This is great, thank you!

This comes up in conversation at office events, every woman in our office always agrees they will choose waymo over uber every time, due to the lack of (presumably male) driver.

I don't have to listen to the driver argue with his girlfriend across the entire span of the bay bridge, I don't have to worry the uber reeks of week (or worse, cigarette) smell on…

This is on my list to evaluate, I absolutely do not want to download 9gb of supply chain risk into prod every time we upgrade, when I can compile 70mb of binary. We run vLLM in a c…

All of us with a 96gb rtx 6000 would love to see a 70b moe. Maybe they are waiting for OpenAI and Anthropic to IPO so they can short their stock and release. Local LLM is going to …

It seems like he's saying to use open source software, and firefox is one of those options. Since it's open source, you "own" it soup to nuts, thus sovereign.

Probably someone who realized "build your own apps" means "empowering users to build competing apps that don't send marketing telemetry back to google"

So the US has 25 weeks, or 6 months of oil reserves left. One thing to note is that most jet fuel for europe comes from persian gulf oil. The US has been supplying Europe with jet …

I just gave you the ROI on a retail blackwell card, the math checks out, particularly on overpriced Haiku and Sonnet, what do you mean by "you're just fighting economies of scale i…

Seems like they're working to destroy the local LLM argument. Right now Haiku is $1/$5 in/out. You can grind out $12,000 worth of haiku (or arguably, sonnet) class tokens in about …

As long as it was the kind I could buy spare parts for, sure. And it wasn't connected to the internet. Not having cleaning staff in the house periodically would be a huge quality o…

I suspect in 5 years everyone will have the equivalent of a 512gb mac mini running a 500b class open weight model for 98% of their tasks, shelling out to openai/anthropic for the o…

I've had 2b models give a plausible Paris vacation itinerary. A tools-capable 12b and especially 30b model from 2026 is certainly capable of producing passable results. I was demon…

The big problem with US AI is that they deprecate their models after like a year. If I have a routine business process that works with GPT 9.9 and then next year they release GPT10…

When I got married our food waste probably tripled. My food waste as a single guy was significantly less than married. When I had kids it probably tripled again. Much like a horse …

When my wife finally upgraded her iphone to one that uses the usb-c, finally the last non-usb-c device in the house was gone. It has drastically simplified our lives. Each car only…

You are not going to get the guy at 7-11 or the cashier at Target who just bought a PS5 for her son to boycott watching movies on it. Boycotts only work if it is demonstrably going…

I'm currently supporting (a couple hours a week) an exec who has mostly automated his workflow via vibe coding (the rest largely failed - not everyone can make the leap, and those …

Great question - nothing. I was a little surprised to see it doesn't even have a microphone or speaker - that means regardless of whatever compute is available (esp32 is pretty com…

The J stands for Jacobian, ref Jacobian Matrix, Jacobian "Lens"

If the app store allowed you to install bookmarks, I doubt most people would notice.

The other big problem is, group notifications went from 100% success rate, to nearly 0%. I bought a budget model sainsmart/genmitsu cnc thing to goof around with, as a hobby/assist…

It means a lot more if you held one of these in your hands new before you were old enough to drive (or, in my case, read about it in nintendo power, but only saw it behind the glas…

>so they can be "skilled artisans" Having had to work with these guys, and then maintain their software when they inevitably get bored and/or leave for more money elsewhere, no. Us…

Apple rumor mill is suggesting that we may see M5 Mac Studio announced in September at that event. Apple just increased their pricing across the board, so I'm not holding my breath…
