My biggest gripe is that he's comparing probabilistic models (LLMs) by a single sample.
You wouldn't compare different random number generators by taking one sample from each and then concluding that generator 5 generates the highest numbers...
Would be nicer to run the comparison with 10 images (or more) for each LLM and then average.

Great quote and life advice, will definitely steal this! Thanks!
I'm not sure why some call the authors choice of 1$ per install disingenuous. Wouldn't that be the averaged out profit per app when you combine paying and non paying users?
Like for each app which costs 5$ I'd expect that there's at least 5 non-paying users using the free version.
Update: Also, the revenue per app doesn't affect the 0.5$ per app install fee. Meaning, if the app is making less than 0.5$ per install, averaged over free + paying users, then one would just be loosing money...
Debated if to click the link after reading the clickbait headline, but after playing around with it for a few mins seems actually quite decent!
Obviously missing some features compared to Notion, but surprisingly not that many, especially compared to the other Notion alternatives. And style wise seems quite polished.
For something which works across all JS runtimes (Deno, Node) and achieves basically the same, check out the popular JS library Execa[1]. Works like a charm!
Another alternative is the ZX shell[2] JS library. Tho haven't tested it.
How far does a $762 million deal get you? Doesn't seem like such a huge sum for priority access to next gen 2nm machines, but also hard to judge as a layperson...
Btw, regarding a bit older pre-Flakes commits, at least some packages will error out while nix-installing on M1 (or newer) macbooks because at that point nix packages didn't anticipate macbooks ever ditching x86 for aarch... Hope this info helps you out, at least took me some time to realize that the random obscure error was caused by this. Can be almost always fixed by appending "--system darwin-x86_64" to the nix command to use Apple's Rosetta binary translation, cheers.
Thanks for the answer! Looking forward to the followup post :D
And yeah, nix naming conventions are sometimes a mess. Your approach does seem much nicer.
Last question if you have a bit more time. How come that you don't have every version of a package available? Is it because you only parse the Hydra stable 23 builds (which I guess aren't updated on every version) or because you parse them only periodically like Lazamar's Nix Package Versions?
