I believe we are on autopilot towards essentially free renewable electricity, and so this doesn't feel like a big concern when held against the potential end-of-humanity potential that AI has.

> I feel this is merely stating the obvious. I think there is value in someone of Gates' stature stating the obvious, plainly.

I use all three every day, and I am absolutely not finding 5.3 to be better. Competent and in the same league as, sure, but not better.

As much as I love Claude/Fable, I have recently found Sol to be dramatically better at this kind of task

I suspect his pitch here is that he knows UX and is technical enough to make it happens, rather than that this is a serious server OS.

The OP could well be referring to DHH's recent blog post comparing Roma in Copenhagen to a predatory species that needed to be culled.

I don’t think the credit/debit privacy split you’re imagining works like you think.

Embeddings are reasonably simple, but it’s a journey to get there, and I am very proud of the dog-heavy explainer I wrote on them: https://sgnt.ai/p/embeddings-explainer/

I thought this was going to be a non-invasive sugar-level device, but it looks like in fact the innovation here is that a popular CGM line can now do ketones?

A cool project, but feels like fundamentally the wrong approach when what you do most likely leaves a string of structured digital footprints anyway. I’ve got an agent that fills out my timesheets by looking at git commits, agent history, S

Someone else having been too early on a prediction has little bearing on my prediction. A year ago almost nobody was using open models as daily drivers, today they are. When I run out of Fable and Sol credits in a week, I switch to GLM5.3,

I think within 12 months we’re going to see a frontier (inc open models) that’s so good at almost all human-directed tasks that which model you use just won’t matter. Only differences that remain will be in deep research or very long-range

Yet to find a model that cross-model review doesn’t find a bunch of things wrong with. I’m running simultaneous review with whichever of Grok4.6/GLM5.3/Fable/Sol didn’t write it, and each model tends to find items the others

These tests are not useless, but I’d agree (from personal experience) that it’s far from clear that everyone should take one. There’s a degenerative genetic disease that runs in my family that for various reasons we only found out about ten

> There is nothing as good as Fable, not even close. This is true, but only for certain tasks. Even as a Fable fanboi, Sol is much better at Fable for some non-programming tasks: Fable for life-planning tasks is miserable because it keep

I’m absolutely into agentic coding and you’re still right. A TUI can live easily in a tmux window on a machine I can SSH into from my phone. Also: yes, you can vibecode a UI, but the author’s point reduces to absurd conclusion that you shou

> We should stop paying this criminal organization Arguably much of the issue is that it's not a singular organization. It's 18,000 separate law-enforcement organizations. The police in the rest of the wealthy Anglosphere have

OpenRouter’s “moat” is currently “why would I use anything else?”. Stripe has presumably only purchased them because they think there’s consumer-surplus to monetize here, which presumably will soon be giving me lots of reasons to use someth
