Here is the “internal” pattern language I started on “patterns for building software projects with AI”: https://github.com/apinstein/pattern-language-building-with-... It’s mostly …

> The shared language of a software project is not English or Python but it is the common understanding of what its concepts mean, where the boundaries are, which invariants matter…

Furniture isn't part of the property by default; only if included in the sale. So pics with furniture aren't a problem, unless you say it's included and you don't get what's pictur…

Codex.app is gone and merged into ChatGPT.app. The upgrade process was... messy... Codex's self-update just deleted the Codex.app w/o further instruction. And ChatGPT updater faile…

I mean it’s already fraud to do so today… you cannot misrepresent the condition of a property. I think the harm so far has just been wasted time and thus no standing for lawsuits y…

It’s pretty much always been against the rules of the mls to use altered photos. Pre ai, people would sometimes get busted for making grass where there was none, or making walls wi…

You mentioned it at the end of your article that you should definitely think more about horizontal transfer. It basically lets any individual in a population install a runtime gene…

I am playing around with building my own similar and am faced with the question you pose. How can you tell if your prompt process works? I feel like the outputs from SDLC process a…

I built https://www.chatmycal.com/ Ever get an email or handout with a massive schedule - in text, image or pdf - and you have to hand re-enter dozens of events? I built ChatMyCal …

While true, this either matters for you or it doesn’t. Classic Innovator’s Dilemma. My EV gets only 230mi range at max, and I only charge to 85% which is like 190mi. But I do it at…

It’s not a hand wave… The cost to serve a particular level of AI drops by like 10x a year. AI has gotten good enough that next year people can continue to use the current gen AI bu…

Here's the play. It's very simple, and it's quite good. Stripe processes a LOT of money. The customers that get that money need to move it around. Often to banks. Stripe makes no m…

Oh wow, a bunch of Alzheimer’s grants at Columbia were canceled, including the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Unclear if this study was affected… https://taggs.hhs.gov/Conten…

There are so many things to control for… - compare to taxi / professional drivers - locations - times Still a great nominal achievement but anytime a sponsored research study doesn…

hmm. I don't see why not optimize closing costs. I have done so on 4-5 mortgages myself. When sourcing your lending options, if you are a good borrower at least, you will have mult…

It’s fascinating how no one mentions that Trump didn’t pass comprehensive immigration legislation during his first term despite it being core to his platform. This issue is a mess …

I started and ran a real estate photography platform from 2004-2018. We started r&d on this in ~2016 when consumer VR first came out. At the time we used photogrammetry and it was …

The only fair way to analyze this is by looking at opportunity cost, which isn’t what TFA does. Founders often have slightly higher market value (though not always) than first empl…

This is really great. I imagined such a thing should be created, amazing to see it in reality. It would be great for those of us not limited to exclusively voice to be able to use …

I think it would be significantly less accurate. Their error rates for performing physical tasks would be different b/w they lack the sensors to accurately train decent world model…

A reminder that if you have any accounts where that company uses “voice phrase as password”, call them and have it disabled. Usually they have other options like a secret pass phra…

I played around a lot with VR180 when it came out. The experience is incredibly, almost uncomfortably intimate for personal videos. I felt so awkward watching demos of other people…
