Really...?? :)

"Sorry son, you can't get these glasses. It's for the betterment of humanity."

I think you missed their sarcasm

... Yeah probably huh :)

You just don't know sometimes.

Kindly -- I think this is a symptom of the larger issue, right?

You shouldn't need a document to help persuade the consumer (or the more technically inclined ones anyway). That magic should just be self evident. We don't need a document to understand why the iPhone was a hit, right?

Doesn't matter if you have the greatest app in the world. If it overwhelms the user on first use, it's simply not going to be used.

I agree at first glance it is overwhelming unfortunately.

> You shouldn't need a document to help persuade the consumer

For the most part we don't. They get it, they have the frustration with duplication, and they see the value of our pricing being the same or cheaper than one or two of the apps their paying for.

The harder part as I said in the original comment is no one is searching for a household data solution. It's not a thing that exists to people, and we don't advertise (mostly) as "a budgeting app" or "a to-do app", so the persuading if you want to call it that comes from catching these buyers and showing them that yea, we do that, and so much more.

Interesting -- that makes sense. Appreciate the response.

:) Even saving 1 life is worth celebrating.

Much more, 33,241.

He tried this with ChatGPT too. It called the item a "novelty cup" you couldn't drink out of :)

If you're resting well with your current setup, I wouldn't change it. There are so many individual factors involved with good sleep.

It's well meaning but I think this goes against something like the curb effect. Not a perfect analogy but, verbosity is something you have to opt into here: Everyone benefits from being able to glance at what the agent is up to by default. Nobody greatly benefits from the agent being quiet by default.

If people find it too noisy, they can use the flag or toggle that makes everything quieter.

p.s. Serendipitously I just finished my on-site at anthropic today, hi :)

It all depends of course, but generally no, a laptop could handle that just fine.

There may be a risk of running into thermal throttling in such a use-case, as laptops are really not designed for sustained loads of any variety. Some deal with it better than others, but few deal with it well.

Part of why this is a problem is that consumer grade NICs often tend to overload quite a lot of work to the CPU that higher end server specced NICs do themselves, as a laptop isn't really expected to have to keep up with 10K concurrent TCP connections.

I've been tempted for a long time.

I don't think I would need VC to get off the ground.

I keep coming back to the gigantic headache of content moderation, and it gives me pause not to do it. There are some truly terrible people who will try to tear the platform apart.

I wonder if you break TOS by sending unlawful content that way... :) Would have to be local model I'd imagine.

+1.

It's a push out.

That's fine. We'll take our attention elsewhere.

Agreed. But I don't think the time scale will be similar.

Chess is relatively simple in comparison, as complex as it is.

On the other hand, chess is not very financially rewarding. IBM put some money into it for marketing briefly, but that’s probably equal to about five minutes of spend from the current crop of LLM companies.
