Was bracing for another rug pull around all this, but kudos to Dario and co for their continued vigilance. Refreshing to see.

The article addresses this by making the point that prototypes != production. Arduino is great for prototyping (authors opinion; I have limited experience) but not for production-level manufacturing. LLMs are effectively (from this article&

A good point. I have a feeling once the dust settles most new jobs will be some form of teleoperation.

Excited to give this a try, looks really well done.

Imagine an OIDC type solution but for parents might work here. Basically, kids can sign up for an account triggering a notification to parents. The parent either approves or rejects the sign in. Parents can revoke on demand. See kids login

I think it has very little to do with the assistant factor and more to do with the loneliness factor (at least in the West, people are getting lonelier, not less). In other words: sell it to them as a friendly companion/assistant, play

This idea seems to be lost on a lot of people. It's a shame to see mastery (and by extension, quality) becoming an anachronism and frankly, terrifying. There's a certain hubris associated with all of this that seems to be blinding

I use Claude mostly, too, and I don't bother. I just hand design/build (html/css) the UI I want and then let the LLM fill in implementation details. Much better results as the LLM can't "see" the same way we do

Optimize for mediocrity, you get mediocrity. Optimize for quality, you get quality. Choose wisely.

You're literally downloading a bunch of stuff first just to do a first paint, versus just sending back already built and styled HTML/CSS. Not only is client-only technically slower, it's also perceptively slower.

Shockingly rare how few realize this. It's a series of mega cities interconnected by ghost towns out here.

Not for technical reasons, but because it enables the masses to flood the market with low-quality software. Eventually people just won't bother because there's too much junk to wade through (and no reliable method of curation&#x2F

This is great, thank you for sharing.

They were scanning BLE so any device using that protocol in range would be picked up. Similar to seeing your neighbor's Wi-Fi router from your couch.

No, because the goal isn't to make things work. The goal is to make money by appearing to make things work. People who actually know don't tend to take ridiculous sums of money just to go tinker for a few years—they just build the

The why is simple: "because we need the money." The idea is just a vehicle to get that money. Whether or not it works or makes sense is secondary to but does it make the children dream, pa-pa?

Naive, semi-related question: what is the state of stuff like Mistral when compared to OpenAI, Anthropic, etc? Could I reasonably use this to get LLM-capability privately on a machine (and get decent output), or is it still in the "yea
