i use opencode zen as a convenient pay-as-you-go way to try out all these new models. it doesn't have 3.7 yet, but at the rate they usually update it probably will tomorrow. I couldn’t say how throttled it is, but it seems fine?

in both cases, the reality is that nothing has changed all that much. the googlebook is a laptop. the search box doesn't really work differently to how it did yesterday. (how it worked ten years ago, yes it's very different. bu

and even if it was, when a search engine takes you to another website, that site is also not bias free. just becuase somebody publishes something on a website, does not make it a fact. google has always been good at finding things that loo

both of these things are equally important. every change will annoy somebody. every change breaks somebody's workflow. preventing the unnecessary changes can help you get the political capital in your org to push through the changes t

somebody the other day described google products as being a 22 year old imagining what their dad would want, and that feels very true to me.

"support" meaning drivers and basic security updates, sure. but if you buy this for the gemini integration, what are the odds that google actually sticks with that, or two years from now are you going to have a laptop that lags be

I’ve heard that enough times about various non-Mac options, and every time I’ve believed it, I’ve learned I shouldn’t have. Even if it starts out good, it doesn’t last. I want framework to succeed, I want them to have battery life as good

I’d go a step further and say there is never a good reason to share unedited ai output. The closest acceptable thing to share is the full chat, including your prompts . If the output is useful enough to share, then the human thought proce

You’re right, but Lmgtfy links are incredibly similar in tone to sending somebody ai output. Lmgtfy was a passive-aggressive (but not really passive) way to say “hey, are you too dumb to google this?”. Sending somebody ai output feels the

the breathless fearmongering but also condescending tone of this really makes it hard to take seriously. yeah, you can "digitally fingerprint" me when i browse the web. do you know when else you can get my fingerprints? literal

It seems silly to be talking about a “ChatGPT moment” for a piece of industrial hardware that no regular person will ever have any cause to consider buying. The ChatGPT moment was when they launched a product that was generally useful to th

being able to run a model fast is definitely more useful, but being able to run a model slowly for free is still super useful. agentic workflows are maturing all the time. yes, if i'm directly interacting with the LLM, i want it to be

I can tell you first-hand (from the side doing the banning) that you’re wrong. You’re not going to get an email telling you that you’re banned. Your payments will just start being declined, and they won’t be able to help you. They’ll sugge
