Does that mean you can assign the result of the function without explicitly unwrapping? Or that the compiler removes the call to unwrap? Or neither?

Claude Design can help. Fable is pretty good at UI when you narrow down to a specific page or—better—something like a modal, table, etc. If someone is a user, they'll have specific complaints. Claude Design is more than capable, which

Newspapers are not $1/month. And Google's ad revenue is likely more than that. Or, if it's not for every user, the ones who would opt out of ads are the ones who can pay. You're cannibalizing your highest value users.

I wonder how soon until we see a language designed for LLMs. I wouldn't be surprised if Anthropic or OpenAI were working on something like that. No idea what it would look like, but it's pretty likely that "optimized for huma

That's not how ad performance is measured. Your ROI is based on end conversions. You need to know if your leads are _good_, not just plentiful. A company that doesn't do this at the start will figure it out pretty quickly.

Not really like any of these things. Having a tutor for literally anything is a pretty incredible experience. Yes, they can’t be fully trusted and Claudisms are tilting, but, I mean, have you been on the internet? I read far crazier bullshi

This is not my experience at all. Obviously I have some different usage from a teen (I doubt they’re doing much interior decorating), but it’s really an incredible resource for learning. I’ve used it to break down different Supreme Court ju

This is pretty sad. It’s like banning kids from the web. They’re creative so I’m sure they’ll find ways around this, but having access to LLMs to explore the world is a magical experience. It’s so much different to have a conversation about

When they launched Devin it was supposedly at the performance of an engineering intern. Friends who used it found the bad parts of an intern (tons of handholding, review required) but it didn’t learn from mistakes or add throughput. They se

One of the incredible powers of childlike imagination is the ability to differentiate between hitting a piñata and hitting an actual animal.

There is simply too much money in it for almost every person at these companies to stop. Leaving OAI or A\ would cost people millions, tens of millions, or more. And for what? So someone else can take your seat and do the same thing anyway?

People talk. If you have a breakthrough solving one of the most famous problems outstanding, you're going to tell people. You'll say, "Don't tell anyone", which they will ignore because they get a rush and perceived

Yeah, this was pretty shitty by OpenAI. Not surprising, sadly. Them being assholes, trying to exclude an author just because he worked at Anthropic, shows the kind of culture within (that part of) their organization. The focus wasn't o

The walled garden is basically their entire moat. If you have access to that, you can do things like, "Every hour, write all updates in chronological order to a file $HERE", then you have an API feed. You integrate that into your

The problem is that most of the annoying parts of daily life are pretty personal and don't have clear APIs. Like, I need to coördinate with my building manager, a contractor and that contractor's insurance agency about their polic

TIL openai owns chat.com I hung out with my parents this weekend and heard them talking about "chat", as a noun. I assumed they were talking about ChatGPT; there being a literal chat.com makes sense why they'd call it that.

I wouldn’t feel embarrassed by association in a Chevy, but I definitely don’t trust American manufacturers to be high value (quality/price) and reliable. They always seem ten years behind with uninspiring designs and horrible MPG.

I remember at one of the Black Lives Matter protests seeing someone with a sign like “Tax Cuts for Paid Protesters!” Let me know if you ever meet someone whose source of wealth was “HackerNews AI Astroturfer”.

> Keys, npm directories and huge binaries are fixed by deleting them later on. The horror. Keys that are deleted are not gone from the git history. They’re still in the repo. Same with giant blobs and binaries.

Yeah I think this is a much better path. If you mix chicken with jackfruit 50/50 in tacos, for example, it’s barely noticeable. We’re not going to convince Americans to give up meat, but if we can reduce consumption when they do eat it

Yes, but there is zero shot at doing this versus energy and transportation. The major limiter of veganism is cultural. People love eating meat. It’s a major source of protein and calories, especially in developing countries. Americans are n

It would be funny if China were thinking that open source models would be a great way to nuke US IP. I’m sure it’s not high on their list of priorities—in the same way that I heard you can use Yandex, the Russian search engine, to find pira
