“even though you're delivering code at a good pace, you're taking too long to deliver those Design Docs. Are you using AI? You should use more AI.” This here is the crux of it I think… it’s often promoted that AI will give us the

There have been plenty of motorized lenses in the past that relied on the micro-contoller inside the camera body for control. What does having the controller live on the lens permit that the pattern we've used for years doesn't af

I have heard he would write entire books out on index cards and then rearrange them as part of his creative process. I love that. Apparently Vera (his wife and editor) would carry a handgun in her purse to protect them on their travels. My

I interestingly came to a pretty similar conclusion about Kerouac around the same time as this reviewer, and brought it up in my review of Henry Miller’s book on Big Sur (which I can highly recommend): https://kamranjon.com/

Just curious - are you at all concerned about the legal implications of ai-generating property listing videos?

not really the same - that's sort of the nice thing about ipads and some business laptops is you can add a sim card and use them anywhere. The MNT Pocket Reform has this but the waitlist is months out.

It feels like they just pointed an AI model at Ed Zitron’s blog and asked it to make a super engaging and viral post.

Yea my m4 max with 128gb has ended up making a lot of sense for me. I do video editing, I train ml models, I run large open AI models, I do 3d modeling, rendering and cad work. I never do all of this 100% of the time, I’ll setup a ml traini

The really interesting thing that I think is going on inside of the DS4 repo is exploring all of the interesting knobs that frontier labs have hidden from users, and then thinking about how they can fit into real dev/interaction workfl

Very cool! I had no idea that HF was doing this - I really love their small model experiments.

Just want to mention that I've been pulling down and using DwarfStar locally and it's incredible. I actually have it running on my personal macbook m4 max with 128gb of ram and I am running the server to share it through tailscale

If you can’t be bothered to provide sources for any of your claims, when responding to an article that actually provided sources for its claims, we can just assume you’re making it up. When you become emotional when someone asks you to prov

Just wanted to maybe make a light suggestions that, for marketing purposes, this really doesn't need any suggestion of TikTok and also might benefit from less heavy handed mentions of AI. I think it provides a real value proposition on

Sorry I meant the A1-Mini - but the regular A1 uses the same, superior AMS system as the mini from what I can tell.

Does anyone know if there is another printer manufacturer that has an equivalent to the Bambu A1S with it's custom AMS system. I don't think people realize how good that printer and AMS system is (the AMS system for the X1C pales

This black box approach that large frontier labs have adopted is going to drive people away. To change fundamental behavior like this without notifying them, and only retroactively explaining what happened, is the reason they will move to s

Sure, but Google also leaves little to no overlap between models and often will leave models in preview mode (which many companies cannot use in production for legal reasons) - right up until the point that the previous model is deprecated.

Consistency, new models don't behave the same on every task as their predecessors. So you end up building pipelines that rely on specific behavior, but now you find that the new model performs worse with regards to a specific task you

It's interesting that, of the large inference providers, Google has one of the most inconvenient policies around model deprecation. They deprecate models exactly 1 year after releasing them and force you to move onto their next genera
