What if the trend of open models being a few months behind the frontier continues to hold true?

Wouldn't it be nice if anybody could cure their cancer from home, all you have to buy is some time on the mainframe and send off an order to a chemical company

I also feel like state-sponsored inference is inevitable. Just like fiber and 3G, I suspect Asia will get there ahead of the west yet again.

I've accidentally come across some AI music on Spotify, most were pretty meh, but a few were good enough for me to favourite and even follow the artist because they seemed to have a knack for knocking out stuff I liked

I've tried creating AI songs myself with Suno and Minimax, the melody is usually pretty decent but the lyrics tended to be distractingly boring and cringe. I think there is a significant factor of style and taste there that makes is so that given what I imagine are the same tools, that artist is able to create things that I much prefer to my own

Out of curiosity do you think I'm AI? XD

would PostToolUse be a better place to do it than pre-commit? (trigger on `"^(Edit|Write|MultiEdit)$"`)

for lint issues that are autofixable, the tool use can trigger formatting on that file and fix it right away

for type issues (ts, pyright), you can return something like `{\"hookSpecificOutput\":{\"additionalContext\":$escaped},\"continue\":true}"` to let the edit complete but let Claude know that there are errors to fix next turn

I wonder if the start of the causal chain (or at least the intended audience) might be book publishers rather than people in Amazon

I'm predicting that Test-Driven Development may be having a comeback

English behaviour descriptions -> generated tests

Use both behaviour descriptions and feedback from test results to iterate on app development

Telling people to stop being losers is a not winning strategy; might feel good, wouldn't do good.

> You don't let your phones sit on their chargers while at 100% battery, do you?

Yup guilty, I'm a bit neurotic about keeping things charged in case I need it later, didn't realize this affected battery life

TIL, thank you

How's the Pixel 6 holding up?

I've had battery discharge problems with the Pixel 4 and 5 just a few months out of warranty. Hope that's been fixed in more recent generations?
