Co-working with AI is an important skill to learn these days. Similar to paying a bit for AWS for your personal projects as a good way to learn all the AWS tools for your career.

I could, but what's the fun in that!? (But in seriousness, I hadn't considered using shortcuts. It's not clear it's extensible enough to do exactly what I want, but I'll look into it)

12 years ago I tried to make a simple app for myself. It would display bars that got smaller as the day/week/month got shorter, and would show the weather as a set of bars between max temp and min, cloud cover, etc. I got it work

The first to AGI, or a close approximation, is the winner. That’s what the investors in Anthropic and OpenAI are betting on. I’d be willing the bet that the Venn diagram of investors in those two companies is nearly a circle.

People said this about AWS too. "Why would they save you money??". It turns out that every time they reduce prices, they make more money, because more people use their services. AI companies have the same incentive. Make it c

Did you look at DBOS [0]? It does everything you list here, and more, all locally. It's also MIT open source. [0] https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-transact-py

Yes, that's why I mentioned the capacity issue as well. While losses aren't significant, they do matter. Especially when we are talking about a 1600 mile distance.

It's an amazing feat of engineering because it requires constant micro-adjustments, something that robots couldn't do a few years ago.

Yes, but you can't just inject 100s of megawatts into the middle and hope it magically gets to the coasts. There are a lot of losses on the transmission lines and each step has a max capacity.

Energy can't be moved as easily as food. If you generate electricity in Iowa you can't easily sell it to California.

Have you looked at DBOS for the durable execution layer? Much easier to integrate and not nearly as heavyweight for you/your customers.

Imagine deploying your bug fix and having to wait two days to find out if it worked!

Maintaining the reputation of an IP address is the issue here. If one bad actor sends just a few emails that get marked as spam, the entire IP gets marked as bad. That's basically what you're paying for. Also, the person who jus

The reason AWS does that is because there is a lot of base level work to verify you as "not a spammer" and to keep verifying you. So this is their way of making sure you pay the base cost. They could price per use, but it would h

That's not really how datacenter power works. It's usually a bulk buy with a 95th percentile usage.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. :)

Yes for sure. Only homes are exempt. Which is why I originally said it should be treated as though it’s still in your home.

by jedberg 6mo ago
Not in your home. They can’t sneak in and search your home and not tell you.

Specifically, I believe that if information that is held by a private 3rd party I accessed by anyone , law enforcement or otherwise, that third party should be required to tell you that it was requested and by whom. Just like they can&#x2

I know, that's why I said "including law enforcement" :)

I think it's code for "the government will have to bail them out".

We need a law that says if you hold any data about a person, they must be notified when anyone accesses it, including law enforcement. I used to work in criminal investigations. I understand how this might make investigation of real crim

Reading through it, I didn't see any mention of write access. It looks like the agent is strictly read-only with access controls.

The thing that AI is best at is summarizing vast quantities of information. That means the most natural thing for an AI to do is be "the one tool to rule them all". The more information it has access to, the more useful the answe

I had not, thanks! Interestingly, using FFT for this has been around for a long time, but combining it with transformers could have interesting new results.
