Has anyone figured out an elegant way to add front-end design to a process like this? Every implementation I see people use includes either vague references to front-end frameworks, or figma images. It doesn't feel like a cohesive desi

this sounds like a lot of money for what is effectively a programmable desktop smart speaker with a camera? I'm seeing like $100 in BOM?

I used this to teach high school students. Probably not sufficient to get what you want, but it should get you off the ground and you can run from there. https://youtu.be/86FAWCzIe_4?si=buqdqREWASNPbMQy

I tried switching to this a few years ago, but switched back to Obsidian. My problem was actually the strongest feature: the VS Code integration. Only about a third of my note taking is related to software development, so for me going into

I like the concept, but I think a more reliable/less compute intensive way to implement it would be too use AI to call up non -AI data. I could just type in "some red beans and rice" and the LLM parses what I mean, and retrie

Depending on what this means it could be a big deal. There was always the catch 22 of authorization and agency sponsorship that the biggest players could YOLO and throw money at, but kept smaller less established companies out.

I'm a fan, and this is something I would use, but I would prefer a per-use or per-token payment option. That would get me to use it more often. As it stands, I might sign up for one or two months a year.

I used General Assembly to learn frontend web development about 5 years ago. It was a positive experience, the two types of people I saw succeed were 1. people with some kind of tech background already and 2. people who were really smart bu

I'm not OP, but George Hotz said in his lex friedman podcast a while back that it was an MoE of 8 250B. subtract out duplication of attention nodes, and you get something right around 1.8T

When it comes to layoffs, no one wants to be the first company to do it, and no one wants to be the last company to do it. Once a few of the industry leaders started doing it, it gave others top-cover to start the process. At this point the

I'll take the other side of this argument and point out: it probably took decades if not centuries to start using paper currency. Will crypto fail? Maybe. But to say that people building an alternate currency to the one we currently ha

Couple things stood out: 13.4% of companies see themselves as leaders in AI. I think people are probably being a bit ambitious with how much of a "leader" they are. 79% are using some form of OpenAI GPT. I get that that is the eas

Is it possible in the 21st century to have a city where artists all know to gather and make art together? I guess today the closest thing would be college towns? Or perhaps these cities still exist and I'm just not aware of them.

This is really helpful for me, the right level of example. I find most D3 examples to either be too simple or too complex, this nails the sweetspot of visually impressive, while still being practical.

What does "fine tuning" mean in this context? Does it mean you fine-tuned it on a specific code repository, or collection of code repositories and then had it do work in those repositories?

I had a similar situation in 2007. I was out of work for 5 months. I eventually got a low level IT job. Got a better job from there. Got another better job from there, and by 2015 I was an FTE at a FANGMA company. All you can do is muscle y

Are you getting good results when summarizing a human speaking? On my project, even though Whisper does a good job translating it, I'm not happy with the query results. My theory is that GPT-3 is designed for written word and the way p

This is a really important topic, and good that Vice is bringing it up now versus 5-10 years from now. I think they miss the more general point. It's clearly biased in its outputs, but the article dismisses this concern as "the en

Good point, I explained that poorly (sorry, was half paying attention to a conference call). I meant "pull back" as in reduce their number of instances, which would reduce their monthly spend.

One thing I have been wrong about for about 2 years is predicting companies would pull back from using the cloud. What I see in corporate AWS accounts is a lot of waste. I thought once companies started tightening spending they would look a

Been there. This happened about 3 years ago, it was also horribly blatant. We interviewed a candidate who blew us away, superior candidate, easy "yes" from everyone. then when he started, it became pretty clear within 2-ish weeks

Disclaimer: I was an early investor, and still "hodl" crypto, so I'm not without my bias. Dating a viable use case versus other tech depends on when you set the creation date. The internet wasn't commercially viable for
