To the defense of the models, the experiment was run with temperature set at 0.01 which is very low; setting this can lead to weird responses. My find-on-page also found no mention of “thinking” or “reasoning” in the paper. Not trying to discount the whole thing but very curious how changing the parameters might affect results

It’s uncomfortable to agree because I think companies should decide what they do and don’t allow in the ecosystems they own. But once an ecosystem becomes so pervasive & necessary, I think control must be turned over to the people.

I love free+local. Can you add SVG->PNG with transparency? I never need help with any of the conversions you support today, but going from vector to raster would be super convenient!

Thanks for sharing! I tried using it for Thai language coming from English and found that the app understands me well! But I couldn’t understand it at all. It replied to my turns with very long messages (20+ syllables) in pure Thai and spoke with an unnatural rhythm which made it hard to pick out words or phrases. The foreign alphabet made it really difficult too. I tried changing some settings in the bottom left menu and it started speaking English to me too, but I found it unbearably slow. At one point it asked me if I wanted it to speak in pure Thai or a mix and then ignored my answer. Ultimately as a beginner I don’t think Issen will work for me very well as-is. Happy to check back in the future!

Finally, pictures of the inside! That’s what I really wanted to see when I heard about this last year

I've thought a few times when reading some funding announcement on techcrunch, "That was my idea!" which is super validating and nice to see. Some of these multiple-inventions are pretty inspiring to learn about. I think it reinforces concretely the idea that "execution" matters more than anything else.

Nice game. But if this is just for fun please take out those horrible ads

Summary of original post written in ChatGPT style with no original substance… my guess is yes!

I searched for series b startups hiring for data analyst roles in the Bay Area for a friend. It returned lots of bigger companies that I didn’t want included. I also had no luck trying to figure out how to copy paste or share the results (using iPhone). Overall though I think this is a great idea and wish you the best!

I tried to vibe code a web app with windsurf and found it appeared to do really well in the beginning. But I had to harsh the vibes in two types of scenarios it couldn’t understand or solve on its own: performance and css animation.

When I copy paste via ChatGPT I direct the model on what to do and retain responsibility and understanding of all code getting saved.

I do really like Cascade in windsurf because it does a decent job of parsing the entire codebase and finding the spot to make changes. But I think I’ll probably be most successful combining my approaches and using Cascade at a coding level not a “vibe” level

I haven’t been able to get any AI model to find Waldo in the first page of the Great Waldo Search. O3 even gaslit me through many turns trying to convince me it found the magic scroll.

30 minutes of play per 3 days is such a brutal reality to acknowledge. One of the most wonderful experiences in all of life so drastically limited by the society we’ve constructed.

I have this strange hypocritical mental model which simultaneously dismisses improvements to Edge as irrelevant while also wishing and rooting for more browser competition elsewhere.

My iOS Stocks app says S&P 500 is up 146.23% over the last 5 years. But isn’t that much too short an interval to evaluate in the first place in consideration for retirement?

Depending on the culture of the company, the product management function will come with a range of expectations from the powers that be — figure those out asap. Figure out the big personalities, the values of the company, and obviously start talking to their customers on week 1 and every week (day?) thereafter.

As a senior PM, you probably need to pay a lot more attention to your executive stakeholders than a junior PM who might focus instead on lower level cross functional needs, developer focus, design, etc. I would also suggest that after you’re comfortable with your onboarding that you embrace high visibility and even fight for it if anyone discourages you or devalues your communication efforts. Good luck!
