If you read the article you would have seen that researches believe adjusting personality traits like neuroticism helps treat important mental health conditions more effectively than attacking the mental health condition directly.

Baker has one of the best movie adaptations, has been documented and reissued at nauseum and has worldwide acclaim and recognition. Sounds like mostly an inner-circle type of perspective.

They are purposely losing billions, this is a growth phase where all of the big AI companies are racing to grow their userbase, later down the line they will monetize that captured userbase. This is very similar to Uber which lost money for

But there are a ton of LLM powered products in the market. I have a friend in finance that uses LLM powered products for financial analysis, he works in a big bank. Just now anthropic released a product to compete in this space. Another fri

I'm confused with your second point. LLM companies are not making any money from current models? Openai generates 10b USD ARR and has 100M MAUs. Yes they are running at a loss right now but that's because they are racing to improv

Pretty can get in the way sometimes. I like your site, it's easy to ingest the information quickly. I might simplify the design of mine to make it more usable. There's a reason why hackernews is still looking like this!

Yes, it's very polarized. That being said, people have shown a lot of code produced by LLMs so I don't understand the dismissive argument you make at the end. Below is a link to a great article by Simon Willison explaining an LLM

A film screening aggregator website for independent film theaters in NYC powered by LLM agents. Right now it's able to collect data from more than 30 sites with all very funky html formats with no custom code for each site. When I bega

Hey I'm doing something similar for NYC! But focused on screenings with special appearances only. There's a lot going on here. Happy to share notes. [0] https://filmspotlight.org/

I created an agent to scan niche independent cinemas and create a repository of everything playing in my city. I have an LLM heavy workflow to scrape, clean, classify and validate the data. It can handle any page I throw at it with ease. Ve

Sounds like you asked Claude for a fix and it gave you a proper fix to your badly designed api endpoint. If it's an operation that's taking that long then yes, implementing it asynchronously is a good idea. If what you wanted was

I think you're definitely engaged, but not so much with the moment itself more with the act of taking photos. It does make you focus on the subject, but in a very specific way. Even in how you described it, the main focus was on captur

It's ironic to see people say this type of things and not think about old software engineer practices that are now obsolete because overtime we have created more and more tools to simplify the craft. This is yet another step in that ev

Dijkstra is clearly approaching the subject from an engineer/scientist more practical pov. His focus is on the application of the technology to solve problems, from that pov whether AI fits the definition of "human thinking"

The idealist and optimist part of technologists tend to block the understanding of the rather simple practicalities at play in geo politics.

The magnitude of the attack is not comparable. One thing is being a bad actor in a network owned by someone else where you can get monitored, caught and banned. Versus owning the network completely and amplifying messages with ease at scale

The audience of people that would get a Steam Deck and then emulate Switch games is so small that this is a no-issue for Nintendo. If you can do that you're probably not the target audience to begin with.

This is incredible. The quality of the writing is on another level, it's not just about throwing corporate jargon but weaving it through a nicely written piece. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to reading more comments from you.

Sounds like you haven't been to Miami before or don't know about the city demographics. Cuban population is massive, more people speak Spanish in and around miami than English these days. So yeah, he's home.

Family and friends have a bigger impact on ell being than you think. A lot of people in "dirty cities" are shown to live a happier and more fulfilling life with less when they have a strong community they're part of.

For a lot of people the fun and rewarding part is actually building and shipping something useful to users. Not solving complex puzzles / algoritic challenges. If AI gets me in front of users faster then I'm a happier builder.

AI assistants are also quite good at helping you create a high level map of a codebase. They are able to traverse the whole project structure and functionality and explain to you how things are organized and what responsibilities are. I jus
