Is there much boilerplate aside from err checks and JSON tags? Even then, your IDE / copilot should automatically insert those along with imports and package names.

I despise all platforms with "creator payouts." Influencers churning out hyper-optimized slop will flood your platform and drown out real creators who are actually posting original content. If you do manage to post good content, e

I'm not sure what the point of this is. Aren't there enough LLM playgrounds out there? Maybe if they wanted to develop it into a useful feature it would create unique LLM benchmarks from your pull requests and issues, so you can e

The average is irrelevant, look at the maximum. If you own one car it needs to work well for all of your car needs, including visiting your mountain cabin, driving to see your family in another state every couple months, road trips etc. Ran

NOT rolling your own has also never been easier. I've had Sonnet recommend great libraries and tools to me that I probably wouldn't have discovered on my own, and the plus side is I don't need to spend as much time learning t

One interesting thing about autonomous vehicles is that companies that have spent billions of dollars and decades in R&D (e.g. Tesla) are only slightly ahead of competitors. Now it's seeming like multimodal LLMs will be the way for

I love this analogy, it also tells you why index investors usually do better than speculators: even if you invest pretty broadly across the space there's a good chance you missed the one path to the food.

Slack AI (to ask questions of your chat history) is very much a thing, you just have to talk to your Salesforce rep and buy a license for your whole org. We bought it, were all very excited about it, but in reality it's complete garbag

What a disaster Lightroom has been. They launched new Lightroom and renamed old Lightroom to Lightroom Classic. New Lightroom was missing a lot of features but was generally faster and more stable so I switched over. Then somehow Adobe deci

SpaceX has a satellite launch calculator right on their website[1]. This is fun to point out to SaaS companies that claim their pricing is too complicated to put on their website. 1. https://www.spacex.com/rideshare/

That's the current voice mode, not the new "advanced voice"

While the crawling is disrespectful, it seems RTD could find a cheaper host for their files. At my work we have a 10G business fiber line and serve >1PB per month for around $1,500. Takes 90% of the load off our cloud services. Took me j

That's partly because all voice assistants have a feature discoverability problem. People have generally no idea what it can do unless they ask. And if new features are added, they won't know about those either. But at the bare mi

Any time you make a private repo public it’s best to just copy that code into a new public repo and leave the private repo private. Otherwise have to audit every previous commit and every commit on every fork of your private code.

Looks like it would be difficult to run in this scenario where you’re confined to a narrow wooden platform. You’d either have to start shoving people off or risk burning your feet in the ground below.

I love Looker Studio, that’s free with Google Cloud.

Using open-source is a liability too, with added problems of code licensing conflicts, supply chain attacks, zero-day vulnerabilities, relying on maintainers that don’t work for you, etc.

RTS games like StarCraft generally require intense focus, there's no room for a mind to wander.

If the competition were set up with the right incentives, like payment to the private prisons based on their recidivism rates or job placement after incarceration, it might actually work. But today we're creating backwards incentives.

I don't expect organizations to need to generate 1T output tokens, but 1T input tokens is common. Consider developers at a large company running queries with their entire codebase as context. Or lawyers plugging in the entire tax code

This is awesome. I ran a query against a knowledge base that used to cost around $0.13 with 4o, now the cost doesn't even round to 1 cent, and the response is nearly as good. I expect to make heavy use of this in my research-oriented a

Not really, MoE is trained all at once and the 'experts' don't have pre-defined specializations. They end up being more like "punctuation expert" and "pronoun expert" than "math expert" and &quot

Exciting, I think 12B is the sweet spot for running locally - large enough to be useful, fast enough to run on a decent laptop.

I had a take-home assignment to build a Dropbox competitor around 10 years ago, it was a pretty big project but I actually still use it for sharing files with friends because it's legitimately much easier to use than Dropbox.

That's the whole process if you get hired. In the hiring process at my company we'll maybe give take-home assignments to three candidates for one role. So by the time you're doing our 4-hour assignment, you have about a 1&#x2

Wow, I would have killed to have access to something like Claude when I was in school. I would have spent a lot less time stuck on problems or topics.

Well, CloudFlare registers domains at-cost, so that's about as close as you can get.
