This took me down a rabbit hole that led to this company, doing Gaussian splat videos: https://www.4dv.ai/ . Fascinating.

Very cool! Have you seen https://encore.dev/ ? Haven't used it personally but I saw it on HN last year and have been meaning to try it out. Seems like your approach is a bit more "…

https://exploretrees.nyc/ Been tinkering on this Olmsted-inspired map of all the trees in NYC for a long time - just added some more features (seasonal colors and better search/fil…

I don't have much to say about this post other than to vigorously agree! As an engineer who's full-stack and has frequently ended up doing product management, I think the main valu…

I find this perspective bizarre. Though I'm not happy about it all being centralized, the closest thing we have these days to the very niche phpBB forums of the 2000s is various su…

Perhaps swearing at the LLM actually produces worse results? Not sure if you’re being figurative, but if what you wrote in your first comment is indicative of the tone with which y…

I would like to propose a moratorium on these sorts of “AI coding is good” or “AI coding sucks” comments without any further context. This comment is like saying, “This diet didn’t…

This is excellent! I think the utility of generating vectors is far, far greater than all the raster generation that's been a big focus thus far (DALL-E, Midjourney, etc). Those ef…

Install Cursor ( https://cursor.com ), go into Cursor Settings and disable everything but Claude, then open Composer (Ctrl/Cmd + I). Paste in your exact command above. I bet it’ll …

I've completely switched over to Cursor from Copilot. Main benefits: 1. You can configure which LLMs you want to use, whereas Copilot just supports OpenAI models. I just use Claude…

Which state is your town located in, out of curiosity? I'm trying to build a mental rolodex of which states have towns that are development-friendly.

Ah, my mistake. "Meta AI" can generate both text and images, but apparently text prompts are handled by Llama 3.1 while image prompts are handled by Emu. I initially struggled to f…

Many AI-generated images you encounter are low-effort creations without much prompt tuning, created using something like DALL-E or Llama 3.1. For whatever reason, the default style…

Just to clarify, are you saying these are relatively new BEV trucks coming into your shop? If so, do the mileage issues usually boil to battery degradation due to driver behavior a…

I was a software intern at Bridgewater in 2013. My impressions from that time are that Bridgewater had an interesting, unique, and very intentional culture, but at some point the f…

In the past year, I've gone from near-zero understanding to pretty deep expertise in the domain of electrical grid interconnection as a product engineer. Here's how I went about it…
