whats wild is there are people who look very fat - who have lots of subcutaneous fat, who don't have visceral fat. The excessive subcutaneous fat can be hard on your joints but doesn't seem to correlate to other health issues.

i think its more efficient for models to write queries than read large(ish) documents. at some point you have to have a tradeoff - smaller docs, but the model has to find them (thats a query) or larger docs, and the model has to read them.

My take is AI native apps that have longevity will prioritize token-efficiency - and I believe queries do that.

I assume it was too expensive, because it's really not a bad tool. I used it recently to make my twitter pfp :)

Theres tons of ai apps. They're all general use chatbots or coding agents. Manus, Cursor, ChatGPT. Almost every app that has a robust search uses a reranker llm. AI is everywhere.

As far as totally new products - I built one (Habit.am - wordless journaling for mental health) and new products require new habits, people trying new things, its not that easy to change people's behavior. It would be much easier for me to sell my little app if it was a literal plain old journal.

Even if it runs, this will run slowly, and heat up.

I think local will always have a place, but the infrastructure is going to be used in my humble opinion.
