If I buy a recent Motorola device, will it be possible to upgrade to Graphene in the future? I'm looking for a new device right now.

The influencers generate noise, but the progress is still there. The real productivity gains will start showing up at market scale eventually.

The fun thing about this is that I can see myself answering "just walk there! It's near" if I'm extremely sleepy or drunk. LLMs are indeed weird creatures :)

That's different. You are pulling the model, semantically, closer to the problem domain you want it to attack. That's very different from "think deeper". I'm just curious about this case in specific :)

But beyond syntax, how does the tooling compare? It seems that Mix is very convenient and feels like similar tools in other languages. I'd imagine that Erlang doesn't have an equivalent.

Slightly off-topic, but are there teams using Erlang instead of Elixir for application development? I'm planning on getting into this ecosystem and I'm considering if it's worth it also becoming an expert on Erlang beyond und

It's terrifying in a hacker/cool way. Making the wrong query, creating millions of rows, and sending possibly millions of requests to the LLM provider sounds risky. But I like it :)

My point was to say that your idea should work because today's models are capable enough. If I get some time later today, I'll post my scripts.

Cool idea. I use Logseq with some custom scripts and plugins for that. Works very well with today's models capabilities.

I just answered exactly that. I think that AI agents code better than humans and are the future. But the parent argument is pretty bad, in my opinion.

The design looks cool, but it surfaces the app launchers as the protagonists of my workflow. I feel that it would be better if it was more about open windows or something in this direction.

That works in some cases, not others. I'm not saying that PowerShell is bad, but it certainly isn't a masterpiece of design.

Maybe something related with prediction markets, like punishing the company heavily if it ever betrays these core values. Just thinking out loud.

It is a bet on two things: 1. the enshitification of smart devices would continue progressing and, at some point, our product would just be better and enough reason to migrate 2. a single, catastrophic privacy event would change the public

For how long will this work? Eventually, these companies are just going to insert LTE capabilities and use their own connection for data acquisition.

I have a different concern: the SOTA products are expensive and get dumbed down on busy times. My personal strategy has been to be a late follower, where I adopt new AI tools when the competition has caught up with the previous SOTA, and no

Never heard of it. Sounds cool. Is it useful for virtual office setups? With virtual screen sharing, etc.
