    It is more than just books published pre-2022, but I've noticed that it is necessary to buy books __printed__ before 2022. Recently I've noticed aggressive misspellings and misquot…

    Wow - Google paid a couple billion dollars to bring Noam back. Really impressive by OAI if this reporting is accurate!

    Yeah I know some of my team members have invested a lot of time in this. Could definitely be worth chatting with them on what improvements could be made here. We're starting to dep…

    I'm curious who the ideal customer of this should be. If we're a startup with our own harness, are we a good fit? What would qualify us or disqualify us from being a good user?

    This is like saying - 'I don't understand why anybody would ever buy a pizza from a store. All you have to do is get some flour, water, tomato sauce, cheese, mix the flour and wate…

    Sorry, I think you mean abiding*. But laws are not some moral edicts handed down by god. They can and often are wrong or seriously misguided. Laws can and should be broken if and o…

    Holy shit this is horrible. It really shows the true cost of having a disciplined public society. People love to hate on SF, and the homelessness. But I think it’s a society that p…

    Stripe Dashboard Down

    I asked claude to decipher this and it refused. I asked gemini and it was permissible. Very interesting to see ROT-13 banned via Anthropic as a 'prompt injection' risk.

    Anecdotes __are__ data. How much weight you ascribe to it as being representative is different. But you cannot disqualify it as 'not data'. It is usually a leading indicator of wha…
