Compared to OpenAI, who seem keen to maintain the mindshare of everyone, IMO Anthropic are far more considered about their audience. They released a report recently on who who was using AI professionally and it was something like 40% develo

AI is supposed to free us of menial labour and give us the future of our dreams and instead I’m getting targeted ads for McFlurries. God damnit.

This article is strangely timed for me. About a year ago a company reached out to me about doing an ERP migration. I turned it away because I thought it’d just be way, way too much work. This weekend, I called my colleague and asked him to

I guess it depends on the kind of work you’re doing. I use it for UI development and backend API stuff and it’s stupid how much work it does for me. I literally write a composer prompt, alt tab for 2 minutes, come back and it’s implemented

I've definitely found Gemini to be the least "flattering". And I don't say that in a purely good way, sometimes I find it actually kinda mean in the way it responds.

There are rare examples of non fiction books that don’t feel like this, and when you stumble upon them it feels wonderful. For example, I’ve always loved Meditations by Marcus Aurelius for this reason - it was written for him, and so it’s f

You’re basically proving the point. If they’re confident they’re going to 10x their valuation in a few years, then the valuation probably doesn’t accurately reflect the value of the enterprise.

How would that be different from something like ChatGPT executing Lean? That's exactly what humans do, we have messy reasoning that we then write down in formal logic and compile to see if it holds.

I find this hilarious. Why would they choose such a misleading unit

Hahaha I did think of that. Unfortunately as much as it helps, it won’t give you gains.

Can someone explain the ORM thing to me? I’ve been a developer for 8 years but never really worked on an app that was really database dependent. ORMs for me have always been convenient, and the performance has been fine. I understand there’

I’m more cynical. Dating apps are easy, and entertaining. Finding a good person to spend your life (or a prolonged period) with is hard. I’m not sure there is an external solution to this in the world we live in - it’s like getting fit. Pe

And on top of that, consumers prefer institutions in the loop. That’s why people use Amex to pay for stuff, because if it goes wrong you’ve got a massive institution with a tonne of clout to help you out.

I always feel better about the stewardship of a project when you see a thoughtfully written reason for saying no to a feature, especially when there’s already sunk cost. Props to the team.

You can also use Claude, Mistral, Llama and others on Google Vertex, similar to Bedrock.

Makes me suspect if the primary plateau is data, and we're now seeing a place where all the AI labs who are actually having a crack at this seem to have similar levels of quality data to train on. Layering in chain of thought and minor

I believe the answer is that there is far more interesting things to do with your life. It's quite easy to imagine a life where you're occupied up to your mid thirties with things like university, starting a career in a field you&

Thanks for writing this, I enjoyed every one of these. Something that jumped out at me from these attempts is the lesson that when you want to take on an entrenched business model, you need to do it in a way that isn’t directly at odds with

As people have pointed out, your work schedule is a problem. More importantly I think the key to managing sleep is managing the night before. It's WAY too easy to be randomly distracted by Netflix, Insta, TikTok, dating apps, messenger

Echoing the sentiment this is a huge mistake. Something I was thinking about the other day: All the mega successful chip companies at the moment: TSMC, Nvidia, Samsung - are all lead by founders or family of founders. It got me wondering th

Just did a CTRL-F to find this. I fell for the shiny marketing and thought Sonos had a great reputation. The app is bad, the native voice control is bad, and Alexa doesn't work properly for me (cannot get it to drive Spotify no matter

This a really cool idea. I've just started a book club with my room mates and we'd be keen to give this a try, especially if we can leave notes/thoughts for one another as we go through

An improvement in productivity does not necessarily imply improvements in quality. Where those extra engineering hours get spent is determined by management, and management are optimising for profit, which could mean optimising for quality

Interesting article. This policy has felt like a complete failure, but I didn't know the depths of how badly it has failed. I would really like to see these die. Regulators should just work with browser vendors to make an API that I ca

While true, TSMC has a stronger incentive for its own survival than the survival of Taiwan. If it's easier for them to shift operations to the US and continue to make $$$, I suspect they'd do that over retaining operations in Taiw

How so? They also are extremely incentivised to make this happen. A war on your front door is not good for business.

IMO part of what attracts to works of art, as humans, is the humanity behind those works of art. My love for the Beatles is probably equally due to the love of their story - the rivalries, highs & lows, their journey as musicians - as i
