    Your analogy falls apart somewhere for me but I can't pinpoint the exact correction to make your analogy work for me. Either way I agree. If they don't like only being able to buy …

    Weird conclusion to draw from my statement. Feels intentionally hostile of an assessment about me, but I digress.

    Machines don't pay my bills though. If the content was free to share widely, then yea, who cares how it's accessed.

    I see a lot of discourse about it being fast-to-deprecation. But I see it a different way personally. Modern LLMs are trying to do more with less. Focus on doing the right thing th…

    Far better than the band 999mb, they don't do well in the gig economy.

    This is my thought as well. Models have to be intentional about which tokens they burn because there's a real lag time. If you can just fork out 10 different reasoning sessions at …

    My company moved to GH Actions 6 months ago even after I pushed back with a "Are you sure given their reliability issues of late?" Now I'm stuck twiddling my thumbs with PR checks …

    There's a PLIST entry possibly relevant to it in `~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkserviceproxy.plist` I couldn't figure out how to get any changes to reflect but maybe it's …

    My least favorite ones are the ones that fit in the rails to the left and right of the content that scroll with you. You can't click anywhere without an accidental ad click. Using …

    True, we have way too many thematic versions of Monopoly. I'm still missing so many copies.

    Honestly I was more thinking about TVs than monitors but I often forget Dell makes good monitors.

    It's getting really hard to find a solid, reputable brand of screen manufacturers that don't pull this kind of crap. I swore off Samsung screens after their popup ads in phones and…

    So OP needs to rename their slideshow tool to Claris?

    I have been using Plex since 2014, paid for the lifetime pass back then. It is by-far the most used piece of software I've ever relied on (excluding any general purpose software li…

    This reminds me immensely of DARK Basic built by The Game Creators. It was how I got my start into programming back in the day.

    I've found personally it's better to use AI to build a deterministic script for calculations like that. (anything that manipulates data should be a script not an AI).

    I suspect we'll see a hybrid before an all or nothing. Local models for computer control or delegating, online models for things that need strong reasoning, planning, and knowledge…

    I agree that would improve transparency but it'd also lock us and Anthropic into a situation where changing that would require new plans, prices, notifications, legal, etc. I think…

    I mean if you want to spend $200, and get a guaranteed amount of tokens in return you should be using the API. I agree there should be more transparency what 20x gets you that 5x d…

    I mean you got me there. There will be places who do have the means to build up massive GPU servers. There's just a lot more to it and I don't know if we're going to pinpoint an ex…

    I feel like the models have no moat paradigm died when a single model expanded past the memory of single GPU slices. The moat is hosting the model. Even paying a server host to run…

    Literally this. Every response initially was "we don't see that and we let it sit for weeks". Now there's just no response from devs. I was unable to browse past more than 1 or 2 p…

    Most of that site reads as a "trust us, sound makes you heal!" I don't see a single thing there that tries to explain the correlation between bumping your brain with sound and "res…

    I would really like to see a renaissance of in-person activities. I think a big hurdle to this though is the lack of a 3rd place for communities to exist. Parks are nice in the sum…
