Arc was the only good product they had. What a self own. To see a company fall this hard is crazy. It will be studied like Perplexity.
Can’t it just be that US standards are generally lower and it just took that as input?
I have tried to get excited about this and I just can't get their yet. I'm sure folding devices will eventually be amazing but to me this really just feels like I wouldn't have a use case since I already have small laptop and a large phone.
I use a Monte-Carlo for my retirement planning. This did a good job of telling me not to trust it but didn't really give me a better option. Anyone have one?
What an unhelpful comment.
It’s been an improvement for me.
Pick the cheapest model with good speed. ZDR, and price. If it works great. If it doesn’t pick one a bit more expensive till you get what you need.
Not entirely but its ALOT better then it was.

All at once pretty much every billionaire and public figure is asking for AI regulation at the same exact time and in the same exact way? It seems too organized to not be driven by some other force. Can someone explain this to me?
Why is their better than Mole or Grand Perspective?
You can hate AI all you want, but this is because of a bad design system, not because of a bad LLM.
I have used Fastmail for 5+ years, no real complaints other then some real emails get caught up in spam folder.
Seem's reasonable and what I hold myself and my team to.
Man that is alot to be sent every turn.
Shame its for Claude only and not a more universal harness. Also wish their was an actual screenshot of it in action.
For so many non-coding workflows, tool calling is more important.
It’s a great API. I use it in my app and it’s feels so much more accurate.
This is how i am developing keptrecipes.com. Been a pleasure this way TBH.

I'm a middle age dad and have big "I'm not paying for that when I can just build it energy" so instead of paying for a cloud service to store my meeting notes I spent hundreds of hours and built one myself and made it completely free. It works perfectly for my needs, perhaps it will for your's as well. Big props to Fluid Audio powering mine and so many of the paid apps diarization.
Hi I built this things for myself because I didn't want to have both a dictation app and a meeting app I had to pay for. After sharing it with some friends they said I should put it out there since it's free and solves problem lotsa paid apps do. There are certainly some rough edges but would love your thoughts.

Same, I was just fighting it as it accused me over and over again of Ctrl+Cing a process that clearly errored out. 3 turns for it to find why the shell script actually crashed.
Wait till you hear about about CMS migrations I did before AI existed.
