I love working in Zed. It really is a delight to use, and I think the Agentic coding integration is really well done. I'm excited to see them investing in this space more. I unders…

I think it is a very common misconception (by consumers or businesses trying to use LLMs) that fine tuning can be used to inject new knowledge. I'm not sure many of the fine-tuning…

Nah, we're pretty happy with the new trajectory. :)

We're (fixie.ai) working on on our SLM (speech language model). We'll release something soon to play with :)

This is a great idea. We'll add it.

Thanks for trying it out! That's good feedback on the voice. It's actually a voice clone of a real voice actor, but I agree there are moments where it still feels not quiittee ther…

Yeah it's a great question. We're still exploring how far we can take this. I think we'll be able to get pretty basic examples working in 3.5 (like the Recipe example), but more co…

Yeah, great feedback. We'll have a bunch more examples that vary in complexity coming out in the next couple of weeks.

Short answer: yes! We think this is actually a super compelling use case, and there are a few different ways to accomplish it. We already support auth mechanisms like Oauth, and th…

You can use both Langchain and GPT Index with Fixie Agents. We're fans of what they've built, and they can be great tools.

As a quick correction, the current Web Payments API (PaymentRequest) that is making its way through the W3C process is at https://w3c.github.io/browser-payment-api/ . It's not the …

What was interesting to me, though, was this bit: "Applying the same law which holds taxi companies responsible for the injuries caused by their drivers, whether or not they have a…

Another great translation of these is by two brothers, David and C. Scott Hicks. It's called The Emperor's Handbook[1], and is an attempt to translate them in a way that is less li…

I really like this, but one big complaint is that the auto-scroll after completing a little task isn't correct. So each time after I "pass" a particular section, I have to manually…

There are many goals to meditation. Sometimes it starts with focusing on your breath. Sometimes it's in the form of chanting. Depends on the school of thought, the individual, the …

This was done in InDesign. You could do it in Word, but it's going to be more difficult. If you're on a Mac I would recommend Pages. I'm not as familiar with Windows, so couldn't r…

I usually try to make mine look a little more "modern." I usually follow a few simple rules: 1.) Two or three colors color scheme 2.) Simple vertical alignment 3.) 2 fonts: 1 for h…

I live in China, so I did a quick test with my coworkers. 4 people. Two phone calls each. Each conversation we dropped the word 'protest' in both English and Chinese. No magical dr…

I think so. I've done a lot of travelling abroad, and as an American who only speaks English, I was always a little bit ashamed that I could only manage one language. The shame was…
