Absolutely, plus if you control the coding agent you can enforce certain guarantees and have it wrap your services with a custom sdk. I've been exploring this pattern in a couple of different domains where it's just a vite react app wrapped in an iframe with a JWT bridge giving auth, hosted on a separate domain.

Here's one: AI democratizes the ability to produce software, which has mostly been an arcane craft wielded by a priestly class. Now anyone, if they know what they want and it isn't too complex, can talk to AI and get working (if not also janky) software in a very short amount of time. Hopefully this breaks the grip that platforms/large corporations have on personal software and the internet.

All that says is some benchmarks aren’t worth the tokens it takes to evaluate them. Mythos is clearly capable of finding zero days other models can’t, and Fable is close enough to be lumped with it.

I'm a generalist with a focus on backend and infrastructure -- in my career that's meant a lot of diving into logs, probing systems, and solving distributed bugs. In my own time I am working on an object-oriented Javascript framework and a custom autoencoder for visualizing latent states of LLMs. Looking for the opportunity to build something great and solve interesting problems.

From talking to people, the average user relies on memories and chat history, which is not easy to migrate. I imagine that's the part of the strategy to keep people from hopping model providers.

I got a Sovol SV06 ACE a few months ago as it seemed to have most of the nice features of the Bambu (like auto bed leveling) without the closedness. The printer runs Klipper and you can ssh into it. So far there's been one issue where I had to replace a fan but otherwise it's been great. Much cheaper than a new Prusa too.

Page for the role doesn't have Seattle, only SF.

Firefox has made Mozilla billions over its lifetime by selling the default search engine rights to Yahoo and Google. Chrome, having a much greater user base, would demand a correspondingly higher fee (probably around $10b a year). Now, the other problem is there is no other search engine to compete with Google at that level, but that might change with independence of Chrome.

If you spend 1000W on 1 gigaflops, but could have gotten 1 teraflops instead on newer hardware, you are mostly just throwing money away. Unless fab capacity is severely limited in the future or energy becomes too cheap to meter, the opportunity cost is just too great for your statement to be true.
