Anecdotal, but Grok seems to have just introduced pretty restrictive rate limits. They’re now giving free users access to Grok 4 with a low limit and then making it difficult to manually switch to Grok 3 and continue. Will only allow a few

I’m sure it’s doable. I think you’d want to break it into a few discrete steps for the best quality. First process the book and identify key info like genre, tone, etc. Use that to determine the best voice(s) and reading style, assign actor

Anytype recently made a significant change to the way certain types of information are categorized and related-- which resulted in the "What's New" note you saw. That's just unfortunate timing on your part and was a one-

"If everything feels broken but strangely normal, the Soviet-era concept of hypernormalization can help. Hypernormalization is a heady, $10 word, but it captures the weird, dire atmosphere of the US in 2025. First articulated in 2005 b

Love the theme. Now if only Thunderbird weren’t a clunky POS. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve given it another chance after people swear “it’s really better now” again. Still refuses to follow chosen settings for how much mail data t

Meta buying their way into trends generally seems to pan out (WA, Insta, Oculus). Any reason to think this will be different? I’m not familiar with Scale but the particulars of this deal seem odd to me.

This is shameless "AI is not bad, we swear" propaganda. Study looked at 11 occupations, 25k workers, in Denmark, in 2023-2024. How this says anything of consequence for the world at large (or even just the US) with developments mo

The counter argument is that once art is released into the world, it becomes a conversation with the people consuming it and no longer belongs solely to the creator. I empathize with, and see the validity in, both sides.

Nearly all of the arguments here are easy to dismantle but I don't feel like arguing with a half-baked Substack post, so I'm not going to. Just want to highlight one element in particular that jumped out at me: "AI has nothin

Let me toss a grenade in here. What if we didn’t measure success by sales, but impact to the industry (or society), or value to peoples’ lives? Zooming out to AI broadly: what if we didn’t measure intelligence by (game-able, arguably meanin

Do you have any details on this? With a quick search I could only find some older attempts at rooting but no custom firmware.

I predict we’ll end up going full circle. AI is hot now and there’s perceived value in having answers just spoon-fed. But eventually, at least some people will want to explore contrasting takes, dig deeper to understand context, and so ther

If any Android interoperability happens, I doubt it will be because Google is encouraging or allowing it. They’ve refused to officially support Play Store apps on Meta HW, intentionally released the most barebones versions of their products

There are people in the government who know exactly what these are, and why they are not threatening. I assume the vague non-response is because if they reveal this information, the very next question is “how do you know this”? And the answ

This is partially a business issue; there’s a lot of money exchanging hands to push specific artists and the major labels are obviously the primary beneficiaries. This affects everything from playlist placement, recommendations, search resu

The difference here is that these aren't standard-issue HR/legal issues. The technology they're working on poses the gravest of dangers. This is uncharted territory, not just for the tech sector, but period. Whether the recen
