I read him regularly. My appraisal is that he never goes so far as to say, “LLMs are not useful.” He constantly says LLMs do not and will not measure up to the hyperbolic capabilities the CEOs of their companies, their boosters, and a compl

This is the wrong call, we should have gone for permanent standard time instead of this. Permanent DST was tried already in the 1970s and everyone in my parents’ generation tells me it was a complete and total disaster

I find it troubling that we’re apparently reaching this level of learned helplessness where it’s considered unreasonable to assume the user is able to start a container instance.

Single-issue voting is something I consider a very large threat to the democratic process in the US, and is also something that both parties have become exceedingly good at creating in the elctorate. The reason I consider it a threat is tha

This reads like a grievance to me, so I’ll say—-I’m sorry, your company sounds like it sucks. Your skills are still valuable, I hope you can find somewhere else that values them.

Somebodies are already making “loops” <facepalm> that will add the noise back. If PR isn’t merged in <time> close and open a new one, either the same one or a new one of higher priority. If <time> is set low enough, the no

I agree, we screwed up nuclear policy here in the US but I wouldn’t say it was solely “vibes.” Three Mile Island wasn’t Chernobyl, but it also wasn’t nothing. Still, an unfortunate long-term outcome is that nuclear energy became a non start

Funny, so many words used but my brain only hears, “I am currently mismanaging this company,” every time one of these layoffs occurs.

At the beginning of this blog I knew the author spoke regularly in French with at least one human regularly. When I stopped reading I was no longer certain they speak French with any humans. I hope they decide to speak to humans in French a

John Carmack will never have to live near a data center’s constant droning noise. He’ll never have to breathe the toxic poison spewed by its gas turbines. He won’t be feel the impact of rising energy prices. Feels like a another out of touc

It was difficult to finish reading your post after you put the OP down for stating that they believe they're more original and more capable than an LLM. Maybe leave that part out next time, or at least don't lead with it. It does

Will it? I know a few Trump voters personally and their ability to self-delude is second to none.

That fragment of OP’s writing was so funny to me I’m not sure it isn’t intentionally placed. Regardless, I would rather read a thousand pages of imperfect writing than a single page of machine slop.

Just my personal take on this, but I’d happily perform real work for free instead of sitting for leetcodes and behavioral questions. I struggle with those formats a lot but have no problems shipping in a realistic problem domain. That trade

The knock-on effects of a prolonged Hormuz closure will coincide nicely with those of a super El Niño, if one develops as predicted this year.

I suspect these reasons are just more AI-washing of a mass layoffs indicative of pandemic-era business mismanagement, but supposing they aren’t… Watch Cloudflare closely and hold Matthew Prince accountable to all of these statements. If LLM

This was beautiful. I also appreciated the backlink to Peter Welch’s spiritual ancestor to this essay, which I had forgotten how to find, and had the joy of reading again.

You aren’t alone. If you look at my favorite submissions you’ll find some articles written by others that feel the same way. My advice, keep your skills and brain sharp, use LLMs in your workflow a little to stay under management’s radar. T

This is a great point, and I routinely use it as an argument for why seasoned professionals should work hard to keep their skills and why new professionals should build them in the first place. I would never be comfortable leasing my abilit
