I learned about Air a year ago and found it to be a great fit for AI. You can write web applications with very little code. This helps smaller models and humans understand what’s going on.

True, again,

These could be on the order of 300k trees, illegally cutting a tree in Germany could cost up to 50k euro, that sums up to 15B Euro. Bad math but it gives a perspective on the magnitude of not caring about the natural environment.

What happened to „don’t be evil“?

A surprise waiting to happen if you Remote SSH into an agent sandbox.

Embedded as in embedded in a company. It’s not referring to embeddings.

Both agents and hunans get rsi, it’s just moving them in opposite directions.

Yes, it feels like Claude is using code comments as a message board.

It’s like De Beers: control supply to control the price.

I think you might be on to something: I am by no means a weather enthusiast or expert, nor do I live in California: the El Niños building up in 1997 and 2015 had similar seasons, 2023 not, the current fast onset and wave seasons (durable good surfable waves in winter) match especially well with 2015. 2023 was the exception but also slower onset. Also La Niña winters also had good winter conditions, but not as durable. So good surf conditions in NorCal outside of La Niña winters might be a visceral leading indicator for fast onset El Niño.

I stumbled across this too but going back to the picture made the sentence easy to understand. Maybe the sentence would have worked better if it was located before the picture. (The picture shows a ramp going up to the right deep under the ocean surface - the subsurface warm core)

In 2004 we (a small team of mostly very junior devs) were given a quite extensive and really excellent Java course.

Ahead of the course, we prepared by obsessing over our IntelliJ or Eclipse configs and had intense discussions about this.

To our surprise, the teacher urged us to use nothing but the basic JDK tools and Notepad. He wanted us to learn what's going on under the hood and also told us, that the productivity will probably be about the same.

Amazing, can’t wait to see the first unboxing / let’s play / review videos.

I built a computer around the Z80 from a kit of a TV Series („Klein Microcomputer Sebstgebaut und Programmiert“) when I was 12, with a Märklin trafo as power source and a Telefunken tape recorder as datasette. Typed moon lander into it in Z80 machine code and was so afraid to lose the program that I didn‘t turn it off for 2 weeks.

The German page of the news article shows the old and new prices. The CPX and CCX lines are up 120%

A challenge they forgot to mention is EU‘s very own new Product Lianility Directive.

Although the Directive exempts free and open-source software (OSS) from strict product liability, it does so only if the software is developed or provided outside the course of a commercial activity.

As soon as a company integrates OSS into its own commercial product or uses it for economic purposes, the company becomes liable for any potential defects in the open-source component.

Looks Like fun for freelancers and companies who get Clients thanks to their Open Source projects, for example.

This Spec Driven Development Short course on DeepLearning by Paul Everitt is a nice 2-Hour walkthrough: https://www.deeplearning.ai/courses/spec-driven-development-...

Enterprise accounts pay per token.

A failure mode I see more, recently is that it gives superficially correct answers but after digging deeper, I get answers that contradict the superficial answers - really an important thing to be aware of, in my point of view, and it often leaves me wondering if I dug deep enough.

Interesting that nobody mentioned SAR in this thread, yet.

SAR benefits from space compute by reducing the strain on downlinks (pre-process, detect in space). A large-ish (think 6k sat) constellation of much bigger sats (2-2,5 ton) than current Starlink sats can run inference on board, distribute load to nearby sats, and enable full round-the-clock surveillance of the whole world.

The nominal compute capacity is in ballpark range of a modern AI data center, but it's only about 20% used on average due to duty cycles. An indestructible, global eye.

The big Starship launch vehicle is perfect platform to bring them into orbit, can maybe bring 40 at a time into orbit, so 150 launches for 6k. Maybe even fewer sats are needed, depends mostly on electrical efficiency of the components.

For a start, invert - ask about the exact opposite in a separate session.

I have run the piece through an impromptu stylistic device detector. It found 15 different, each used multiple times and likened the writing style as a mix of Ezra Klein, Hannah Arendt, Zeynep Tufekci, George Orwell (“especially in the contrastive clarity”).

A) I certainly don’t see enough of the tells.

B) what happens to our language if everything is written as if it’s competing for a Pulitzer’s Price?

… and “That’s not x. That’s y.” Certain LLMs wield powerful stylistic devices all the time to a point where they become irrelevant and cringe.

I see it as a good sign that we can learn to recognize the pattern and adapt but there are probably more subtle things we don’t see.

Wow. The “That’s not x. That’s y. / You’re not x. you’re y.” rhetoric is already cringe in other contexts. This brings it on a whole new level.

You need Mac hardware for this but I run a MacOS VM on Parallels, not connected to my iCloud account. I think it’s nice for OpenClaw and CI.

I would be curious to see a calculation backwards from TAM. Napkin: 50M developers worldwide (SlashData, 20M in China and India). If every developer had a $200/month subscription, that‘s $10B / Month. I think, many developers are expected to pay much more than that.

I am and I see it as stopping the music at a party when you want everyone to go home without telling them to go home. There is also the offer to quit with prorated refund for the remaining time. I think I am going to take it.
