I have been considering this. I bought a Macbook Air in the interm waiting to see what the Macbook Ultra looks like, but honestly—it's the best form factor ever. I love it! Even though it's only like a pound heavier, the Pro feels

Yeah, I think most people here don't realize how far most of the population is on the adoption curve with this stuff. I had a discovery call last week with someone who did not realize he could use ChatGPT for work. It was a revelation

Honestly, given the price 5.6 Luna is pretty fantastic. I replaced GPT 4.1 mini in several projects. It's also 50% cheaper if you only need it to run sometime in the next 24 hours.

Agree. The problem is over extended lengths of time the people with the skills to make these things—or make tools that make them—will leave the workforce. That's how this goes from being a market issue to a skill issue.

I've done the exact same. I frequently take walks and walk places and often used that time for an audio book or podcast. A zen revelation has been taking these walks and not bringing my phone. It's my daily meditation.

Honestly, I'm pretty bullish on Apple and AI. I think there move is in local, open source models. These are getting better and better for generic ChatGPT—type tasks. I'm kind of waiting for Apple to ship their own Ollama. And it&#

Well, this guy isn't training models in his basement—if that's what you're looking for? I think the point of this article is that AI enables people to do so much more? Much of marketing is creating engaging content and AI al

On one hand this is so impressive. On the other it seems like a company selling drugs or medical services using misleading/generated photos and reviews is not great and extremely risky. This must largely be going into testing and gener

I've often thought along similar lines. I've found that indecision is almost always worse than a bad one. Very few choices are so decisive that you can't course-correct later. That mindset has served me well both personally a

Not this community's opinion on agents, but I've found it helpful to check the lmarena leaderboards occasionally. Your comment prompted me to take a look for the first time in a while. Kind of surprising to see models like MiniMax

Man, I could see the next Total Annihilation / Supreme Commander-like game where rough orders/instructions are given to commanders and they carry out those commands. The scale of those games was already nuts, but that would 10x th

12-step programs do treat the underlying illness—fear, resentment and negative coping mechanisms for dealing with those things. That’s why basically all 12-step and addiction-recovery programs are the same. Life is hard. People fall back on

Alcohol in AA is viewed as an allergy—a lifelong illness. Someone may have recovered and dealt with their fears and resentments. That doesn’t mean they won’t slip back into negative coping mechanisms though. For an alcoholic, it takes vigil

Honestly, the JIRA example points out one of the main cases where I'm not exactly sure how to replace a toast. You don't have to be on the board to create a ticket in JIRA—so it may not be obvious in context. I understand there ar
