I felt the opposite, because Python isn’t a great language. It won because of Google, fast prototyping, and its ML interop (e.g. pandas, numpy), but as a language it’s always been subpar. Indentation is a horrible decision (there’s a reason

Yeah I mean the US has gotten tough on, like, foreign interference in elections and cyber security, but if you have the Chinese state behind you—which they absolutely do and as an observer, obviously, they have to—no company can stop them.

The Chinese models should stay close on a lag. They’re doing a ton of distillation that, realistically, I’m not sure the American frontiers can stop.

Relatedly, the book Vagina Obscura talks about women’s anatomy as a battle between the baby (wants as many resources as possible) and the mother (doesn’t want to die from what is, essentially, a parasite.) Fascinating mental shift to explai

Kind of like JQuery. I know why it was such an incredible library and am happy no new devs I work with (a) know what it is (b) understand why it was necessary. Thank god the underlying language, libraries, and browser support have moved f

If you’re implying it is through the rectum, you’ve definitely got some bio to brush up on. The small intestine alone is >20ft long.

In my experience, Claude is more than happy to go to Unix tools rather than write its own. Sometimes it will write a lil python script to solve something, but more often than not it’ll pipe together Unix utilities. This has the benefit of i

I think if you polled people donating, over 99.9% wouldn’t guess that it’s going to late-teens in a religious organization flying to Israel. I don’t even know that the 1/1000th person would guess. You can’t hear the ads + see the billb

Same as anything else. It’ll go down sometimes, people will take a break and chat, then it will come back up. Like Slack or GitHub or AWS or whatever. It’s almost always a net positive to wait vs do it yourself.

I'm not blindly spending money? I'm doing research for specific items. I then research the brands, the materials, the makers, etc. Yes, this is more than most will do, but I'm definitely not giving it my payment info or tru

I’ve shopped with Claude a few times in the past month alone. It’s really quite good at finding brands I wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s amazing how confident you are while being completely wrong. A pristine internet rant.

I don’t think it’s for free. There are ads in (free) Gmail, they harvest your data, and then the paid accounts are, well, paid.

Not who you’re replying for but I can give some thoughts. For anything math, it’s much more reliable to give agents tools. So if you want to verify that your real estate offer is in the 90–95th percentile of offerings in the past three mont

You’re advocating for less competition? AI startup valuations are out of control. People are raising $20m seed rounds. If you can’t prove PMF and differentiation with $10m, I’m sorry but you’re not a serious enterprise. And if what you’re b

I think if you ask something generic like “shoes”, this could be true. When I’ve worked with Claude on finding brands for fashion (e.g. here’s a small watchmaker I like, what are similar options?) it does research and picks great options. S

You can, but it’s easier to convince them to want something that they don’t need or is actively harmful.
