I've started saying "gate" and "bound(ed)" and "handoff" a lot (and even "seam" and "key off" sometimes) since Codex keeps using the terms. They're useful, no doubt, but AI definit

The end of ZIRP (cheap money) is precisely what ended the new-ventures/new-projects drive among big companies and turned them all to cost-cutting and maintenance mode.

The way I see it, it's literally simply the PE paying the existing owner for the privilege of squeezing the value out of the business and its customers in the short term (or in the ideal/theoretical case, running it more sustainab

The point of being the boss is getting to decide who to replace with AI, tbh. The shareholders may not replace you because of relationships/trust/accountability, and also because they don't want to have to be instructing the

It sounds doable. An AI can be made to keep modifying a game's codebase. I imagine it'd be easiest to separate out a scripting layer for game mechanics & behavior that AI can iterate quickly on, although of course it could mor

I'm enjoying the new era of agentic-coding all your ideas, but it's been obvious to me for a while that jobs are going to tend towards ones where you're liked by the decisionmaker or capital owner and kept around to be the mi

I'm not sure if the model (under its temperature/other settings) produces deterministic responses. But I do think models' style and phrasing are fairly changeable via AGENTS.md-style guidelines. 5.4's choice of terms and

I've only used 5.4 for 1 prompt (edit: 3@high now) so far (reasoning: extra high, took really long), and it was to analyse my codebase and write an evaluation on a topic. But I found its writing and analysis thoughtful, precise, and

Incredible. Knowing about Abelian groups, being able to graph y = x^3 — 2x^2 + x in one minute, and performing integration at age 7. Chomping up university-level math textbooks by 8. A classical math prodigy. I definitely empathize with &

I was always perturbed by the shift from calling them "social networks" to "social media". It signalled a friends-to-famous shift (plus ads) that I didn't particularly want. Why fill my personal feed with stuff I no

Contracts can't exclude things that weren't invented when the contracts were written. Ultimately it's up to legislation to formalize rules, ideally based on principles of fairness. Is it fair in non-legalistic sense for all o

While I agree with this, it's ironic that you used AI to generate it, the very tool that enabled the marketing slop explosion of today.

Anker's gone a little pricier compared to other Chinese brands. Ugreen and Essager were good value several years ago, and Vention more recently.

We're looking at moving to Expo from RN precisely to reduce the pain & risk of RN+dependency upgrades just to stay compatible. Google (and Apple) have been keeping us on the upgrade treadmill, so I'm hoping Expo can be respons

My sense is that Apple and Google don't really care to have small entrants into their app stores at this point. (I've jumped through all the same hoops and more.) They know they hold all the cards for now, and aren't under a

I guess if they ruin it, they're also likely to generate economic life for the area (though the owners are going to hate it). A lot of areas outside the main cities are quietly struggling. A little depressing to see when visiting.
