Always exuded so much authority & confidence. What a legend.

But he start losing his hair at 17 and really struggled with it. A turning point came when a friend (a Hungarian judo black belt) and his wife wrestled him down and physically cut off his toupée with scissors.

His agent even had him do the Star Trek audition in a wig, but luckily the crew had better ideas.

I can't decide if the report's writing ("One number, followed" & "Quoted by all five. Sourced by none.") is being lazy or ironic?

Aside: Does anyone else find the new AI texture explosions Apple's using on their marketing pages now a little unsettling and un-Apple? I guess I'm desperate for at least one tech brand to feel / remain human.

This has been my hope for a while! I live in a 1911 house and the amount of small detail everywhere would be impossibly expensive by modern construction standards. I also like modern minimalism, but I know many of the drywall corners everywhere in modern homes aren't design decisions as much as cost savings measures.

Neither one: I think this is the best output they could get.

Packaging & pricing seem to be two things Anthropic really struggles with

I think the only solution will be a local model on the phone that routes these to the trash

Which benchmark? Would love to see it & any datasets.

It’s super tricky to tease out whether the similarities point towards distillation. A lot of the aesthetic similarities are naturally emergent from the training data.

The conversation examples are impressive but this made me say holy shit out loud: "it runs locally on a MacBook Pro M4 Max or better. And we figured out how to train Dessa on only one NVIDIA GB200 NVL72."

If it really can replicate that low latency + that expressiveness on local devices, that's one heck of an accomplishment for "indie" AI.

This isn’t even the sandbox. It needs Docker or other virtualization. This seems to sit a level up and orchestrate sandboxes and access to network & resources. It’s a pretty heavy setup from what I can tell.

What I mean is CMS isn’t required now for most web projects.

I heard it expressed that AI is bringing a new era of small and personal software.

I think CMSes and websites are where that is most applicable. You no longer need these generalized abstractions and can now make your interfaces and data types just perfectly match your use case with little effort.

We went through great pains to build these mammoth, one-size fits all applications like Drupal and Wordpress for running dynamic sites across industries and companies with very little in common.

These days, I love to stay close to the model and stay close to the metal.

what's striking to me is this isn't some novel, new-to-the-AI-era vulnerability. We've dealt with the security concerns around discoverable "private" links for 20+ years. There's... so much prior knowledge, art, and discussion.

How is it v1 with an architecture page coming soon? I'm really having a hard time gauging the maturity of software & services these days.
