You don't need/use pitbulls, but what if you (and many many others) wanted and needed Fable? I for one was late to the bandwagon, and when I had the use-case for it - the govt pulled the rug. So yeah, I'm a bit salty about th

As an extension to this, in this world - most typical things humans need for survival will be made extremely cheap and abundant. Universal income would give every individual the means to afford them. Every person on earth (or at least in ce

I have been discussing a similar thought experiment in private circles for about 3 years now. It goes like this: If the world population hits a ceiling (or starts to shrink), and corporations get more massive - reaching every citizen on ear

I believe this was the point they’re making. > Turns out, the friction I felt around picking one thing may have actually been beneficial. Perhaps it was actually helping me stay focused. Even if it cost just a bit of extra time before I

I have brown eyes, still hurts to drive at night. Canadian situation is just as bad as our neighbours down south. Now I long for the days of being blinded by yellow headlamps again.

This is actually a good thing. Google's official mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Now if that information is BS and cannot be relied upon, that’s really bad.

I love this term - I think it beautifully describes the direction that at least, YouTube is heading towards. Take for example, this racket where a channel copies popular (non-kids) creators’ parody work, splits the screen in half with the c

It’s exceptionally fast at it too. I love using it for looking up things where recency matters.

0.1% is within margin of error. Depending on the performance boost, it might be worthwhile taking a minuscule quality hit.

I think it’s meant as “for the first time in history..”. Not today in particular, but as a milestone.

I was commenting specifically on this bit: > Once the chip shortage from AI datacenters bubble pops, we could see even better SoCs from Intel, AMD, and even Qualcomm and Nvidia could join the ARM laptop battle in a serious way. EPYC (the

FYI - DeepSeek has NOT announced its own coding platform. That app is an independent project. It says so in the footer as well: “Independent open-source project · not affiliated with DeepSeek”

The (memory) chip shortage saga is not going away for a few years. Most fabs are going to be capacity starved. Apple will happily pony up billions to TSMC to set up a new plant in exchange for exclusive capacity. No other laptop manufacture

> “Until now, it has been available for free on both Windows and Linux” If it’s any consolation, it wasn’t and still isn’t available on macOS. Also the part about Linux having a “small user base” made me chuckle. That’s the opposite of w

It’s intuitive in the same way Ruby is intuitive, or C, yes, C, is intuitive. They try to give you the vocabulary to be expressive, then get the hell out of your way. You can still shoot yourself in the foot with them, of course. I think th

I think their target audience is medium to large enterprises. The biggest tell tale sign of that is a missing Pricing page. Most of these customers would already know the meaning of RPA, if they are researching companies for it. In a way, i

Yes! It is hands-down, the most intuitive interface, that has successfully married declarative and imperative styles together. IMO, nothing comes close to JSX across the length and breadth of UI frameworks across all languages.

Wow. The only way I can describe this is as a bastard child of Apple and Rolls-Royce, and therein lies the problem. This doesn't feel like a Ferrari to me. Someone getting into a Ferrari wants to feel like they're trying to tame a

Truly incredible! Very impressed by their progress. I wonder how much of their own chips did they use for training.

This is the right move but I don’t know if I am ready to try them again. I am still bitter from the significantly reduced quotas, even on Ultra, their highest tier. Claude became unusable for me. It would be much better if they just gave up

No, that’s not the point. I think this is to help people who are thinking about getting a beefier Mac so they can run their LLMs on it too. Some in particular want a dedicated Mac Mini or Studio for this purpose. The breakdown, even if slig

I have respect for Mitchel and I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to think of ways to justify his message. I can’t. Either I am missing a big piece or he is worrying about something that comes naturally as more software gets developed (a

Fixing a bug in something open-source should be acceptable to most employers. However, if new functionality is being added, then it becomes an entirely different conversation. I think it is good that you were taking the legal + compliance s

If you put the typical knee jerk reaction aside, the article is a pretty good read on where things are headed. Particularly interesting is their gut feel around problems requiring deep technical knowledge multiplying and the talent that can

UPDATE: This would make for an excellent case study if you don’t mind sharing the details. I am very curious about the number of agents, hours it took, and models used (did you use Mythos?). This would not have been possible 5 years ago. LL

Easier than you think to get started, but harder than you think to turn into something truly usable that isn’t a toy of an experiment.

Read “Linux Foundation” in the article and it made me chuckle. Didn’t expect them to solve this problem.
