Their big disadvantage is their terrible, no-good, awful product management (which has always been their issue).

Really? I immediately got a warning that the tokens would come from extra usage, and noped out immediately (so maybe pi lied to me?)

To be brutally frank, this was always going to happen when Western countries outsourced their manufacturing. And all of the rationales were self serving garbage, it was about juici…

Sure, but that's more of an indictment of SpaceXAI. All those resources, and they get upstaged by a bunch of much more compute constrained Chinese startups.

If you click on the address result (the button in the map), it will normally work. Mostly tested on Firefox on Mac in the EU.

I too want to be an artist, but I work in an economy that requires me to be an artist mostly in my off hours. And honestly, this is such a weird hill to die on. Lint rules when aut…

For me, at least, the overall design needs to come from using the code. I think for refactoring, you're definitely right as if you give them a good high level sketch you can get th…

LLm generation of code is an absurdly high dimensional process, and incredibly sensitive to the starting conditions and any other interactions so in some sense it's expected that t…

Yeah, in the Uber example, Hailo was a great competitor with a franchise model that got destroyed by Ubers essentially infinite capital.

That explains a lot, as there were a bunch of Claudeisms but the overall writing didn't feel like the standard. It's a shame that the models can't better preserve people's voices f…

When I writing the comment I was like, maybe APL was first? Nah, no-one will claim that. So congratulations on nerd-sniping me ;)

R and Numpy are also pretty good at this (and Julia was inspired by both of these and Matlab). In fact, I'm reasonably certain that R (known as S in the 70's) was the first real la…
