While I think I understand your point, there’s probably a few ways to look at this. One is many products start out pleasing most users, but pivots to enterprise customers because of revenue. Thus, the product shifts heavily towards the ent

It's intense market demand by people with lots of money against products that have a very long supply chain. Even with multiple sellers competing, this kind of demand is insane, and the buyers pockets run deep. The other way I look at

My experience at poorly run public schools is that leadership and admin change out VERY quickly because of burnout. The article talks about how military has long term continuity (8 year terms) but civilian have 2-4 year terms. I’ve seen s

Alternatively, unknown creators have less incentive to falsely promote or lie. It’s the reason I tend to trust random strangers on Reddit than popular YouTubers who have achieved monetization and sponsorship.

I believe Japan has a different concept of retirement than America; I can't speak for other Western cultures. More elderly people work low-paying part-time jobs to remain members of society, in addition to their financial needs. Amer

Overall, I enjoyed the essay and agree with the messaging. However, there were a few sentences that threw me off. I personally struggle with self-esteem issues, and I found these words extremely triggering, despite being sandwiched betwee

Deleting extra code is easier than verifying deleted lines and restoring the ones that seem like an accident. It's just annoying.

Why would you use sentence level chunking? I’ve generated embedding for “objects” or whole documents to get similarity scores. Helps with “relevant articles” type features. I’ve also made embeddings for paragraphs or fixed sized chunks for

MCPs are the most basic solution possible. Shoving the tool definitions into a vector store and having a subagent search for relevant tools, then another subagent to run the tools would greatly reduce impact on context. I think it’d work

It looks like a fun website, not a for-profit website. The expectations and focus of fun websites is more to just get it working than to handle the scale. It sounds like their user base exploded overnight, doubling every 14 hours or so.

Why try to hide it? It’s like public disclosures of security vulnerabilities. You directly contact the few people who have actionable data and means to address the problem, then you tell the world that they’re impacted and should be aware

I think quality takes time and refinement which is not something that LLMs have solved very well today. They are very okay at it, except for very specific targeted refinements (Grammerly, SQL editors). However, they are excellent at buildi

I actually think Ruby on Rails is incredibly difficult for LLMs to write because of how many implicit "global state" things occur. I'm always surprised how productive people are with it, but people are productive with it for

I don't think your response is very productive, and I find that my understanding of LLMs aligns with the person you're calling out. We could both be wrong, but I'm grateful that someone else spoke saying that it doesn't

I think one big issue is fundamental build differences between Linux and macOS. So many things build beautifully for one platform and not another, and it’s really frustrating to just want to use some piece of software that is not tested on

I kind of agree, but the cost is high for young people. I see similar problems between brain rot and junkie snack foods. Older people grew up without this instant gratification and arent used to it the same way young kids are. I grew up w

My experience internally at Apple is that accessibility was important, but it's also in the critical path for automated UI tests. So broken accessibility means broken tests. Good accessibility also means tests are easy to write. The
