I was interested in reading this until my slop detector went off at the paragraph starting with “It's worth being precise about where the benefit comes from, because it isn't raw speed.” I love AI, but I really hate reading it.

It obviously is! Human pattern-matching abilities are rather amazing, and unfortunately I've seen so much AI text that it instantly flagged in my brain within 3 seconds of opening the page. Pangram agrees: https://www.pangra

This is a genuine question and not intended as an insult: do you have a personality disorder?

I love cars and driving them. But the modded Corolla/Civic/Accord/Camry (why) people have always driven me crazy because their mods often seem directed to inflicting their cars on everyone else, with loud exhaust, subwoofers,

Does USAA sell the servicing too? Most credit unions sell their mortgages, but as long as they retain the servicing rights (which seems to be less and less), the borrower should be in good hands.

Well, as a 2 week tenured and very happy Railway customer until now, I am now a Render customer. Somehow DNS cut over within 1 min(!) and live after about 30 minutes of work. Not bad!

I’m a new customer and have been falling in love with Railway over the last 2 weeks, but this is quite the wake up call.

As a new customer of about 2 weeks, it was a lovely run with Railway until this afternoon!

I am a personal injury lawyer, and am therefore biased. But I submit that they are decidedly not undifferentiated - the problem is that there is no real way for you to differentiate them. If I were seriously injured, there are about 10 pe

Only a handful! I am a terrible marketer and have no idea how to promote things.

Claude and I (mostly Claude) built a web app for lawyers that uses Gemini to extract (and calculate, where necessary) court dates and deadlines from a PDF scheduling order and output them in a structured format. The user can then select whi

For some reason, most of the AI-focused subreddits, like r/OpenAI, r/Anthropic, etc., seem to convey a sense of mass mental illness or delusion. For example, r/OpenAI is 95% focused on how OpenAI is horrible for taking away t

I am in Copenhagen for the first time and was wondering why there were 20+ people waiting in line at various ATMs last night. I think this explains it!

It’s a fair question and I find your comment to be an interesting example of resorting to a conspiracy theory because you don’t understand something that’s easily explainable. The Boeing 737-800 has batteries that power certain things in th

It would be unsurprising if someone who named a company after themselves turned out to be a narcissist who couldn’t help themselves. https://ma.tt/2003/04/hit-diggity/

1. If filed by a lawyer, no. The clerk will just issue a summons. 2. In order to compel a person to appear a proceeding, the court must have personal jurisdiction over the person as a defendant, or if the person is a witness and not a defen

I love seeing your spelling of his name! It took me years to realize that his first name is Jack, not Jackery. It’s Jack Rhysider.

Apple has sued them. So has Meta, and the Supreme Court recently declined an NSO appeal, which means the lawsuits can proceed. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-lets-metas-wh...

I’m a lawyer and listening to this call was absolutely painful. I like to think I’m a pretty decent negotiator, and agree that there was likely a few million here were this handled competently. Don’t be afraid to bring people in when someth

Man, I have a totally opposite view about LLMs expressing creator’s values. Not only do they express them, they don’t STOP expressing them to the point of utter annoyance. Any remotely PG topic ends with a safety caveat, e.g., “however, it’

Observational hypothesis based on 5 minutes with the app (and asking it to repeat the prompt it was given): This does not use any OpenAI service to analyze the image. Rather, it’s using some other image, recognition model to generate a desc

Aside from the question of whether this plan was legal, DoNotPay seems like a terrible product. The results it generates seem laughably bad, and it’s questionable whether “AI” is actually involved when it takes them literal days to generate

Does the house have coax wiring for cable tv? If so, get a pair of MoCA Ethernet adapters. I have 2.5Gbps ones running across a large house and they are rocksolid reliable.

Why is this a problem? She’s representing a client and putting up what she thinks is the most effective way to argue their case. Amazon will put up whatever they think their best defense is. A court will decide who is correct.
