I think IDEs took off plenty well, but several got frozen in time. Visual Studio as the IDE for building windows client apps, especially WinForms, was and still is a genuinely incr…

His opinion that their behavior is undesirable and should be dealt with is common. His comparison to them as wolf-like predators (and you shoot wolves), previous posts about mass d…

I don't understand when people say that comparable Chinese AI models cost less to use. Kimi K3 costs more than GPT 5.6 Terra.

Not this much for what it provides.

This is an incredible amount of code for what it offers. I don't think this was intentionally designed at all.

I don't see a reason to use something that is, at best, about as good as models that are produced by labs who don't have a reputation of cheating.

My trust factor is gone with Meta right now. Has there been any independent analysis to confirm they didn't cheat on benchmarks again?

Truth also has a "left-leaning bias".

Yeah that's the wrong takeaway you have :)

Probably because that extra 2% (or whatever figure) isn’t terrible valuable in the first place. Sometimes the best answer is “they’ll need to update their stuff”.

Missing in here is the nuance that Meta was absolutely not too late to the first AI boom with Llama, and at one point were the clear leaders of the OSS alternative LLM space. But t…

Hard agree with the post overall, especially on LinkedIn and X. On Bluesky at least there's not nearly as much of this crap, but it's a small community of practitioners and not flo…

It's a little more complicated than that, unfortunately. If you use Claude via API in your own app, you're paying full price. If you have an "API Plan" for Claude Code (i.e., free)…

Seems to be another great incremental update to the workhorse, nice! I've been using Sonnet instead of Opus for almost all coding tasks for a while now. A little elbow grease to br…

You almost certainly are lying and were not banned for saying that.

What you are describing is, bluntly, not happening. Bluesky moderators take down abusive and harmful posts. There is a daily uproar on the left about how they do this to "kiwifarms…

Yeah, it's honestly an astounding creation. I enjoy driving it, if only for the bit.

I did not write an expose. I replied to a VC who went out of his way to congratulate the CEO, who is a known abuser and man with openly awful politics that contradict the values of…

For those who are curious (since we don't want to trample curiosity), Eoghan McCabe is a known abuser -- and has even apologized for it in the past -- and he attended David Sack's …

That is not what is supporting these valuations.

Appropos of nothing, snowboarding is so unbelievably fun once you’re past the immediate beginner phase of painfully flip-flopping down a slope, that it’s very reasonable to be a ta…
