I am finding the goal of the project at odds with the anti-local approach in the article. I understand the point about people not wanting to be sysadmins - but surely hosting your …

> While I have found LLMs useful for researching and planning code changes, my attempts at actually making them write code have been quite lackluster. I found them to be slow and e…

I agree with your observation. Although the framing of the question signals some of the response "Do you think.. " forces the model to check for the cost-benefits. We can definitel…

The OS changes all the time, Apple/Google stop supporting an API your app relied on, security vulnerabilities get published, even stupid stuff like timezone changes can break a per…

I think we are moving from "can you build this product?" to "do i trust you to support this product?". Software is cheap, trust is a premium. Developers and companies who put real …

I only see a hat under 3.5 Flash-Lite. Is it a model issue or a rendering issue?

For some reason it is not able to detect 64GB RAM on my Fedora Linux mini PC. It shows only 8GB.

I am just offering a different point of view, not disagreeing with the other experiences on this thread. I d like to think I have fully recovered from confirmed Lyme diagnosis with…

Yes the era of the no-fly list is coming to AI.

This is a extremely common issue that happens in growing firms. You start off with everything in Postgres, it makes the most sense. Soon you realize some tables are growing really …

If your data is too big for postgres, it seems like moving straight to Clickhouse is the best option. We have been through an whole array of distributed database technologies, and …

The Atlas Obscura version of clustering seems especially bad. The presence of the cluster circles with unchanged numbers, even after zooming in, is just plain wrong. I have seen so…

The US really is just allowing all sorts of horizontal and vertical mergers. There is enough economic theory to suggest this is a net negative for consumers. We are powering throug…

He is just being willfully obtuse to make a point. This has to be one of his weaker essays. He is trying to "gotcha" AOC by talking math instead of debating the larger point. The k…

I thought Amazon has a stake in Anthropic, and would want them to succeed.

This has David Sacks written all over it.

Are people really going to hurt by this? Opus 4.8 can do a vast amount of the same tasks at half the price. How many people are really doing cutting edge work?

Yeah I don't agree at all with this stance. I am as tired of capitalism as anyone else. But let's not pretend money is not important. Just like open source projects need money and …

We do have people with real incentive to not allow self-driving cars to succeed.

It took me this map to realize the capital of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, and not Colombo as I thought for over 30 years. Always interesting to find capital cities whic…

Couple of anecdotes from the last week. Yesterday the Gmail virus scanner stopped working. For a while I couldn't download my attachments. A few minutes later it said the virus sca…

I do wish they had left a window open for criteria to whitelist developers who can create PRs. By closing off their developer circle, they are losing the best parts of open-source …

Its in a weird space right now. These models are actually extremely good but they are far from an intelligence unto themselves. Truth is if someone told you they could build these …
