Thanks! There are actually five year charts for most of the data, but you have to click into the page for a specific dataset (e.g. https://the-dwell.com/anchored/east-coast ). But …

The last time somebody made this thread, I posted about https://the-waterline.com/ , a site I launched as a side project/eval to see how well Claude can do a decent-sized project (…

"The study, authored by Capraro with Chiara Marcoccia of École Normale Supérieure and Walter Quattrociocchi of Sapienza University of Rome, deliberately used questions where AI mod…

Yeah good god OP please start writing a Substack about this! Engineer who buys a run-down bowling alley and cleverly fixes problems is exactly what the internet needs more of.

Ah, that is a fantastic idea, it's on my to do list.

Thanks! I am definitely not an expert in either, and I've run the content by both Fable and GPT-5.6 with instructions to make sure it's written in such a way that it would read nor…

I heard an episode of the Odd Lots podcast about HayWire (haywireag.com), a site that pulls public data from government PDFs + APIs, uses LLMs to parse it and turns it into an easi…

I assume you're referring to this: > And when the brain encounters something it can’t process efficiently, it doesn’t simply adapt. Brain imaging studies cited in the review show i…

The Limitations section at the bottom certainly has a lot of limitations: > This paper is a review, meaning it synthesizes and interprets existing research rather than presenting n…

I own a dozen Amazon brands that are probably largely of the kind that OP would want this to get rid of (sourced from China, not name brands by any stretch, only sell on Amazon). F…

> It might seem obvious to coders, but the difference between Claude Code and Claude.ai's chat is enormous, even if those two run the same model. In my experience, Claude Code is v…

How is AI involved in this? None of the features seem like they would need to use it at all. So presumably AI means it's just vibe coded? Also, the comparison chart is just dishone…

Not worthwhile feels a bit strong (a good FAQ is definitely worthwhile!), but I definitely agree that there is a big difference between any kind of art (writing, playing music, cre…

> To investigate whether skills are being lost in the field of computer science, researchers at the AI firm Anthropic in San Francisco, California, designed a randomized controlled…

So many! I manage a fund that buys small e-comm brands, and at this point the whole thing runs on a combination of AI and tools created with AI. My favorite is one that scrapes my …

For the most part if you give it sample photos that have sufficient coverage of different angles, it's very good at faithfully reconstructing the product from whatever angle you ch…

This is definitely the most interesting question in a ton of AI applications. I think folks should be really be spending a lot of time on figuring out how to deterministically chec…

Two of them: 1. ChatGPT 3.5 wrote me a script to pull some data out of Shopify and write it to a Google Sheet. Nothing remotely impressive by today's standards, but I had just comm…

> Communism's failures are due to human social factors, not technological. You can't fix social problems with technology. Yeah, that's fair. The argument would be that the core rea…

Oh yeah, to be clear I fully agree with everything you've said. My core argument is that there will be sufficient economic productivity for everyone to live incredibly well. Whethe…

Sure, but the question is at what layer of abstraction do you have to prompt the AI? You used to have to prompt the AI by starting to write the actual line of code you want, which …
