Fiverr CEO goes on a pretty dark rant about how people who don’t upskill and convert to AI workflows will have to change professions, etc. Then concludes his email with: > I have asked Shelly to free up time on my calendar next week so p

China innovates orders of magnitude faster than they did even ten years ago. Yes, a lot of it is still copycat, but there is value in being able to copy quickly and well. The question is whether China offers long-term stability for external

Exactly. Trump is just the messenger. The underlying problem, festering for decades, is that a large enough fraction of the US population thought that Trump was even remotely qualified to lead a country to begin with. The fact that we didn’

Nicer to ride in in what sense? I find single-pedal to be nauseating because many drivers can’t control their foot raise well enough for smooth or gentle braking, and the suspension feels chunky as hell, most likely due to how heavy the car

I like this viewpoint - it basically casts VC-backed AI startups as privately-subsidized applied R&D projects, which largely seems to be the case for foundational model companies.

… or, let’s see humans who are now 10-100x more productive (due to automation of mundane tasks that are already part of the training data) do the things you’re asking for.

It is annoying though, when you start a new chat for each topic you tend to have to re-write context a lot. I use Gemini 3, which I understand doesn’t have as good of a memory system as OpenAI. Even on single-file programming stuff, after a

Reasoning (3 Pro) >> Flash, and I assume their overviews are generated by Flash. But I haven’t found those to be that bad, myself.

The moat will be memory. As a regular user, it becomes increasingly frustrating to have to remind each new chat “I’m working on this problem and here’s the relevant context”. GenAI providers will solve this, and it will make the UX much,

Python is a pretty bad language for tabular data analysis and plotting, which seems to be the actual topic of this post. R is certainly better, hell Tableau, Matlab, JMP, Prism and even Excel are all better in many cases. Pandas+seaborn has

I have the same experience with Gemini, that it’s incredibly accurate but puts in defensive code and error handling to a fault. It’s pretty easy to just tell it “go easy on the defensive code” / “give me the punchy version” and it clea

I’m also curious about your last question. Cost of goods sold would not fall into R&D or sales as far as I know. So curious, in fact, that I asked Gemini to reconstruct their income statement from the info in this article :) There seems

I will say as someone who uses GCP as an enterprise user and AI Studio in personal work, I was also confused about what Google AI Studio actually was at first. I was trying to set up a fork of Open NotebookLM and I just blindly followed Cur

This is generally good advice but not universal. I’ve seen how complaining about other teams within one’s own team stifles collaboration and can kill cross-functional projects before they get started. But also, if there’s a real problem on

It honestly may depend on how bad it is and how you react to it. For me, it was causing almost a constant panic-level reaction for weeks. I couldn’t sleep without heavy drugs, and I would wake up sweating and on edge. Just non-stop. I took

Exactly. LLMs as they exist today have just codified a bunch of left-leaning cultural norms from their training set, which is biased toward text generated by internet users from the ~90s to today (a distinctly - though decreasingly - left-l
