    In fact it came out as the absolute best in a comparison by Tencent (1). See table 4. It’s more than a year old though. 1. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.09101

    For sure high end perfumes are high margin products. Can’t be a lot of cost in producing a $100 perfume. But I also feel like it’s a bit besides the point. Seeing pallet after pall…

    My dad worked at a logistics facility, the amount of perfume he took home was ridiculous - and you’d think that something like perfume would never go stale. It does from a brand pe…

    Of course there is. It’s not about the _amount_ of files or how many percent of them. I might have 1000 files that I’m fine having the LLM read and then some that it really shouldn…

    There’s a hell of a difference between a tool that asks my permission to read a file to make it part of a prompt and a tool that packages up my whole working directory and sends it…

    The things you allow the LLM to read will obviously be sent as part of a prompt. You can control that though. Reads are tool calls and you can configure permissions for that or be …

    No I disagree. A harness reading a file is a tool call and it happens locally, which means that I can control it. I can configure that I need to permit any file reads and now I _sh…

    This was posted on HN yesterday: https://gist.github.com/cereblab/dc9a40bc26120f4540e4e09b75f... If it’s to be trusted, it has nothing to do with the “agent” or what’s sent to the …

    I have a last name that only my family holds in Denmark (which means me and my brother by now), yet it managed to tag me a Professional Football Player, MP for the Socialist Party …

    Why _too_ late? Late, yes, but you’re implying that some line was crossed.

    I run a SaaS business on the side of my job and have been for 15 years. There’s a million questions I’ve never had the time to dig into although the data was there. Retention cohor…

    That’s how I’d want it to be honestly. LLMs are tools and I’d hope we’re going to keep the people using them responsible. Just like any other tools we use.

    I’ve been involved in building a system that reads structured data from a special form of contracts from a specific industry. Prices, clauses, pick up, delivery, etc. A couple hund…

    Agreed. I’ve used their platform to train smaller, specialized models. Something I could have done in Codelab or some other tool, but their platform allows me to just upload a trai…

    I saw the cost of the three downed planes somewhere else and thought the price was huge. Now I see that it’s comparable to “First Tomahawk salvo”.

    Yea it wasn’t meant as a counter argument either. To be honest I haven’t even looked at competitors for some years. I guess one drawback of using third-parties for such a big part …

    I find Stripes fees excessive too, but I don’t think I’ll ever switch. I’ve been running a small SaaS product on the side of other work for >15 years and if it taught me one thing,…

    I very much appreciate this take. I will say though that I’ve had experience myself where using coding agents lead me to what I’d consider (in your terminology) a better mapping be…

    I use Tidewave as my coding agent and it’s able to execute code in the runtime. I believe it’s using Code.eval_string/3, but you should be able to check the implementation. It’s th…

    It depends where I look. Among colleagues and tech-native friends, I feel like there’s healthy skepticism as well as the excitement about new tech. On the other hand, all the inves…

    And if you make someone 3x faster at producing a report that 100 people has to read, but it now takes 10% longer to read and understand, you’ve lost overall value.

    Hey. thanks! The API doesn't actually use name sets like that. Though that was my first approach. I changed it to use lists of profiles from social networks. So when a name is requ…

    Hey Dillon. It only found one match for "Dillon" in the dataset, which was a male. If Dillon is gender neutral the probability will probably change into some decimal when the datas…

    Thanks a lot. I'll look into this. Regarding missing names. I'm adding around 10.000 profiles a day to the dataset. So it get's better by the minute :) Not that huge a dataset yet.…
