It's somewhat odd to me that many companies operating in the public eye are basically stating "We are creating a digital god, an instrument more powerful than any nuclear weapon" and raising billions to do it, and nobody bats

This is awesome for the future of autocomplete. Current models aren't fast enough to give useful suggestions at the speed that I type - but this certainly is. That said, token-based models are currently fast enough for most real-time c

This is fantastic news. The memes about "Temu Quality" are all too true - Temu exploited a loophole in US-China trade and shipped huge volumes of awful quality products that quickly ended up in landfills. The prices in Temu weren&

In N Out also has the smallest menu of any fast-food joint and has a very vertically integrated supply chain: They own their own meat production plants, cut their own potatoes into fries, operate their own bakeries etc.

Gemini 2.5 is actually pretty good at this. It's the only model ever to tell me "no" to a request in Cursor. I asked it to add websocket support for my app and it responded like, "looks like you're using long pollin

Remember that Docusign has 7,000 employees. I think OpenAI is pretty lean for what they're accomplishing.

In my experience, most people who say "Hey these tools are kind of disappointing" either refuse to provide a reproducible example of how it falls short, or if they do, it's clear that they're not using the tool correctly

How is your recruiting process going to improve to catch that in the future? Seems like a pretty big screwup, hopefully he wasn't given any sort of admin access.

That and videos of concerts / fireworks shows. For a fun example, every time I'm on the Las Vegas strip I see dozens of people taking videos of the Bellagio Water Show. There are 30 shows per night, if 50 people take videos in 4K

Feels like in my youth the biggest risk was stumbling on some freaky gore/porn that scarred you, but somehow that doesn't seem as bad as the risk of getting hooked on dopamine-optimized brainrot, alt-right propaganda, or micro tra

I always laugh when professors complain that students doing poorly in the class don't show up to class or office hours; they might just be really bad teachers, and they know those things won't help them.

Typically these online homework systems are pushed by the department much to the chagrin of the professors, but the students are required to pay ~$100/ea for the privilege of doing automated homework, and the department gets some nice

Another angle might be that gluten is likely the primary source of refined carbs for most people, which can contribute to SIBO and general Dysbiosis.

There are lots of open-source projects that took many millions of dollars to create. Kubernetes, React, Postgres, Chromium, etc. etc. This has clearly been part of a viable business model for a long time. Why should LLM models be any differ

Sugar has extremely well documented negative effects even in the amounts you find in a regular soda (let alone three). Most of the Aspartame studies test massive doses and are generally inconclusive. If it's a choice between the two, g

You might give QuestDB a try, it supports all the above except native graphing, though it does support Grafana and have a nice query UI. It's lightweight and blazing fast in my experience.

Comma is going to be popular with the Tesla refugees who miss the autonomous capabilities. Note for anyone from Comma reading this: I bought a car recently and limited my search to only Comma-well-supported models. None of the sales people

If we have Fort Knox we might as well hold Bitcoin too. Whether or not it's Digital Gold is up for debate, but it's a self-fulfilling prophecy; the more countries that hold Bitcoin in reserve the more it becomes Digital Gold. That

Though much of the controversy is around the inclusion of ripple, solana, and cardano. There's no reason to have these in the reserve. Might as well hold GME in there too.

Unfortunately a bicyclist on the road will be exposed to far more tire microplastics than drivers in their enclosed cabins with filtered and recirculated air.

I've been trying out o3 mini in Cursor today, it seems "smarter" but overall tends to overthink things and if it's not provided with perfect context it's prone to hallucinate. Overall I prefer Sonnet still. It has a

People talk about Groq and Cerberus as competitors but it seems to me their manufacturing process makes the availability of those chips extremely limited. You can call up Nvidia and order $10B worth of GPUs and have them delivered the next
