You should also just pay $100 yourself? I think the bigger issue is just ease. They should deregulate these so they are simple to get

Seems roughly the same story to me. A bit more competition but good growth and healthy multiple of compute.

Just to be clear, I think the current mapping for OpenAI is something like:

xlow = Luna Low

low = Luna xhigh

medium = Terra medium

high = Sol medium

xhigh = Sol xhigh

Max = Astra something?

I actually do have a recommendation, which is to do something like a new mode (i know i know): Auto xlow Auto low Auto med Auto high Auto xhigh Auto max

With an optional flash mode.

Then as you release models, you pick the model and thinking level that you believe is pareto optimal for cost/performance.

So this auto updates each release, like Terra was probably off this list entirely, but maybe this would appear now in Auto medium or something like that.

I know from looking at charts that each model seems to have sweet spots (like I always use this model in this thinking level and if i want to go cheaper i go here). If you picked those for us, it would be interesting. I do think you should keep the model families for those wanting more consistent experiences, but for many devs they may want to just pick auto something and have it update over time. I think nice if it actually just said in parenthesis what it was, something like: Auto Medium (Terra 6.1 High)

I am not sure if everyone would agree here though. I'm obivously advocating for more naming schemes, and i understand the irony.

I actually think just buying the digital copies is pretty great. I have a big library of movies, and I have muse check for digital discounts, so most movies i have gotten were <$10, often <$5. For kids, this includes basically every animated disney/pixar/illumination movie ever. You can get recurring hits like Gilmore Girls or friends on sale sometimes for like $29, the whole series.

I did cancel Disney+, For the cost of 4 movie purchases or a series a month basically.

I thought about Jellyfin, but it was worth the convenience cost to get them easily viewable.

Movies Anywhere helps because i just buy them wherever they are on sale and watch in 1 place.

Have you used loco? Curious any thoughts.

I agree with what this paper generally says...but doesn't it seem like something anyone developing ai systems already do? Learn from past runs to update your skills and system prompt etc? I know I have done this a lot over the last year+.

I think the MAIN thing on specs is to just make sure you have them, and get the models to ask you clarifying questions. You don't really need a skill or process for that, just ask the model to ask you questions on a spec.

I am not so convinced yet that subagents with haiku and sonnet really deliver better results versus opus, nor if the speed really matters that much if you are truly autonomous. I mean he is talking about saving like 20 minutes here. There are 24 hours a day, you are much more likely to be gated by product specs and knowing what you want and good ideas than engineering if you are hammering things now.

I do t think it was a fiasco. I thought the updates were good. They should do more work on benchmarks. There has been good work on testing benchmarks for example to ensure they are accurate, and as issues arise they should change the benchmarks. The point of AA and Arena is trying to understand how to think about models.

Porsche. “Aluminum key”

Tesla roadster. “Drives upside down, flies, does flips, 0-60 in 0.81s”

I agree, returns are where amazon crushes it. I feel like there should be some startup just focusing on making the perfect returns product for small brands. Just do anything including at home pickup and then figure out how to optimize later.

The average rate for job application to interview is roughly 2%...so while there have been some boom times and professions where this is different, I think OP is going to have a rough time giving up this early. I know it sucks...but applying for jobs sucks.

Or just loosen supply side restrictions so much that houses typically don’t go up in value.

Yes. And to clarify we should make the interchange rate being charged above and beyond the list price the default. I dont think merchants will care about rejecting much it’s just consumers with 3% interchange fees will have to pay it and those with 0.1% get it cheaper.
