Not really. Mixture of models and mixture of experts have been around. It’s easy to switch a project harness from Codex to Claude to Gemini and to open models. You’re not locked in to a model, you’re more concerned about competitive token c

Vendor lock-in is real and it’s scary. You are helpless to the constant price increases and each passing renewal you get deeper and deeper into the lock-in. Here’s to the day when someone clever with AI can disintermediate this situation. Y

I still remember in 2016 when Elon Musk made a big announcement about his "acqui-hire" of the Dalhousie University EV battery research team led by Dr Jeff Dahn. There was much fanfare and announcements of million-mile batteries an

It’s so exciting to read more and more articles like this, using LLMs to discover clever solutions. I mean how many of us have dreamed of scanning years of receipts, waiting for that moment when you know a DIY solo application is at hand. I

For once or twice a year road trip I’d just rent a combustion car, otherwise it’ll just be sitting in the garage not good as a daily driver.

That’s how Musk works. He waves his hands and uses words like “orders of magnitude” and “first principles” and then you end up with 250-meter long tunnels under your city with Teslas driving back and forth in it and fanboys forget this thin

I would add that it’s largely due to LLM’s extraordinary ability to infer. Natural plain language live in files and we no longer have to worry about structure. Legibility is the spec and anyone decent enough to be legible will write to a fi

While you’re at it, can you make a new CRM and a new ERP? These 5% renewal price increases on top of already high margins by a captive legacy system needs a new model.

If you think XML is old tech, wait until you hear of EDI, still powering Walmart and Amazon logistics. XML came in like a wrecking ball with its self-documenting promise designed to replace that cryptic pesky payload called EDI. XML promise

This is a very trivial treatment of Deming and I’m surprised how it makes its way to the top of HN. The arc from Walter Shewhart to W.E. Deming is a bedrock foundation in an Industrial Engineering curriculum. These men paved the manufactur

Did you have to choose an adjective to name your product. Now it’s going to be very confusing for search engines and LLms. “Tell me more about entire.” “Entire what?” “You know, that entire thing.”

How can they be diverging, LLMs are built on similar foundations aka the Transformer architecture. Do you mean the training method (RLHF) is diverging?

I’m just curious why your writing is punctuated by lots of word breaks. I hardly see hyphenated word breaks across lines anymore and it made me pause on all those occurrences. I do remember having to do this with literal typewriters.
