I will as soon as I see any of them gobble up a smothered burrito or Chicago pizza on their run. Do we really want to compare ultramarathon runners with couch potatoes?

Was also interested and a quick search for "human fat cells turnover time years" returned a few research papers that quote 10% a year.

I got confused, so to clarify to myself and others - codex is open source, claude code isn't, and the referenced decompilation tweets are for claude code.

In case it wasn't clear, I'm using "OCR" in my comment above for "reading and interpreting textual documents provided as images", not as a reference to a specific tech such as Tesseract. In the app, I am, in fa

Many libraries with the same approach suffer the same flaw: can't easily use the same function with different LLMs at runtime (ie. after importing the module where it is defined). I initially used the same approach in my library, but c

I use (and pay for) Kagi. Even without much customization (lenses, scoring, etc) it's so much better (for my use cases) I happily pay for it. Recently I have also started to use Perplexity more for "research for a few minutes and

At least in my corner of the EU woods, Microsoft is so ingrained in government processes (at all levels) that it's nigh impossible to remove. It would take an EU directive pushing "open source or EU sourced" down our govt&#x2

Regular companies aren't given $1m they don't have to pay back. They have to get loans and founders are usually on the hook if the venture fails. This is different from what the article advocates.

I do like the idea in general and feel there's a lot of room for improvement between the (VC / bootstrapping) extremes. However, the middle path from the article presumes the existence of VCs willing to join you on that path. The

My problem with LangChain (aside from dubious API choices, some a legacy of when it first started) is that now it's a marketing tool for LangGraph Platform and LangSmith. Their docs (incl. getting started tutorials) are content marketi

Looks lovely! I hate how much effort goes into app/web design that ends up rearranging the boxes while the whole stuff still looks bland, corporate, mass market, no risk, safe, BORING. It would spark joy to use an app like this. Defini

The book the show is based on / related to, When heavens went on sale (by Ashlee Vance) is well worth a read, as are Liftoff and Reentry (by Eric Berger).

That sounds like v1 was "tool calls llm", while v2 is "llm calls tool"? The fact that the tool call is via mcp and not in-process function call seems to be an implementation detail?

This is great news. There's a big ecosystem growing around MCP but it was hindered by the fact that only Anthropic had first-party (official) support. Now that OpenAI is on the bandwagon (at least somewhat), I can see others joining as

I love the work (and the direction) the Karlsruhe team did on L4Ka, especially with Pistachio - the design was clean, simple, easy to grasp. I did a Pistachio-based OS for my diploma thesis (not at Karlsruhe). I always thought that if I&#x2
