    If payloads to LLMs are being passed around to various nodes, even trusted ones (like friends and family), it gets awkward if you send something very personal. Think sending a medi…

    Does Mesh LLM encrypt the payload between nodes? Is it possible to read requests from other users?

    Just do what I did: ignore your orthodontist and wear them only at night, smashing them into your mouth like some kind of idiotic brute. 4 years later, great teeth!

    LLMs won’t lead to AGI. Almost by definition, they can’t. The thought experiment I use constantly to explain this: Train an LLM on all human knowledge up to 1905 and see if it come…

    I created an open source tool to help apps stay near the Dunbar Number: https://highlyprobable.io/articles/ten-cubed . I think the concept of social networks is interesting, but th…

    I've always been confused by this First Amendment argument with regards to TikTok: they're an organization that has been tied directly with an adversarial foreign state. How is thi…

    "Silence" is a problematic term. For me, that word encompasses: squeaky chairs, typing on a loud keyboard, moving objects around on my table, etc. In a perfect world, Whisper —like…

    Does anyone know if this new model handles silence better? I was trying to use whisper for transcribing bursts of talking amid large spans of silence, but the frequency of hallucin…

    I just wrote a script with Hazel to automatically transcribe my voice notes to txt. It handles punctuation extremely well. What a wonderful contribution!

    Simply put: your state exists on each client and the mechanism to reconcile that state across clients is not mission critical. Almost all apps currently are built to get their stat…

    You're describing one of my favorite mental models: https://fs.blog/2020/03/chestertons-fence/

    I'm glad to see this article is eliciting in others the same reaction I had when reading it. I'm a huge fan of Linear and use it for our company, but this article just has so much …

    Man, this is why self-driving cars can’t come soon enough. Everyone else’s replies to this already sort of answer your question, but for me this hints at the bigger issue: people d…
