There is a well known problem in the Netherlands where scammers will set up fake museum websites, like “vangoghtickets.co”. They don’t even collect the money - your card details are instantly stolen and used for some odd looking purchases i

Opus 5 at low effort is quite good at most tasks, and will go a long way even on the base plan. At higher thinking levels it is unbearably cautious and verbose - it drives me mad. I don’t have a use for Fable at current prices. My current g

Your mistake is assuming “people” wrote this.

5G outperforms wifi in crowded situations. With wifi you get increasing collisions and backoff intervals until everything stalls; with 5G you just get less bandwidth (time sliced) but no collisions, and its frequency spectrum is free of int

One theory is that they start serving at full precision, then quantize to save on costs as adoption grows. It's kind of a conspiracy theory atm, but I have definitely felt it - I had a large project done on Opus 4.8 release day, a week

"Not really news" that a model from a smaller lab can beat weeks-old Fable 5.1 at 70% lower cost? What a time to be living in.

I assume having Kotlin and Jetpack Compose makes it much easier than it was back around 2020?

It was a great whiteboarding tool for teams. Planning, research, meetings, standups etc. IMO they tried to cater to too many use cases at once, missed the AI train, and focused too hard on enterprise, which hurt the product a lot.

Those (rare) occasions are when you rent a car. You can do it many times per year before it becomes a financially worse option.

Does that skew really matter? Nearly all of those conditions are avoided by autonomous vehicles.

Apple trying to make presenters 'act professionaly' is the problem, not the solution. Somehow it worked pre Apple campus?

The 16 was a significant downgrade in quality due to over-processing. The hardware is actually improving, you just unfortunately need to use a third-party app to get access to the raw photos.

As someone whose hearing has been degrading fast, this sounds like a feature that would be immensely useful. At some point you get tired of asking everyone to repeat themselves and start guessing by context (you've probably seen an old

These models are open-weights. Anyone can host them, you don’t have to use chinese servers even though most of them offer zero data-retention policies.

The main problem here is that a model that wildly fluctuates with 60% - 100% - 80% results will have the same wilson score as one that repeatedly scores 80% - 80% - 80%. So the 'confidence interval' bar is meaningless. I'm no

The first few graphs are impressive, it does a much tidier job. The Go queue one is objectively worse - the other versions keep services and users grouped together, as well as a left-to-right flow. The TALA version makes it look more compli
