I have the pro account for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. They all have various strengths and weaknesses. My favorite is still ChatGPT, then Gemini/Claude, then Grok. Grok ofte…

The only mistake he made was not buying Tesla around the M3 launch. Elon was desperate and would have sold it to him for cheap. He didn't take the meeting. Otherwise I completely a…

I used to work in ASR. Due to the nature of current multimodal architectures, it is unlikely we'll ever see accurate timestamps over a longer horizon. You're better off using encod…

It is insane that the thoughtful act of gift giving has been reduced into a checklist item. What is the point anymore?

> I wish .NET was more popular among startups, if only C# could get rid of the "enterpisey" stigma. Too hard to ignore the benefits of cross-stack gains in Typescript/Python. The C…
