It also hints even The Big Guys can’t LLM their tooling fully, and that current bleeding edge “AI” companies are doing that IT thing of making IT for IT (ie dev components, tooling, etc), instead of conquering some entire market on one cont

I made this joke in another thread, but: I keep imagining Afromans court getup as the formal attire for American civil lawyers. Like robes and wigs, suits n ‘fros.

The same way Brits use robes and wigs, I think it would be fitting for American lawyers to dress in flag suits, flag aviators, and a formal Afro.

Twitter is not like it always was. The presence of oranges doesn’t speak to the volume or rot-level of the apples. Twitter has lost advertisers, credibility, and legitimacy. That’s objectively demonstrable in the calibre, quantity, and ai

And what about frequent chats with work friends? No, not work, just hey how ya doin, and then someone brings coffee, then there’s a quick gab about the game, then a half baked question before a little catchup about that show. 2-4x salaries

I believe they’ve also deployed hybrid solutions: FPV fibre drones launched and piloted via link to an unmanned platform. So a drone boat with good/secure signalling pulls up and a bunch of fibre optic drones launch from that point pen

CLI’s and shell commands can be wrapped by and packaged into scripts, those scripts can have meaningful names. On Windows at least you can assign special icons to shortcuts to those scripts. I’ve used that approach to get non-technical nea

I get less concerned about LLMs taking or jobs by the day, and more convinced they’ve already taken away our internet. There was a time of BBS and text based systems where only genuine humans could participate, and a lusty lady on mIRC was

Back then the day Yahoo was a manually curated index of submitted & verified sites with search capabilities. Wild-ass business idea: what if Yahoo 2026 recreated Yahoo 1996 and also any of the video sites it bought up back in the day ge

A $10 one time not-an-asshole fee is totally reasonable. History also shows you can take a $10 fee and maintain quality on SomethingAwful for quite some time.

Is it possible the foreignness makes ‘W’ appealing as it signals cool modern tech alignment or something? Like how ‘X’ attracts marketing and typographic knuckle-draggers in English, or how all our AI companies have butthole logos for reaso

Zuckerberg runs a company beholden to its platform operators: Apple, Google, and Microsoft who dictate online advertising access. Metas investments into VR make abundant sense as an effort to capitalize on a market where Meta was leading, h

From a management perspective I would be highly skeptics of token leaderboards. You are incentivizing people to piss away company money with uncertain rewards. I mean… throw some docs into the context window, see it explode. Repeat that a

Genuinely novel discovery or invention? Einstein’s theory of relativity springs to mind, which is deeply counter-intuitive and relies on the interaction of forces unknowable to our basic Newtonian senses. There’s an argument that it’s all t

In hindsight, 90s through 2000s, I think we were coming up in an era of consistent UX refinement and improvement that we took for granted, and that improvement got nailed by mobile transitions (first to phone then to pad and now to AR). MS

Any sufficiently advanced LLM-slop will be indistinguishable from regular human-slop. But that’s what they are after. This heuristic lets the project flag problematic slop with minimal investment avoiding the cost issues with reviewing low-

Grok “apologizing” for generating potentially illegal images and related cases working through various legal systems is an early test of that lack of liability shield. There are a number of industries where I don’t think “kinda…” is an acce

As a general issue of hygiene I tend to wrap any ORM and access it through an internal interface. 1) The joy of writing and saying DapperWrapper can’t be overstated. 2) in conjunction with meaningful domain types it lets you handle these is

Resumes and legalistic exchanges strike me as ripe for prompt injection too. Something subtle that passes first glanced but influences summarization/processing.

Those forced conversations have a shelf-life because they’re artificial. Note, rather, how friends converse and how little scripting is involved. When two good friends meet they don’t say their profession, or academic rank, or ask interrog

One thought experiment I keep having when I see LLM hype: imagine if our outsourcing companies could be as blasé about copyright as OpenAI, and how profitable they could be. I mean, rename some dudes over there to ‘transformer’, and let the

I think it’s the framing. ‘Bet’ makes us think about doubling up. This guy made a very calculated low risk wager for pretty great near-term rewards. He outperformed most hedge funds over the same period. If he had gone all in on ‘black’ tw
