So from scratch but with a TON of insight and miles of read code from OpenAI? Haha. This will be so awful for Microsoft's lawyers.

MS leaving would also be a disaster for subsequent development of Bing, Windows Copilot, Office Copilot, Teams AI, various strategically important Azure service like Semantic Search etc. They’ve gone all in on OpenAI LLM’s, support nothing

Due to the garguantuan font size on the page, I couldn't resize the page down to my typical programming font size. It was larger than that even at 30% zoom level and that's the minimum on Firefox. It's pointless to have a dem

Yes and the killer feature of Poe for me is the easy access of several models _besides_ OpenAI. They are there too but they are also on ChatGPT. The interesting bits are the rest, like an Anthropic AI and open source model interface, and cu

They just put themselves in a terrible negotiating position. Probably so bad that the damage has already been done to themselves (the board) regardless what happens next. How can Sam possibly agree on the board remaining intact when they do

The profit focus being wrong seems so weird to me. It's an awfully expensive operation to run GPT-4 at scale and even now, it's rumored they are running the services at a loss. I understand the philosophical side, sure, but you ca

These typefaces that give the illusion of not being monospace are fun! And this one was a good example of those. Very easy on the eye and even with a spark of timeless retro computing. They manage get a lot into a single typeface here.

Huh. I think 16px is pretty much perfect on desktop too, and I thought I was leaning towards large desktop font sizes! I'm not sure why Hacker News uses this masochistic 12px/9pt font size for all these years though. I mean, it ma

Speaking of topping up which I agree with, I think it bears saying here that today with unexpanded nuclear in Sweden, wind accounts for only about 20% of energy production. Or if only including renewable sources NOT including nuclear, wind

It doesn't matter if it's more expensive. The question if it eventually gets more expensive than nuclear, an energy form Sweden/Vattenfall recently turned away from because it was not financially feasible anymore.

Yeah, we literally didn't have the _technology_ of all things. We did have research and machine learning is not a new field. We had a good hunch on where to go next for some time. But AI is infamously hardware constrained and we have o

Also it’s easy to make assumptions and have them slip by when more experienced. Like how the ?? operator works in C# or even just the bitshift or logical operator order which is pretty much standardized across languages by now. But still, t
