Have always joked with colleagues about how hard it is to find content in Google Docs, the office suite built by a search company.

Yeah the difference in token usage across difference models they found in the article was broader than I expected, but I was sort of floored by the variance in token usage for the same prompt (run mul…

As someone who's done web development for 20+ years, I find the model personalities pretty dang fascinating, especially how they develop (and evolve) design sensibilities. I'm interested to …

You can’t do inter-city Waymo trips. These are different animals.

Agreed, but I think people can imagine and companies are very motivated: powertools, phones, laptops, watches, backup UPS, cars, hospital equipment... there's high demand for durable, long-lastin…

Have we ever as a species successfully changed our behavior on a scale needed to address something like climate change and underwater oxygen loss? What would be the closest “we’ve got to change or per…

Nope, HTMX could power endless scroll features if you want them

One way to think about it is that more powerful models mean solid best practices are more important than ever, so humans moving too quickly / carelessly bites us more than ever. If a typical SaaS…

"We believe in a world where we can have safety and privacy." - Flock camera feeds were set up public-facing, giving anyone on the internet access to live high-resolution feeds - Flock…

Yeah I think the podcasts were just a clever hack until AI is fast enough to support realtime. It’s practically there now, so a fake podcast is a funny relic and hard to sit through.

I can’t believe how bad Claude’s voice mode is. So much latency and it often tells me “this is rather technical” and would be better talking it out over text. OpenAI has much less latency, can adapt t…

I did too! That HAD to be by design.

This is awesome! I made a Soroban (Japanese abacus) version, but I couldn't add it to the collection since I used css-based animations. Published here: https://soroban-clock.netlify.ap…

I'm very pro tech. Because I'm pro tech, I honestly wish there were more ethical companies in the space. It can be hard to find US tech companies to cheer for. My main business-related chall…

But it's not about whether it was AI or human authored. That misses the point. We're all fatigued on the writing style . The same cadence and patterns; the same phrases and terms like "…

I thought I read somewhere that according to filings for going public, subscription revenue is tiny… like 5%. Edit: consumer Claude subs are the 5%. I’d bet most all of CC subs lump in under enterpr…

Processing markdown into html is a significant task for many blogs, sites, and apps. Satteri moves that processing into rust for speed gains. Now used in Astro 7: https://astro.build/b…

“Carlyn Beccia is an award-winning author and illustrator of 13 books.”

Also: load-bearing!

Thanks for your work on this!

I value both great devs and great marketers because I’ve seen dev teams build awesome tech that never found its audience. It’s the culture of the org and that decides how the ammo is used. What you wa…

Does anyone use an agnostic TUI or harness for development tasks that can fairly seamlessly switch between providers? I'm wanting local context in the spirit of "here are 3 AI providers avai…

I predict we all be using the hell out of fable until the next great model comes around and in two weeks we won’t be talking about the export controls anymore. We just don’t have the attention span. N…

I think the AI companies are so motivated (desperate) it just puts all the existing rules and contracts at risk. The Apple supply chain has always had aggressive contracts and commitments... for norma…

Well, I think from the technology side, the performance and capacity you can get in a personal computer (especially a laptop) is absolutely incredible. It's just component suppl and that supply i…

counterpoint: I have an EV that I never drive more than 77 miles a day and I paid over $70k for it. Top speed would definitely be a limiting factor, but I do think there's a huge gap in the mobil…

I’m actually amazed at the output since GLM doesn’t have eyes. If GLM 5.2 costs 1/5 as much, seems like it could be set up to reach out to a multimodal model for vision tasks when required. Close…
