    This is an incredible idea. I would usually be skeptical that such an engineering-focused tool would "make it," but Mitchell Hashimoto is one of the very few people I think can pul…

    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 will say this in the most charitable terms I can. Microsoft simply does not have it in their culture to compete with something like this. Their prime days are over. They are slow…

    None of them do it well from our experience. We had to write our own custom pipeline with a mixture of legacy CV approaches to handle this (AI contract analysis). We constantly ben…

    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?

    Two PMs left a company with 125,665 employees. Yes, they are very important, but this happens every day at companies all around the world. Could be burnout, they are rich, got bett…

    > 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…

    This is kind of a wild story. Sam Altman is openly flexing that he was able to skirt the rules and regulations by threatening economic damage to California. It's not even subtle an…

    I have the Xbox Ally, Steam Deck, and original Ally. The original Ally software launch was a disaster. Unbelievable amount of bugs and overall terrible user experience. After 6+ mo…

    Full text agentic retrieval. Instead of cosine similarity on vectors, parsing metadata through an agentic loop. To give a real world example, the way Claude Code works versus how C…

    For anyone wondering how to quickly get your codebase into a good "Gemini" format, check out repomix. Very cool tool and unbelievably easy to get started with. Just type `npx repom…

    The main thing holding these Anthropic models back is context size. Yes, quality deteriorates over a large context window, but for some applications, that is fine. My company is us…
