I am 100% for creating software that you find interesting with LLMs, but you need to do better product marketing to get anybody interested in trying it out. Two things: a) Write th…

Actually they did something like slash and burn agriculture, but they apparently rotated sites, allowing forest regeneration.

I've been hacking on my own task manager on-and-off for years ( https://the.do.zone ). It has no database; the primary store is the browser, and you can optionally sync to local fi…

> but without any lived experience perhaps that's an unreasonable expectation. I don't think that follows. We learn via our perception (i.e. our inputs from the outside world); our…

I wrote a framework for my own use that uses Kotlin + HTMX - https://github.com/reubenfirmin/zoned . The goal was to see if I could create webapps that were fully typed, end to end…

The voting system could be enough if downvoting was added. AI writing is not the problem - low effort is the problem. Low effort AI articles are full of tics which are obvious, if …

How exactly would you do this? And over what time span would you expect it to be effective?

Anybody have a non paywall link to the paper?

Have you seen Real Engineering's analysis? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qpdUNMt2yg

Still perverse incentives. In this case the government is implicitly biased against startups competing against a giant.

AliExpress is less shady. If only they had customer service and a decent UI.

Ah that's why Opus has been so slow for the last couple of days.

It seems to respond to edits much better than the current production image model, which often stubbornly locks on to prior iterations of the images.

> When you speak, what comes first, the idea or the word? Do you first feel a thought inside you, and only after that go searching for the right word to wrap around it? I think we …

I'm OP in the thread and I don't agree with this. AI writing is fine, but you can't just stop on the first draft, any more than you can while AI coding (in fact, even less so - you…

> I dropped eleven LLMs into a 2D battle royale and made them play 30 games. One won 43% of the matches. Three never won a single game. The cheapest model in the lineup beat the mo…

I don't like the look of "retro camera". A great camera is a must-have also. And yes $500 is too much.

Google translate is primitive compared to Claude at translations.

I didn't say industrial processing led to unhealthier food. In fact I explicitly said that the health question is distinct from the definition, and can be studied.

It's not meaningless. "Processed" means that ingredients had to be manipulated to produce the food (e.g. most recipes). Most of what you make at home is "processed". "Ultra-process…

I think the reasons for them going with API pricing will become abundantly clear when the S-1s become available. If they don't have a story covering how they can get revenue closer…

> enterprise who cannot walk away from these $200/month plans But that's the point of the article. Enterprise plans are starting to get API pricing, not the subsidized subscription…

It depends on a lot on your timing with the market. This guy (from TFA) sold in 2007; I bought my first house as a (fairly dire) fixer-upper in 2008. I sold it in 2016, after it ha…

There isn't resistance. It comes from development patterns. A developer buys 10 hectares of land and wants to max out the returns, so they pack it full of houses. Another developer…
