And no one wants to take action, they want others to. Anthropic CEO urges AI companies to slow model development amid fears over misuse [1]. If they truly believe that, they would announce "we are slowing model development." http

Much how we have mostly evolved away from physical labor and now need to go to the gym to maintain fitness. I imagine LLMs will do the same for our cognitive acuity.

I'm rooting for electric planes not because I prefer them over rail but bc I share your disappointment and pessimism about American railway. I much rather take a train but when Amtrak NYC<->DC costs as more than a plane, leaves f

These kind of startup excite me. More so than the "next killer app" or "look what we shoved AI into." Cheap electric transportation can finally offset USA's lacking rail commutes and attack Europe's short fligh

Gruez was spot on, our last car was 15 years old. Though I don't know if his stat considered resold cars. We wouldve kept it too but the work it needed was $8k. Parts were available and already imported, just that mechanics in the area

Hey someone needs to attend dinners and rub elbows. Technical leaders are the strongest but mostly csuite is useful for their connections.

I was wondering that too. I suppose if we take it to the extreme end of the spectrum, "end world hunger" is a great decision but how to actually realize it is another problem.

I have anecdotal experience that makes the ~$1,600 per house hold feel like an underestimate. We purchased a Subaru Outback right around the first round of tarrifs. We were in the market for the base trim, no bells & whistles. We ended

There are three parts of this talk, the last part (~last 15mins) bluntly address the question "how human roles shift in a world with advanced AI?" My main takeaways from the speaker's position are: purely technical skills wil

Tell ya what. Go ahead and prompt your agent to build your next project completely from assembly. Why even bother with the higher level inefficiency since it'll be compiled away. Report back how productive debugging is and the velocity

Mozilla has been killing itself. $400mil a year and very little to show for it in the browser. I still rep Firefox but ladybird could not come sooner.

If you are serious about health tracking, get a device that specializes in that and knows what they are doing -- get a polar. They publish papers on the science behind their technology. Many professional athletes do heart tracking with pola

A hobby is something you enjoy the process of doing, not just the end result. Everybody likes a clean home, but cleaning is rarely a hobby. LLMs expedite achieving the end result. Take from that what you will.

I used to read their blog regularly because it had lots of interesting technical details. Lately, though, there’s less of that, and I can’t quite put my finger on what changed. My guess is that they realized how popular the blog had become

So this wallet thing is an identity, so when I have to use it on various sites then they effectively don't need cookies anymore to track me?

They don't want models to become commodities. Then people won't pay them.

Oh cry me a river. You went full tilt ahead scrambling before safeguards were set up and now want to set up safeguards protect your models from commoditization. Now that you've gotten your footing you preach about the dangers of powerf

Some of the code bases I have at work are legacy spaghetti -- hard to reason about. I too employ the prompt and pray strategy and then see if CI fails. I can only be surgical where I already have a grasp on the codebase, or if I was involve

It really depends on th SDLC of the codebase. I've sat in the park with a pad and pen and wrote down ideas for a small-ish utility that had both a DB and some low level systems interaction. I designed all the interfaces, control flow,

The thing is, AI is a productivity boost but staff drive all the productivity. The catch 22 is AI is expensive so in order to provide it to everyone they need to reduce staffing. The result is remaining folks are able to produce more but th
