I'm drug discovery and the FDA absolutely _does_ keep all the crazies in check. Many people died during that golden age, and don't forget that the same golden age produced many of the problems we're drowning in / trying

as an average joe, I'm curious about how all this works / what else you need to make it work (what's a banking partner, etc?)

I love jsonlines but csvs are way more compact, since you don't have to repeat the column name for every line of data

oh yeah that's like a joke by now... I just think of it as "subsidizing R2 and all the other things that are inexplicably free"

didn't know you could place CF Images + Worker in front of R2, would love to know how you did that + what the benefits are. I've been serving images from Workers + R2 and it's great. I don't deal w/ lots of images t

there are way too many horrific things in the world to learn about... and then realizing you can't do something about every of those things. But at least you can tackle one of them! (In my case, antibiotic resistance)

I think it's heavily quantized, so it doesn't cost them (too much). But I think it's still at cost...

even places like Christchurch are hampered by building codes that drive up building costs. It's a real thing

I have no insight, but I always wondered what happens to the $100k+ domains that VC-funded startups buy and then go bust. Do they sell them at a bargain?

weird nitpick — they keep mentioning LMM, but do they mean LLMs?

Wow. When I was in Sydney I was surprised at how many protests around there were about Julian Assange... didn't really understand why they cared about him or the US. Guess that worked?

I just used Groq / llama-7b to classify 20,000 rows of Google sheets data (Sidebar archive links) that would have taken me way longer... Every one I've spot checked right now has been correct, and I might write another checker to

I've been a long, long-time reader of Sidebar, and it's bittersweet that Sacha is taking a break, but he deserves it. In case Sacha decides to shut it down completely, I've archived Sidebar in this Google Sheet: https:/

I think changing the title to "Not monitoring our ChatGPT calls costed us $10k" would make it stronger. Adding monitoring is the last thing you think about when pushing out a prototype, and it's easy to forget that a "pr

Being a critic / writing critique for a newspaper is one of the very original ways to create content fluff, a hundred years before social media was ever invented. It's always much easier to be a critic than to actually do the work

I just signed up for the PPLX API and it surprisingly doesn't do internet searches... It just has slightly more recent info than GPT-4. Try searching for "Weather in [your city]" and compare it to Google or any weather app. I

That's a lot of words from someone who doesn't seem to have tried using these tools yet? The Hype is smoke and mirrors, but there are tons of real use cases where things were MUCH easier than before. Things like text to speech or

it's just really nice abstractions that makes everything nicer. But it doesn't offer anything new that you couldn't build yourself

as a "mere user" of the JS or API endpoints, should I think one is better than the other? To me it doesn't really matter if it's Supabase/Neon, Turso, or D1 powering it as long as... it works Is this faster / m

That pricing is quite "less generous" than Turso: https://turso.tech/pricing I'm wondering what accounts for the difference; is Turso just bleeding money on smaller tiers, etc?

For reading sheets, it's better to use the "share as CSV" option since that gets cached pretty well w/o limits

Right, it's like Photoshop shilling itself as "over 1bn builds!" Well obviously, it's probably actually infinite number of things you can do with it. That... should not really be a selling point.
