I see posts pop up with this sentiment often and I'm of two minds: - llms let us build exactly what we want fairly quickly nowadays, or at least a prototype and - being able to build these features (or separate products) quickly is exa

Build it, post about it, and see. This seems like something that would take an hour with a decent llm. Perhaps another hour or two to get the ui in a decent enough state. Probably shouldn't plan on making money on this though

People love hating on x and nikita but both the app & web experience have improved dramatically over the last year+. He's done a great job in a year and there seems to be even more internal stuff he's improved that we haven&

Platitudes sound nice but in the real world you need incentives and there are plenty. Other than real madrid and barcelona and a few italian clubs, very few euro clubs are run as non-profits. Easy to argue that maximizing financial return i

I think distillation is inevitable and pretty hard to prevent but I also dunno why anyone would spend billions to train frontier models if there's enough distillation going on to get near it with much lower spend.

This is true for any company following an open source strategy. You'll have the weights but you'll need to run inference, figure out your system prompt, sampling, quantization, etc etc. Loads of tuning. elasticsearch the first exa

Agree but I think they'll spend whatever they can to subsidize and break dependence on US models. Whatever isn't spend on US models will be spent on chinese models. Europe will remain a small single digit % unless they get their a

> the idea that anyone could own that is obscene What if china ends up owning it? Do you think that's better or worse for the world? You're commenting your open opinions on a site run by a company that could not exist in china

They're dumping, dude. They subsidize important industries so they can give it way so cheaply that free markets can't compete, and when those companies fail, they swoop in and make a profit. uber did the same thing with taxis! Thi

People say this but windows and mac won the os wars and consumer linux distros are dead. No one I know uses open weights models to code day-to-day and very few use open weights models in prod for most llm tasks. This is less true for imag

Flailing. I hope its because he fears for his job and not because he senses yet another price-fixing scandal on the horizon.

ehhhh I'm not a corgi stan but I'd bet they just took the design & copy, which is totally fine imo. Often better to just take another's design instead of spend a bunch of cycles figuring out flow. This is doubly true for

The country has changed massively through voting in the last 25 years. I would rather not change to a system where political groups attack others with guns and bombs to change things, because that's the alternative you're proposin

I think there's evolution at play here - if you dislike AI enough to opt out of using any ai-generated code, you will likely suffer. I think there's definitely a conversation to be had about whether to disclose AI use or not but t

Tried everything and love 1pass. Dont want to have to think about it too much. I think this is tentatively good for bitwarden - making money means you can more easily invest in the team and product. Counter to the prevailing notion in comme

Good for them. Much easier to build a great product if you're making money from it. I tried bitwarden a while ago but ended up going with dashlane for a few years. I'm on 1password now and really like it but more competition is al

This is clickbait meant to make you angry - the move has been planned for more than ten years, well before datacenter power usage was an issue. NV Energy has made it clear that they're ending their wholesale agreement and for some reas

Kimi nowhere close to opus on extended use but definitely highly competitive with sonnet. I will probably end up using kimi for personal stuff when I find some time to get it running or get a non-anthropic/openai harness set up on my p

I think its two systems masquerading as one - employed-and-insured and everyone else. If you're the former, it works great. If you're the latter, it can be mediocre to BRUTAL. Medical debt is our #1 or 2 cause of bankruptcy iirc.

If you can successfully integrate with quest/labcorp and one or two of the big ehrs, i will happily pay double what you're charging.

after reading it, it's super positive and really great. I wouldn't consider myself the target audience for this, but ill probably work it into my morning practice a little for a couple weeks.

Yes, it's been insane. Hitting limits by noon since late last week. Not even using opus 4.6 with 1mm context, just normal opus and a bit of sonnet/haiku.

I hate these types of study because yea, in general people are really moral and want the right things but when it comes down to specifics, very few people are voting for a new nuclear plant near their house (I would love to vote yes on this

Finally someone's taking another swing at this. Can't even remember what MSFTs last pmr tool was called but I used it and it was decent enough. I've been wanting something like this for ages so let's hope this one works.

I did not expect there to be any bright spots but I hope this turns into one of those things (like the 2002 AUMF) that just lasts so long we see benefits from it and eventually kill the underlying blockers.

Hey just a heads up that your resume link is broken! Looks like it was truncated somewhere.
