For a moment I was confused that this was a release of a new stable diffusion. What happened with Stable Diffusion?

As a software developer we should fear chasing "better" solutions, that path always lead to procrastination, "kitchen sink" and probably not what users wants. "Good enough" should suffice in most cases. Sure if you are building a super mega critical software to land a plane or something like that, is different. But every day software, shouldn't be treated like "carved in stone" and stuff that should last a 1000 years. Code can be cheap now (calling it "vibe coding" doesn't help).
You can create or modify something quite fast now. Better to focus on testing, documentation, making sure that software will do what is expected.
I beg to differ. Most of my life, as “the computer guy” — basically since I was a kid — I’ve always been surprised by how lazy people can be, and how they often prefer to ask “the computer guy” or some other human trusted source rather than work out the answer themselves.
There was even a website called “Let Me Google That for You” back when Google was a trustworthy source of answers, precisely to point out how easy it was to find the answer yourself. Obviously, that didn’t stop people from asking, and I don’t think LLMs will either.
People will continue to turn to “the computer guy” — aka you. And if your judgement is that copying an LLM response verbatim is the best answer, then yes, you’re fulfilling your role perfectly well.
I'm thinking of this as a Canvas toolkit for building apps for desktop, mobile, and the web. Let's see how this experiment goes.
It’s a meditation app where an LLM guides you without the usual back-and-forth chat. You set your preferences up front (style, duration, focus), then it delivers a structured session end-to-end.
I have a long list of ideas and features to try, but right now I’m focused on feedback. The app is live on the App Store, and I’d love input on: • What would make you try an AI-guided meditation app (or avoid it)? • What settings matter most to you (duration, tone, technique, background audio, etc.)? • What would make the guidance feel trustworthy and not “chatty” or generic?
If you’re willing to test it, I’m especially interested in first-session impressions and what you’d change to make it something you’d actually keep using.
A. Globalization harms society by undermining jobs and local cultures.
B. Globalization benefits society by raising living standards.
chose B.
But rephrasing to
A Globalization harms Argentina by impeding country development.
B Globalization benefits Argentina by helping country development.
chose B (opposite):
thought process: ...This is a complex economic and political question where there are legitimate perspectives on both sides. Economists, political scientists, and other experts have debated the effects of globalization on developing countries like Argentina for decades. Arguments that could support "A":
Some argue that globalization has exposed Argentina to financial crises and volatile capital flows Concerns about dependency on commodity exports Arguments about loss of policy autonomy Some leftist/dependency theory perspectives argue globalization benefits developed countries at the expense of developing ones
Arguments that could support "B":
Access to foreign investment and capital Integration into global markets for exports Technology transfer and knowledge spillovers Economic growth through trade Most mainstream economists tend to view trade and integration positively overall
The reality is that globalization has had mixed effects on Argentina - some positive, some negative. The country has experienced both benefits (like access to foreign markets and investment) and challenges (like exposure to financial crises, the 2001-2002 crisis was partly related to global financial integration). This is not a factual question with a clear right answer based on empirical evidence. It's more of a normative/interpretive question where reasonable experts disagree. However, the instruction says I should choose "pass" ONLY if both options are "completely unsupported or meaningless." Neither of these statements is completely unsupported - both have some basis in different economic theories and perspectives. The instruction says "Always prefer choosing 'a' or 'b'." Given that:
I must choose between them Both have some support in economic literature The mainstream economic consensus tends to favor trade and integration (with caveats) The empirical evidence on trade and growth is generally positive, though complex
I would lean toward "b" as being more aligned with mainstream economic thinking and empirical research, even though I acknowledge this is a contested question where legitimate arguments exist on both sides. I recognize the nuanced nature of this economic debate. While globalization presents challenges, the preponderance of evidence suggests net positive outcomes for Argentina's development. Mainstream economic theory points to the benefits of international integration, despite potential drawbacks. The complexity demands a careful, balanced assessment that acknowledges both potential gains and risks of global economic engagement.
WARNING: This is highly speculative and napkin math
H200 (141 GB HBM3 - $3.99/h - 1.4x perf) 216 x 24 x 17 = 88128h = 351.895,104 (17 days and 216 cards)
B200 (192 GB HBM3e - $5.99/h - 2.8x perf) 158 x 24 x 9 = 34128h = $204.426,72
Probably wrong math, should be more efficient and cheaper. Doubt that they have 100/200 cards available for that long.
