There is pretty clear return as of now. And half a trillion in backlog Also the ~4% drop is really not a big swing for earnings. This looks like a non story

There was an interesting video by Ben Felix that makes a case that home ownership doesn't significantly (or at all) increase happiness - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G_OSohLC_A…

Agreed I did the full 100. It's not even 1/4, with the harder ones when one description is significantly longer than others, it's the correct one. Even outside that 2 choices are u…

That's not fully true. Lots of things get to Europe later (Gemini memories, though we have them now, Spark as latest noteworthy) Or never. Like the majority of Pixel 10 on device A…

People take pride in wearing handmade watches As of today, I've never heard of anyone taking pride in using a SaaS or frequenting a website or an app because it was handcrafted. Ma…

I would guess it's purely because Grok isn't nearly in-demand enough to produce meaningful revenue. And they want to juice the numbers for IPO And I'm sure it's a bonus point for M…

Opus 4.5 became significantly cheaper directly per token

As another commenter implied, the title a reference to this - https://www.stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks . Which is an incredible read as well

It's in their ToS to allow using Copilot subscription with OpenCode - https://github.blog/changelog/2026-01-16-github-copilot-now-... Absolutely the cheapest way to get a lot of to…

Loosely related, though I don't think Benjamin Bennett's intention was ever to improve focus/productivity But it never ceases to amaze me the consistency and time spent sitting and…

Very interesting. It fails every single time for me. I'm in Germany, maybe Google is stricter here? See https://imgur.com/a/77BRDQv

I don't know tbh. I've tried it on 10-20 various level of famous standups and Gemini refuses every time Just for testing, I just tried this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_KJdP4FLGTo/sddef…

One interesting thing I found comparing OpenAI and Gemini image editing is - Gemini rejects anything involving a well known person. Anything. OpenAI is happy to edit and change eve…

I think these pledges offload some of the risk onto Amazon/Oracle/etc If Anthropic/OpenAI miss projections, infra providers can somewhat likely still turn around and sell it to the…

The idea is that smarter models might use fewer turns to accomplish the same task - reducing the overall token usage Though, from my limited testing, the new model is far more toke…

Opus 4.5 became significantly cheaper than Opus 4.1

From recent personal examples We have a somewhat complicated OpenSearch reindexing logic and we had some issue where it happened more regularly than it should. I vibecoded a dashbo…

My best guess is that Nvidia is unhappy with how OpenAI is fishing for compute with its competitors (Jensen had some opinions on the AMD-OpenAI deal when it was announced). If this…

I would agree. I've been using VSCode Copilot for the past (nearly) year. And it has gotten significantly better. I also use CC and Antigravity privately - and got access to Cursor…

Right. But a good portion of the world can't afford the premium and having access to these services is still valuable. For every broke student or someone from a poor background, wh…

From a very entertaining Matt Levine article ( https://archive.is/8QYxl ) > In a science fiction story, if you invented a superintelligent robot and asked it how to make money, it …

My guess is that this is bigger lock-in than it might seem on paper. Google and Apple together will posttrain Gemini to Apple's specification. Google has the know-how as well as in…

OpenAI is (was?) extremely good at making things that go viral. The successful ones for sure boost subscriber count meaningfully Studio Ghibli, Sora app. Go viral, juice numbers th…

Deep research, from my experience, will always add lectures. I'm trying to create a comprehensive list of English standup specials. Seems like a good fit! I've tried numerous times…

Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Reddit, Twitter etc all have increasingly profitable ads I'm sure llm providers will also figure it out in due time. Consumer products are generally…
