This LLM hype is out of control, they literally bullshit on any novel input (admittedly there's not a lot of this) and are wrong 15-20% of the time for all inputs This isn't a "we'll just add more context", "

Hate to see this but Chinese phones have been better than US phones for almost half a decade now. They may have started with stolen IP, but they're actually just ahead now - thinner, faster, lighter, better. This applies to hardware, b

I had to block all network traffic from VSCode that shit is spyware out of the box. Maybe the vi crew is actually onto something.

Here in the US, I do 0 medical procedures and only would go to the ER if I broke a bone or something. Thailand, India, Singapore all cheaper + better care. Incentives are 100% misaligned and even good actors are forced to shorten your lifes

These are businesses where the knowledge gap is so wide between the service provider and the client mixed with the life or death need of "I need to flush" or "I need heat in the winter" that people routinely get fleeced.

These asshats also have the world's worst OTP page that does not auto submit when you type out the 6 numbers and still doesn't submit on pressing Enter. Everytime I have to move my mouse to the Submit button, I think about how the

I do LSD once a year with close friends and a beautiful view and it's fantastic at making me appreciate beauty in the world and feel like everything is in it's natural place. Shrooms sadly do not agree with my digestive system.

I just spent an hour and a half getting my friend's email account untied from my local Windows account after she typed it into Windows Store once. Involved having to remove all kinds of system files and many registry keys, some that di

Despite all the money they've recently spent trying to rehab the founder's image, Meta's core DNA is built around invasion of privacy, dark silent opt-in patterns, abuse of user data etc. I judge anyone who made their money t

I logged into Twitter after years and it was clear the ad algo was trying to determine my sexual preference - it would start by throwing in a hot girl, if I ignored then the image became a hot girl in bikini, then a hot girl's butt etc

Funny that they will call syntactically correct word vectors trained on reddit comments "AGI". There is no "self learning", just chaining outputs trained on different .txt instruction sets. There has never been a better

Yeah but they gave me a full ride and I like the idea of giving some poor kid from a random country who wants to build shit and get rich a shot

Yeah given NotebookLM and Gemini are basically on par in every way, they would be wise to just expand their search deal with the Goog and not let a new entrant come and eat their food

YC appears to be spending all it's time marketing itself on Twitter and pretty much all the partners, including the lead have companies that were acquihired i.e. failures Class size of 7 = quality, class size of 300 or whatever = noise

Great so I've been giving to Stanford all for nothing? How is this even legal private schools should be able to admit whomever they want and teach whatever they want. If you don't like it, don't apply. Legacy is a huge incent

I have a hotmail account from the 90s and they've made it impossible to use not-Outlook clients to authenticate with IMAP servers - calling it a "bug" that's being "worked on" (for over a year now apparently) B

You are absolutely correct about where we are but don't underestimate what 100s of billions of $ can build as well. There are already credible teams working on "math AI" and "truth AI" which will likely end up combi

Altman is basically a younger Elon. He failed to build his own company Loopt, already has disturbing allegations against him from a family member who I absolutely believe, and lied under oath. I expect grand promises, nothing delivered, and

I have noticed them go after the entities Tether uses as intermediaries like Silvergate, then Binance, then Tron, then $TON etc so they're fighting the good fight. My guess is when Coinbase gets "hacked" there will be enough

A much more robust and free market approach to this would be a great review system and an actually open app store - this vetting process you describe is not at all "better" it incentivizes platforms to 1) kill competition (or any

Why the f do any companies get to decide what code I can or cannot run on my device? I didn't rent the device from anyone, I bought it. Does anyone really think giving 20-30% of ecosystem revenue to some gatekeeper makes better ecosyst
