    It's actually quite fascinating if you watch it for 5 minutes. Some models are overall bad, but others nail it in one minute and butcher it in the next. It's perhaps the best examp…

    Did you guys change the pricing of Exa? When I checked this a year or so ago, I might have gotten the impression that it was cheaper. Now, it costs the same as what Perplexity char…

    This is wild, but many studies have reached the same conclusion. I remember reading somewhere that heart transplant recipients have random memory flashes that are not their memorie…

    This is a very sneaky ethically gray company. Their app is not only of terrible quality but also full of dark patterns. I'm convinced that any revenue they make comes from people w…

    I'm a designer. I built brainglue.ai without Figma, a design system, or a UI library. I just went directly to code (react+tailwind) and let a style organically emerge. I'm not sayi…

    AppleTV+ is a tiny business. It's nowhere near of generating enough revenue to cover a $20B hole in content production costs. Yes, Apple generates LOTS of revenue overall, but that…

    I own a Model 3, and I honestly think it is the best car I have ever owned. Despite that, I know people who have ruled out owning a Tesla because they believe the brand mirrors Elo…

    No op, but I don’t think test-driven development resounds with everyone who writes code. I don’t want to write tests for everything. I just want to write the ones that matter.

    I think productivity is lower in the winter, so I'm not sure about quality per se, but intuitively it makes sense that anything written in the winter months is less verbose.

    GPTs is basically a ripoff of Poe by Quora. Quora’s CEO is Adam D’ Angelo. Adam D’ Angelo is one of OpenAI’s board members. Make your own conclusions.

    Unlikely. You can see that the model returns to normal behavior after it exhausts the context window that causes this. Instructions are consistently passed as system instructions i…

    One thing I have observed with the rise of generative AI is that the general direction everyone is pushing towards is to make the models behave deterministically when in principle,…

    Hey. I gave it a try to Continue and I think this is going in the right direction at least for me. I guess opinions on how this should work are subjective. But I do really like tha…

    I think there are several problems with these co-pilot solutions, but the most obvious ones are the context switching problem and the lack of steer-ability. Let's say I want to bui…

    Why is nobody in this space making good gains on UX? I have tried almost every co-pilot solution, including GitHub Co-Pilot with Chat and Labs, Cody, and a few random extensions. A…

    I think Ford might be scared of the cult-like culture that has been created around Tesla and/or Elon Musk. I'm not sure it's entirely clear what the Cybertruck means for Tesla or t…
