Wonderful. Another tool for domain campers. Just what standards bodies should be spending time on…

Best explanation I’ve seen. I’m an entrepreneur type. I would fall asleep after two hours of coding to solve a problem. I still remember 100 hours of coding to facilitate a data im…

I built one of these RLM harnesses and a local MCP server along with logging, memories, and project rules based on directories. It worked great for a while but the foundational mod…

We bought a Bosch dishwasher from Costco in January. It was defective and wouldn’t start after 10 days. Costco replaced it. The replacement came with a big gash on the front off th…

Last retreat I went on the CFO drove drunk around 350 miles to get there. The CEO insisted on heavy drinking for everyone. Then he ordered one of everything on the menu the next mo…

Do those students deserve lifelong debt they cannot discharge?

The current foundational models have basic reasoning with glimpses of brilliant reasoning.

This removes circus from the children.

If it had been done with coordinated investment/lending from the government to spur domestic production it’d be a very good move. The economy is stalling (outside of tech) because …

On a Dartmouth related note, I still can’t believe they abandoned Blitzmail for Office 365. What a loss.

They got paid. That’s what the money was for. It’s the investors who backed these foundational model companies who will hold the bag as more open source models come along and consu…

Universities today are seen as debt manufacturing facilities. Debt that cannot be discharged. AI is seen as an act of war against the world’s working classes. Rich people aren’t bu…

I’m imagining dozens of people worldwide sharing your nostalgia for Vista.

In the niches there are riches and boring businesses build wealth. Congrats!

Or Windows 8.x in general

Open source models apply pressures on the low end of the market. The paid models are so much better that they can charge based on value for enterprises.

People actually use AI. People do not use virtual reality headsets.

That regulatory framework would add a lot of cost to providing online services. There would be far fewer people able to use them because companies would pass that cost to their use…

The downvotes are because my post was clear and they did not understand the point. We did not replace our CPA. We replaced the book keeper. The human CPA is the human in the middle…

I stopped trying to use Claude to do anything with 4.7 because it sucks up so many tokens so quickly. I use the 4.6 model still and have switched to Codex for larger tasks. It also…

Csv files are fine with a bot categorizing the expenses. No need to have a desktop app to do entry. Why would I worry about an LLM properly cataloging expenses (book keepers job) w…

I run a small business. I used AI to do book keeping for my LLC with two members (I have a partner). We had used a bookkeeper in previous years but we couldn’t ignore the potential…

The only “real” competition for Google Workspace is Microsoft if you need a full collaboration solution beyond just email, and 99.999% of customers of such hosted solutions need th…

It’s still the best option for uptime, document analysis (on a cost basis), and Google is less likely to experience a significant cybersecurity breach than a less established compa…

What’s fun for me these days is picking up a project I started with an LLM doing agent driven development a few months ago or even a year ago and hit a wall and stopped being able …
