The point was that you can go further than "write me a contact that says x,y and z". I actually believe the process I went through with the AI was a more custom, tailored experience than any interaction I have had with actual law

No admittedly not. I can try it and report back.

I was in a similar situation and tried a different approach. I had start with asking for a contact with some details I provided. But then I ask the model to be an experienced corporate lawyer and ask me a series of questions to gather the

We have been working in this space for the past year. Based on our experience, I no longer trust any claims unless they are backed by benchmark results (yes, benchmarks are painful to run reliably and expensive). It is possible to reduce

For anyone interested in private space flight: Wild Wild Space documentary. Also a commentary about startups in general. Separately, I've been wondering how uneven human progress is. I think we have come a long way in electronics (re

I have been wondering: more solar means we are making Earth less reflective. Solar energy that might have been reflected back to space is now absorbed by the PV to make electricity. But that delta has to go somewhere? Where does it go in

Luna is at a very compelling point on the price/performance curve. I have found that sometimes a smaller model with max reasoning is actually more expensive than using the next tier model with a lower reasoning effort. It’s certainly

Paul G is not writing this for a general audience of your run of the mill “engineer” hoping to be employed by someone. He is writing it for future founders. What knowledge / skills you need to develop today to be well positioned to h

In my experience, the thing that makes your better at something is actually _doing_ it, badly at first and then gradually improving by iteration. But for writing, I usually see the advice that says you should read a lot instead of write a l

I looked at the OTel schema generated for recording a single numerical metric. It was like 12 or 13 meta fields in addition to the actual metric fields like timestamp, metric and value. OTel looks like something designed by a committee of

This is an awesome thread. I agree - the catalyst is joy, in a broad sense of the word. One is lucky to find joy in something that can take you deep.

To be honest I also just read about it. However everytime I pass through Heathrow I think someone really took the idea to heart.

Aside for the algorithms and how well they work, there is a psychological aspect to how people perceive "wait" times. It turns out just waiting is very annoying. But having people do anything during that same wait period → perce

A version of this idea was mentioned in one of the Three Body Problem books. There, the bombs were pre-positioned along a path and detonated sequentially like dominos, with a vehicle riding the blast waves.

Sure. But I think they can do it more exhaustively than humanly possible.

I don’t think we have spent enough time on the creativity axis. When we solve problems we usually follow a heuristically guided energy efficient path. We just prune a lot of possibilities based on our existing knowledge and experience. Crea

Be sure to visit the basement museum to see the upside-down string + tiny sandbag weights model that was used to simulate the structure. Pure genius.

Learning to code = understanding a problem, breaking it down into small, manageable pieces, putting all the pieces back together. Debugging. Iterating towards better metrics, etc. All these are amazingly valuable skills/mindsets that

This will cause an extra round trip to the LLM. Which means more $ spent.

The comment about memcached being ephemeral is orthogonal to whether people will use it as if it persistent. If the cache appears to get hit 99.9% of the time and is always there, sooner or later people will write code that relies on that

It’s interesting that you have to be an A to tell the rest apart. And good luck if you have a lot Bs that believe they are As.

I believe 1:1 is fundamentally different than ever 1:2 ratio. So, even if you can have 3 person classrooms, I don't think it would be the same as 1:1 time. As soon as you are working with more than one student, you have to teach the c
