Which he talks about in the article of course.

This was written at a really easy level. It was not at all hard to understand. Disagreeing with something and not understand it are very different but often the latter is feigned to make the writing seem written by an inferior. It's ki

Or maybe he thought it was more effective to talk specifically about something he had actual experience rather than saying "it shows up everywhere" with no way to actually support the claim?

I don't usually dig these little tirade blog posts but I genuinely laughed, related, and enjoyed this one. I particularly liked this quote: >You can watch sensible people argue for an hour over a button because, somewhere deep insid

You can say anything, why stop at claiming 200 prompts, why not say you think Astra/Fable can one shot Davinci Resolve! And you can EASILY make the BM cinema cameras and other hardware by prompting Fable to run a 3D printer. (≧▽≦)

I worked a little on the Virgo interferometer, I would say about 99.9% of the work on those types of detectors is limiting and subtracting noise. ( ≧ᗜ≦)

My biggest gripe is now anytime I open a new session it hangs and I see the beachball spinner (mac) for a while before I can actually use the app again. It's pretty brutal.

I know very little about this case. My guess is Tiktok, twitter/X, and some other platforms could also be subject to this type of court ruling. Is there any thought of this opening up the floodgates for this type of thing or is more li

Nah, it's just the current lingo in the AI world. Another one they will use is "brain." As far as I can tell "brain" and "OS" are interchangeable. :(

In my setup my laptop is close enough that I can reach out and use the fingerprint reader on it. It is stupid but I got used to it pretty quickly.

I was going to say something similar. In particular, I do a lot of prototyping, AI has allowed me to make prototypes an order of magnitude faster with substantially higher quality. Different types of software engineering have very different

According to this article about 1/3rd as many movies are made in LA since the 90s. They were only making 30% of films in LA in the 90s so your experience still matches with the data but having 2/3rds of the local film production m

I was a big distributed, event-driven service guy for years. We used to talk about how it can make things 'faster' but you have to put some infrastructure around it in order to be able to move like that. I'm basically talking

It's interesting to me, I have never once felt this. I have basically just been excited by using AI for coding. I've been a software engineer for 15 years and before that a physics PH.D. student (and 1 year professional scientist)

I hit a wall with creating a browser based video editor. Up until then, over the last year, I have been taking my hands off the wheel more and more and really have just become more and more productive. This video editor experience has force

Feels like some serious hyperbole. I definitely have people at work copy and paste Claude output but I have never once had someone ask me to read it for them and tell them it was correct. I think this is just the moment we are in, the amoun

I cannot speak to film->digital->film but for audio recording if you did a similar thing like tape->digital->tape you would impart some real stuff to the recording versus just digital all the way through.

I'm a videography hobbyist, there is so much discussion about aspect ratios, particularly around anamorphic lenses. In those circles, wider aspect ratio is almost always considered better (there's more to anamorphics than just asp

I am not denying what you are saying but I am interested in what models you were using for these tasks?

What do you consume in your post-podcast era?

You dislike that people write for audiences other than yourself.

What did you learn from the Medium situation?

I get that we all want people to be on open platforms but I feel like the really staunch part of the open platforms only crowd is not taking the time to understand why people like platforms like substack.

You are strawmanning what he said. What he said is much better summarized as if a substance has other beneficial effects and there is one that is potentially just placebo, then it is ok. That is completely different than your paraphrase.

Isn't this literally made for AI agents to be accessed through an MCP server? Seems to me the AI agents part of the marketing is important.

I never read Sword of Shannara but my brother did. It is a nostalgic title for me. :)

I did this in the last couple years, I used an 'atomic habits' kinda approach. I put a book on the back of the toilet and pledged to read 1 page before looking at my phone. It worked out nicely, I've read a bunch of books ove
