You straw disagree with a quote fragment?

The demand discovery and data gathering phase is in wall time. Calendar pages, never clock cycles.

Mine too. Capital and connections are open and evolving, but have always been rarer the more valuable they are.

Got it, I’m curious about other biases and prompt context results. First that come to mind are Gemini’s very different responses depending on gender in the question. If it exists, there are others?
cwmoore··on Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?
No kidding? What’s the state of the art for lists of these kinds of prompt biased performance? Or should I ask Opus to game it out with Muse and <Tencent>

I don’t think paying customers are gatekept by entrepreneurs.

so… ok, you still can’t eat art right?
cwmoore··on Job loss and cortisone mania

cwmoore··on How Quickly Can the DoD Rebuild and Recast the Munitions Industrial Base?
If “magazine breadth” does not include submarine drone assembly ships I’d be surprised.
cwmoore··on Timestral: Mistral release time-series foundation models
I appreciate this analysis, but I wonder, setting aside unpredictable current events for the moment, aren’t seasonal and scheduled events also covariates? eg forecasting baseball scores year round?

If basic income were to be the answer, the question would likely require pitchforks.
cwmoore··on I gave Opus 5.5 one prompt and six hours to visualize Invisible Cities
This is so often the essential question, and equally often unanswered
cwmoore··on I gave Opus 5.5 one prompt and six hours to visualize Invisible Cities
While reading the book years ago, I did not visualize Isidora as a city with 9 houses, like a children’s book, or a little video game level intro, but so unlike Kublai Khan or Italo Calvino.
cwmoore··on 3D-printing platform rapidly produces complex electric machines
So long aircraft carriers, hello mobile drone assembly supply chains
cwmoore··on How many GPUs is 1M/B/T tokens?
Thank you. For me the hint was: “How many GPUs is 1M/B/T tokens?“

Those units…

Also “is” is load-bearing

cwmoore··on Nature's capacity to 'bounce back' when species are lost is overestimated: study
Almost all economic activity occurs in fields other than economics.
cwmoore··on When oil prices spike, where does the money go?

cwmoore··on Scientists solve 1840s space weather mystery
Pure charity
cwmoore··on Phyllotaxis: An audio-reactive LED display
I disagree with sibling comments. You are correct to express the confounding implications of a word choice. And they have only detracted from the point you make.

Of course the design is cool and beautiful, but it is not the thing it is called here.

cwmoore··on 37,500 border drawings: a map of the world as people remember it
My county in the US, the level that manages education, is a rectangle.
cwmoore··on People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes
Yes, I am twelve, and so are the people that sold the cigarettes and profit from them.

If we won’t tax the bots for UBI, at least we can still have smoker-subsidized school lunches.

cwmoore··on People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes
I believe you, and think I know why that would be so.
cwmoore··on People hooked on vapes try a new way to quit: cigarettes
Cars, trucks, powerplants, indoor air, are bad for you.
cwmoore··on Deodands put a price on objects that caused death
What is freedom?
cwmoore··on Deodands put a price on objects that caused death
Given the shared source of the legal doctrines, I'd like to see the terms "superstition" and "irrational relic" properly applied to human incarceration as well, although the historical context recedes with every new generation.
cwmoore··on Communication by means of modulated Johnson noise
Now consider the alignments of red blood cells.

usage limit reached, resets at 7:50AM

cwmoore··on Human brain is two separate organs, Stanford Medicine-led research finds
“…but LLMs can’t” is the unspoken sticking point.
cwmoore··on How big are factorials?
I came across an interesting feature of factorials while making the puzzle books at https://www.kakurokokoro.com

No idea what this has to do with the relationship of i and pi.
