Open models are a good thing. OpenAI was open until it became obvious that being open was not going to pay for training costs and wouldn't help them get a competitive edge. I'd bet that if Meta gets to a place where their model is

I've tried this before and I think this constraint is something that has to be kept top of mind for a designer not just the engineer. Most designs these days assume a single page app and there are interaction patterns that make plain H

Once again there seems to be this deep misunderstanding by engineers that all lawyers do is draft docs like an engineer writes code. And if you can automate the doc creation process, you have automated the attorney. But this not true. It gr

The reason Facebook is where it is now is that when it was novel there was a lot of engagement. But as the novelty wore off, it became clear that your friends were not going to be able to produce the amount of interesting content you’d need

I think Tim Cook took Steve Job's vision and really took it to the moon. If you think about the last 15 years, Apple has really become the biggest possible version of itself without losing its values. Tech in general has changed quite

Articles like this amount to a straw man. People seem to think that just because it produces a bunch of code you therefore don’t need to read it or be responsible for the output. Sure you can do that, but then you are also justifying throwi

It certainly looks like an Apple device. Ive's aesthetic is Apple's aesthetic, so if you hire Ive, that is what you are going to get. I can see a car company who doesn't care about design stumbling into this outcome, but Ferr

This is no surprise. We are all learning together here. There are any number of ways to foot gun yourself with programming languages. SQL injection attacks used to be a common gotcha, for example. But nowadays, you see it way less. It’s sim

I think this is a genuine concern for prominent people. Like if you are Mark Zuckerberg, there is material interest in a bad actor installing malware on his laptop. But for a random person where you get low value data that may or may not le

People seem to ignore the cost and accuracy aspects of a phone listening to you 24/7. At least with today’s constraints, it is highly unlikely to be happening. First, the cost to transcribe audio is not free. It is computationally expe

Maybe it’s because the movies aren’t good and the plot lines are stale. Just a thought.

San Francisco uses RCV, and it’s not much better, maybe worse. Yes you get run off elections and more candidates. But now voters have to use strategy in how they vote and it’s complex to understand the implications. There’s a higher chance

This reminds me of when I went in to a Patagonia store to repair a jacket with a “lifetime” warranty. Turns out they define lifetime as the “useful” lifetime of the product, which is a couple years. They refused to help and instead tried to

Yes, it seems cruel to push young doctors to the limit like this. But I’ll offer a counterpoint: In an emergency, you want doctors who are used to making decisions under stress and who are aware of their impaired decision making abilities w

For models of this size, the code used to train them is going to be very custom to the architecture/cluster they are built on. It would be almost useless to anybody outside of Meta. The dataset would be more a lot more interesting, as

People take these kinds of things way too literally. There is no golden solution here. What gets repeated over and over continues to be true: teams should choose a system that works for them. And ideally that system is measurable, so the te

I’m not saying I would trust getting into a Waymo now in those conditions, but I also wouldn’t assume the same things that are difficult for humans will be difficult for self driving. I’m optimistic these hurdles can be overcome.

Your quote omits the qualifying part of that sentence, which is important. :-) What does it mean to "last longer" when it comes to your own codebase? And why would web components help with that?

It seems like Web Components are ideal for libraries shipping pre-built components, which is probably why Mux finds it compelling. From Mux's point of view, they want the highest level of compatibility with the least amount of framewor

It's ridiculous. I'm curious what the way out of this clown show will be - governments aren't typically known for being good at cutting back bureaucracy and red tape.

I'd love to be corrected here, but my understanding is that the enterprise support and pro features model can be a pretty good business. Big deployments generally need really good support and help to overcome scaling challenges. Who be

Yeah it's a total double dip, similar to ISPs trying to extort internet companies for access to their own customers.

Yes! There is a Staples near my house with a print center. Their prices for a job I needed done were so exorbitant that I bought a printer/scanner from the same store and broke even almost immediately. I have not returned to the store

The world would be a better place if we could all just be happy with standardized legal agreements: the pros/cons are easier to know ahead of time for both parties, you don't need much legal advice around them, and there isn'

Telling a lie is not illegal by itself. Telling a lie with the intent of harming someone, especially their reputation, is another story.
