guess the subscriptions are heavily subsidized.

AI is helping to finish off the job of destroying democracy that the rich started. We are doomed.

It was not the right call, Steve Jobs was just a monopolist killing a competing platform and we're all worse off for it.

If the bill is properly worded open sourcing the code shouldn't imply that all 3rd party libraries also have to be open sourced.

Every engineer to manager has the same thought but after a few years they can barely code.

AI is good for shopping today because all other platforms are fully enshitified but AI is still in the pre-enshitification phase. It will be infested with ads soon enough. Enjoy it while you can.

I get annoyed at all the other DBs that require their own heavy duty server process when for 90% of my projects there is only one client, my app server. Is there a DB that combines sqlite's embedded simplicity with higher concurrent wr

Very rarely. Most of the consumer protection laws were passed before Reagan in 1980. We did get the CFPB after the 2008 financial meltdown but it's been under attack ever since.

It took tens of millions of dead to create the relative peace of the later 20th century, that is a hell of a rock bottom. We got the UN, nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, war crimes treaties, free trade, unprecedented prosperity. It's

anti-DEI is basically just a work program for Christian MAGA white men. A lot of the people running the country now really do believe that things were better before women and minorities got rights.
