I wonder how a book of type-in AI prompts would do…

He took the easy way out and fucked over his kid in the process.

Complaining 24/7.

A regular hero.


So did Robin Williams and countless others.

Practically everyone complains 24/7 about something or other, in a roundabout way you are doing it now..

Overall I fail to see your point.


What a privilege to not know depression.

You assume too much

You might assume you have known depression, but you would not speak such cruelties had you truly experienced the depths of sadness that a human being is capable of feeling.

The idea that suffering will somehow make you noble is quite awful. Depression isn't some kind of cleansing fire that opens you to empathy. It affects good people and assholes and people in every phase of life.

It doesn't have to make you noble, but there's a certain level of suffering experienced where you stop making comments such as that toward someone who's committed suicide.

I hope you never have to understand the difficulty and complexity of the so called "easy way out".

you could explain yourself instead of making assumptions about me, but you don’t.

read Spinoza

He attributes everything to God. I don’t think it’s relevant.

To say nothing of the the ads..

They smell blood in the water and just bought their next gen studios for $1B

“Finally, Super Mario 32”

You need to benchmark a new EC2 instance anyway. If it’s out of spec, burn it down and redeploy.

Why is that needed, and how would you know if it’s out of spec?

How: You've ran the test on a bunch of hosts and create a spec from ranges.

Why: you might be concerned with network connectivity (you don't get to choose which data center you launch in and it might not be exactly equal), noisy neighbors on shared hosts, etc. if you're measuring for networking, you probably are spinning ups separate accounts/using a bank of accounts and something in every az until you find what you're looking for.


Why: you’re paying for a service level that has no guarantee from the vendor

No way this made it out of internal vetting without a recharchable battery.

Man, if I even suggested this over lunch with my old Sparkfun colleagues, I would have been shot down before I finished chewing my bite of open-faced turkey sandwich.


Instead of casually dismissing the idea, perhaps they considered it and found recharging had its own engineering costs, namely the potential for a swelling battery on your finger, a long life which means you probably would lose a custom charger, and the increased size for the extra requirements.

How many with X?

They’re your pixels for your project, not some conformation challenge.


I'm seeing a lot of investment in these things that have a short shelf life.

Agents/assistants but nothing more.


We're building tools that we find useful, and we hope others find it too. See notes on our view of LLMs and their flaws:

Why do you think the shelf life is short?


The implementation technologies are shifting. Model access, training, fine-tuning, MCP, they change week-by-week along with the root need.
