I don’t think mapping tooling to ability makes sense here, particularly when the “advanced” tools here just abstract more away, though I agree that Cursor is terrible. So many usel…

It was almost impossible to unsubscribe a few years ago. Seems like not much has changed.

Well, the average grade at Princeton is an A. Not sure how much this will change anything.

You can paste this exact response under your other post, as well. Emotionally compelling, scientifically weak. Worth nothing. But also, what you wrote is just wrong. There are plen…

Author clearly doesn’t know the field well at all. First few paraphrases reveal this. Opening sentence: I’ve been in the AI space since ChatGPT first dropped. Everyone is allowed t…

That’s just playing semantics. Nobody is talking about, “objective facts” or need define them here. If the step time is measured in days, and your model takes years to train, then …

Ah yeah, well I didn’t know it was that high! But I’m responding to the rescue mission comment, which, since Vietnam, have overwhelmingly employed helicopters (Huey’s then, Black H…

…against the viet cong, where the biggest risk was the pilot getting pierced from small arms fire (in addition to the helo going down from pilot error). Quite different from the an…

No shame rewarded as expected in the post-cluely world of contemporary VC.

Fair point, I just think that example is better off running on a cron job than using compute from llm inference, (though that will become negligible over time, anyways).

I see this critique about autoresearch online often, but I think it’s misplaced. Here’s a use case that may illuminate the difference, from my own work at Nvidia. Im currently trai…

I agree with the sentiment that there are use cases for web scraping where an agent is preferable to a cron job, but I think your particular example can certainly be achieved with …

That has, unfortunately, been business as usual in Iran for the last few months. But these are all additional points in support of what is already said.

You really don’t see how the situation is materially different? The bombed oil fields, hotels, dead American soldiers - all business as usual?

Looks great, if I remember correctly the author mentioned that the spring color palette + fruit examples are a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Or empathetic, especially when they throw money away à la $70M parties: “General and administrative expenses increased by $68.1m ... The increase was primarily driven by … an in-pe…

Some choice Jack Dorsey quotes: From New Yorker profile: “His goal… is… by making information freer, he hopes to make the world fairer, kinder, and nicer.” Where he also writes, “I…

Will never not complain about languages not giving code examples. It’s like writing a charting/UI/style library and showing no examples. Just what?

The Venezuelan people?

You must be fortunate to have a lived experience where the answer isn’t immediately (and obviously) financial security. Also: plenty of meaning outside of running a SaaS. Hell, und…

The article didn’t even mention that, at 29 years old, he abandoned his 5 year-old son to go on his middle-aged crisis journey. Some person to celebrate.

Would love to see the percentage of Forbes 30u30 who also had (sorry, claimed) a disability in college.

You work in tech and are somehow convinced working on a blockchain app is a good thing ? We should make employees pass a basic economics test!

Yeah, my guess is the team vibe-coded it because wow is does it have poor performance /is difficult to use. A few links didn’t even work for me…
