I wrote about the generative video editor I've been working on for the past year, and the progress so far: https://t.co/HdRzBYNojO

If the knicks could pull that comeback then openai can come back against anthropic

Asked a question so dangerous they sent my ass to haiku

@charles_irl damn now this is next gen marketing

@garybernhardt I think a big part of this is because how hard it is to train and update a decent embedding model that works better for your actual data and domain than just plain text and associated tools

@antirez mine has also been throwing panics... assumed it was my macbook hardware about to die

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@JungleSilicon wow ! it's looking great, amazing progress

So there's two things: the broken state of OpenTelemetry auto instrumentation in the (I'm assuming) JS ecosystem (which may be valid, but also an opportunity as a vendor), and the net value proposition of Tracing.

Tracing done right should be a way to organizationally go an abstraction layer above the behavior of your specific code / system, and provide full context for a given workload.

Proper instrumentation should allow everyone to think in terms of all running services and their live behaviors / interactions for a given workload rather than a pile of information to be sorted through and filtered like logs, which usually require system specific knowledge to be maximally useful.

Wonder what percentage of market price discovery is being done by LLMs at this point and whether their sycophancy might be exploitable

@trishankkarthik He comes home to men stealing his wealth, harassing his wife, and actively trying to kill his kid. He arrives in disguise to assess the situation before revealing himself. Odysseus is a thinking and strategizing hero first.

@M5Stack How do I get notified when this is ready? And does it come with a battery? What sort?

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@paulg It’s almost like LLMs are an IP laundering technology…

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@alexiskold Congrats to the team!

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@steveruizok Hell yeah

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@antirez Man there used to be this really cool place called the market where you could make a bet on the gap between what companies promised and what reality decided.

@_vade 👀you looking for a new gig?

@Afinetheorem @InsiderTakes The problem is that this line of thinking assumes the future will look like the past. This year has been a terribly volatile business environment in the United States in ways that feel like they’re accelerating.

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@InsiderTakes @Afinetheorem It only takes missing one Shopify to disprove this

[Kirk Kaiser @burningion]

@Afinetheorem Also, don’t forget about Waterloo!

@Afinetheorem Gary’s explained heuristics are unbelievably bad. Averages don’t matter when all the returns are at the tail.
