IKEA instructions are the best in the industry - so imagine what the other companies are giving out. They’re also actually good if you know to follow them exactly : double check every side, every hole, every screw and you won’t go wrong.

Imagine someone in a position of power mandating that LLMs should not be good teachers.

We don’t treat children like they’re stupid, we treat children like they’re children. A stupid adult is treated very differently than any child. Adults are expected to have their world models approximately correct in terms of physical env

two things can be true at the same time. oil and coal before it pulled billions of people out of extreme poverty, but the debt taken on in terms of CO2 will come due. if the gulf stream stops, we're all in for a ride - or worse, our

The problem is the baseline you get equalized to.

It’s exactly the opposite I’m afraid. Capital already has more access to AI, both quantitatively (tokens for dollars) and qualitatively (biggest players got Mythos first). Expect this trend to continue.

Anthropic is providing agentic intelligence as a service. OpenAI and Google deepmind also are in this business. The problem is, if you’re any sort of knowledge worker, you’re essentially providing the same thing: you’re an intelligence with

Hierarchies exist for a reason, take away the reason and the house of cards eventually collapses — but the house of cards is still a house. When it’s gone, we’re back to laws of the jungle. Be careful what you wish for IOW.

Much better IME, especially if you keep all development inside the wsl vm, too (which there is no reason to not do).

I’m not saying I want tinkering. I’m saying the macOS desktop environment is worse than kde or gnome for work. I definitely don’t include the setting up the box part in that, macOS on Mac is hard to beat here.

Let’s not pretend Apple screen time is any good. My 13yo daughter figured out multiple ways around it by herself and googled a few more and if it wasn’t leaking like a sieve it isn’t granular enough anyway (e.g. music apps offering videos -

I have a 2019 GPU in my windows box and I’d be pissed off if it stopped working in the next few years. Computers nowadays are useful for much longer than they used to. Spectre class vulnerabilities which take 50% performance to properly (

Ask serious security folks at serious orgs if they can afford to not run crowdstrike regardless of OS.

Indeed there aren’t many of us, but macOS is easily the worst part of the Mac experience, and worryingly it’s getting comparatively worse vs kde or even gnome each year. ‘It’s POSIX’ doesn’t cut it when I deploy to Linux and I work in conta

Demis is on record saying they need models on the edge and if they’ll be there they might as well be properly open as they’ll be dumped anyway.

I had to patch my Linux boxes daily at some point in the past couple months. I don’t want Mythos to be publicly released for as long as it is economically feasible for Anthropic. I hope they have a gentleman’s agreement with OpenAI and Deep

I don’t think anyone expects you to TBH. If you show interest, great. If not, the robot will translate your work into a different form of expression anyway. If you’re releasing open source software under BSD-like licenses, it’s still better

I don’t care if bun is written in zig, rust, go, f# or sql. If it works, it works. I also don’t care if it’s written by humans or LLMs or robot overlords from Alpha Centauri. Again, if it works, it works. The operative word here is ‘works’.

The interests of the capital class are not necessarily aligned with efficient allocation of capital. Note this is far from saying they want employees to suffer, but they install inefficient policies over them.

MCP vs CLI is the same discussion as between a GUI app and a web app: it's all about the distribution. There is approximately no difference in functionality except whether you're hitting a dedicated service or running a local tool

They can get what, 1B euros? 10B when everyone loses their mind? This doesn’t buy nearly enough compute nowadays. Meanwhile, Anthropic and OpenAI have investors practically begging them to let them buy this much equity at mind-bogging valua

The title should read 'it's hard to justify buying any other laptop than the Neo in the sub $1000 space'. It's an absolute unit of a computer; the only more revolutionary box would be the M1 Air (or the original Air. may
