If Waymo has taught me anything, it’s that people will eventually accept robotic surgeons. It won’t happen overnight but once the data shows overwhelming superiority, it’ll be adopted.

Per the article, all current European data centers used 62 million cubic meters of water for 2024. That is 3.4% of only Spain's existing desalination capacity (≈1.8 billion m³/yr). Seems like this is solvable: 1. Keep rolling ou

Upvoting this since presumably you're actually the CTO at Snyk and people should see your official response, but wow this feels wildly irresponsible. You could have proved the PoC without actually stealing innocent developer credential

This has been my experience. Lots of companies are implementing LLMs but are not advertising it. There's virtually no upside to being public about it.

I know of many, many LLM systems in production system, since that's what I've been helping companies build since the start of the year. Mostly it's pretty rote automation work but the cost savings are incredible. Agentic work

Presumably one of the PMs you’re referring to has posted this article for additional information. Feels like they’re doubling down on their initial position. https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/81870

Wild response. It appears you did not learn a single lesson through this process.

There are legit criticisms of Sam Altman that can be levied but none of them are in this article. This is just reductive nonsense. The arguments are essentially: 1. The technology has plateaued, not in reality, but in the perception of the

Good. In the US, we should all wake up to the fact that we enjoy the lives we lead in large part to the fact that we’re able to project strength. AI will be another piece in the puzzle of national defense.

Seems reasonable? If you’re planning on staying free forever and are already gated to 90 days of history, why would you care if they delete 1+ year old content? From a privacy perspective, I’d even say it’s a positive update.

Yeah. I enjoy it for watching movies/shows, especially while flying. I also like to do a couple of hours of work (programming) in a cool environment with immersive music every couple of days. I keep it on my standing desk and when I st

Feels like this is going to become one of those things we look back on in retrospect and regret. We should be full steam ahead on identifying what effects microplastics & phthalates more broadly are having on our health & adjust acc

Wow. I understand business models that are freemium but for a premium priced B2B product? This feels like an incredible rug pull. This changes things for me.

Seems that way. From the announcement: "This is a big bet. Automattic is doubling down on chat after their acquisition last year of Texts.com, a messaging app with a similar mission. Our teams and products will merge, and I will take o

I'm not sure when OpenAI added them, but you can hear similar things when using the ChatGPT voice mode on iOS. Sometimes it feels almost like a latency stutter and other times it feels intentionally human.

Fantastic news. I use them all the time in Phoenix. My mom uses them to get to her doctor appointments. I think people underestimate how much of a quality of life improvement these are for people even when compared to Uber/Lyft.

Seems like a big deal that this is open weights. Am I missing something or is this a very serious contender to Stable Diffusion?

Is your contention that all of these websites and providers all simultaneously decided, incorrectly, to use these popups and that there is no legal requirement for them?

I feel like the title massively underplays the accomplishment. This is now the number two preferred LLM response in a blind comparison, only behind GPT-4. For a model created by a small team in Paris to be ahead of Gemini Pro, Claude, GPT-3

Not sure it's worth putting a lot of weight behind an anonymous source when it directly contradicts a lot of what Pepsi has said publicly[1]. There is a whole movement to short Tesla and a lot of blogs & social media purposefully p

It seems the operating loss may have been expected for the quarter and the CFO's departure could be unrelated. Always difficult to tell in these scenarios but the Sphere officially opened on September 29th. I find it hard to believe th

I like to think of all responses from LLM's like the top-rated post on Stack Overflow or a top five blog post from a Google search. It's helpful information that _may_ be correct but needs to be verified. A lot of the time, it&#x2

Worked on a team doing nationwide MLS feeds via a variety of sources eg IDX, VOW, etc. Feels like some sort of arcane art after a certain point trying to get everything to play nicely on a unified interface.
