Not really? It's an interesting proxy for public opinion that requires zero investment from the news org. They don't have to pay a polling agency or wait for someone else to.
Of course that suffers some likely substantial bias from oversampling a specific domain/sub-population
You are 100% free to not gamble
That's a pretty disingenuous take on the purpose of TS and misses the point of having a stack in general. The tools actually cover a lot more than that.
Yes, if your goal is to get HTML/CSS/JS in any form to a web client then you don't need this stuff.
If your goal is to ship a web app that stands a chance of surviving multiple devs, production traffic, etc then you need more tools. Testing behavior (vitest), enforcing code standards (oxfmt and oxlint), optimizing network calls (e.g. tree shaking from Rollup), etc. all go beyond what you describe.
This stack is as boring as it gets without literally using the tools it consolidates and replaces or dropping a requirement that necessitates them.
The frontier labs are not "fine-tuning", they're doing massive scale RL post-training
Your basic analysis is not the point of the article
Your quoted text does not back up your claim. It says brands live in the mind of the customer (i.e. the prospect). It doesn't say anything about a brand representing a real human being.
Using AI for your own project is different than being overwhelmed by AI contributions from other people/bots
What are you trying to say here? This makes no sense.
That view is overly simplistic. People find real utility in ad-supported tools and apps.
Who says you have to learn this? You are free to ignore it if it's overwhelming.
I'd much rather see a thriving ecosystem full of competition and innovation than a more stagnant alternative.
It's hard to imagine that abundant housing led to the truly adverse economic conditions in the USSR. Rather than offering a cheeky strawman perhaps you could give some real thought to alternative solutions you'd like to see?
How do you know GP isn't a woman?
More broadly, can a comment on a forum thread that isn't directed at anyone in particular really be considered "mansplaining"? I consider that term to mean something like "a man explaining something to a woman because he assumes she doesn't know".
Just because the topic is about women doesn't mean a man can't post a thought that is relevant and (mildly) thought provoking.
What do you do if you're out of town for a vacation, work trip, family event, etc? I could see making a daily habit work for running since your feet work anywhere but if you physically don't have access to a rowing machine do you find some alternative?
If you have the time I recommend working on distance first. Running farther is great for fat loss & cardio training and speed only really matters if you're trying to be competitive in races or have to squeeze your run into a confined time slot.
I also find that adding distance makes it easier to improve time. If I can only run 1 mile, it's pretty hard to run that same mile but faster. BUT if I can run 3 miles, it's a bit easier to run 1/3 of my normal distance but focusing on pushing the pace.
How do you know? Have you seen the code GP generated?
If your software business relies on people coming to your site to read docs then you were cooked from the start. It's about enabling your users whether they're on your site, ChatGPT, or anywhere else.
Perhaps they learned something from that? Look at modern MBP models which have MagSafe, HDMI, and SD card slots.
things are now harder to read, identify, and understand
What makes you think that? Do you have a specific example from the keynote in mind?
There must be something since you've never actually used this design system yourself. Or is this just your pre-judgement?
Do you really think that Apple, of all companies, did a cross-platform UI refresh based entirely on vibes without considering user taste, usability, accessibility, etc?
You've already judged the system as only good for "looking good on screenshots and marketing materials" when you haven't even seen anything other than the announcement.
A major distinction here is that it is very cheap to host content on the internet and VERY EXPENSIVE to build things like a separate road network in the real world.
Who is actually hurt if I publish an llms.txt or MCP in addition to my existing content?
Lucky for you that if you remove the "ai" subdomain here then you get a traditional "human-first" website.
Really though, how is this all that different from making candidates type their resume into a form then filtering in their ATS? Seems like a nice ergonomic approach if they're actually set up to use MCPs in candidate sourcing (probably won't be the case for at least another year).
Fair enough! You're right it's a bit blunt. I didn't take very much time to edit it. Hopefully folks are able to look past any gruffness and find the substance in it.
Total strawman argument.
The size of the country has almost no bearing on the way we develop our towns and cities, subsidize car production, assume/require car ownership in public policy, etc.
It's also quite the stretch to claim the UK as the best country in the EU and even more to claim that it doesn't also have a car culture. And it's not just "America's worst state", the vast majority of US town and cities are car dependent.
Can't we just have a set of best practices around API endpoints/functions? Like, imo we could just keep using Rest APIs and have a convention that an agent exposes endpoints like /capabilities, /task_status ...
To make this work at scale we all need to agree on the specific routes names, payloads, behaviors, etc. At that point we have defined a protocol (built on top of HTTP, itself a lower level protocol).
Really? The hyperbole does not help anyone here.
I don't sign a term sheet when I order at McDonalds but you can be damn sure they count how many big macs I order. Does that make them morally bankrupt? Or is it just a normal business operation that is actually totally reasonable?
You're making a huge jump from "gathering anonymous counters to understand how many people use the thing" to "harvest all the data you want and monetize it".
If they were tracking my identity across sites and actually selling it to the highest bidder that's one thing that we'll definitely agree on. This is so so far from that.
You're welcome to build and use your own MCP browser automation if you're so hostile to the developer that built something cool and free for you to use.
"detailed" is an anonymized deviceId and a counter of tool calls? Heaven forbid an app want to get some basic insights into how people use it.
What is there to standardize?
At a high level, the request format and endpoints. Instead of needing to write a bespoke connector for every type of context that matches their preferred API standards, I just tell my client that the server exists and the standard takes care of the rest.
Do you have similar doubts about something like gRPC?
This looks like micro services crossed with AI.
Seems like a cynical take with no substance to me. What about a standard request protocol implies anything about separation of concerns, scaling, etc?
ChatGPT is available for free - you can find out for yourself!
It won't generate music for you (yet). Depending on your phrasing and how outlandish the request is, it might give you suggestions of actual bands to go check out or it may just describe the characteristics of what that would sound like.
When I asked "Led Zeppelin style music with djembe beats", it gave me a high level description of the guitar/drums/vocal sound + some Led Zeppelin songs that may adapt well to the fusion.
What are you talking about? A "yaml formatted string" is just a string. And the Costco shareholder meeting notes/ballots that the GP posted is not YAML either, it's a pdf.
