Hopefully a major focus on tools, the models are "good enough" at coding, but tool usage lags behind substantially.

I'm disappointed with both parties in regards to Solar, especially considering the sheer importance for the future.

The problem I had with the Biden subsidies (as far as I'm aware) was that it didn't really foster hyper competition in the solar manufacturing industry.

Furthermore, the best solution here is to create giant solar farms in the American SouthWest, then funnel energy across the country, is it not? Energy loss is minor, even along thousands of KM in distance.

My dream here is Trump comes out with some new subsidies, focusing on manufacturing, which would drive the price down substantially and hopefully negate the need for consumer subsidies.

We need the new tech-right guys in his admin to speak up on this!

Isn't it sad we're not able to invest into most new tech companies these days, with private equity taking the lead. I don't blame the companies after seeing what going public entails, but still unfortunate.

A good start. One of the biggest issues with LLMs is the "intelligence" has far surpassed the tooling. A better combination of prompts, RAG, graphs, etc exists for education and learning, but no one's come up with the proper format / tooling for it, even if the models are smart enough.

I'm disappointed by the GOP for not attacking this point, considering the censorship conservatives faced from the processors.

How is an app that allows users to post unverified and doxxing information about random men allowed on the IOS app store?

Apple had no issue mass censoring Parlor and others, how is an app like this able to reach #1 under all?

A killer app would be a up-to-date database of documentation from X amount of sources. For example, fully up to date Shopify API Documentation which could be included within cursor at the click of a button.

I believe right now you're requiring us to do the scraping/adding?

I've got years of professional SEO experience, and it's clear SEO is dead for information, especially once you use o3 type Ai models daily.

To be frank, good riddance. Information sites were being manipulated on such levels it was ridiculous.

Anyways, I expect e-commerce CTR to get SO MUCH better, so overall it'll just be a shift away from SEO over to PPC, or maybe a little bit of both.

Conservative ideology views government research as inefficient compared to private sector research, something I generally agree with. The evidence for this in regards to space is very clear IMO. SpaceX, with 8,000 employees and a fraction of government space budgets, now controls 95%+ of all orbit launches worldwide. They outcompete entire continents.

There is no risk structure within government research, and NASA's results of the past few decades shows this. No one paid the price for the SLS being so overpriced, delayed, etc.

What percent of the population currently uses Ai? 5%?

This is a technology that will reach 90% usage for almost everything people do, so there is still so much more growth to go.

Remove the Chinese Tariffs on them, then just import massive amounts.

My hope for America is once Optimus robots are up and running, have 1-2 legions worth work 24/7 setting up a huge farm in Arizona, then creating an energy transition line to the east coast.

It sounds crazy, but given the rate of advancements in robots and the fact that solar panels are already mass manufactured, why isn’t this feasible in 2 years?

Imagine if America didn't have any tarrifs or constrains on Chinese advanced goods like EV cars and Solar Panels.

So are datasets/currently available data the limitation here?

Let's say a major healthcare leak occurred, involving millions of images and associated doctor notes, diagnostics, etc... would this help advance the field or is it some algorithmic issue?

Really cool idea! Some improvements I'd recommend with the ultimate goal being "getting users to learn the subject at hand".

1) Section Lectures on the left side need to be cleaned up, instead of just a numbered list. Seeing 30+ lectures off rip is a bit daunting, especially with no labeling, sectioning, etc. I'd imagine feeding a model a list of all the lecture titles, then having it structured should work?

2) You're doing too much on the bottom section.

You need to incorporate all those tabs into the single Ai tutor, which can run whatever tools required (maybe notes/discussion can be a small additional indication). No one's going to be using the Flashcards section, and it's calling probably the same LLM as the AI tutor, so might as well combine them.

For the quiz, maybe when the video ends or the user wants to continue, the Ai Tutor goes into "quiz mode" forcing the user to attempt or pass the quiz (depending on the settings?).

Think of this like Cursor but for Education. Cursors powerful agent can handle/do so much, you're not using 3-4 different fields.

Oh and have it on the right side instead of transcript, so it's right there in users faces instead of having to scroll down.

I have a friend that uses them, but I took a separate route and just decided to learn programming basics, at least enough to be able to vibe code.

I'm thinking why not just use APIs?

If you haven't watched Tim Sweeney's appearance on Lex Fridman (which went live two days ago ironically), he discusses this battle against Apple, which he's maintained at a furious pace for years. He goes into detail on how the previous guidelines stifle innovation, how app developers are basically forced to implement anti-consumer practices to maintain the ridiculous costs of achieving success on the app store, etc.

His Crusade for open platforms/services in general is very very respectable.

Fortnite, in my opinion, has been a gold standard for F2P monetization. No gambling, no randomized loot boxes, etc. Compare that with Counter Strike 2, and I can't imagine how much money Epic has left on the table by choosing this path. So I give Tim a lot of credit for maintaining such a principled stance.

The timing of this with Tim Sweeney's interview with Lex Friedman is great. Watching a few hours of it, it's no wonder he hasn't slowed down in the slightest in this fight against Apple, he is unrelenting in his focus.

Yes, the natural order (that was mass censored for 10+ years) got uncensored. Look at who won the presidency.

A very subtle mention of o3-pro, which I'd imagine is now the most capable programming model. Excited to see when I get access to that.

Good thing I stopped working a few hours ago

EDIT: Altman tweeted o3-pro is coming out in a few weeks, looks like that guy misspoke :(

/lit/ is a goldmine, I’ve discovered so many amazing books there. Everywhere else on the web is algorithm or voting skewed so no real opinions can be shared

Because it allows the government to pick and choose winners. The big 3 were all losers and should have gone bankrupt back in 08, and now look, they're still highly inefficient and still heavily reliant on govt handouts 20 years later. They don't innovate, they can't compete globally, etc.

The real problem is that our auto companies (besides Tesla) are reliant and subsidized by the Government, making them highly inefficient, and unable to compete within a global market without giant subsidies.

Your ideology is demonizing and burning the company most effectively fighting climate change.

Tom, please fix the flag abuse problem. It's gotten to the point where I realize there's no point in commenting on many threads, given my opinions, some of which are very normal nationally.

o1-pro still holds up to every other release, including Grok 3 think and Claude 3.7 think (haven't tried Max out though), and that's over 3 months ago, practically an eternity in Ai time.

Ironic since I was getting ready to cancel my Pro subscription, but 4.5 is too nice for non-coding/math tasks.

God I can't wait for o3 pro.

I've always wondered, why doesn't ISIS or other terror groups just use this type of distribution for their videos?

Ridiculous, you can't force user behavior like that. Have the restaurants and what not entice you to stay.

This is the outcome of Elon's vision for cheap space flight. Without reliable and reusable rockets, small missions like this would never be possible.

In 3-5 years, once Starship is running continuously, expect a flurry of these types of unique "small" missions.

The future of spaceflight is so exciting.

I've found 4.5 to be quite good at "business decisions", much better than other models. It does have some magic to it, similar to Grok 3, but maybe a bit smarter?
