I just spent 10m trying to use this.

It is the most awful product experience I’ve had this year. How could they fuck it up this badly?

I actually think Amazon is very well placed:

- Single point of billing and vendor is still king in enterprise - look at how much of Ant's revenue flows through AWS Marketplace

- With OSS, models may move to a more of an AWS-shaped problem: host with 5 9s, provide the infra and shovels, do it as cheap as possible, fit them neatly into rest of AWS stack. I think this is actually a huge risk to OpenAI and Anthropic, as more commodization gives hyperscalers more advantage

- Still owns a huge chunk of Anthropic and leverage over compute

With this in mind, I'm not sure why they need a frontier model vs. the playbook they did with Linux (i.e. Kimi-K3-AWS-Enterprise-Edition). They are kind of playing both sides right now I guess, but could really stir things up if they wanted to.

I had to build a diffing engine for PowerPoint files in my first start-up. I initially tried to do this at the OOXML level, and one the weirdest things I found about the format is that the GUIDs are mutated by PowerPoint even if there have been no changes. The serialized OOXML is not really canonical and constantly changes as clients open and save it.

The simplest solution ended up being rendering images of the slides (not easy) and doing it with a slider.

That's a great idea with the e-reader.

I would love for someone to design a great case with a built in e-reader on the back. Most of the existing ones seem geared for displaying colour photos; I'd like one built for reading, powered by NFC. It should easily sync up with the phone itself to send over articles, books, etc. Bonus if I can write on it.

I was wondering the same for vega-lite, which is relatively high level, declarative, and looks similar to their syntax.

The shift may come when your blessed cloud platform provides competitive enterprise-ready hosting of the oss models

Looks cool but your home page heavily lags on my mbp m3 pro - you should maybe be lazy loading vs loading all your components upfront

I agree with mostly everything you’re saying; but it’s not uncommon to be processed via your local consulate, even if you are already living in the US.

This is usually just for the final issuing of the GC, and where USCIS approval has already happened (for instance, on an EB1A).

People frequently do this so they don’t have the travel restriction. Source: I just did it.

Good fun! Spacebar should launch, r should reset, maybe I'm imagining it, but it's a lot slower and thus easier on my phone than my MBP.

Oracle hire some extremely good people and pay very well

The darkest UX pattern I have ever hit is trying to cancel Google Workspace; whereby they disable the scrollbar on the page so you cannot actually get to the cancel button.
