Someone at Anthropic just ripped the bandaid. They are going to lose all Windsurf traffic and revenue eventually so it makes business sense to serve your long term customers better.

Have a listen to Azeem Azhar’s latest episode of the Exponential view podcast with Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub. It is tangential to this thinking. Maybe the future is instant personal apps on your phone, constantly adapted and changing acc

Being ahead of the curve is a recipe for not being left behind. There is no better time for action than now. And regarding the competition from peers, the key is likely differentiation. As it always has been. Hardship or not, restarting fro

Alternatives need not be better or worse. Just different. Alternatives need not be doing the same thing somewhere else, it might be seeking out something else to do where you are. It might be selling all your stuff and live on an island in

Maybe I would be useful to zoom out a bit. We're in a time of technological change, and change its gonna. Maybe it isn't your job that will change, maybe it is? Maybe it's not even about you or what you do. More likely it&#x2

Ahh, the “don’t disturb the status quo” argument. See, we are all working on our replacement, newer versions, products, services and knowledge always make the older obsolete. It is wise to work on your replacement, and even wiser to be in c

The underlying reasoning seems to be that agreeing to GitHub TOS may put an uploader of open source code in breach of the license. But, uploading code to GitHub being convenient, this has been ignored. Is this so?

Note: I do use WSL every day, and while it is slow sometimes, it gets the job done and lets me run "explorer.exe ." to open the current folder in, well, explorer. TIL: My rationale for using WSL is the file system integration.

So, Microsoft is sunsetting WSL? It has moved from being in the kernel, to mostly in a VM, to not being a Windows component, to being open source. I’m setting a timer for the inevitable "we’re transferring stewardship to foundation gov

Small samples have more variability than large samples and thus more often show spurious large effects.

Probably the other way around. Windsurf and co (Aider, Cursor) drives a heap of traffic to their API from which OpenAI actually profit. They just need to have their own tool to lock customers in their ecosystem.

The use case for small models include sentiment and intent analysis, spam and abuse detection, and classifications of various sorts. Generally LLM are thought of as chat models but the output need not be a conversation per se.

Curated content has the built in problem of ”by whom” and ”with what incentive”. A large part of the problem with ”the algorithm” (whether manual by a human or an AI) is that someone is doing it for money. Unless the curation creates some
