You just did what some chatbot told you to do? One provided by the people whose profits you were trying to minimize?

I wouldn’t have expected that to go well.

The guy mentions that he’s never been to Tennessee and I believe him. Clearly he’s not aware of how low the population density is if he thinks trains make for sensible transport there.

My experiences have been the same… that is to say nothing like what is reported here. This is more pitch than info.

Odd timing, too given flash 2.0 release and its performance on this problem.

We use Claude 3.5 sonnet to OCR and structure tabular data from PDFs and it’s virtually flawless… orders of magnitude better than Textract (or pretty much any other LLM).

I love just! Any way to avoid remembering things is great.

Cybertruck may be the best example of over-promising and under-delivering of all time.

Why? Seems like a very expensive way to vaguely clone a game.

The new disclaimer at the beginning of the broadcast was doing some heavy lifting throughout the entire presentation.

It just went out of business for… reasons. There are better tools out there nowadays, apparently. Why emulate a sunken ship?

It’s just been so long since going from ‘head to code’ has been the hard part for me. I’d imagine you have to be very unfamiliar for this to be useful.
