Insanity

Yes, lol

I do not believe this story, because of the message I just posted above. That's not really productive lol, I'm glad it worked for you but these models are non-deterministic and 'YMMV&#x…

Recently I tied OCR with Opus 4.8. (I know, not technically right tool for the job). All I needed to do was extract dates from receipts. It got about 20% of the dates wrong yet rated all as “high conf…

True, but it's effectively a 'new' market segment when it was introduced and thus demand was less predictable.

That’s a new product line. Should have clarified but I meant mostly their existing product lines and specifically iPhone

This assumes that the people in charge for public policy understand the technology beyond the marketing. Which I don’t think is this case based on the track record of policymakers when it comes to es…

I understood this as a “the next generation will cost more”. By now I am sure apple can fairly accurately predict device sales for each season and so they likely have a decent backlog for the current …

Ohh, I thought it was in their earlier videos. I did not see they released one today lol, my bad!

LTT was only speculating, they did not know the actual price as far as I remember. (They had a video doing some educated guesses, or maybe a WAN show, can’t exactly recall). No doubt the price was low…

Hope the Frame is available for pre-order soon as well! I know I’m going to pay more than the HW was worth a year ago because of “AI”, but I’m really looking forward to that one.

It’s definitely a sarcastic comment lol.

Agreed on “finding meta” as just being part of any game. But thinking games are more restrictive than chess might just be a lack of exposure to competitive gaming.

Yeah, I think the rules for motorcycles are also less stringent in Canada than in EU. And road conditions often not great. Of course the 6 months of winter in Toronto also make it less appealing to dr…

I briefly entertained flying planes as a hobby. I live next to a small-ish local airfield and a coworker of mine got his license there. Then I learned more about it, and there's way to many accid…

Yeah this is a case of “not the right tool for the job”. It is awesome though.

I doubt many of the newer generation ever even tried. Maybe they had a course at uni where they did some C or Assembly, but that's probably the extend of it. So no, I don't think so lol.

I honestly don't think that matters for multiple reasons: 1. There are already multiple "sota" models on the market that compete with only marginal gains between them (OpenAI, Anthropic…

Yup, and they have the Apple partnership for now as well. Much better position generally than OpenAI in my opinion.

If I had to make a guess, money played a role lol.

Don't think it matters in the long run to be honest. The models have no moat, they are becoming a commodity. Besides that, Google is in a pretty good position, they're not bleeding money on …

If you count Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, almost any fiction book with a philosophical angle would fit that description. Or even books like “The Phoenix(/Unicorn) Project”.

Thanks for sharing! Fortunately have not ran into this yet but obviously YMMV.

I'm going to advocate for Zen here. https://zen-browser.app/ I've been using it for the past year or so and love using it so far. There's some bugs here and there but n…

Heard good things about pi.dev but haven’t tried it. It might take care of some of those missing features you mentioned.

The article doesn’t really make the point as clear as the snappy headline suggests. Regardless of that, Belgium should IMO follow some of the other EU countries and invest in OSS solutions that they h…

Watching? I just finished reading “I, Claudius” and “Cladius the God” this month. Didn’t know there was a series / movie, would you recommend it? (I highly recommend the books FWIW, although I pr…

He has smart people working for him whom he can rely on.

Ah, well that makes sense. Will be interesting to see what adoption looks like for a model that’s billed at a more realistic price-point towards profitability.

Too expensive, yet probably still too cheap to make up for their cost of developing and running it. Don’t expect prices to go down. Or if they superficially go down, the models just consume more token…

To nitpick, the “M” in XM is “mark”, no?
