Google display ads are completely unusable for me (not app ads). So much flagrant fraud. Like even the most simple of AI models could detect the fraud. Very disappointing.

I have a different perspective. Most of the world is software. The US Constitution is software. Companies are software. With AI, we can build so much more software, its incredible! How these systems are architected are complicated. Sure, if

It is correct to compare to average drivers because that is ultimately what they are going to replace. AVs are coming for the whole market, and if they are significantly safer than the average driver the average driver shouldn’t drive. I in

I was actually quite impressed with the AI note-taking and other features, and I could see myself using them, so I did like that. With health, I really wish Apple would truly lean into health...go nuts and try to become effectively a super

This has Demis written all over it. There is a great video of him with AlphaFold chatting with the team about releasing some results, and he asked something like “what if we just do them all?” Very excited to see that happen here.

Can you control it agentically? If so it’s has all the ai features I would want. I typically don’t care for built in ai features.

The games on mobile safari were broken. Buttons all misaligned in the kart racer one, the spaceship thing froze for a while, then kind of loaded but maybe not? Wasn't super compelling. I'm not trying to be too negative on it, it c

This is cool! As someone who's built based off of old Roomba platforms and other models, I feel like this looks pretty fun and a good price point. What do you think the next version will target? Will you stay educational and low price

I think the signal from Anthropic is pretty clear between Haiku not getting an update in a year and the Sonnet issues this year. They don't care about low intelligence models. You should go elsewhere. That's what we've done,

I’m just not convinced that most artists would change their behavior under no copyright, so somewhat agree. But the main issue is length of time. The fact that copyright is longer than patents makes no sense. Patents prove that a shorter pe

The government could always pay for results too, like $10B for something that does this. I don’t love it either and am not positive it is better than patents.

I would agree that there are a lot of people in this space, both products and roll your own. We are doing our own stuff here in our company right now, and could be interested. But for me, I didn't feel like i know enough to actually as

This is all solvable with abundance. We could put together nuclear power with solar and desalination and carbon removal. Let’s start acting more like a kardishev II civilization.

You realize his examples are public sector unions. Which mean the “employer” you are referring to is the citizens? Not some evil corporation, government mandated monopolies which then get taken over to serve their union members. I don’t hav

I have an agentic workflow and Luna just always gets stuck, SOL and grok 4.6 don’t. I like Luna in theory I just find not much practical work for it yet in coding type work. Now I think Luna is plenty good for many applications inside a ve

FDA is just too slow. Whole I’d like to do more radical reform, at a minimum this stupid long wait should be tossed. If someone hits a target endpoint auto approval pending further review or something Remember in COVID when results. Came in

Some of this has to do with limits from the ACA (Affordable Care Act), which limited the margins of insurance companies. It creates incentives for higher premiums, but also these types of gains, which is just bad for everybody. I don't

Wild numbers. I already thought GLPs were huge but this makes me think it’s even larger.

You are correct. I think this is the bull case. It seems like this would be useful right now for some things (eg moderation).

Maybe! (1) Would SOL level intelligence be useful 3 years from now? 5 years? (2) would dedicated chips be the most affordable way to run this model in 3-5 years? I suspect the answer to both of these questions is yes right now, but I agree

Yeah, the Data Center NIMBY crowd is making these look real good right now.

I think they talked about this being general purpose chip but I would think that Anthropic/OpenAI are at the scale now they could bake LLM weights into chips themselves. For example, GPT Sol baked into a custom chip run for $100M that

I’ve never met someone who didn’t think tipping was too widespread and too high. You say a majority of people are happy with the state of US tipping?

One note on patio11’s opinion on this is that he really overweights the ongoing work and innovation required for electronic payment processing. It WAS a great novelty and deserves to have made a lot of money for 30 years. But the reason the

I am excited for this! A great practical format. I love progressive rendering. At 15% loaded in this example it’s surprisingly good already.

I was more skeptical of openrouter a year ago. Not hard to implement multiple models, but after getting burned multiple times (eg Google in particular) I see openrouter as serving a few key functions: (1) aggregating demand across neoclouds

I really think ebikes, and things like this, would have a much better reputation if they really only supported up to maybe 10 km/h or 6 mph. This is a normalish running/jogging pace. Basically, they helped up hills and when tired

I also had low energy but that was really mostly when I was losing weight, which made sense. As I slowed weight loss and reduced dose, energy improved.

Maybe? But GLM just put itself on the pareto today again, so its up to 10. The theory was that there would be recursive self improvement in models, leading to a 1 or a handful of entities running away from the rest. But basically the opposi
