    Using California as an example, only case where this typically applies would be if you specifically have bound contract with a provision specifying winner is awarded legal fees. Tr…

    Easier said than done, you don’t get lawyers fees back for winning a frivolous lawsuit, but you are required to pay them if you want to win. It’s entirely feasible for a company to…

    Honestly the battle for copyright with models is lost. The takeaway is copyright applies to you as a small user and not to billion/trillion dollar companies. Same as any other US l…

    > Peer review is not perfect, and may not be tuned to catch LLM’s style of errors This summarizes I think a lot of the challenges with validating LLM output. We hear “humans make m…

    Very curious what living standards you’re thinking of

    Oh bummer. I was really excited about pgrust but AGPL is a dealbreaker. Not for me personally, but it will never see wide adoption because it’s a banned license in most corporate e…

    This is the coolest LLM thing I’ve seen since the original ChatGPT announcement a few years ago. IMO much more impressive than marginal gains of frontier models.

    It may be true but if you have nothing else going for you I can see why some folks would throw their leveraged hat in the ring.

    I see what this is going for but can’t help but feel like it’s overwrought. It feels a bit like the most likely outcomes are increased token burn, review surface, and time per task…

    I second this. There’s so many OSS projects where long term plans live in private discords and maintainers act like it’s necessary to keep it all a secret

    The solar situation in CA is truly mind boggling for a state that is ostensibly progressive.

    It’s a sensible request, but we just don’t have the technology to do it.

    Not really, to my understanding. You own your buzz instance but it still interfaces with existing models, open or otherwise. The linked issues apply to the model outputs themselves…

    Very cool project and good finds. What do you see as the end state for your project - do you think pg has a path to upstream, or would this be a fork? Without knowing anything abou…

    I think in this case a tour is fine and sort of the point. But I disagree with you generally.

    Tbh I was super enthusiastic about Ty but it’s just so far behind basedpyright I had to switch off it. The lack of checks wasn’t the issue, it was the false positives which were th…

    It’s funny how asking “who won the 2012 election” and “who won the 2016 election” are not political but suddenly “who won the 2020 election” is. I think that should tell you whoeve…

    It’s interesting the cognitive dissonance this brings out in me. As much as I think Musk carries a fairly reprehensible aura, I would still like to see SpaceX succeed. Space has a …

    It’s interesting that this is less funding/valuation than hundreds of other random B2B Series C/D companies that may not even exist in 5 years. No point, just perspective.

    Very cool! FYI I was able to cause all sorts of hell by pinch zooming on mobile safari. This seemed to throw off the click and drag select box and on one occasion crashed the page …

    There’s also probably a lot less noise from casual internet conversations. I imagine a nontrivial amount of what LLMs know about certain technologies comes directly from forums lik…

    Do notice he is quite Socratic, the approach works well for LLMs they love to please so you have to be careful in how you lead them.
