Then it might need a new type of architecture to work. I’m not attached to LLMs. If a new model comes out that can do only the things I want it do it, then great

You are correct, and apparently they did. Probably no one will face any consequences unfortunately: https://www.9news.com.au/world/donald-trump-iran-updates-oil... Discussion on Reddit: https://www.reddit.co

This reminded me of Yext’s demo at TechCrunch 50 in 2009 ( https://techcrunch.com/2009/10/01/the-25-million-demo-yext-s... ) Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/QmH9b27xm6k It was very impressiv

In the case I mentioned above, the company wanted me to build a search engine before elastic search existed, and before there was full-text search in popular dbs like Postgres or MySQL. The CTO/founder gave me his credit card and told

Very interesting take. Not sure about the comparisons though: 1) Russia is a huge powerhouse that can do a lot on its own, I don't think Gulf states have the same capability to recover (at least that's what energy analysts are say

Well, if you want to be pedantic, sure, nothing is perfect. You can always find fault with anything. Like you say, there are always tradeoffs It all depends on what you want the car for and how you use it. It will also depend on the very sp

I think plug-in hybrids are the perfect combo. You get amazing flexibility and if you mostly drive locally, then 80-90% you are probably purely driving electric When we bought are last car, I would've bought one of those if there had b

On a tangent - gmail has a feature to report phishing emails, but it seems like it’s only available on the website. Their mobile app doesn’t seem to have the option (same with “mark as unread”). Is it hidden or just not available?
