I'm willing to bet that "Daily Active Users" is one of LinkedIn's H1 OKRs. Putting a daily game on the site earned an SVP a fat bonus.

The main thing Claude knows about me is that I'm incredibly bad at my job and have to ask for help a lot. If you were to talk with my colleagues they'd tell you this is not a secret.

These people are already massively rich and likely have opportunities to join any tech org that's growing, and any of those opportunities could make them even richer. It doesn't really explain why Anthropic is their apparent bes

I've also seen an increase in merged PRs, but it coincided with developers opening smaller PRs. In other words, AI made devs break work down more so they opened more PRs for the same work. That's still good, because smaller increm

The problem that I'm finding in my own work on figuring out the impact of AI is that there's just no reliable way to connect things directly to AI usage. Most of the tooling does things like " The user used AI on the same d

Those are people who don't use their computer in the same place. A laptop is great for them. I know plenty of people who only use their computer sat (or standing) at the desk in their home office. And yet they still insist on buying

You also have to be an MP. I don't think that's strictly true. You definitely don't have to be an MP in order to hold a cabinet office. I think that extends to the PM as well. It's never been tried obviously.

If it's for work, my work laptop. If it's not for work I won't be using a computer, so my phone is enough.

The difference in this instance is that all of the major parties have stood aside, leaving the Clacton by-election as a race between Nigel Farage and Count Binface. Essentially it's turned into an election between Farage and anyone-but

People keep touting react etc but I swear every mobile ordering app I use lags like hell.. I don't doubt it. People make terrible websites with React. However ... what might be happening is that you go to some websites, and some of

Sure, and if you like working with the conventions and abstraction Rails offers that's great. Other people make different choices. That doesn't mean they're wrong.

Fibre is better if you have a static point on land like a farm. It works less well if you're in a moving vehicle or if you're at sea.

Your argument leads me to assume you think everything that causes to someone need an ambulance is the result of their choices. Victim of a violent crime? You shouldn't have left your house. Run over by someone else? You shouldn't

For some models like the popular coding and chat models, things move faster. For things like images, voice, sound etc they definitely lag a long way behind.

I don't think the question is "Should ambulances be a thing?" though. It's a question of "Should someone in a situation where they need an ambulance have to balance the potentially life-threatening impact of saying

Your question implies a belief that things are 'good' or 'bad', but the reality of the world is a lot more nuanced than that. Pretty much everything that doesn't lead directly to human suffering can be seen as bot

Running models on-device on a Mac is immensely annoying though. Figuring out what will work out of BF16, FP8, BF16+FP8, NVFP4, INT8, GGUF ... the list goes on ... is 'non-obvious' at best. Apple do little to support with tooling

I don't think Anthropic are doing that because they don't have enough compute capacity. If we had 100* more datacentres the message would still be the same - they're focusing on selling Fable access to enterprise users becau
