You don't neccesarily have to fallback across models. Both Anthropic and AWS Bedrock provide the same models with the same API at different endpoints and different infra. So if you have a proxy endpoint to point users at, that specific

This is not super on topic, but ANW is the US version of the Japanese TV show Sasuke, which is itself inspired by the Adventure Zone segment on Takeshi's Castle. So, yes, it is connected.

They are actually selling really well. But sadly, they are selling because you can drill out the 'recording' indicator light and use them to secretly record people to make creepy TikToks.

The article is cool, and it is fun to build a custom version - just sharing a little more info on this. They've had this feature out of the box on a few Bambu models for quite a while now. It was part of the H2 series, and the A2L is t

Anthropic's own frontend-design skill attempts to do that. You can install it in Claude Code, or you can tweak it to be closer to your own style: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/p

This is such an interesting case because all sides are talking past each other and it doesn't really fit the pattern of past vendor lock-in / open source scandals. It's nuanced. Empirically compared to most tech products in 2

I looked into it seriously at one point. Essentially, you are adding another zero to the cost to have hidden solar. A 20k solar install becomes a 200k+ solar roof install. Even if the final result is great, the economics shrink the possible

On the same topic but from a slightly different angle - as SOTA models get more capable, the 'quality' and 'feel' of the experience they provide in each domain is heavily dependent on the reinforcement learning the vend

It's weird to read an article about how AI is ruining Lake Tahoe, with a map illustrating the problem, when the map itself has the world's most generic "100% generated by Claude" UI ever. I'm not saying there's

First, Japan doesn't make the Switch in Japan. They are made in Vietnam and China. So having a weak local currency isn't super helpful. Second, the largest price increase is for the local Japanese market (and they are increasing t

DRAM prices increase everywhere, so it should affect the worldwide market in the same way. But Nintendo is raising prices mostly in Japan. Japan's local currency devaluation is more about US vs Japan differences in central bank policy

This is a large price rise in domestic (Japanese) markets, with a small rise in other countries. This is impacting Japanese consumers the most. Nintendo is a very Japanese-centric, proud company. For those not aware, Nintendo has been avoid

No, they are 3.5kW - 5kW standard EV chargers. But it's probably easy to install them using the existing power run. But you are right that standard wall charging is much more viable in a 230V system here than in the US. Some people jus
