I think what you're missing is that there are new open source projects being created at a very fast rate. But that doesn’t mean they stick. And the core issue isn’t AI, it’s that… …

I don’t really know how these training runs operate in reality. But I assume it’s using a lot of raw GPU power directly. It’s hard for me to visualize how exactly you’d go about co…

Not saying you’re wrong, but I think the bigger issue is how easy it seems to be for models to hack companies, even ones with generally ok security. Most tech companies are not doi…

It’s interesting. Growing up, my small town of ~4000 had a local newspaper. It doesn’t exist anymore, as of 5-10 years ago. I think many less populated areas did have some independ…

macOS is quirky and sometimes limited, but to be honest gets out of your way for the most part. Windows is actively hostile to me in numerous ways. Linux is incredible in its depth…

1. There is not much money in making a good editor. 2. There is money in AI products, and a huge demand for solid AI workflows from many developers. Lack of AI tooling is absolutel…

I think that: 1. Commits are really just manual checkpoints while you’re working. Why not automatically checkpoint everything so you can actually go back to an older implementation…

I agree on Opus. I’ve had more luck with other models. In particular, Opus’s writing style makes one want to… blow their brains out. While it’s not hallucinating too much, and can …

No turn on red is a pedestrian safety issue. Many intersections don’t have adequate visibility, and right on red is very frequently dicey. So I’m glad that my city (Seattle) is ban…

It’s an abject market failure that no carrier out there has solved this problem. I have whatever Verizon provides, and it’s basically useless. I would switch to a provider that sol…

I don’t think you covered the difference between 70mm and IMAX 70mm. One frame of IMAX is basically 3 frames of normal 70mm. So it is physically 3 times bigger I’d say that yes it’…
