The U.S. leadership has a bad habit of starting conflicts that the bulk of the population doesn't want, which leads to large political costs and resulting half-measures. Our current leadership literally ran on "no more wars."

I wonder if this is a sign of things to come for dirt-cheap model hosting: no servers running old versions, only new versions. Just to keep costs down.

Gemini is still my top choice within production software for typical data extraction from unstructured data. Gemini Flash Lite feels like a cheat code for speed, and it's really cheap. Some other Chinese models are also fast and cheap,

It’s an extremely consistent experience, and you can sit in the front seat (something I like personally). With Uber and taxi services, you never know what kind of driver or ride you’re going to get.

You really have to believe your own narrative to do well as a startup founder, even when evidence is initially scant. This likely also has a tendency to slide into self-delusion.

I'm tired of being strung along on these silly narratives. I can't wait for open-weight models to be deployed around the world just so people like Dario will shut up about the mystical levels of power these models have.

They built a comparison harness between the old and the new query, and ran it across thousands to benchmark and ensure valid results. And then I reviewed the PR.

Yes, I’m a senior engineer at a 3-engineer startup, and there isn’t “junior-level” or “senior-level” work here. It’s all just work. Claude allows me to tear through the kind of gruntwork I’ve been doing ad nauseam for the last 15 years. If

It was the BEAM process/actor model that fit much better for managing agents, and then there was the out-of-the-box live UI with Phoenix/LiveView that was really appealing. I had started the project in Typescript/Node (becaus

We're in an interesting time where my framework/stack choice is now much less dictated by existing engineer expertise and more about fundamental capabilities in the framework and stack themselves. I ended up building an agent orch

I guess what we don't know is how many people are on these flights, before or after Trump.

You don’t have to exercise at all though. The far greater majority are people who don’t like exercise at all, and won’t do anything. To have a person do at least some exercise of any form is a big win for their health anytime it happens. Th

You definitely seem to have a much lower exposure level to flagship AI models. I manage fleets of AI agents (and manage engineers who manage fleets of AI agents) all day for my job, and I’m rarely touching code anymore. It’s not perfect, bu

I also wonder if it will develop a negative stigma as a cheap beater truck used in company fleets and such.

Redesigned and rearchitected our company's backend and mobile apps in about 2 months with 1 engineer and 1 PM trained to work with Claude. We used a custom-built multi-agent harness to crank through lots of parallel tasks, which necess

As a Claude Code user, you almost certainly will. Even using the same OpenAI model with an agent like Codex will likely perform better. An agent can test and iterate on its own solution until it meets the defined success metrics. If you’re

Which LLM though? Models can still be significantly different in their capabilities.

People here seem a little confused. This is a simulator in the same way Goat Simulator is a simulator. It’s from a collection called “screen toys” and it’s meant to be mindless fun.

Well, the author specifically mentions the puzzle of how it produces nicotine. Nicotine was first identified and isolated as a chemical in 1828, based on a quick google. So, no one was wondering about nicotine production before then because

I had been considering getting a Bambu printer precisely for this reason. I had gotten into 3d printing in the reprap era, before selling it off due to lack of space. I don’t really want to get back into that constant calibration and test p
