Download models you can find now and forever. The guardrails will only get worse, or models banned entirely. Whether it's because of "hurts people's health" or some other moral panic, it will kill this tech off. gpt-oss

I think if macOS is a tool it should change less. Looks too much like vista to me.

I can't help but feel like some product manager is behind all this... Why would it go from what felt like a predictable error to what feels like someone moving the keys around? I am guessing someone presented aggregate research that sh

Perl was of a time, so it's important to remember when it was around. CPAN was legitimately one of the first package managers for a programming language that WORKED. Contextually, its references are bash, sed, awk, and other cli tools.

This mirrors the experience of a friend of mine who teaches middle school level history. Every student has some "accommodation" which is something like: can only have three rather than four choices on multiple choice tests, test m

The feeling for me is the market has bifurcated into: delivered expensive shit in a bag, or omakase sushi. The middle ground of cheap decent made to order food is largely gone or on the way out. There are diners in my area still but nearly

Looks like bard class needs another look! I think about guardrails all the time, and how allowlisting is almost always better than blocklist. Interested to see how far we can go in stopping adversarial prompts.

"They'll never use it for evil!" It was about cost, not desire. Originally it would cost too much to have someone follow you around and keep track of where you're going. This was a kind of check against that system. Now

From turbo capitalist perspective, your work is uncaptured value. A version of photoshop you buy for 300 and don't buy again denies Adobe access to revenue you would be making over time. That purchase gets "cheaper" as you di

Oh sorry, I have the wrong polarity here: "not US citizen" on "not US soil" is what I meant. Sorry for the firestorm this created! What I mean to say is that the USA INTENTIONALLY violates rights of people outside the

Fun fact, if you're not a US citizen on US soil US law does not apply. I'm not saying this because I'm taking a side, but this was how the Patriot act had knock on effects. An interesting case of this is something like you ca

MBAs are the source of KPIism. We have spent many decades minting them at scale in the USA and now the chickens are roosting. Anything can be ruined by pursuit of KPIs at all costs. The model is to optimize a particular KPI, get your bonus,

No face, no case. They have to break it way down, just like at any org. In fact, I would ask for more tests than usual with a test plan/proof they passed. 9k is a little spicy, separate PRs, or an ad hoc huddle with them rubber ducking

You'd be surprised! I was a custom microscope parts maker during my time in academia, mostly one offs but a couple fun things that we shared with our collaborators. Surely not at your level of precision, but I did my tour of duty in ac

No grand secret, just sharing info with the guild. Wield these tools and become powerful. All my work is homey network, no corpos needed. See how far your white collar net goes when hiring freezes continue into 2026. I agree that your netwo

Software isn’t real, and your employer would sell you for meat if they could. It is only that your current value is worth more than your meat value. The value of your product is much more scalable than a pile of horseshoes to your employer.

I would like to point out it is not a sure thing, rockets explode all the time. It is fantastically dangerous. The matter of factness of the shuttle shows how good the program was, but we still had two explode completely.

I think their game theoretic aim was to completely discredit video online. Just as we don't accept text in general as truth or image when we see it, we are being flooded with completely fake vids so people can shake the idea that video

Implying that I'm lying is a tall tale, I am capturing the efficiency of my own efforts. Sorry you see it that way. Consider your employer sells your time for more than they pay you and you'll see it my way.

Yes, this is why it's better to be a contractor/individual right now. You need to capture this efficiency yourself. You have access to the same tools faster than BigCos, so go hard in the paint. If you estimate 3h, and it takes 15

My mom taught me math by playing cards with me, and taught me reading by reading me books. It has nothing to do with money. I grew in a house that had a giant hole in the floor, lead paint, and asbestos tiles in North Carolina at that time.
