FYI, 3.8 Flash is available on aistudio.google.com (along with all of their other models) But yeah, they really dgaf about gemini.google.com -- I dropped that sub in April when it was clear OAI and Anthropic had lapped them

There's an interview that got scrubbed from the internet with Zach on the 20VC podcast with Harry Stebbings. This comment and its lack of self-awareness exemplify what was on display for 60 minutes. Zach is undoubtedly smart but for an

Balaji Srinivasan is one of those guys who I don't get. Specifics elude me but I recall his activities getting memory holed, his twitter timeline getting scrubbed, and completely new narratives being written about him. I was also never

The really fun part was after getting billing finally set up in the cloud console trying to find what model name you actually have to use to call it via the API. Conflicting information? Sure! Gemini cloud help being useless? Naturally. Oh

To get the reduced rate many municipalities will require you to visit an office, somewhere you likely have to take transportation to, during office hours (aka working hours), and provide documentation to prove this. This isn't really u

Yep, Peter Drucker wrote about this all the way back in 1964. > The competition is therefore all the other activities that compete for the rapidly growing “discretionary time” of a population His examples were bowling ball manufacturer

You're not wrong. My perspective from someone who wants to understand this new AI landscape in good faith. The water issue isn't the show stopper it's presented as. It's an externality like you discuss. And in comparison

So you are saying that test driven development is: a) not useful for you and your use cases b) never useful in any use cases c) sometimes useful but not for you

Our car culture in the U.S. means drive thrus can capture a significant portion of sales. Starbucks/Dunkin/McDonald’s do that. It’s very rare to find a local coffee shop in the U.S. with a drive-thru.

Perhaps it's more that we are looking at it from different levels. A contrived example to illuminate: If I'm running a lawn care company in the desert I can get all those annoying details right and still be unsuccessful. So strate

There's an old Drucker quote "there's nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all." If you're in the wrong market or building for the wrong customers you can execute brilliantly on e

What exactly did your work flow look like for the gpt-5-medium refactor you did? I don't have a test like that on hand so I'm really curious what all you prompted the model, what it suggested, and how much your knowledge as a SWE

Beat for beat what has happened in Ohio. Same for enshrining abortion rights in our state constitution. The state legislature is hostile to the will of the people.

When I watched the video I had the subtitles on. The automatic transcript is pretty good. "Test-time" which is used frequently gets translated as "Tesla" so watch out for that.

I get what you're saying about perception being reality and that ARC-AGI suggests beating it means AGI has been achieved. In practice when I have seen ARC brought up, it has more nuance than any of the other benchmarks. Unlike, Humanit

Ah, this sheds light on the silence around the Windsurf acquisition: OpenAI and Microsoft are at a standoff over the terms of the startup’s $3 billion acquisition of the coding startup Windsurf, the people said. Microsoft currently has acc

FYI, OpenAI acquired Windsurf so valuation is not an issue. I don’t know Varun (their founder/CEO) personally but I get highly competent vibes from him. I’d let my skeptical self lean on your optimistic take.

Yes, someone who truly wants greatness should be able to hear a poorly thought our argument, cognitively question the counter party to help them articulate exactly what they are thinking, or even articulate it better themself. Then you can

GPUs, very good for pretraining. Inefficient for inference. Why? For each new word a transformer generates it has to move the entire set of model weights from memory to compute units. For a 70 billion parameter model with 16-bit weights tha

You're right, but I think the general public is largely ignorant about calories and nutrition. Even basics like 4 cals per gram of protein and carbohydrate, 7 for alcohol, 9 for fats. Or even what a carbohydrate really is versus a &quo

And while this works for you, labor and employment attorneys use your non-standard application of the rules as a way to win lawsuits when brought against the company. Another way we end up with annoying, tedious, and distracting compliance
