I know it’s easy to sit at home being indignant at the internet, but how on earth does an ISP with 10M subscribers and the most expensive infrastructure in the solar system ever come out to be worth $300B? They even have to routinely replen

I just submitted my first Claude authored application to Github and noticed this. I actually like it, although anthropomorphizing my coding tools seems a bit weird, it also provides a transparent way for others to weigh the quality of the c

Even Alex Karp openly recommends European countries to roll their own alternatives. If anyone in Europe insists on Palantir it’s by their own volition. The hard work is integration and data workflows, that is hard work regardless of the cho

If only they decided to accompany each sample with a full DNA sequence of the donor.

All I want is an API for my AI, you can ask me for my public key, if you want my human identity verified. The collateral damage of this bot hunting is the emergence of personal AIs. Do we really want that? It feels regressive. (I see the hy

If only it didn’t - I’d much prefer the UI of a few versions back.

Taking “Know thyself” to a whole new level. I’d love to have these stats on me, if it could be done by inference, rather than conscious effort.

As a Mac user, ironically, it seems like the Mac design team only uses iPhones or worse, not Macs themselves. I think we are at a stage where the “design rules the world” dominate rather than the full product experience. And there seems to

I completely agree, as you may infer from my comment. The second multivariate models are relevant we effectively trade explainability for discrimination power. If your decision tree/model needs to be large enough to warrant SGD or simi

Again, said as someone out of the fray, let’s hope it self-corrects. Physics is a very community driven field, and the young must try new things, and be allowed to, it is part of progress. It is when the seniors surrender the standard of qu

If you sum up experimental physics into one heuristic it is “avoid fooling yourself with assumptions” - I left physics over a decade ago, but I feel confident that physicists still work hard to understand what they observe and don’t let LLM

When I worked at CERN around 2010, Boosted Decision Trees were the most popular classifier, exactly due to the (potential for) explainability along with its power of expression. We had a cultural aversion for neural networks back then, esp

Actually I love the — ever since my first Mac, I have enjoyed the finer characters of typography. It’s much easier to access on a Mac keyboard. Not saying the proliferation of AI has that as a signature, like the weird phrasing, but at leas

> Are these people human? Yes, more so than everyone else who act like any animal. I can’t help to think of the “human test” in Dune, when we use our minds to override our instinctive urges, it is human behavior.

The trap for many companies is that as everyone automate with AI, their competitive advantage erodes, as they prove that a few centralized models can run the businesses. What are the trenches in businesses in 2030, purely ownership over phy

Yeah, me too. And I gobbled up the Phreak culture from my danish small town life, dreaming of late eighties AT&T escapades with my crew of cool street kids… RISC is good.

There may be a developmental arc to this. I once enjoyed programming, in all its forms. I loved to express my ideas as projects. Now after three decades of programming, I have seen 95% of the problems I have to solve in any given project be

In some roundabout way, it’s really pathetic that the evil corporations of our times are merely dopamine peddling advertisers, and not something more sinister. I guess we should count ourselves lucky..

For me it helps to simply search for willingness to pay. The push-pull between your conceived offering and the customer’s perceived value, tend to turn these persona assumptions into something testable. Then, once true WtP is established, y

Add this to an open ended Morrowind sequel- with a tint of Minecraft and LLM driven narrative - and you would have caught the 18yo me in an infinite loop. Danger stuff, pure alchemy in fact…

That may be an interpretation. Another is that many have difficulty regulating their feelings, and “venting” the discomfort in this semi-controlled manner is a socially acceptable release because it invites others to do the same to you, and

Only when it’s dark, overcast, winter or really cold. Otherwise it’s mainly due to the extreme overcapacity required to handle distributed unreliable energy sources as well as an increasing fleet of electric cars, stressing every last kilom
