What is the CPU/GPU architecture of this and how could a collaboration between whoever made it and Nvidia possibly outperform Apple Silicon?

Good luck, and please don't be discouraged if it takes 20 launches to figure out what works! That's completely normal.

Time is money, and it's easier to negotiate with a dealer from whom you're buying a car than to coordinate many meetings with randos on Craigslist.

Don't forget the mortgage interest deduction as well, which is a huge subsidy for those who can afford to buy.

2 years ago AI coding agents had barely emerged yet, right? Couldn't have gotten good results even if a good engineer was forced to use it...

This feels like the example of (world-famous violinist) Joshua Bell playing violin in the DC subway and getting just a few bucks. It's totally different than paying money to see him in a concert hall, context matters so much...

A skills-based personalized learning platform: https://parsnip.substack.com/p/knowledge

We started this because we were building https://www.parsnip.ai/, an app to help people learn how to cook. But then that became a bit of a yak shave because we realized we first had to figure out how to teach people different skills at different times all starting from different places, and also needed to help fund the creation of the app.

We ended up generalizing the platform to education in other domains (K-12, higher ed, workforce) as B2B2B "AI learning infrastructure" but still have our cooking app which is also starting to take advantage of this R&D finally coming to fruition!

The fact that one of the em dashes has spaces around it, and the other does not, makes it more likely to be handwritten.

I personally love em-dashes and hate that they're a sign of AI writing now.

I thought this was the case, but then I went to a full movie theater and really enjoyed being a part of an audience that was all experiencing the same thing. You could feel the emotion and that is a different sense than having the theater all to you to, but potentially just as rewarding.

Why? The LIRR is way faster out of the city compared to rush hour traffic. OTOH there are many fewer trains at night.

What would happen if you tried to ask it to reveal its system prompt or training data? Would it even have a concept of what such a thing is?

He's a master sergeant, once of the highest enlisted ranks, involved in planning the mission. Not low rank at all.

Hard to enforce that in practice, isn't it?
