I think it may actually be from _Think, Write, Speak: Uncollected Essays, Reviews, Interviews and Letters to the Editor_ instead. I spent an hour or so last night after seeing this tweet trying to track down the rest of this essay, and it took me a while to find the exact book it was from and find a copy of it. The funny part to me was that the whole essay was actually included in the tweets (aside from a footnote), it's very sort and pithy.
Are they planning to payback all the Geneva cantonal and CERN money they took?
I seem to recall that one of their original selling points was that they were based in Switzerland which does not have data sharing agreements with the US under the Patriot act, unlike the EU.
Cynical view - they prefer to IPO in another market than Swiss, the real reason for the move.
You can publicly list in exchanges despite not being domiciled in the exchange's host country.
For example, Chinese and EU domiciled companies IPOing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) due to a mix of easier access to liquidity and simplified rules and regulations.
The multi-LLM approach is a great direction and I like the polished feel of the application. Moving up to a more project managenent approach is welcomed. I will download and give it a go.
One thought - vendors like cursor.ai have the benefit of highly tuned prompts, presumably by programming language, as the result of their user bases. How is it possible to compete with this?
On another note, I have played around with v0 etc, but AFAIK there is no really good UX/UI AI tool that can effectively replace a designer in the way that coding tools are replacing engineers (to a certain extent).
On prompts: We've been competing with Cursor for the last 2 years in the enterprise with Zencoder, and winning nice deals based on quality. At some point, we were very protective of our prompts, but two things happened:
-most of the coding vendors' prompts were leaked, there are repos online that have prompts from a bunch. The moment you allow a custom end-point for LLM, your prompts are sniffable.
-agents became better at instruction following, so a lot of prompting changed to "less is more".
So with these two industry trends, we reversed the course:
-moved our harness into CLI - this exposes our tips and tricks, but is better for user privacy and for user's ability to tinker the harness. For example, this allows a set-up where no code leaves your perimeter (if you use local harness and "local" model, where "local" means different things for different people)
-opened the workflows in Zenflow (they are in markdown and editable)
I think my link didn’t include the Javascript to choose the 512GB configuration, but it comes out to $8070, and their refurbished models are indistinguishable from new.
The map is fake. Please note the X community note on that post:
"This map is the prevalence of male circumcision" from a 2024 study https://www.mdpi.com/2563-6499/5/3/36 (see figure 1)
The article is admittedly very difficult to follow, but that's not what it is saying.
That is something that it is quoting. Including a "community note" that it is a map of male circumcision from some academic paper.
The article is implying that the account that posted the map (which is "fake news" according to the community note in the screenshot) was revealed to be from some country other than the US.
