Big fan of Amp but pretty sure it only uses Flash for search: https://ampcode.com/models As for Fable: I used it as much as I could while we had it. It was a step change over Opus with my work.

It's always been ok for people to talk about their projects here. In fact it's encouraged.

In what country would taxi drivers revolt? I think in most countries the drivers get paid by the taxi license holders and usually can make more money and/or more have more flexible working conditions driving for Uber. See eg https:&

By zero install I mean I don't want an executable on my computer. I want it transient - available when I use it, but removed when I don't.

I think you are reading a lot into this. There's always an announcement by one of the frontier labs.

Strong disagree! Zero install is a huge feature both to reduce friction and to save local storage. I don't want to install yet another synth I'll use twice a year.

I think this makes some excellent points. In particular the cultural impact of the S-shape guitar has been enhanced by people playing non-Fender S-shapes. Think Eddie van Halen on his Frankenstrat which has it's own Wikipedia entry and

I think 3.5 Flash is supposed to improve the long-range instruction following. I haven't tried it at that because for the short range tasks I gave it I found it around Sonnet level, but slower (because it takes more tries!) which makes

If you look at the "thinking" traces as ways of expressions of uncertainty rather than literal thinking they make more sense. Consider debugging - you start off in one place, think you have worked out what is happening, and then t

The obvious answer is that "obvious lines" aren't at all obvious at the scale of Google. Googlers are well paid, and that pay reflects this.

I wrote the above post. I like the creative cases! But maybe you are right and it isn't just engagement mining. I think my problem is more that I'm comparing the level of finish on the original cyberdecks to these ones, and

Hmm perhaps you are right. I think I'd over indexed on the unfinished look of some of them, but relooking at them as prototypes instead of the level of the original set makes them seem more reasonable.
