The new Alexa uses Claude under the hood, and it also misinterprets my intent, only with a 2 second longer delay and slightly more approachable tone.

Everyone has their own hill to die on, that's the thing about personal computing. It's the same if you ask why they can't switch mobile OS. It's some seemingly trivial app or feature that almost nobody cares about.

They support their phones for years longer than any vendor. This has been widely understood for probably 10+ years at this point. There's plenty of room for criticism without a blanket conspiracy that doesn't match what most can o

I was really looking for tangible, actionable advice since I'm facing slow adoption in my org. This post seems to hide behind the "secret sauce" that it claims made all of the difference.

Once local models are good enough there will be a $20 cloud provider that can give you more context, parameters, and t/s than you could dream of at home. This is true today with services like groq.

That was how I read it as well, as if it had a built-in lambda type service in the cloud. If we're just talking about some API support to call python scripts, that's pretty basic to wire up with any model that supports tool use.

The outage forced me to use the free Amazon Music service that comes with my Amazon Prime subscription. It has many of the annoyances that come with its video services, including ever-present up-sells and muddiness around what's availa

I recently gave this another go, and was pleasantly surprised that I could install Steam easily, the nVidia card was detected and driver installed, and I quickly installed the "Resident Evil 4" remake with awesome performance and

Modern captchas use a number of tools including many of the approaches you mentioned. This why you might sometimes see a CloudFlare "I am not a robot" checkbox that checks itself and moves along before you have much time to even r

I see two issues, let's say "opportunities": First is the limitation to one hue value. Something like the Sunflower (blue + yellow) is just yellow. Maybe there's a tradeoff that could pack more hue but with less luminesc

I don't see it. Composio is a tool to help integration of LLM tool calling / MCPs. It really helped me streamline setting up some MCPs with Claude desktop. I don't see how pushing Gemini would help their business beyond encou

But something comparable to a local hosted model in the 32-70b range costs pennies on the dollar compared to Claude, will be 50x faster than your gpu, and with a much larger context window. Local hosting on GPU only really makes sense if yo

You may find it interesting that DFW has a nesting pair of eagles that got blown down in a storm and stuck around. What's doubly interesting is that the same area has flocks of parrots that are also thriving.

If debt/deficit reduction was the goal we wouldn't see tax cuts on the rich, gutting the IRS, and teases of $5k rebate checks.

This relates to another issue of using people's public github as a hiring signal. I don't share any of these repos because at a glance the code is ugly, broken, incomplete. Below the surface, I'm probably scratching a very in

Only if the Peter Principal is in effect. As a manager they would be uniquely positioned to scope and assess the prep work. With a bit of mentoring they might "get it" sooner, rather than "eventually".

A new tool like this comes out every week, and that's great! But I think it's fair to ask how this compares to popular ones like RepoMix? Anyone keeping an eye on this space will want to know why this is different from what's

Most of these new models release several variants, typically in the 8b, 30b, and 70b range for personal use. YMMV with each, but you usually use the models that fit your hardware, and the models keep getting better even in the same paramete

Today I'm using 2x 3090's which are over 4 years old at this point and still very usable. To get 48gb vram I would need 3x 5070ti - still over $2k. In 4 years, you'll be able to combine 2 of these to get 256gb unified memory.

I have to disagree - the baseline models satisfy the needs of many casual consumers and the price point puts it within their reach. For $600, most of us could give this to our parents and it would be great for 7-10 years. For those who need

The mobile component library was entirely Chinese when I used it 3-5 years ago. You could still build responsive webapps using the standard components with English docs, though.

I'd be curious to know more about how this is done in games. I have noticed that if you get up close to the surface of a car in a lot of modern racing games it has a very noisy/sparkly shader. I know some paint does look like this

Bastl had a similar product called the OMSYNTH. They demoed a eurorack upgrade several years ago but never released it.
