Garmin Fenix 8. Love it. It’s for trail running, payments in a pinch. Love the industrial design, far more than Apple Watch Ultra or certainly any Android watch.

I’m a power user given its narrow focus, but no, I don’t expect it to have my airline pass or auto download ABetterRoutePlanner. I’m happy it doesn’t or can’t.

We should copy nothing from the UK on topics of technology, privacy or air conditioning.

This is what losing looks like.

Codex for enterprise is Codex for enterprise.

Parent was expressing gratitude.

Anthropic’s second biggest issue is they increasingly rent when others buy. Even if model value compresses, owning your vertical stack protects your margins upstream, and potentially downstream in applications.

But the biggest issue is this. Many hate Dario because he’s smug, he caps usage, and because OpenAI effectively ran a counter-positioning campaign to paint Anthropic as undemocratic.

Who is he really and what are his motives? None of you know, really.

So, if an open weights model was found to be very dangerous, what - just too bad? One could, of course, design an open safety protocol, written and performed by people in the executive branch, accountable to an elected official.

I love how remarkably inconsistent this community is. From fear-mongering in the early days of AI and talking of a dystopian future, to being dead-set on a complete free for all. (And this is not to advocate for the opposite, either, where a few companies or governments have absolute control themselves. But surely an arms race is not the answer.)

They should switch to announcing when their model is usable. We can scurry in and get some work done real quick!

This is probably great news. Using Fly at different points along the way has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had in terms of their persistent reliability issues and how they go dark on addressing those issues at times.

Whatever culture Kurt built for Fly, it was the wrong one.

It's so weird I was downvoted for asking this question. I'll go somewhere else to find out the answer.

Can someone help me understand something? I thought Fable was such a miraculous leap forward in capability. But now it seems Opus is basically on par with it, and in some cases (computer use) far exceeds it.

Seems easy for Buzz to solve. I’m just happy to have an alternative to Slack.

Nice work!

I’m sure you know.

Do not use Ollama.

K3 is as expensive as Sonnet, not great at writing English, is handing IP back to the Chinese, and once open source will be difficult to run at scale without the compute that OpenAI and Anthropic have largely grabbed.

Sorry, how again is this the end of the frontier labs?

Seems quite odd to use OpenRouter as “proof” that open weights models won. If you’re using OpenRouter, you’re already looking to bypass frontier models. To suggest there’s no longer a tradeoff simply isn’t true. But this isn’t the first time I thought Mozilla was a less than trustworthy source of information.

So long as customers are good for it, AWS is about to crush earnings!

If we were more connected to all the problems that exist in the world, we’d become acutely aware of just how much work there is to do, and we’d eagerly reach for any tool that could help us do more, faster.

It's hard for me to express how much I dislike their marketing website. Sometimes when you have a "cool idea" you should sit with it a moment and then pull back.

Regardless how natural AI becomes I’ve yet to replace any human relationships. Where do you see the aim of technology as trying to replace people? You might be using it wrong.

Fantastic to see this. I use voice a lot. It’s not quite lived up to my expectations but I think this gets much closer.

Keycloak is excellent.

I nearly considered using them recently. So glad I dodged the bullet!

Give me a break. How many times has an IC complained about all the management layers to get something done? You can't have it both ways -- plenty of upward mobility, but no layers to the org.

We can’t buy affordable memory for Fortnite but everyone is running Mythos locally? Is this the year of Linux on the desktop too?

36 people using Claude is not $1.3m per year. I can assure you that you do not know the full details of that agreement, assuming any of those figures are true.

Tackling this at the network layer has limitations. Stripe bought Metronome, which inserts at the application layer. Arguably makes more sense.

You’re right, it’s looking stellar. Well beyond great. Real, and unprecedented, revenue growth will do that for a company.

Have you followed Anthropic at all?
