  1. Having worked in the space I have real doubts about that. Right now Claude and other top models already do a decent job at e.g. "generate OCR from this document". But as mentioned there are serious failure modes, it's non-deterministic, and especially cost-prohibitive at scale.
  2. this. I don't know any non-tech people who use anything other than chatgpt. On a similar note, I've wondered why Amazon doesn't make a chatgpt-like app with their latest Alexa+ makeover, seems like a missed opportunity. The Alexa app has a feature to talk to the LLM in chat mode, but the overall app is geared towards managing devices.
  3. Pretty sure but yeah it's possible, either way the traffic was moving fast and we slowed down to the point where it felt unsafe.
  4. I had my first waymo ride in Austin recently and it suddenly slowed down to 20mph in 40mph zone for 5+ mins before returning to normal speed. Cars were passing around us and it felt like the car was glitching out, which felt very sketchy.
  5. my thought exactly
  6. very nice! curious if you could comment on the tech stack, did you use swift or react native or something else?
  7. Yeah I was thinking, what problem does this solve?
  8. spot on, same reason irc never spread to the masses
  9. Looks nice! I like how simple/clean it is. I spent 3+ months building a contenteditable component from scratch for https://sqwok.im, learned a lot and was fun but oh my did it get challenging, especially with cross-browser issues.
  10. Same, I've built all my recent api's in Starlette alone and I find it excellent. It's clean, concise, well documented, and you can extend it as needed, supporting small -> very large projects.
  11. that was a great read, thanks! - agentic noob
  12. Agree, overall ember has felt stable and only improved with age, unfortunately becoming increasingly niche.

    At my company I mentioned using it in passing to our cto as we were discussing a project to move our core web app from angular to react, and he laughed saying "maybe if this was 10 years ago!".

  13. Starships first flight felt similarly slow, watched in person.
