> I don't want to manage a server or even a docker image. I just want my code to exist there so I like the idea

agree, unfortunately in practice it's more common to throw the api behind k8s with containers

Strong disagree, we use lambda/sfn/other services to process hundreds of millions of pages of data annually and it scales beautifully while being mostly hands-free and easy to maintain with a small team.

ah if there's one thing I miss about Seattle it's living near the locks / discovery park, such a magical area!

Does this basically do what Instinct does? (viral text-only agent w/$10B valuation in short notice)

Also why do we need another name for agents? It's getting to be too much...

My first and only Waymo ride was super sketch. Car slowed down to ~5mph in a 35mph zone and stayed that way for 5+ minutes as other cars were swerving around us. Felt like it was going to come to a complete stop in the middle of the road, I prefer real humans.

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.

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.

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.

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.

very nice! curious if you could comment on the tech stack, did you use swift or react native or something else?
