I think the AI companies are so motivated (desperate) it just puts all the existing rules and contracts at risk. The Apple supply chain has always had aggressive contracts and commitments... for normal times.

Well, I think from the technology side, the performance and capacity you can get in a personal computer (especially a laptop) is absolutely incredible. It's just component suppl and that supply is being eaten up and re-diverted to data

counterpoint: I have an EV that I never drive more than 77 miles a day and I paid over $70k for it. Top speed would definitely be a limiting factor, but I do think there's a huge gap in the mobility market between e-bike and a traditio

I’m actually amazed at the output since GLM doesn’t have eyes. If GLM 5.2 costs 1/5 as much, seems like it could be set up to reach out to a multimodal model for vision tasks when required. Closer to parity but probably still significa

For the curious, it looks like a PC with a RTX 5090 32GB graphics card will run you about $6,000.

I always imagine the model rolling its silicon eyes when it’s assigned a personality (“you are an expert growth hacker”) at the start of the prompt. Was that ever actually shown to be effective? Is it still?

I'm SO tired of subscription services that only offer the opportunity to buy more stuff. - Doordash wants you to subscribe - AMC movies want you to subscribe - Now Waymo wants you to subscribe You can't buy anything now

Anthropic seems to agree with you as more recent Claude updates have it just building task specific harnesses as needed.

I fear it's a smokescreen to manage cost and capacity.

I'm interested in how it feels to use: whether there is any context leaking, as you mentioned, if it introduces latency, and whether there are any pricing implications? I know they weighed a variety of factors, including the smaller mo

I don’t know. Give me a 94x multiple and I can make any financial deal look brilliant. I think a better word is just opportunistic.

Ok, not my favorite narrative, but assume asymmetric application of intellectual property rights was a big factor. Wouldn't the US exploiting asymmetric labor wages, rights, and conditions be the even bigger story? It still feels like

It feels like the US for years has operated under the assumption that homeostasis for the global economy would always be “designed in California, assembled in China.” Like there was something in the American DNA that was lacking in China an

I agree with the hard part being managing state, especially environments and ports. I've never used lsof so much in my life. Question on Remote Workspace: Can the remote machine port forward so I can use a browser to see / test cu

It’s my daily browser. Small glitches occasionally and can lag chrome releases, but the best absolute non-adware browser with powerful features. I have it configured to be ultra minimal with the look of Arc that I loved.

Have always said community solar programs are the way to do residential solar. In those programs, you pay for and own off-site solar panels, then the energy they produce is credited to your electric bill. They end up installed at commercial

Yes! My son who has autism would eat anything we put in front of him until age 3, when his weight, appetite and health suddenly and alarmingly crashed. Ever since that episode, he's had a much more restrictive diet and food preferenc

Also reads like the paid placement of some sort of mobile phone or streaming bundle.

Look I'm speaking here as a career designer: I think design as a "signaling function" for determining the quality of a thing was already broken. It was already possible to put up an impressive-looking site for anything; alrea

I know for most people that the big surprise here is sustained search ad revenue in the face of AI. But I’m super curious on margins because I thought for sure offering so much free AI inference would be so insanely expensive it harmed marg

Conjecture, but the wording "limited subset" rarely turns out to be good news. Usually a provider will say "less than 1% of our users" or some specific number when they can to ease concerns. My guess is they don't h

I've been part of a response team on a security incident and I really feel for them. However, this initial communication is terrible. Something happened, we won't say what, but it was severe enough to notify law enforcement. What

Given the same inputs but not provided the results (output) from our accountant, did it come to the same conclusions or have good analysis as to why it differed? Obviously, accounting is "spreadsheet math" intensive, so Claude wro

On the subject of metrics, better user-facing metrics to understand and debug usage patterns would be a great addition. I'd love an easier way to understand the ave cost incurred by a specific skill, for example. (If I'm missing s

My taxes are rather complex, so I ran the same exercise to see if Claude agreed with my accountant. An automated second opinion, so to speak. Spent about 6 minutes analyzing all the PDFs and basically nailed it perfectly in one shot. My onl

Also with this approach, you actually have a real collection and it's fun to collect things. My son has autism and viewed his Netflix homepage as his personal curated collection. But then, of course, Netflix renegotiates licensing deal

There are some easy optimizations wins for this page but none of the top ones are framework related. Maybe with the faster build times they can easily optimize images and 3rd party dependencies. As someone else pointed out, nearly half that

Question: since they've rebooted their approach to AI... have they given up on open models? There's no mention of open source or open weights or access to the models beyond their hosted services.
