> "But owning a game on a disc today isn't really the same thing. It's still just a license..." Here's the crux of the problem in their own sentence and they don't even realize it.…

No mention of training/test/holdout dataset splits anywhere in this article - so how am I to know whether or not this is some overfit result?

I haven't used it but they were silly about their programmatic search api in the same way. Can't use the results for anything other than showing them as-is on a results page.

I'd be more OK with this if Google had a good API for their search results. But they've deprecated it, and now there is no alternative. So I'll continue to use 3rd parties that scr…

Our city recently went on a crusade on replacing all of the high pressure sodium bulbs with LEDs, with the justifications of driving safety and energy savings. I agree that these a…

It's not a whatchamacallit, it's a spicy doodad

It’s not that hard. I’ve done this. The list of URLs for a crawl is several hundred gigs. Easily fits in a lookup index on a single instance.

I escaped! Just grind until you hit 80% burnout then touch grass to bring it back down. Rinse repeat.

Who’s “this person”…me? I don’t make a living selling AI programming products. I make a living building knowledge systems, mostly around search engines and data wrangling.

I am absolutely seeing an explosion in apps. The reason you might not see them is because the app explosion is entirely custom and in house. I talked with a friend last week, who h…

This is really cool, but the best part is the response in the twitter post demo had an em-dash.

Thats really cool. He did a fine job sewing. I tried something similar with green-screen fabric and followed the same procedure: make a pattern from existing clothing, cut out the …

Yeah, I’ve had Opus (and Fable) perform full security audits on my codebases that would run for 30mins. That’s what I think would have tripped it but went just fine.

What kinds of tasks does Opus refuse? I’m a light daily user for the past 3 months and Opus has never refused a task for me.

If it’s a “next generation model” then why isnt it GPT-6 and not just a minor version bump over 5.5?

Looks great. But will 3hCloud be able to sustain those prices?

This is just the reality of hardware costs now. RAM and Disk are scarce, prices have skyrocketed. I wonder how much leverage the hyperscalers like AWS/GCP/Azure have on their own s…

Same for me. $20/mo is just fine and I use it to code daily. I suspect the people that burn through tokens have several subagents and 50 skills loaded and 40 MCP tools. All those l…

This was over 10 years ago, and the original price was something like £35. It was tiny, and the assumption was correct - most families had an HDMI capable TV and could afford the d…

The 80s kid in me still thinks dropping someone into a linux shell with a bunch of tools and no internet access is the best learning environment. Kids these days with their fancy t…

The original vision IIRC was to provide a cheap computer for students in low-income families. You could plug into your TV at home and start learning. Then the hobby community got w…
