Coming back to the states after traveling abroad is always astonishing. For all our wealth, it genuinely feels worse than somewhere like Brazil in many of our big cities
First of all, this is incredible. Like genuinely insane. Also I bet you can do crazy things with that tranducer. If stuff like this keeps coming out, we have nowhere near enough compute
is it not similar? taking raw data, some vector of data and constructing a visual image
Well said
Every startup under the sun is hiring decent software engineers. If you cannot find a job right now as a software engineer with experience, that's on you
I don't think these companies are obligated to run a free tier. Someone has to pay the infra. It's a little shady that they didn't announce any of this though. But bitwarden is open source and you can host it all…
The future (if we keep using money to allocate resources) is something akin to feudalism but worse. If you are born at the bottom you will never rise to the top. It's bleak. Even worse, your labor will not be needed,…
I find LLMs so much more exhausting than manual coding. It’s interesting. I think you quickly bump into how much a single human can feasibly keep track of pretty fast with modern LLMs. I assume until LLMs are 100%…
They make a big difference. For example if you use the Jira cli, most LLMs aren’t trained on it. A simple MCP wrapper makes a huge difference in usability unless you’re okay having the LLM poke and prod a bunch of…
I was going to say, how on earth does it take 3 months to build 12 ramps. Seems like there’s a much deeper dysfunction. Ramps should genuinely be able to be stamped out at scale. This is the type of thing China would do…
Sorry, how on earth does it take 3 months to make curb cuts
Yeah that happens to me too. It’s hard to know where it’s going to break off and follow instructions too well vs use it as a tip. Idk it’s all tiring
being TOO steerable is another issue though. Codex is very steerable to a fault, and will gladly "monkey paw" your requests to a fault. Claude Opus will ignore your instructions and do what it thinks is "right" and just…
At this current pace, if "the electorate" doesn't see real benefits to any of this. 2028 is going to be referendum on AI unfortunately. Whether you like it or not, AI right now is mostly - high electricity prices -…
I think for the first time I’ve been considering moving off iOS because of liquid glass. The bugs on apple products have hit a breaking point for me. Mac is still unequivocally the best laptop around imho, but it’s less…
^^ yes
I think immigration currently is fucked up and there needs to be clean, legal avenues for immigrating. I don’t think immigration policy is too soft. It’s much too hard if anything. But immigration policy =/= immigration…
I live in a very very good area of Brooklyn and still regularly run into needles, human shit, and open fentanyl use. LA is similar unless you never leave your little neighborhood. DC was similar when I lived there about…
100%. It’s very hard for me to make a case for urban living, and more apartments, and less cars when the average experience in cities in America is rampant drug use, and tons of unenforced quality of life issues.
It feels like we (and I specifically mean the left) has decided to nearly universally stop enforcing rules on a large basis as an alternative to legislative reform. We’ve basically decided that actually reforming the…
Famously more dangerous? NYC? What on earth are you talking about
i feel like it's really not that bad
Feels like non news. Or at least, a continuation of existing trends. We don't build enough housing, so housing becomes a good investment, eventually pricing out everyone except existing investors or people with large…
DOA
everyone I know uses partiful for events these days
