While I get that unclear communication is frustrating especially if there are sunk costs, the core issue seems to be that they can't afford to subsidize all these tokens for free. The agent model breaks the power-user/casual-user

This is the sort of thing that apple (used to?) take pride in doing well. e.g. new hires in orientation would be asked if there was anything 'special' about their offer letter and it was a thicker more premium kind of paper. Empha

I think apple is a red herring here, it's the amount of legal power granted to the enforcement of money laundering laws and the lack of ability to push back against this Musk/Jobs archetypes, though unpalatable at a personal level

maybe what has happened is that the team needed some experts to measure improvements and tapped ppl with a career in optimizing for "User Engagement" so the more we fight the keyboard the more they cheer and grow the team

Games around who does the grunt work requiring maintenance of a status hierarchy or a constant inflow of interns do affect quality and time to delivery though. The current problems are oversupply of who does the creative work as well as no

The romanization of these names is always confusing b/c stripped of the character and tone it's just gibberish. "Hunyuan" or 混元 in chinese means "Primordial Chaos" or "Original Unity". This helps as m

The cost of this increased healing rate would be the tail risk of compounding injury though. It's not something a doctor could recommend even if it were true for everyone consistently.

chat is the best way to orchestrate and delegate. whether or not this is considered "ME writing MY code" is imo a philosophical debate e.g. executives treat the org as a blackbox LLM and chat w it to get real results

This is really cool! it allows you to see 2D charts in 3D without actually rendering anything in 3D

There are two caveats to this. One is that a lot of it is due to work being outsourced to China (which allows for metrics like 94% carbon free) The other is it has a huge population so it's going to have high absolute numbers of everyt

IMO the fuzziness is actually a feature most of the time b/c I can pass misspelled words or close enough words and it'll still figure it out. Also, if we model the mental state of the llm as a frazzled retail worker dealing with t

there is huge incentive for people who don't know how to code/create/do-stuff to slow things down like this b/c it allows them many years of runway at the company. they are almost always cloaked in virtue signals. almost

In trading there is an idea called the "hurdle" which is a measure of inefficiency that any trade has to be above in order to actually make a profit. E.g. if the bid/ask spread for gold chains or options is 2% then any arbitr

IMO the rate of change or volatility of model changes, RLHF, user-behavior, the definition of 'better' is much higher than the rate of change of model degradation (if any) so it's hopeless to try and measure this

I think the reason it it wears away at your value structure. You have to "sell" your mind (thus polluting your non-work day thinking) to a system that feels "wrong" For lawyers, it's a clear meritocracy based on how

An insight that allowed me to get past mental blockers to bargaining (guilt, awkwardness, etc...) was the thought "I am a person, just like you, not some animal to be milked" This allows the price to be sought in a non-adversarial
