This is fascinating as a lover of both oil painting and history.

I can't help but think of Iphone updates since about 2018. The thinnest, fastest, longest battery life Iphone ever. It seems mostly the same and I probably won't be able to tell other than the name, but everyone buys it anyway. Th

Anthropic is getting capacity from Colossus 1 not Colossus 2 it sounded like. The initial colossus capex was under $5B, making that an even more astounding payoff. Edit: S1 states both are being leased so the 20-25B initial investment proba

I imagine a huge proportion of their users are under 30. The prompt examples included even use the tell tale all lowercase (though apparently sama types like this too). This is probably less pandering to genz and more speaking their users l

This is very interesting. I don't see much discussion of interpretability in day to the day discourse of AI builders. I wonder if everyone assumes it to either be solved, or to be too out of reach to bother stopping and thinking about.

Along these same lines, I have been trying to become better at knowing when my work could benefit from reversion to the "boring" and general mean and when outsourcing thought or planning would cause a reversion to the mean (downwa

As the founder of another product in this space - this is super impressive and well built. Great demo video and congrats on top of HN! Getting this smooth UX and data behind the scenes is not easy.

> Whether intentional or not I am not claiming it was intentional, but it certainly magnified the media attention. Maybe luck and not 4d chess.

It is also possible that this "world view tuning" may have just been the manifestation of how these models gained public attention. Whether intentional or not, seeing the Tiananmen Square reposts across all social feeds may have d

There are probably many more small battles being fought or emerging. I think voice and PDF parsing are growing battles too.

I think an under appreciated reality is that all of the large AI labs and OpenAI in particular are fighting multiple market battles at once. This is coming across in both the number of products and the packaging. 1, to win consumer growth t

Growing up in Buffalo New York, I only once as a kid saw one flying while on a camping trip in a remote state park. Now, you see one almost every day on the coastline of lake Erie. They are so much bigger than other birds that you will noti

Great demo! Going to try this with a huge folder of call recordings that I would love to search across. Does it work with Google Docs as well as PDF?

Interesting. I think a lot of AI agent internet navigation is still being figured out. Both rules as implied in comments but also tools. There are a lot of nuances OpenAI probably doesn't want to dedicate too many cycles or open up ris

This is very cool and could be the basis for a huge set of interesting operations - but any time I read about DB <> Spreadsheet discussions they seem to be started by folks who much better understand DBs. The principle use of the spre

This is great. Can endorse LuckGrib for IoS folks as well. Great UI and can pull NOAA and EU models. https://luckgrib.com/ . Not FOSS but worth the $20 I paid once several years ago. Popular among wind sports enthusiasts man

Microsoft and Google both have excellent formulas for dates - and are getting there for addresses. Right now - the most useful things you can accomplish in sheets center around what the underlying models are good at - general inference and

There is a huge potential for language models to get close to messy text problems (many of which are in Excel and Sheet). I am the founder of promptloop.com - the author of this tweet has been an early user. The challenge to making somethin

This looks extremely crowded - but reminds me of how apparently hard it was to find or bump into another ship crossing even a confined sea like the Med before sonar. With three dimensions here and more avoidance planning, even this level of

If you take two obvious leaders in manufacturing excellence (for this audience at least), Apple and Tesla, they both now in 2022 seem to be running up against repair and service problems. Part of this might be that they have so optimized th

I think most of Bridge's barrier to entry is perception. Before I learned the basics and started playing with friends and family I had the understanding it was extremely complex, on the order of playing a new instrument. This turned ou

I get that. And we read horizontally. But why do we still align text in vertical blocks like print pages for consumption. Just idle musing here.

I would agree with most of the comments. Almost all companies have some component of their workforce still (always) remote. What it sounds like is you are looking for a more async work experience. It seems like there are teams that have bee
