Track recording in comaps is super finicky, at least for me. I’ve lost multiple recordings while checking the map mid hike.

I can’t say what the exact cause is. Should probably work that out. But I’ve taken to recording using it and all trails at the at the same time with plans to bring the missing data over to comaps at some point.

Does Fastmail really get push? I have a vague recollection that the reason I’m using their app over native ios Mail is because ios Mail was notifying me about emails with a noticeable delay.

If you’re reviewing every change then what does “vibe coding” even mean?

Appcleaner does this. One of first installs on a fresh macos.

Is s3 a generic term for cloud storage in France?

I wasn't so much saying that there should be plenty of documentation generated during a meeting as saying that there should be plenty of documentation prior to the meeting. That the meeting is based on.

Even if the final nod of agreement happens in real time the actual decision making process for critical product features should involve planning, thinking, research, etc. There should be a strong paper trail such that everyone knows what the decision is going to be prior to the "everyone gets together and declares this is how things are going to be" step.

If them missing some meetings means they're in the dark as to how those features were decided on then I can't see that as a defence of attending every meeting so much as a statement of BS meetings being so predominant in the company that all decisions are made through a BS process.

Their already existing chat app is what “ai” means to my normie friends.

If I ask the question myself then there's no step where a human expert has vetted the content and put their name on it. That curation and vouching is of value.

Now your mind might have immediately went "pffff as if they're doing that" and I agree but only to the extent that it largely wasn't happening prior to AI anyway. The vast majority of internet content was already low quality and rushed out by low paid writers who lacked expertise in what they were writing about. AI doesn't change that.

Are streaming services really measuring value in terms of minutes watched? I would have thought they’d have better methods of tracking which shows generate subscriptions and retention.

Implementation is what takes that raw R&D and uses it to solve problems real problems, which is where it derives it value. Armies of people slightly modifying slightly different saas is how those foundational ML models end up in the everymans workflow.

Humans are social animals.

Your tribe were the people you worked with at Loom. When you left your tribe became only your girlfriend. What are you going to do? Have perfect harmony with 100% of your tribe forever? Of course not. Of course you fought. Because on top of lover she now fulfils all sorts of roles including rival, competitor, and nemesis.

You need to pick a group, any group, and stick with it.

Jumping around both physically and vocationally is not only not going to help you, it's going to make integrating yourself in to a group way harder.

Why have you not covered the elements that make it look very thoughtful/intentional?

Parking all your money in the bank is investing in currency. Depending on the currency it’s probably a lot safer than most stocks but there’s still an argument for diversification of aiming for as safe as possible.

Any company could do that. If it would make sense for them to do that would depend on the market they were entering though. At the time OpenAI came about companies weren't sharing (selling) AI to the world. Doing so was a point of differentiation. There's Google over there hoarding all of their AI for themselves. Here's us over here providing APIs and free chat interfaces to the general public.

So sure the name means nothing now in a market shaped by OpenAI, where everyone offers APIs and has chat interfaces. It doesn't mean it meant nothing when they picked it or that they abandoned the meaning. The landscape just changed.

Lucky you! It's some of the best content on the internet. My favourite blog for sure. Same guy has continued on with his writing at https://www.astralcodexten.com which is also pretty good but doesn't reach the same highs.

What's wrong with it in context though is that as great as it is, it's just some guys blog. It's disconcerting that people would be working on technology they think is more dangerous than nuclear weapons and basing their approach to safety on a random blog post.

Although it's disconcerting to think of a committee deciding how it's approached, or the general public, or AI loving researchers, so it might just be a disconcerting topic.

If OpenAI or just Ilya think Scott is the best man to have thinking about it though, I would have at least liked them to pay him to do it full time. Blogging isn't even Scott's full time job, and the majority of his stuff isn't even about AI.

If you give me a couple test questions I'd be happy to plug them in and tell you exactly what they cost.

No but it's real cheap. Simple questions are a cent or two. I'm paying a couple bucks a month.

The only option for AST expanding isn't just competing for Starlink's customers. There's also growing the market as a whole. Satellite internet is still a tiny market so there's a lot of potential there.

It's entirely possible for there to be more money in providing launch services to AST even if it kills off Starlink, IF it grows the market enough.

Does it need to be a self hosted web based tool or do you just need PDF software? If the latter I find PDF Expert to be powerful and nice to use.
