I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Any dense, non-perishable store of value will be eventually used in this way.

I think most people when they hear "high-end watch" picture some sort of mechanical jewelry watch. When G-shocks, Garmins, and Apple Watches are a few hundred dollars and well-known luxury watch brands start at a few thousand, it&

Adderall (amphetamine) is a very effective decongestant. And it helps you get more work done!

Cool! I'm guessing no traffic data in organic maps? I'd still install it to use as a backup.

I try not to context switch when doing agentic programming. Instead, I use a single agent thread (in pi) and pay extra for faster inference (GLM 5.2 from fireworks.ai, currently; around 100 tokens per second). I rarely spend more than $25 p

Yeah that’s a huge difference. I don’t think I want to interactively use any model with 18 tps.

I wasn't really telling them to shut up. I agree with most of their points, but there's a sense of helplessness in the writing that I don't like. I see some of my friends do this and it doesn't feel like purposeful, effe

Does it make people feel better to write articles like this? I feel like we all know this stuff already. Figure out how to make more money, or how to be happy with less, or go live somewhere else. (I’ve done all three, at various points.) W

There’s nothing wrong with your way, it’s just a different lifestyle based on how dense of a community you live in. People living in apartments in dense cities don’t have room for a whole cow in their apartment, but there’s probably a few g

Somehow Costco managed to get their store right in the middle of downtown Vancouver. They put it under some condo towers.

The bandwidth argument is compelling, do we have benchmarks for these models? I’m curious what it translates to in tokens per second

I’m sure the car manufacturers would much prefer if you updated your car as often as you do your phone.

So you’re saying that even millennials are being rejected? Rather than this age group in particular being more likely to be rejected?

> millenials' CVs are written off in recruitment pipelines I think you've got something wrong here, "millennials" refers to people currently between 30 and 45 and are surely the least likely to be discriminated base

What great writing. I should go read more of his stuff. I’m definitely borrowing the phrase “galloping neurosis” the next chance I get.

I don’t think I have a slavemaster. I work with friends on a project which helps people and makes us enough money to live off of. Maybe the capitalists who funded our project are the slavemasters, in your worldview? Maybe I am the slavema

Idk, I think lots of middle managers wrote this way before LLMs.

I don’t understand how these things still write so annoyingly. Eliminating just a handful of tells would make a big difference.

Wow, a whole book written in the style of a self-promoting ChatGPT-generated LinkedIn post! Real leaders don’t describe themselves as “leaders” ten times in as many paragraphs. The self-aggrandizement in describing your corporate career rea

No, I didn't say those things. I'm not the person you were replying to. But I do think that trying to create fear and uncertainty around open source in order to neutralize the competitive threat is potentially an evil (or at least

Just like Nestlé had strategies to deal with the "competitive threat" of women breastfeeding their children instead of buying formula products. How could it be evil if it's just a corporation moving to neutralize a threat? h

I also wouldn't reduce a human to a "worker". Perhaps your relationship with the world is that you reluctantly labour so that you have money which you can exchange for the things that you want. Many people relate to the world

I assume that if this catches on then the agents will have their own wallets and deduct fees from your account credit, just like with API-based usage. So the way you interact with them won't change, from your POV they'll just get

We have nice art, though. And pretty old towns. We are well-positioned to be a Disneyland for the Chinese.

Justin Vernon disappeared to a cabin in Wisconsin for months, where he wrote and recorded one of the greatest and most popular folk rock albums of all time.
