I agree in principle, but I feel like we're not "there" yet, especially for tools like Copilot that allow models from different vendors. I do expect to see a unified model interface for regular ChatGPT and similar tools this

Agreed, though to your point I think we'll end up seeing more induced demand long-term - This will enable more software to be built and maintained by same or fewer people (initially). Things that we wouldn't previously bother to d

Agreed, I believe AI/LLMs will create induced demand for compute long-term, even if we get more efficient models (long-term meaning >6mo). Markets don't look ahead for more than a quarter or two though, so it makes sense there

I'm trying to figure out how this would be useful with the existing feature set. It seems like it would be good for summarizing daily updates against a search query. but all it would do is display them. I would probably want to connect

yeah, I'd love to see an option to include a deceleration step and what the time debt looks like from there.

Rest assured that the prevalence of AI means these skills will be even more important somehow. AI just made writing and coding skills even more important, not less, and I'd imagine the same will be true of finance and accounting.

I don't see a problem with this, we were inevitably going to reach some kind of plateau with existing pre-LLM-era data. Meanwhile, the existing tech is such a step change that industry is going to need time to figure out how to effecti

Horrible take, typical FUD against open source. Of all the things to criticize Meta/Facebook/Zuck for, open-sourcing LLMs should be at the bottom of the list. All of the examples cited (halloween prank, general AI slop) could have

I'll stay out of the inevitable "You're just adding a band aid! What are you really trying to do?" discussion since I kind of see the author's point and I'm generally excited about applying LLMs and ML at more

Is anyone able to contextualize this better? What crisis are they responding to? TFA mentions "sluggish business" and a looming demographic crisis, while labor groups call BS on the messaging. Is there anything really going on or

Thanks, that was very helpful. I agree, a lot of new construction is really shoddy and put together in a hurry. Naturally I would want to avoid that but you're right, building yourself isn't worth it unless you're ok with wai

I'm looking for a house now and the market is crazy, every house is subject to a bidding war and selling for at least 25% over asking, which sucks for folks who don't have the cash on hand to pay the difference (since the bank onl

Are you the artist from https://lostpixels.io/ ? If so I really love your artwork. I just got a pen plotter myself and I've been working on some original stuff, and yours is a big source of inspiration to me. Kudos!

Probably. Its definitely worth investing in good paper and pens for this hobby. There will be some experimentation tax built in too, I've bought pens that ended up being garbage but there's no way to know that until you try.
