Go ahead and ask it for music that's similar to a song you like. For that use case, I promise it's just way better than anything in the past. Pandora, Spotify Radio, anything.

In my experience, I could choose like, Steve Lacy radio from the song list, and it won't give me anything that sounds like Steve Lacy. It'll give me music that people who like Steve Lacy also like. But, if I ask the DJ for music l

Spotify seems to use an LLM for their new DJ feature, and it honestly is way better than any other music recommendation service I've ever tried. It will give you music that actually sounds like the music you ask for. What I'm exci

I think it more likely reflects using bigger phones, where swiping across a while keyboard is quite slow, but also, I hate typing with two hands with any other app than Fleksy. You just have to hit within the general area of the key and it

The thing is, with Fleksy, as long as you get within a few characters of the letter, it counts, and you also switch auto-correct choices by swiping up or swiping down, so you can fix them easily. It's a joy to type with 2 hands, honest

But none of us decide what our cage looks like, now. Our cage now is capitalism, wage labor, disease, death, suffering. We already are tossing the environment in the meat grinder, and many people already have very limited freedom of movemen

Is a human zoo such a bad outcome? We stake our identities on being in control and on top, but do we need to be? Clearly the author is invested in his image of us as rulers—this is an emotional appeal as much as a pragmatic one. Say we solv

I don't really get swiping. It's always going to be quicker and more efficient to type because you can use both hands, right? And you don't have to swipe your finger across the screen? Still going strong with Fleksy even thou

13 billion in revenue, 7.5 in cost of revenue. Can we finally put to bed the idea that inference is subsidized?

Fable was trying to verify a UI change in my game. I was working in another window and noticed a program opening on my task bar. Fable had opened the game through the CLI using a movie maker tool, recorded the output, took a frame from the

Very well said. People are making a lot of claims when very little knowledge of the financials is public. If you actually look at the numbers, there are plenty of ways in which API revenue and forgotten subs could more than make the differe

They are losing money because they are training new models and building new data centers. The claim of the video is that they're losing money just serving current AI models. There's just no evidence of that.

Ahh yes, the "human dignity" of billions of people toiling away to make Americans cheap widgets. There never was dignity to capitalism. We can strive to replace it with something better.

If you paid attention to proponents of a wealth tax in the US, you would be aware that they only ever suggest it for vast wealths of like $10 million+.

Yeah the multi-agent workflow just hasn't been satisfying to me. The more chats I try to run at once, the more I got lost and overwhelmed. I trust Claude to implement a plan correctly after I've reviewed it, but if I don't re

Yeah but the tech doesn't end here. Sure, it doesn't make anybody particularly happy that the tech started here. It's kind of a bummer to automate creative labor that gets social esteem so early on. But that's not the

Speaking specifically about food insecurity and homelessness in the US, it's not simply greed, it's "just deserts" ideology. It's a belief in the lack of merit of the poor to receive help. Speaking globally, there a

That's not a very good analogy. When the mine closes, democracy doesn't save the town, because the town only has control over the economic activity inside of it. AI or no AI, the US will still have control over the economic activi

Exactly! The rich don't want to see mass starvation any more than the rest of us. We only permit homelessness and food insecurity now because of scarcity and a "just deserts" mentality where we blame people for their lot in l

Democracy is what allows regular people to have negotiating power vs the rich, and the majority of these battles are actually won through legislation, not union negotiation. I understand that regular people have lost faith in democracy, and

Counterpoint: Work sucks. Of the billions of workers on the planet, the number of them who love their job and would truly be doing it even if they didn't need to in order to survive is probably in the low single digits. Hating work is

Exactly, and that's why this maxim about "understanding the code base" being the bottleneck is also somewhat misleading. Claude is even better at helping you understand the code base then it is at writing code! It can look at

Thanks for the genuine response. When you put it like that, though, if all seems a little ambiguous. Like, Dario isn't necessarily lying, and there's no proof he is, and on the contrary, the company continues to get investment fro

We don't need AI in the same way we don't need washing machines and dryers. Like, sure, we don't need a machine to do our laundry, just like we don't need an AI to do our skilled labor, but it sure saves us a lot of time

Thanks for the link. There's not much of an argument here from Ed, though, besides that it's an unusual way to view or report margins. But it's not that unusual, right? If I build a house this year and sell it next year, the

Thanks for the link. I'll admit I'm not an expert on the business side of this, but is this really much of a response? He seems to just call it strange accounting and then he moves on. It doesn't even feel like particularly s

Most small features take 80-150k tokens to implement, and most large features take 200-250k. For a hobbiest working like 10 hours a week, they can get stuff done but not nearly hit the weekly usage cap.

All subscription models are subsidized by users who don't use much. The fact that somebody on a $20 sub might get $50 in value isn't crazy if there are 3 people who only get $10 in value. This isn't some sign that the model i

Their bigger incentive is to deliver the best product in the cheapest way, because there is tight competition with at least 2 other companies. I know we all love to hate on capitalism but it's actually functioning fine in this situatio

Meh I looked up the definition: "having knowledge or perception of a situation or fact." They do have knowledge of the info, but they don't have perception of it.
