It's not surprising if one has the mental model of the probability that the request gets enqueued. Then when you add variable time to process requests it becomes more clear why some requests can take unexpectedly long (there is a >0

It's not surprising that Trump is as bad as he is at many of these things, but what is surprising is that he's worshiped by his supporters.

Great point. I wish more people realized that intuitively.

I tried it and it was extremely broken and dramatically overhyped. Which I guess is what Elon finds appealing about it, as that seems to be his preferred type of business.

While there is some irony in the AI is dangerous marketing Anthropic uses, the main story here is that the Trump administration is apparently retaliating against Anthropic for refusing to relax certain safeguards. Trump and Hegseth have b

Cursor was simply able to get early access to openai models and get an early lead doing things that are now obvious and done better by many others. Does anyone really want to use a crippled "enhanced" vscode to interact with a cri

Sacks fraudulently obtained citizenship papers but the next administration will likely review the case and revoke his citizenship, which will make him eligible for deportation. Sacks can choose to self-deport on his own, which will help his

The government blocking access to frontier AI is the definition of AI dystopia. Let's hope Anthropic open sources Fable and teaches Donald Trump a lesson the way Deepseek did! If Anthropic keeps Fable closed source and plays the Author

A few years ago Dropbox just stopped working for the basic thing it is supposed to do -- let me access lots of files without taking up tons of local drive space. Since then I have not stopped using/paying, but i have stopped counting

Just as poorly designed code can still compile. This is operator error, not a failure of the technology.

by resters 5mo ago
This failure is human laziness, not an issue with the technology. People who use AI because they are trying to avoid doing work fall into a completely different category than people using AI as a force multiplier and for skills/capabil

For now open weight models are legal. Conceivably the government could claim that an open weight model "contained" forbidden information and simply ban it. We live in authoritarian times.

I think we'll know this is true when deepseek becomes illegal in the US. I tried to sign up for deepseek API access directly from the company out of gratitude for the open source contribution (deepseek.com) but payments are blocked by

agentic engineering is when you go from vibes to trust. It's much like how one feels about a brand new unproven, newly hired human team member vs a trusted team member one has worked with for years.

We learned from WikiLeaks that the US government classified (hid) significant information that was not relevant to national security, simply to conceal information about the war effort that would likely have turned public opinion against th

I thought this meant Apple was creating the ability for anyone to issue/sell passes/tickets through its wallet infrastructure. That would be much more significant.

More likely, the story is designed to make the public believe that US propaganda is actually aimed at the "foreign adversary" rather than at the US population. The emotionally appealing bit is the idea that even if the story is fa

touch screens in cars are mainly a cost saving measure, just like plastic that is supposed to look like wood (cheaper than real wood), or economy class tires instead of higher end tires, or steel rather than aluminum.

Makes sense. Cursor is extremely overhyped as well.

This is the key point. In my view it's just like anything else, if AI can help humans create better work, it's a good thing. I think what we'll find is that visual design is no longer as much of a moat for expressing concept

If prompted appropriately, LLMs can write prose that mirrors nearly any style you ask for. Not sure what the big hubbub about "slop" is. Honestly it's annoying.

ultimately supply and demand should result in less demand for the stock of companies that do not provide adequate transparency about results. Supporters of the idea would likely say: "But considering that stock price crashes result in
