1. We don't need to connect every nook and corner with public transit. Each city having its own would be sufficient. 2. The US is sparse _because_ of cars: the space allocated for …

The models themselves have far from plateaued. Maybe someone finds a way to get a really capable model down to, say, 12GB of ram. Then we'd be in business.

If it switches mid conversation, this is a massive increase in token consumption because it has to re-read your conversation into cache, right?

Definitely — the language comes pre-tokenized!

Do you really care if someone forgot to format before committing? They can always squash and push locally if they need to.

Paying for someone to clean your house? Thats so last year. Why an AI company cleaned my New York City apartment for free https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpwerjy20kyo

The original MCP!

I was very dismayed to find that the single serve maple syrup packets that I thought existed are instead just more corn syrup, which cost 21¢ per 1.4oz packet, or 15¢/oz. Meanwhile…

How does this cause a point particle to accelerate towards the sun? Must be something about the gradient, but how does the gradient of time cause you to curve towards the sun?

Getting inside traders to publicize their knowledge for a price is like half of the point of prediction markets

5.5 is absolutely comparable to opus 4.7 (both on highest effort), maybe even better. It generally seems less lazy, faster, and writes code closer to what I'd write. The only downs…

I have definitely wished that Homebrew would not wait for all packages to be downloaded before pouring them. It's nice that downloads happen in parallel (didn't always used to be t…

Did you read the linked paper? Claude out-reasoned humans on a challenging (or at least, unsolved) math problem.

And new wifi and bluetooth chips

Can't, the RAM is soldered to the motherboard

I think “the fifth revision of that URL routing library that everyone uses” is a much less common case than “crate tried to explore a problem space, five years later a new crate th…

Interesting, my sonnet 4.6 starts with the following: The classic puzzle actually uses *eight 8s*, not nine. The unique solution is: 888+88+8+8+8=1000. Count: 3+2+1+1+1=8 eights. I…

Select all always appears if you have no text selected and never appears if you have some text selected. Insane UI decision by apple but that's how it is.

You can just type the text to find in the address bar — “find on page” will be the at the very bottom of the list of suggestions.

I agree, the x-axis labels are not helpful! Thankfully, the first example is “buttons with corrected icon spacing”, and the image on the right looks much better than the one on the…

Are accelerometers not sufficient for pose determination? I would assume they'd work as well as cameras if not better.

Why would this own a server? ls lists itself, but listing itself shouldn't cause it to run again? Where's the infinite loop that brings the server down?

I really like that Claude feels transactional. It answers my question quickly and concisely and then shuts up. I don't need the LLM I use to act like my best friend.

They do understand, that's why they're doing this. This is a fundamentally anti-fact administration — when facts aren't known, you can fabricate reality for the masses, which is wh…
