Let’s be transparent and unhide the line change count under your insights tab.

Project activity is indicative of whether it will be supported in the long run. The fact that Mathesar's admin hid the line change count under insights, and padded the commits looks like a feeble attempt to impress investors.

Mathesar repo is heavily optimized for commit count. Large number of commits are spelling/padding changes. This should set off alarm bells for anything looking to use this.

Scaling compute can only be taken so far. True advancement in AI comes from optimizing compression of human knowledge. Altman missed the first principle by a mile.

Open source part is just a thin layer of UI. Built to peddle their closed backend, which is built on others' open source work. Nice.

If it takes a felon winning an election for you to come out and write this then you are a coward. Where were these deep thoughts when BLM was blocking public roads and emergency services. I'm impartial to both sides simply making an observation.

Here is a thought experiment. What if 3D printers support implicit representation natively. Resin printers are basically physical marching cube machines. FSM would need an algorithm for following contours but should be doable.

Consumers don't have to consciously choose Claude, just like most people don't know about Linux. But if they use an Android phone or ever use any web services they are using Linux.

Pretty sure most frontend developers use Chrome since it has better dev tools. And yes everyone uses Linux most just don't know it.

Anthropic should double down on the strategy of being the better code generator. No I don't need an AI agent to call the restaurant for me. Win the developers over and the rest will follow.

I suspect the biggest factor is speed. After getting used to EV for over a year, every ICE vehicle feels painfully sluggish and slow. If that's the case I'm curious to see how the numbers compare to other EVs.

I wish there's a way to restrict math notes within a bounding box. I use notes with pencil to help my kids with their math homework and it started randomly trying to solve what I was writing. I like it but wish there's more control.
