I think most consumers would agree that this is the fairest model. If I pay for 30 days of Netflix, only charge me for the days I watch so then I feel like I'm using my entire purchase. The current SaaS model is like going to the store

You'd think so until you look into doing it yourself. It's more work than building a simple app.

I took the Andrew Ng Coursera machine learning course in 2015 and to this day I still remember him saying this in one of the videos. At the time he was talking about various versions/optimizations of gradient descent but he essentially

That's my understanding too. In fact, the hottest surface temperature recorded on Earth is much higher than the official temperature record because a surface gathers heat not only from air convection/conduction but direct radiatio

Similar to my experience coming from JS into WebGL. I always use a framework (currently Vite + React + TS). It helps keep code organized as your project grows (and it will). I don't think there's any overhead as the GPU processing

I try to follow this mantra on my website. I don't want user accounts so if you pay for something I email you a unique link to access it. No login and password and you can use a burner email address if you'd like. I don't car

Maybe the way to explain an LLM to the general public is to think of it as a child. The words that child learns and uses come somewhat from their parents. If the parents are fighting and saying f** and b**, the kid will learn those words. I

I think if people took the time to understand how LLMs choose word weights based on training data, they would understand that these results are somewhat deterministic. Instead, the preferred heuristic is to look for a bogeyman.

Is your motivation validation or learning? If it's learning, each day will be a win...even if your user metrics are trending downwards. If it's validation, your motivation will fluctuate with your traffic patterns.

I think subscriptions are a "dark pattern" on the web. Often they start after a free trial with minimal knowledge. This could be one category of subscriptions that are not cancelled. Personally on my projects I never auto-renew an

Very cool project. I learned WebGL three years ago but before I dove into the underlying concepts I used GPU.js [1] to quickly prototype my project. Eventually, the abstraction prevented necessary performance optimizations so I switched to
