I love working in Zed. It really is a delight to use, and I think the Agentic coding integration is really well done. I'm excited to see them investing in this space more. I understand people's concerns about VC funding, but I thi

I think it is a very common misconception (by consumers or businesses trying to use LLMs) that fine tuning can be used to inject new knowledge. I'm not sure many of the fine-tuning platforms do much to disavow people of this notion.

Nah, we're pretty happy with the new trajectory. :)

We're (fixie.ai) working on on our SLM (speech language model). We'll release something soon to play with :)

Thanks for trying it out! That's good feedback on the voice. It's actually a voice clone of a real voice actor, but I agree there are moments where it still feels not quiittee there.

Yeah it's a great question. We're still exploring how far we can take this. I think we'll be able to get pretty basic examples working in 3.5 (like the Recipe example), but more complicated, flexible UIs will need GPT-4 for n

Yeah, great feedback. We'll have a bunch more examples that vary in complexity coming out in the next couple of weeks.

Short answer: yes! We think this is actually a super compelling use case, and there are a few different ways to accomplish it. We already support auth mechanisms like Oauth, and there is also agent storage built in.

You can use both Langchain and GPT Index with Fixie Agents. We're fans of what they've built, and they can be great tools.

As a quick correction, the current Web Payments API (PaymentRequest) that is making its way through the W3C process is at https://w3c.github.io/browser-payment-api/ . It's not the one from web-payments.org. What Ap

What was interesting to me, though, was this bit: "Applying the same law which holds taxi companies responsible for the injuries caused by their drivers, whether or not they have a passenger at the time of collision, Christopher Dolan,

Another great translation of these is by two brothers, David and C. Scott Hicks. It's called The Emperor's Handbook[1], and is an attempt to translate them in a way that is less literal and more "in the spirit" of what Aurelius was trying t

I really like this, but one big complaint is that the auto-scroll after completing a little task isn't correct. So each time after I "pass" a particular section, I have to manually scroll down with my trackpad.

There are many goals to meditation. Sometimes it starts with focusing on your breath. Sometimes it's in the form of chanting. Depends on the school of thought, the individual, the goal (if you have one). It's not valid to say "No!" as thoug

This was done in InDesign. You could do it in Word, but it's going to be more difficult. If you're on a Mac I would recommend Pages. I'm not as familiar with Windows, so couldn't really suggest any software there.

I usually try to make mine look a little more "modern." I usually follow a few simple rules: 1.) Two or three colors color scheme 2.) Simple vertical alignment 3.) 2 fonts: 1 for headings and one for body text 4.) One or two simple graphics

I live in China, so I did a quick test with my coworkers. 4 people. Two phone calls each. Each conversation we dropped the word 'protest' in both English and Chinese. No magical dropped calls for us.

I think so. I've done a lot of travelling abroad, and as an American who only speaks English, I was always a little bit ashamed that I could only manage one language. The shame was particularly great in poorer areas of Western Africa and In

'Jobs' link also 404s. My other thought is that it's very monochromatic. To such an extent that nothing quite draws your eye. In fact, I think the first thing I looked at was the 'Add to Gmail' button because it provided some contrast. Why

People aren't in uproar simply over 'airport security screenings.' They are in uproar over certain practices that they believe greatly infringe upon their rights. The majority of individuals, myself included, feel that we shouldn't have to

Do you speak Chinese? I'm an American working in China, and I can point you to a number of sites that offer hosting here, though the sites are almost exclusively in Chinese. Feel free to shoot me an email: zachkoch@gmail.com.
