    Adding onto this I and many others have asked for a ui extension API to actually make use of AI tools and they've adamantly refused. Until someone else with the time and resources …

    I shipped an internal company application using SwiftUI a couple of years ago and the author pretty much nailed all of my pain points. At the very least in JavaScriptLand™ you are …

    ``` #![cfg_attr(not(test), no_std)] ``` Test code doesn't need to live on the device itself. You can call no_std code from std code and tell the compiler "hey, this code is only ra…

    If you're using it for hobby projects and you're budget constrained yeah. If you're making a sales pitch the $3500 is an investment in raising sales.

    Why does this need an entirely separate repo instead of being a feature in the existing Codex project?

    The moat never was and will never be the models, it's the hardware. This is exactly like nuclear weapons: The recipe for a nuke isn't a hidden secret. Getting the infrastructure an…

    The argument is that it will make $OAI and $ATHR billions of dollars because U.S. customers with deep pockets will have nowhere to go but the "vetted as safe and verified model pro…

    When talking about "open source" models no one is talking about the legal framework and textual doctrine of open source. They simply want to know: "can I run this on hardware I own…

    It is a given. Unless the Trump admin figures out how to ban 1s and 0s, you can't stop Chinese labs from open sourcing their models. They can certainly ban new providers from using…

    I like XKCD but I don't really agree with the underlying premise of this one. When I was in the Netherlands, one of the global gold standards in terms of urban planning and design,…

    A more plausible explanation: People were told for years they can't use Rust for their new projects because it hasn't been "proven" in industry yet. So the option was to sit back a…
