Chinese open weight models are great for this turn, but American private models generate orders of magnitude more cashflow. This cashflow = investment in training future models. It…

Kansas genuinely has a ton of paved and gravel roads all across the state. It's like a gigantic grid. Oddly high amount of street-view coverage too on google maps: https://maps.app…

One under-discussed topic is whether Americans hate data centers in their neighborhoods, or whether they actually just hate gas turbine generators running 24/7 in their neighborhoo…

You could argue that cheaper/safer local rideshare would boost traffic to local bars and restaurants in denser areas though. If you want to keep the $ local, just add an AV tax tha…

cmux + Claude Code / Codex with a custom agents.md file. With cmux your agents can access the browser, spawn full shells, and you aren't locked-in to a specific vendor. It's really…

Seems really good so far using it in Claude Code CLI - it gave me a new flag when I asked a question: "I don't have a reliable way to read that number, so I'd be guessing if I gave…

Interested in how the critics of approaches like this defend an agentic session (with Fable, for example) that stops and runs a multi-hour ML training session. It's a script, so th…

The fun part about this is that we can see who is right in about a year. If the leading labs continue making progress at hardening their models against distillation, and then they …

You're making the point even stronger for US companies to just block EU traffic entirely. If you have no EU customers, the mere act of letting EU visitors on your site might cause …

Or option three is they are drafting hard off the frontier US models via distillation.

American recycling in a lot of major cities is single-stream - aka you put all recycling together and a central plant sorts it for you. More efficient, more accurate, and it encour…

Missed this whole discussion today because I was here in California, doing a ton of productive work, using Fable. I think you guys are working yourself into a lather about this top…

So you're arguing it's the Yogi Berra "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" of business models?

That's not how economies work. It's not a fixed pie that everyone shares.

That's true for domestic labor and manufacturing, like shipbuilding, but the bleeding edge chips only come from one place and the US labs get the best while Chinese labs do not (un…

The ~72 hours I had access to Fable were by far the most productive I've had in months. Re-wrote massive parts of my codebase and caught a ton of bugs and logic issues that had sil…

Have you tried Opus on fast mode?

Appreciate my 2UZ-FE more every year.

The IRA and the CHIPS Act were the "last major thing" the Dems did, and both were far better policy for tech than anything out of this current administration.
