Ah interesting. That makes sense. I had no idea.

Once my college professor was working on her research paper and told me she was struggling get text to stay underlined. Assuming a simple user error, I expected to help her out in 5 minutes. Over thre…

tldr: most companies on the planet are "doomed to be perfectly ok businesses".

Tesla interiors are minimalistic, which I like. They are also low quality, which is really disappointing.

I think only when the plane is grounded.

I don't think this course is for machine learning grad students, I think Microsoft is trying to create materials for someone interested in using ML/AI as part of developing an application or…

I sure see a lot of power for power’s sake inside of companies. OpenAI’s stated mission is AGI that can replace half the population in “economically valuable” work. I get that with some creativity you…

But at current valuations? With existing licenses already in place? It's not like their commercial value (or value to Microsoft) drops to zero if they stick to the original mission don't lic…

Here's my challenge: if this is correct, we then have to assume that 95% of the company is purely profit-motivated since they aligned behind Sam. I'm cynical, but I struggle to be that cynic…

I can't find these quotes (especially the post-AGI world quote) on their site.

As the article mentions the program might have been a little smoke & mirrors for the stock price, it reminded me the roadster they drove out from inside the semi during the launch took preorders a…

Just a counterpoint: my dumb car has been undrivable way more often than my electric car. They never deployed bad software updates but they sure have designed & deployed bad fuel pumps. In some wa…

It sounds like it was tested on their own fleet but they accidentally pushed the wrong bits when deploying the update more widely out to customers.

Hate how they announce this product by shitting on the hard work of docs teams. I get that docs are uneven in quality but there’s also been what I think is a renewed focus on quality & interactive…

This is one of the many reasons open source is now more important that ever. Ironically, in the AI space it's now under attack more than ever.

Wow, I had no idea the internals of a rice cooker were that complex. Do all models have that many parts or just the high end ones?

If your price tolerance is $5k and you are as interested in cars as you are in hammers, you're not the customer they are chasing right now. In the US folks are spending $48,000(!) on average on a…

The EV market is in a strange spot. Tesla knows how to make an amazing battery electric powertrain & software experience but struggles to make the rest of the car. (I rented a low-end ICE Mazda an…

They are simple powertrains fueled by complex and heavy battery chemistry. I think affordable for everyone will happen with the next generation of solid state batteries.

Very good perspective from the creator's vantage point. From the consumer vantage point, I do worry. Even Apple's "curated" App Store is already flooded with quickly made knockoffs…

You can now spec a 14‑inch MacBook Pro up to $6,899.00. You’ll be so pissed when you leave that bad boy at Starbucks.

That’s true. Even when AI learns to not put torso-less legs, the wonder will be gone. Prior to AI, you’d stare at an image like this and I believe most of the magic was marveling at the cleverness &am…

Not meant as a criticism, just an observation: The novelty of these shapes hidden in images is already gone for me. It's amazing to think how fast the hype cycles around a clever concept will acc…

Well no, but is it ever that overt? Its still bad: It’s a ridiculously one-sided arbitration clause that most customers don’t fully understand & “agreement” is using the app. Maybe it’s worse beca…

It’s not a switch campaign but Google just begged me to login before showing me my search results. Both of you, stop. It’s a desperate look. I live in constant fear that the Arc team (my beloved brows…

Yes. Definitely been bit here with ORMs and custom query languages.

Isn't it possible that both the frontend and backend are maturing & more capable? Isn't that what we want? I've built some feature-rich FE apps that read and write to dbs & obje…

After playing with both, I’m currently more impressed by the output of Visual Copilot by Builder.io. [1] It builds UI from Figma as the starting point, but the UI can then be iterated with prompting o…

I don’t love all the OSS discords, but I’m not at all here yet: “I would argue that moreso than any other piece of infrastructure used by people, Discord has the highest potential to harm the world, a…
