Cool

…but never buy v1 hardware folks! Especially for limited runs like high end laptops.

Apple quality comes from scale. A narrow product line means they have literally hundreds or thousands times more testing than PC ultra books. (And still — don’t buy a first iteration of a new Apple chassis.)

I think the answer is no, as this is a creative repurposing of css3d as a basis for a general 3d engine. That lets you put web content everywhere, even on the triangles of your teapot. Cool, but extravagant

Whereas THREE.js or webgl is purpose-built for realtime animated 3d scenes.

They can be distilled internally… expect great things from Sonnet 4.8

In a master’s, you learn a lot about a little

In a PhD, you learn everything about nothing

Billions in profit may unblock scaling customer support beyond scrappy startup minimums

However (and I loathe this logic) if you can get the marketplace to accept that minimal level, and the brand harm is inconsequential, why not pocket the savings

For those who find this appealing: Fires still burn down houses so what’s the point of fire departments?

Skill issue—in management.

Good leaders perceive workhorse vs showhorse spectrum, critical toil vs needless flash (and vice versa).

It’s hard. Most fail at hard things. The industry in the aggregate will fail at hard things

So you get articles like this.

Open source meth is still bad in absolute terms even if it’s better than the alternative meth

They’re not going to build their own, it’ll just be one of the many capabilities of the agent platform they use. A 2024 SaaS is just a playbook for next-gen AI.

You don’t buy a spelling correction program because it got built into Word. And now, the OS…

Indeed perhaps the most valuable lesson from travel is returning with the realization of just how poorly the generalizations and statistics describe the messy reality of a place. Everywhere has every sort of person

When faced with the choice of making genmedia more expressive vs looking higher production-value, big labs always choose the latter.

Expressivity requires intent, which turns out to be rarer and therefore less apt to show up in a benchmark or crowdsourced head-to-head comparison.

The recent Acquired ep on “Alphabet Inc” put it aptly: social media moved into Google’s space, video (reels, “pivot to video”), and social media for socialising moved to message groups, iMessage/Whatsapp/Discord.

Revenue-wise, video ads have always been the sun to print ads peanut m&m.

Look where the pucks going then:

Implication: ChatGPT as a realtime video avatar will hit the jackpot with ads, but not before. Count on the ChatGPT device having a screen for that reason

What? AI assistants are prohibited from providing legal and/or medical advice. They're not lawyers (nor doctors).

In certain niches, the marginal value of kneecapping the competition exceeds the viable budget for counteracting gaming. It may be a quirk of this reality’s hyperparameters that a UGC media monopoly inevitably suffers from this. Or maybe at a certain point it hits their bottom line and better enforcement is contrived.

Can't you trivially reframe the initial purchase as being subsidized by that license? Your $200 smart knife sharpener would be $300 if it weren't recording audio 24/7 (for VAD, surely!)

I don't like it either but here we are

When was the last time you did a deep research? Good agents just do research as necessary. I find GPT5 Pro >> all the top DR agents
