Scares me. When the ruling class get robots servants they will have no need for even simple human interaction anymore and that will truly unleash them to do harm.

DeepSeek models have such good benchmark performance, amazing pricing, and the team over there seems to be widely considered impressive. I just haven't found them to be very good? I've had a ton more success with the GLM models (s

Making Android apps was my introduction to publishing software. I remember in ~2011-2012 you could upload an APK and it would be published immediately and the Android Market had a "New" page which was just a chronological feed of

We're very happy with OpenRouter in production, although we use it in a pretty limited fashion. We have only ~10 providers allowlisted (based on their location and ZDR policies) and we use only a few models, often frontier models. Has

Does anyone have any recommendations for something like Cursor but more open? Cursor's harness is so much faster than anything else I've used that I just can't give it up, using Claude Code feels like being on 0.25x speed. Al

GLM 5.3 is "only" 753B parameters. Much much smaller.

There really has never been another product priced like AI is being priced right now. Each of these things has been done before, but all of them together is new. 1. Insanely discounted starter plans. Claude $200/mo plan is like $5k-$8k

Anthropic's run as the AI Good Guys lasted ... 6 months? Hope they had fun. Turns out there aren't any AI good guys. Every single one of these companies engages in all the same BS. At least with open weights models we (the users)

These tools are explicitly marketed as a way for non-technical people to code. If we expect those same people to understand sandboxing we're dreaming.

Apple has totally failed to deliver interesting AI experiences so far ... and I still think they're going to be the dominant provider of AI in 5 years. We're just one or two advances in chips / models / both away from be

Codeapprove creator here! I made it to fill the exact gap you're lamenting, and I still think that gap exists. For a while it seemed like Graphite was going to be the answer but over time they ended up focusing more on the AI angle and

Makes sense for them as a business, but still a bummer to have AI music mixed in with human music at all. To me there is literally no point to AI music. Music is communication. The artist is communicating with the listener through a pretty

In the long run I truly believe local AI will win and Apple will be the world's most important AI company because of these chips. Imagine something like today's Opus running for free and in complete privacy on your local machine w

At work we use Anthropic models and have basically no limits. So I am very familiar with what Opus can do. I also see the bills, I know what it costs. At home I make a point of trying other models / tools on my side projects. So I&#x27

The most jarring thing to me is seeing how kids (high school and college age) use Airpods now. I will see a group of friends hanging out in public and none of them take their Airpods out! They are talking and socializing, but they feel no n

How much of the "financial gravity" do you attribute to VCs? I've noticed that VCs try very hard to separate the world into "VCs + founders" and "everyone else" and that the more time a founder spends in t

I saw someone on Xitter say "Any CEO who wants to replace jobs with AI should first have to replace their own assistant with AI" and I think that's the perfect rule. Every AI demo is some version of a personal assistant, sure

This feels more like AI delusion, but I do worry about AI psychosis (which we're seeing in smaller numbers). People literally losing their ability to make sense of reality due to talking to AI all day. We all know that celebrities&#x2F

This is shockingly cheap, and by all account it's a very smart model. Is there a US-based provider for DeepSeek V4 Pro that offers a similar cost? I want to use this at work but can't justify sending company data to Chinese server

They invented a product that has no possible cost control: you don't know how much you've used until you've used it. And then we somehow made it a virtue to use as much as possible. I can't think of a more effective mone

Macbook Neo is amazing, so impressed what Apple can deliver for so little. That said, my sister this morning asked if she should buy a Macbook Neo. I pointed her to a refurb M2 Macbook Air with 16GB of RAM for the same price. I feel like th

Can you ELI5 why this is so slow for local inference but so fast for using hosted models?

by habosa 5mo ago
Same. Zed is so fast it's shocking. But it was using 2-3x as much RAM as VSCode or Cursor with TypeScript and the language server crashed a lot. Given that work is a TypeScript monorepo, that was a dealbreaker for me.

When people talk about AI replacing jobs, this is what it will look like. Companies that care about quality will use AI to make humans more productive and enhance their overall offering. Companies that only care about profit (read: most) wi

I bought a teddy bear from them in 2014 and another in 2025. It's night and day. The earlier one is really high quality, the newer one feels like I won it from a claw machine.

There does seem to be like a 1% chance (maybe 0.5%) that this turns into a WeWork situation. It's a product that users love, but the company leadership is so used to lying and deceiving and being loose with numbers that the IPO filing
