Hahahahahha. I love this. Brilliant work.

Yeah, I’ve notice that people have started to sound like LLMs even when the LLMs aren’t writing for them. Not stupid people. Not lazy people. Some of the smartest people I know —- …

Sort of related, but we had to shard as usage grew and didn’t have uuids and it was annoying. Wasn’t the most annoying bit though. Whole thing is pretty complex regardless of uuid,…

Really beautiful. I bet Ramanujan just “saw” and felt these.

That doesn't make sense. The free part is the marketing, the more people like it, the faster it spreads. I run a freemium business and all the motivation internally is to increase …

I absolutely love this.

I have had a few epic refactoring failures with Gemini relative to Claude. For example: I asked both to change a bunch of code into functions to pass into a `pipe` type function, a…

Yeah, it's a good point, but I think that our intuitions are different on this one. I don't have a horse in this race, but my assumption is that the next OpenAI release will be a m…

Two things interest me about Claude being better than GPT-4: 1) We are all breathless that it is better. But a year has passed since GPT4. It’s like we’re excited that someone beat…

Thanks!

Ummmm ... what is grub? Didn't see any links to it from the three random grub2 repos I looked at.

"The Art of Action" It has changed how I approach everything, not just how I run my business. Is applying approaches used in militaries to organize action around the leader's inten…

True! I meant "artificial scarcity" in the economic sense of monopolies reduce supply of an abundant material to drive up prices.

My best friend's dad was high up in Woodstock 99 corporate, which means he was responsible for making much of it run (yeah, I guess there were some issues ). We had backstage passe…

This kind of attitude is how bad products get made.

It was really fun, but maybe throw a few combos closer in weight in? I played for maybe 5 minutes and didn't get any wrong. I would have played longer if I got some wrong.

Oy. Yes there, are legit uses. A few straightforward examples: 1) You implementing something boards (like trello) on mobile. The well-established-in-all-the-apps-that-specialize-in…

I know this is pedantic, but I think your point applies to 10,000 years ago :) 1000 years ago many empires had already risen and fallen in China and it was a centralized agricultur…

Yeah, I was thinking about the old fashioned cheerleading things, without any electricity involved. I even thought about being explicit in case someone was going to be pedantic ...…

Disagree! The article explains something extremely cool: that there’s a layer in the ocean that acts like a megaphone, where sound that passes into it gets caught and propagates wa…

Awesome!!! Thank you so much.

My sister choreographed this dance, and I’m a little unhappy that she isn’t mentioned here by name. She’s brilliant, and I want her to get credit. Her name is Monica Thomas. Her da…

My 6 year old twins like to come up with questions about whether you would rather die or have X happen. Recently, one asked, "I know the answer is obvious" and then asked me if I'd…

What are the API features you use most and would want/need? Also, we were frozen for a long time but have been making meaningful improvements for a while now, I’m guessing your eva…
