Even if they could "do it better" it is still locked into a single device/vehicle and can't match the eco-system that Apple and Google have developed across a family of devices and…

10MB for the Google Homepage! 44MB for Facebook Homepage! I have not been paying attention to website bloat. Wow, and people were annoyed when a site had to download a whole JQuery…

Anthropic clearly doesn't understand that customers see their brand as "Claude", Google's brand as "Gemini" and OpenAI's brand as "ChatGPT." They have so many plans and exclusions …

NASA "Force?" It sounds very similar to Space Force and Air Force and adds a militaristic tone to NASA. Maybe that is the intent. I know that NASA and the military are closely link…

I've built a few transportation simulations where I started out with pathfinding methods like A* but the compute cost doesn't scale well with 10,000 or 100,000 agents running aroun…

Also, have massive layoffs every few months just to keep people on edge. AWS wants people to leave with RTO and badging policies, comp range shifts lower unless you have year over …

I made a decision to reframe "news" as the "fear network" so my brain had that context as I found out the news of the day. The article had an interesting perspective on information…

Marco Rubio needed this for his presidential run in 2028. Does this mean that Putin will look the other way for Maduro as long as Trump looks the other way when Putin captures or k…

Learning to play individual notes from sheet music only helps you learn one song. The breakthrough for me was thinking in musical structure. - There are 12 keys on the piano just r…

Color grading is pretty interesting. Please share good resources if you find some.

Technical: - Understand how to deploy teams of agents effectively to accomplish significant goals - Learn ECS/Dots in Unity to scale a system to hundreds of thousands of actors Non…

I do the same. It lets you see exactly what the LLM is using for context and you can easily correct manually. Similar to the spec-driven-development in Kiro where you define the pl…

When you get the answer you want, follow up with "How could I have asked my question in a way to get to this answer faster?" and the LLM will provide some guidance on how to improv…

Doesn't MacOS already render as 2x resolution and downsize in order to do font smoothing? Looks are important to Apple and I think they are willing to add custom hardware capable o…

There was a time when everyone hand-coded HTML. Then came Macromedia Dreamweaver and Microsoft FrontPage which promised a WYSIWYG experience. No one would ever need to "learn HTML …

Self-learning opens new training opportunities but not at the scale or speed of current training. The world only operates at 1x speed. Today's models have been trained on written a…

I just read Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis which has an interesting perspective that "cloud capitalism" is replacing traditional capitalism and competition. A few players are …

English and other languages come with lots of ambiguity and assumptions. A significant benefit of programming languages is they have explicit rules for how they will be converted i…

Looks like an opportunity to sell a price negotiation AI to all consumers. Get paid on both sides of the AI wars.

One thing these models are extremely good at is reading large amounts of text quickly and summarizing important points. That capability alone may be enough to pay $20 a month for m…

Some cruise lines, like Norwegian, have specific solo travel fares and cabins and even social events just for solo travelers

The reproduction cost for the 2nd copy of media is near zero just like software. Handmade or customized furniture is more expensive because it takes more labor for each copy. With …

There is no regulation or legislation that is telling Amazon they can/can't or should/shouldn't post this information. Amazon appears to be responding to the wishes of the Presiden…

I've been thinking about the need for something like this. Another person told me the idea was like Neo in the Matrix saying "I know Kung Fu." I think the most powerful idea is to …

Idiocracy in real life. The AI told me to drink Brawndo. Why? Because it has electrolytes. My AI said electrolytes are good.
