I'm in the same boat. I look at graphs of traffic generated by my server logs just to get a general sense, but analytics and user-level data? Honestly 99.99% of blogs don't even generate a sufficient volume of traffic to analyze.

Third party photo app developer here. You're right, it's crazy that it's basically all or nothing. Apple actually has a great API for selecting a single photo in a privacy-respecting way which does not give the developer acce

It's an interesting tech demo—I think one interesting use case for AI rendering is changing the style on the fly. For example, a certain power-up could change the look to a hyper-saturated comic book style. Definitely achievable with t

There’s still a stigma. I think people are worried that if it gets out that their startup was built with the help of an LLM, they’ll lose customers who don’t want to pay for something “vibe coded.” Honestly I don’t think customers care.

If you read my comment, I agree with you; the AI bubble is going to burst, and AI companies will go out of business. And yet, AI will be more important than ever 10-15 years from now. Just because the bubble is going to burst does not m

Exactly—it's going to be the same this time. That's how bubbles do. What I'm trying to express is that when people say "AI is a bubble," the don't understand that AI will actually survive that bubble, even if m

Yeah, not a thing. You can short a stock long-term, but that's an easy way to become insolvent.

Yeah, LLMs have honestly made ffmpeg usable for me, for the first time. The difficulty in constructing commands is not really ffmpeg's fault—it's just an artifact of the power of the tool and the difficulties in shoehorning that p

Nice in theory, but I once made a throwaway prototype which the client used as the foundation for their mobile app. It was translated into 26 languages and deployed across the globe. I had to work with their mobile engineers who asked why s

I had an experience recently where the chatbot gathered details about my problem, but then referred me to a knowledgebase article. I just replied "human" and it connected me with a human, but the AI must have given them a detailed

Not every revolution is about sharing information. I have plenty of healthy skepticism of companies adding "AI sauce" to everything, but if you can't see the genuine utility of LLMs, it might just be a failure of imagination.

The AI wave is so reminiscent of the early days of the internet. Right now we're in about 1999, a time of tremendous hype. Business that weren't even in tech were wondering how much they need to know about the HTTP spec. People fr

Even more broadly, it's "critical thinking," which definitely seems to be on the decline (though I'm sure old people have said this for millennia)

The problem with this kind of detailed long-term planning is that you won’t possibly be able to reverse engineer the exact path you’re going to take. And if you get too attached to your bullet points, lists, charts and graphs, you don’t kno

Yeah, I saw that, it's still just wild. I guess "YOLO" is one response to the difficulties of securing endpoints.

It does sound good (especially as an Illinois resident). Luckily, as far as I can tell, this is a proactive legislation. I don't think there are any startups out there promoting their LLM-based chatbot as a replacement for a therapist,
