Re per token, I had the same reaction, but given both labs are economically advantaged moving customers to per-token consumption... almost want to avoid this on principle. Even if not intentional, benefitting from a degraded product is not

I’m not sure it will cause a reversal, but I bet the k8s takeover wouldn’t have happened with costs of today. You inherently end up using far more resources than you need - between HA, built in services, overhead per node, etc. I personally

I’d imagine you could seed it more easily by focusing on top 50 routes by passenger count in domestic USA. Then go from flight schedules for top airlines into tail numbers into body types etc.

Big fan. One feature idea/request - a map showing coverage with 0-100% by route (red/yellow/green lines). I’m just curious to see where I should think to look for / expect starlink options. Probing into a few upcoming tr

Philosophical question, but after reaching critical mass, should languages even aspire to more? I.e. do you risk becoming "master of none"? What's wrong with specialist languages? I.e. best of breed vs best of suite? I agree

Yeah... requires serious mental gymnastics to argue otherwise. Military/terrorist group procures communication devices to coordinate military operations. Explosive is sized to injure the holder, not bystanders - per CCTV videos, eg: h

What response would you suggest for Israel? My understanding is their civilian vs combatant ratio is lower than comparable urban conflicts. So it’s hard to respond “softer”. Population adjusted, 10/7 was 10x+ worse than 9/11. Chal

Are tariffs already in place or is this just a thinly-veiled scapegoat for haircutting traffic allocation by 95%? To a customer, it certainly feels like a bait and switch to sell a subscription product and once customers are embedded materi

It's translation (text -> text), not speech -> text.

Do they report the % of revenue from AI / data center chips vs all others? Or is there a way to derive it? Surprising to hear the slump given what we're seeing in AI-driven GPU demand. I guess that's just not as meaningful a

It's a collection of interviews posted in the form of a library. So bit blog-like in structure, but just a collection of ideas on how to leverage this new tech.

I'm starting to outline them here: ctlresearch.com . Upcoming interviews with Chief Architect at Intuit, Head of Procurement at DoD, etc. DoD already shortened process of writing structured "requests from industry" from 3 mon

This is reminiscent of the USA vs Microsoft case in 2001... I wonder how much the antitrust team at Microsoft gets a say in product decisions like this. Just feels like they're toeing a line... https://en.wikipedia.org/

Maybe not the right term... Just that a lot of other libs act like guardrails, i.e. let the model generate what it does (in full form text / GPT output), and try to then parse out what you want, error if output doesn't conform to

Seen a lot of things trying to do this by pressure testing the outputs, but all feel like anti-patterns. This is the first that seems like the "right" way to do it. Better to manage how the model is generating vs creating one more

Very cool! Could definitely see myself using this. Out of curiosity, what's the visualization library you're using to generate the boxes/lines/zoom in-out canvas? Or is that all native to your app? Building something unr

Vintage 2020-2024+ are going to be some of the worst for PE, after a 40 year bull run driven by rates going from 20% in 1981 to 0% in 2021. Now there's too much capital in the hands of people who have been trained for years that to be

Incredibly well positioned vs WhatsApp, iMessage, etc in the new world of LLM-enabled agents / chat bots… I’d put money on others launching similar things. Hard to see the current web UI remain the long-term format on mobile, maybe web

On this topic, Apple is the sleeping giant. Sleeping tortoise maybe. Everyone else has been fast out of the gates, but Apple has effectively already been positioning to leap frog everyone after a decade+ of M1 chip design. Ever since these

Big fan of this... suspect a lot of the modern SaaS BI / analytics players would benefit. Just end up hitting limits trying to use Javascript to render large datasets, having tried to build some of this myself. Happy to share some pote

Would be incredible if the lab leak in China was intentional and they ended up saving the US by increasing the birth rate!

Yep... I bet this is about to pull forward a lot of startup death. Gun now to VC heads to save things. Forcing decisions they were hoping they wouldn't have to make for at least another 6-12 months.

What’s the lag time between launch orders and actual launches? Wonder if we’re looking at a 9-12 month trailing indicator of health and the broader tech reset is dampening orders in the last 2-3 months.

Speaking as someone who came from PE, agree that higher rate environment means both better investment alternatives and also more expensive capital for LBOs. That said, the firms with fresh capital can make a ton of money buying into this

It’s challenging to actually buy a Raspberry Pi these days unfortunately. All the official resellers are out of stock of all the other models and resellers have these on eBay for 3-4x the list price. Maybe this one will be in stock for long

This is the type of investing one (at least me) dreams of doing if you're fortunate enough to get to $B+ in net worth. Sam knows enough people who knows how this tech works to get a read on quality / achievability, and if he gets

I think it's easy to assume government agencies have weak / outdated tech, but the SEC is notoriously pretty advanced in how they identify bad actors. Think about situations where someone is passing information to a friend who doe

Worth checking out Snowplow Analytics as a self-hosted version of Mixpanel. Good guys out of London that have largely bootstrapped it, but the business is pretty big now -- some good customers using it at large scale.
