What's the biggest differentiator to GitHub (other than uptime). I keep hearing something along the lines of "GitHub for Agents" but would be great to hear from the devs of Origin what they actually think it means in tangible

I could imagine running multiple different AIs seeing if they agree if something is true. I imagine this is similar to how Twitter's/X's community notes work. Something along the lines of when you have two accounts that disag

I think this is the first real step from Stripe into token economics. They tried with a usage-based product, but from talking to stripe engineers, it sounds like there was less appetite than they thought. Could have been for many reasons, b

I had 2 MacBook Pros. One 2024 and one 2019. The 2024 one would connect fine to the internet, the 2019 one would not. After pasting in the airportd logs of both (into ChatGPT and Gemini) it found it was down to band switching (2.4GHz and 5G

I think there's some goldilocks speed limit for using these tools relative to your skillset. When you're building, you forget that you're also learning - which is why I actually favour some AI code editors that aren't as

I think this is the wrong way to think about it. In this case the "intelligent people who are wasted on finance and ads" are drawn to high-status, low-risk, well-paid jobs, with interesting problems to solve. If you want to solve

I think it has it's own "metal" services they're migrating customers to. Afaik they used GCP for "legacy" cloud services.

I'm becoming more convinced that this kind of rhetoric is usually peddled by individuals who haven't actually built anything notable (granted, that's most of us). If all you're doing is using AI to build products, by def

This reminds me of the Belgium 2003 election that was impossibly skewered by a supernova light years away sending charged particles which manage to get through our atmosphere (allegedly) and flipping a bit. Not the only case it's happe

I wonder if not just checking the site every day (or minute ) would solve for this. It's not necessarily the structure of the source data (the DOM, the HTML etc.) but rather the translator that needs to be contractually consistent. The

I thought this too, but I imagine it's a bit of pathetic fallacy for the reader's benefit else it would be (ironically) quite a boring read for us from the machine's perspective.

How do you know it's incompatible with the actual universe instead of our current understanding of the universe? Take us for example, we're communicating instantly (for practical purposes) using thinking machines - how would that

Isn't that the point of the dark forest theory? It's not the fact that there is a dangerous tribe behind a bush it's more that you don't know if they're dangerous or not so you have to err on the side of caution -

I think I know what you mean, in an ideal world - we wouldn't have bugs. You'd build a feature and it would work forever but that's rarely the case. I think of it as "offensive" and "defensive" building, i

This is a great read and exactly where I think the global economy is going - instead of large companies you'll have millions of medium sized businesses run by small teams still making a bit of a dent in their own niche universe. I do d

This probably means they are completely unable to differentiate between AI and non-AI else they would just discard the AI piles of applications.

I think this is right, it's a gamble. Discoveries and advancements are made by people tinkering with things without the mind to commercialise it.

I have a feeling people are overthinking the whole "we need to have a moat" and really the best moat you can have until you're a multi-million/billion dollar business is your craftsmanship (as silly as it sounds). Good U
