Just the intro section pretty much sums up perfectly my experience of using Astra (and prior AI models from OAI and Anthropic) for building large and semi-ambitious software. One step forward, two steps back.

The 512GB Ultra is amazing, sure. But who is it for exactly? VC funded big spender founders? In that case why would they need local AI? The ultra rich enthusiast? But there can't be too many of those. So who actually buys these?

Haha I immediately looked for this comment and wondered if the name was inspired by Anathem.

Yes it's interesting and I'm by no means certain how I will feel inside one either. But people are also highly adaptable so we'll see how it goes. Edit: also this older concept image shows windows: https://www.jetz

I don't mind no windows at all if they have "digital windows" as substitutes. You're already 40,000ft in the air I think windows aren't really gonna help your claustrophobia. Not like you can open the door and walk

Yes, but open weights means you don't have to use their cloud providers. Someone in the US can host the model on their own infra.

I wonder if Anthropic just has better drafter models for speculative decoding and more efficient prompt caching in their agent harness.

Do you think the barbarians are at the gates of OpenAI and Anthropic? If cheaper, open weights models can seriously take revenue away from those two labs for (frontier - 1) model use cases (which are the models most enterprises will choose)

Why will they have to raise prices eventually?

> Fwiw I find social media scores corny I agree. We've had large and thriving online forums for at least a decade before upvote systems became ubiquitous and things were just fine.

Is that impressive? If an LLM is just spewing out code which it has been trained on extensively then to me it's not that impressive at all. I want to see individual developers creating new software which previously took a whole team.

One place where fiber cables cannot reach would be... way up in the air. Think about how many people fly each day and then remember how poor internet connectivity and speeds are at 40,000 ft. So Starlink in flights seems like a perfect fit.

This was such a great read! Thank you! Too bad Oven Inc never got more headcount. Otherwise the engineers could've had a day hackathon week while the managers and founder went to a retreat for a strategy offsite.

Nah, it's a guy named Matt Deitke and he was 24 at the time.

So have they just given up on llama then? What happened to the 25 year old Zuck paid $250M for?

This is extremely misleading and not very useful. It makes little sense to use pricing per GB during decades when RAM was at most in MBs. In that case, why not talk about price per TB or PB? Then the line will look pretty much flat and hori

I can definitely relate. My brain also wants to take the path of least effort now, even for simple things like adding two numbers which I could do very quickly in my head in my college days. And with AI the path of least (initial) effort se

> Difference is, humans learn from their mistakes. Great! So next time the human will prompt the agent to watch out for and avoid this bug.

damn! then what's happens at the EU where the "goals of the organization" are themselves to increase and champion bureaucracy?

Very good. Just look at Gemma 4.

I like the concept. It would indeed be good to have a modern component library with AI design tropes as I think the old components libs haven't caught up. But in this particular case I must say, a lot of the components here just look p

Useful concept but missing some obvious features like filtering on availability of tool calling or support for different modalities, etc.

I really like the agentic search feature that can keep you updated. Basically an ifttt but built into google search with an LLM on top.

Was this a Tesla with HW3 or HW4? Also, was it in the US or outside the US?

I hadn't heard of TanStack but a quick look at their website doesn't inspire confidence tbh. I mean, just take "TanStack Pacer". It provides such things as: ``` import { Debouncer } from '@tanstack/pacer'

As in, htmx is better? I haven't used it but last I looked into it I was extremely confused as to whether it was a meme, an actual framework, or both.

A lot of the LLMs are very familiar with next.js and vercel is also aggressively building an ecosystem around their tooling for LLMs. So I wonder if this problem will only be exacerbated when everyone using LLMs is strongly nudged (forced)

Nope. I've been working on this project for a couple of days now and things were mostly going well. A significant portion of the mvp backend and frontend was built and working. Then this one seemingly simple bug appeared and just total
