I feel like Arc nailed this perfectly with the vertical tabs and multiple "spaces", and since almost everything happens in-browser these days, this was 99% good enough. I can't understand why more power users don't find this setup ideal. I'm hoping Zen Browser can become a solid replacement.

Zen has been working as a full replacement for Arc for me since the Atlassian acquisition. There are only minor things that I miss from Arc ("development mode").

They make custom chips with a model's weights and parameters "hard-coded" which allows for much, much faster inference.

Human-slop is a new one for me. How would you define it? Low quality work written by a human? Human writing that sounds like an LLM? Something else?

For me, it is writing way too much to say too little.

Love chatting with an agent via iMessage for the right use case - it feels very natural and human. I hacked my own together with an old laptop and BlueBubbles.

How would you compare your offering with Spectrum (https://photon.codes/)?

I've been using DeepSeek Flash to replace Sonnet once the subscription stopped working. Haven't really noticed a difference, although I don't usually have it doing anything very complicated.

Do you have an example of a 4th grade problem in mind that isn't "American-style"?

Yep, clearly written by AI. Seems like an SEO-type play where they just have AI do deep research and write these reports on as many categories as possible to get traction.

Pretty smart business idea as I imagine people love ragebait about why products aren't as good as they used to be.

I'm trying to make it easier for non-technical folks to publish websites: https://weejur.com

82 sites published so far, with a really weird and wide range of content.

Working on a simple WYSIWYG website editor to go with the current functionality.

I admittedly didn’t take the time to read all 10,000 words of him shouting into the void in detail. But the capex complaints seem trivially misguided?

Current revenue is being generated from capex investments in the past; the most recent capex hasn’t begun to pay off at all. That’s expected.

Now, I don’t know if those investments ever will pay off and there are reasons to be skeptical. But if you assume the capex doesn’t lead to any revenue, then you’re just assuming the conclusion that the investments are bad…

“I’m ending this with a rant” made me laugh. What was the rest, then?
