The new rule here requires you to pay for part of your imports (up to ~60%), even if you export more. I know people who installed batteries in the inverters because of this. It is …

Anthropic has better SLA in Germany. I’ve heard uptime there can get up to nein nines.

When COVID hit, I knew a lot of engineers who decided to move to rural areas / small farms because they could leverage Starlink to work remotely. Last year, when I asked whether th…

I feel the same way about consumer AI tools now. Gemini and ChatGPT have been abysmal lately. They can no longer be relied on to do multi-turn searching and thinking. Before, they …

From what you said: Not looking at code is bad, not because Claude can slip a few bugs (it can), but because LLMs tend to default to writing more code and features than needed, whi…

This post needs some examples, because I have never had an interaction with Claude that made me think this way. LLMs generally have a way to "play a role" (most earlier prompt guid…

I tested it to fix React Native bugs in a project, comparing it with Opus. It fared better on harder bugs, taking less time to find the root cause, but after implementing a fix, it…

Fable feels like a version of Opus running on a harness that won't let it halt until it's sure the issue is fixed, which makes sense if what you want is a model that's better at be…

It is hallucinating many flights in my region, some that never existed (so it is not an outdated data problem). I also see some logic flaws. It overlooks the option of going to a m…

> there's not enough money to be made via speculation I mean, there is money to be made. CATL stock (the major producer of EV batteries with 50% market share, with billions of cont…

The biggest competitor to Starlink is, ironically, traditional fiber. When COVID hit, I knew a lot of engineers who decided to move to rural areas / small farms, because they could…

The last three times I filed detailed bug reports as a client, all I got back were AI replies asking the same questions I’d already answered in the original report and suggesting a…

This oil crisis was a huge boon for EVs. In Brazil, despite the "hate" most people have against EVs, BYD went from breaking into the top 10 in March to taking the #1 spot in consum…

Mythos release feels like Silicon Valley "don't take revenue" advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAdXyPYKQo ""If you show the model, people will ask 'HOW BETTER?' and it will…

I think the main point is that "reinventing the wheel" has become cheap, not software design itself. For example, when a designer sends me the SVG icons he created, I no longer nee…

Not sure if WhatsApp paid off, though. There are reports of up to $1 billion in annual revenue with the Business API, so this is far less than what they paid. I think Meta's strate…

Thanks for the write-up! Yes, this clearly shows it is malware. In VirusTotal, it also indicates in "Behavior" that it targets apps like "Mail". They put a lot of effort into obfus…

This article is so frustrating to read: not only is it entirely AI-generated, but it also has no details: "I'm not linking", "I'm not pasting". And I don't doubt there is malware i…
