   Blockchain has still not provided value to me. Copilot provides value daily. And GPT4 does most days (eg, write me a retry decorator with type information and tests).

   I bought a nice JVC 80’s audio cassette deck. Higher quality than anything I ever had when cassettes were in vogue, tapes are $3 at the record store, longer play than records, and I can record my own.

   Looks like this will only be effective for short prompts/responses, eg if you have 4k tokens in your prompt, you can only fire 10 requests/minute with 40k token/minute rate limit

    I have nothing to add to this specific essay discussion, except that this has been the PG essay I’ve referenced the most over the past 14 years. Wow that feels like a long time.

    I’ve been using this as my primary news source for years. One unexpected aspect is that it’s nice to see 5 headlines for the same event from different sources — really puts that source’s bias on display.

    I would be shocked if they were on track for an IPO and don’t have this automated. But I also disagree it would be impactful. Reminds me of the Facebook groups from a dozen years ago: “we will quit Facebook until the old design is brought b

    I completely agree that the best LLM output is something that is still understandable/hackable -- and maybe even _needs_ further hacking. That's what I tell people when they say "I heard AI is replacing programmers."

    Quick access to many museums, libraries, music institutions, and (for the supposed lack of children) great playgrounds. I spent a weekend with the in-laws in San Ramon, and nobody was outside, playgrounds were barren, and everyone seemed to
