    I used Claude extensively during an internal hackweek at my company to prototype a new data analysis application. Probably would have never attempted the project without AI. Now it…

    Actually this is a good read on the problem they are trying to solve https://www.computerweekly.com/opinion/Inside-FDP-part-1-Und...

    What you’re describing is literally the entire point of their Foundry data platform

    Couldn’t agree more. Many designers I’ve worked with have been good at making things aesthetically pleasing, but have utterly failed to understand the nuances of the software. This…

    Does anyone actually care about the above issues? If yes, and you’ve solved them, people should be very interested in using what you’ve built. If people are using what you’ve built…

    No offense, but why should I believe you? The guy is famous because he has a track record of success doing similar projects. Of course that doesn’t guarantee success, but I’d wager…

    This isn’t a bug. It’s the driving force of our capitalist society. We are not trying to weed them out. We are trying to encourage them. It’s pretty simple, when they get rich, so …

    Isn’t this true for any project ever attempted? The only reason this project exists is because millions have already been wasted on trying to do this in house

    Or, the non politicized take is that they think the software could improve the data landscape of the NHS, which, if we are bring honest, has a lot of room for improvement.

    I think you would need a lot more context to say if 0.019% is too high. If this platform is driving real operational improvements and is the core software backbone, then it doesn't…

    Is there any proof that Palantir has ever leaked client data? From a security perspective they are one of the few companies that hold IL6, which means they can handle highly classi…

    Why can’t people just acknowledge AI is good at some things and bad at others. Why does every post say AI is either groundbreaking or terrible. Get a grip people. It’s a tool.

    I’m confused. Who do you think makes all the medical equipment like CT scans, MRIs, etc. because it’s sure not the government

    How does it not make sense? Companies all over the world trust their proprietary data with Palantir platforms. There’s no way they would do this if they thought Palantir was actual…

    This is like saying a Swiss bank would share your secrets because shady people use Swiss banks. No. Confidentiality is literally built into their business model. Getting caught sha…

    This is a somewhat misleading description. The first half is true. They bring in their FDEs to clean and organize your data. But the difference in what they leave behind is what se…

    This is missing the point. If you’re a 2 man team it’s much more important to have code that has a couple bugs in it but allows you to quickly find your product market fit. As oppo…

    This has been my experience exactly. V1 was custom built for a single client and they loved it. As we tried to expand to multiple clients the v1 was too narrowly scoped (both in UX…

    You don’t know the half of it. If you really want to know the truth investigate big formula.

    Couldn’t agree more. This entire comment section reads as a bunch of 20 year olds with no kids talking about parenting.

    Do you have kids? The phone comment seems pretty out of touch. I have two young kids in NYC and it’s objectively very expensive. Ignoring all consumables, daycare and needing a 2 b…
