I really hope pro subscriptions don't include ads going forward...

I live in an area of the US where the only alternatives are 3.5 megabit DSL which stops working when it rains or Hughesnet, so basically no real competition at all.

"Quietly" seem to be the most popular headline word this year.

Judge not, lest ye be denied CRISPR.

But is that not also "following a path laid out by someone else?"

Not really. I'd use the analogy of breathing. Imagine you're convinced that you need to breathe properly, so you consciously obsess over each breath (congratulations: you are now breathing manually). Then someone comes along and says "you know, you can just breathe without thinking about doing it right."

Is letting go of that manual breathing and just breathing without thinking about it following a path laid out by someone else?

It sounds to me like their "trick" is simply not acting from the psychological position that you need to do something you're not doing in order to realize your authentic or best self. Wu wei?

Reminds me of the book "Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning" and its comparison of spaced repetition and cramming.

Cramming often feels more satisfying, more like you're learning, but actually leads to worse retention. Spaced repetition that includes the struggle of recalling something just at the edge of being forgotten, on the other hand, feels worse but leads to much higher retention.

Alas, this does not resolve the issue for me.

Even with the latest version of LM Studio and the latest runtimes I find that tool use fails 100% of the time with the following error: Error rendering prompt with jinja template: "Cannot apply filter "upper" to type: UndefinedValue".

EDIT: The issue is addressed in LM Studio 0.4.9 (build 1), which auto-update wasn't picking up for me for some reason.

My favorite is when I ask Siri to set a timer and get back "there are no timers running."

For me it's all about the branching Neon provides. Being able to instantly and automatically have a branch of my production data for every dev branch is incredibly useful.

Oh hey, looks like it's mostly Kenton Varda, who you may recognize from his LAN party house: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42156977

But it still forces you to download a local model before you can use that feature.

Neat. It would be nice to provide an option to use an API endpoint without downloading an additional local model. I have several models downloaded via ollama and would prefer to use them without additional space being taken up by the default model.

If there's one thing our capitalist society has taught me it's that people are always willing to endure a crappier product. I'm not sure we've found the bottom yet...

I just set mine to auto-hide. Right now it's showing just shy of 30 icons, and I feel it really benefits from the additional horizontal width.

Are they using birdnet or something else?

What "AI" means has always been shifting; right now when most people hear it they assume it means generative AI and deep learning, but it's really a very broad category.

Early incarnations/uses of the term include what is now sometimes referred to as Good Old Fashioned AI (GOFAI), with such things as expert systems and ontological classification systems; these still technically fall under the umbrella of "AI". After GOFAI came other forms of technology, including the precursors to our current deep learning models, including much simpler and smaller neural networks. Again, these are still "AI", even if that's not what the public thinks when they hear the term.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOFAI and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_artificial_intelligen...

Definitely doesn't feel native or accessible on web. Can't tab between radio buttons. On macOS CMD+A doesn't select all text field text (CTRL+A does).

I'd mostly been using ChatGPT until recently. Now I've mostly been using Gemini 1.0 Ultra.

1) Glorified doc search

2) Mechanical operations (e.g. translate this SQL query into a knex query)

3) Code review, verification of modern idiomatic approaches in languages I use infrequently

Can't get past the location setup. I click "use device location", authorize it in the browser, click save, and nothing happens.

Sunk cost fallacy is real.

ITT: company that sells product for breaking PR into smaller PRs claims smaller PRs are better.

Not saying the claim is necessarily wrong, but it's also exactly what I'd expect given the source.

I'm sad that AppCode is being abandoned instead of updated for the new SwiftUI world.

The ticking clock being an actual clock is a nice touch.

100-200, you say? Sounds familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number

Kid Pix memories unlocked!

I'm a fan of the Buddhist approach of "right speech": Is it timely, true, gentle, beneficial, and spoken with a mind of good-will? If so, say it.
