a very slow one.

IMHO the smart people saw the "Ghibli scandal" and thought "omg this is the feature of IP".

You don't like the last Star Wars trilogy? Pay us a few hundred dollars and you can rewrite your own story, thank you very much this is where you put the credit card number.

It was INEVITABLE.

Some people are really going to hate this.

The technical design is definitely the job of the technical team for the most part, but the business requirements should be squarely on the pm. The list of use cases, how the API feels, the performance etc... All of that the business owner should be able to describe to you to ensure it does the job it needs and is fit for the market.

Sounds like you work with inexperienced PMs that are not doing their job, did you try having a serious conversation about this pattern with them? I'm pretty sure some communication would go a long way towards getting you on a better collaboration groove.

equating more intelligent to "wanting things" is a fallacy. You can have a hyper intelligent computer that simply waits for you to ask it to do a job, or you can endow it with the digital equivalent of hunger and reproductive instincts and it will behave completely differently.

We would be INSANE to pursue giving that type of instincts to AIs.

That would be the biggest mistake anyone could do. I hope nobody goes down this route. AI "wanting" things are an enormous risk to alignment.

I have been a lot less lucky

I don't know about that. I had plenty of stuff break randomly when updating Ubuntu so I can see the appeal.

correction to the title: the plane crashed because the owner is a moron, not because he bought a 3d printed part but because he failed to ensure his provider is trustworthy and instead used a fly-by-night nobody to fit a machine that can kill him at any moment.

Absurd what people will do to save a buck.

Emotion simulator 0.1-alpha

if you think about it for more than 5 seconds you'll see a lot of applications, it's not that hard cmon.

I'm dying to know what you're giving to it that's choking on. It's actually really impressive if that's the case.

I'm sorry but therapy does NOTHING for ADHD. I wish it did, it would be very useful to me, but it's just not the case.

Behavioral therapy is only needed to make people feel better about taking amphetamines. It takes only a very cursory review of published reputable papers to realize there's nothing behavioral therapy can do to improve ADHD because as Russell Barkley says ADHD is a disability of doing, not knowing what to do.

Not exactly what beautiful looks like on a Mac.

Generating footage wouldn't help with the opposite but navigating a simulation would which is a pretty standard type of evaluation for multimodal AIs designed to act in the real world.

same in Italy, it was common when I was younger my grandma made fritters with nettles, ground ham, breadcrumbs and eggs and we would eat them cold as a snack in the summer

The python community was in profound denial for a very long time.

Gemini is notoriously bad at tool calling and it's also widely speculated that 3.0 will put an emphasis on fixing that.

This is dumb. Llms are a tool, a very useful one. Bad PRs should be rejected always no matter the source, but banning a tool because some people can't use it is not what engineering is about.

what are the advantages vs something like https://caddyserver.com?

no, that factory makes a ton of cars. had teething problems like every other car factory in the world. source: my significant other worked at tesla for a decade, now at Rivian.

There's a great Kurz gesagt video about it. Whales get the least cancer!

you work for the wrong people

speaking to a child at their level is the best way to keep them from speaking well. I never did it with my son and it didn't hold him back one bit. Everyone remarks his incredible vocabulary and language skills for his age. IMHO holding back with kids is an anti-pattern.

In an immersion context I can get to conversational fluency in about 3 months and to complete mastery in a year. I've done it twice, once for Spanish and once for English. A few things in my approach helped me move quite a lot faster than my peers:

1. I would carry a mini-dictionary with me EVERYWHERE. Anytime there's a new word, I would ask a local to teach me how to pronounce it and then make sentences with it while I was walking around. CONSTANTLY.

2. accent and good basics help more than a vast vocabulary: when I went to spain for the first time I would hear in the metro the famous male and female voices saying "proxima parada... something something" and I would repeat that sentence trying to imitate the pronunciation and rythm to get used to "sounding spanish". That helped a lot.

3. date a local: in spain I was dating this girl that was a journalist and from a pretty conservative family. She was very afraid that I would put off her family by being a foreigner and not being able to pronounce things correctly or making grammatical mistakes so she would correct me on the spot EVERY TIME I said something wrong. I dind't mind it and it worked like a charm. Years later I met my American wife that wasn't nearly as concerned about my pronunciation in English so my accent is not nearly as good as in Spanish, but I definitely learned the language, went from being barely understandable to business meeting in about 4 months.

3. Watch tons of movies with the original subtitles (for example spanish movie with spanish subtitles) to understand how people pronounce certain words. DO NOT limit yourself to learner materials, you won't learn a thing. Find something you enjoy and just dive in, you'll learn a lot quicker that way.

Dedication and systematic work is all you need to move pretty quickly, the human brain is wired for language, if you feed it what it needs it will do the work for you.

new models are always magical, let's see how it feels after the cost cutting measures get implemented in 2-3 months.

your pricing is nuts. let me know if revenue are good, I'll copy you.

does this approach actually work? is it more reliable than plain mcp calls?
