The 2 vs 3 days makes less of an impact on personal decision making but has massive benefits for decision making at the country wide response level.

To your slow point: I did a quick eval for a data viz task to do a qualitative comparison and Fable was much faster (by 4x), but I struggle with the "token inefficiency" as a sort …

It's kind of ridiculous how good these are getting. 3.5 Flash lite is pretty comparable to Opus 4.8 (at least for the couple tests I did) while simultaneously being 6x faster and 1…

It's a free site, so I was trying to limit both the privacy and risk exposure. Making the content auto expire after a short period of time greatly decreases the attractiveness of t…

Like Simon concludes the article, the main use of this isn't to say which model is "better", but to try and poke at the model to sort out things like quality vs cost vs speed. So I…

I built a simple (free) eval tool for my own uses (Github Gists + Model Outputs) after not being able to find a suitable one in the market. The market's being split into 1. Longitu…

Vesting schedule?

Something that's improved my life has been buying a sticker sheet of those LED darkening dots. They're only a couple bucks and look much cleaner than other solutions I've tried whi…

This, more than anything else I'd ever read about Inform, really makes me want to give it a try.

I ran a quick eval to see what this looks like qualitatively vs just calling Opus 4.7 or GPT 5.5 directly. As expected, Fusion was 7x slower and 4x the cost. This isn't a knock aga…

A counterpoint to this is that we have some real different definitions of AI. If you consider things like the machine learning filters in your smartphone camera and Google's AI Ove…

I think it's your last point that's actually the strongest. There's always gaps between theoretical and practical, but to see China investing so hard in the future while the US dig…

I thought it was more implied, but let me be more explicit: - This is something I made for myself without a lot of commercial thought, so I still haven't thought through pricing + …

This is all very fair criticisms. This thread asked: "What are tools you have made for yourself?" and that's genuinely what this is. I wanted it so I made it and then AI makes it s…

The funniest thing I've made is a free utility called "Moniker" that contextually renames files based on their contents. Uses local AI models and I was able to snag this great doma…

It's not just comparing all the models, it's also comparing all the providers and configurations of those models. If you're doing any kind of production AI work you'll end up with …

WRT the native grammar, consider adjective order. Few native english speakers (me included) can off the cuff name the proper order, but everyone knows the "right" order. https://di…

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is kind of like that for the architecture and period it covers. There's an interesting small YT channel that did a series on ACB + History https://www.…

That's a a lot less than I expected. Is it difficult to get coverage?

We're already seeing other states struggling with soaring house insurance rates (California and Florida) and a pattern of spikes in rates leading government mandated caps on rates …

I was curious just how much of a difference there was, so ran a quick eval comparing them and fwiw DeepSeek is considerably slower but much much ~5x cheaper than Haiku and fwiw ~35…

It it reminds me of a lot of friends who wanted to "start blogging" and their first step was writing a new static site system from scratch.

I was trying to get a better sense of the time cost quality matrix of these, so I threw together a quick eval of Sonnet 4.6, Mistral's dev model, and Opus 4.7 (figuring it's what y…

My plan was to just see if anyone wanted to actually use it first. That if I couldn't give it away I'd not invest the time in selling or open sourcing it. I'd sort of designed it f…

I'd be curious to know if you consider a Lego store a "toy store". There's one that opened in my city fairly recently and is in an area of smaller boutique shops (kind of like what…
