Vint and I have been corresponding on and off for years over email and text. He's incredible. A friend had his startup business about to fail because the domain was stolen by Chinese hackers; they had been to court, but the judgments were going to take forever to enforce after the courts sided in their favor. So, I asked Vint what we could do. He said he was sitting with the head of ICANN and would inform him. He is truly one of the greatest minds and most genuine people of our time. Thank you for every interaction, Vint. I hope you enjoy retirement.

Cognition... oh what a ride... We were customers when they acquired Windsurf, stopped offering customer support, raised prices, dismantled the brand, and raised prices again. We are not customers anymore. Benchmarks are not the only thing to worry about when you are using models.

Scientific research is suffering from a reproducibility crisis. Not a publication crisis. LLM's aren't going to solve reproducibility issues.

If only we could buy 1TB of unified memory in a Mac for $1k-$2k in total hardware costs. Apple would basically be able to extinguish the entirety of the market cap for Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, and others all at once.

In 10 years, I hope my MacBook Pro can run today's frontier models and has 1TB of unified Memory.

I doubt my opinion will be well-received by all, but I hope that creators like the author of the Bobiverse will be able to, affordably and within their own capabilities, create new forms of content, such as AI-generated long-form content, like entire TV seasons, as the technology matures. That series is fantastic.

UV adoption is happening, though. NPM is still the only name in town.

Congratulations, you are part of the world's most advanced paid beta. So advanced that you ended up testing the fraud system unwittingly.

I still remember running Red Hat Linux when it was free and open source, before Red Hat Enterprise Linux, before Fedora, before CentOS, before RockyOS...

It's tough to build a business around a product that takes a lot of capital to build, and you offer for free to your competitors...

IMO, AI is still not there, but getting better quickly, and I'm excited about how it is going to unlock so much creative talent held back by an expensive system that requires a lot of labor to create content. I know someone who has been trying to raise money for a while to create a movie he wrote a script for. He's registered it with SAG-AFTRA. He's put on dinners. He's worked tirelessly to pull it together. He is an unknown quantity with a couple of roles in movies but no track record of making movies. I keep watching the progress, counting down the days until I can feed his script into a tool and show him a version of his vision come to life. I don't doubt he'd still rather do it with human talent the old school way, but, like tens of millions of other people on earth who have a creative vision and aren't named Bezos, Musk, or Gates, he may never succeed in raising, and I think some version of those visions becoming a reality is better than none. It's also like watching people who understand the problems in an industry work on tech tools by vibe coding solutions.

Being good at serving the interests of wealthy people as a paid liar has proven to be a demonstrably good skill set for a career in politics.

Looks like an AI-generated site that says it's not for investment purposes but basically makes the case for investment... I'd run from this.

I appreciate the interest, but it's not public yet.

If that 500-person call center is a BPO, they'd have trouble with today's data-heavy workloads. I do agree, though. I'm in an extreme minority when it comes to this much bandwidth in my home.

People are realizing lots of government data sources are free and building vibe coding apps around them...
