Thank you for telling me how stupid I am.

I would like someone to tell me how stupid I am. If I were Meta/Zuck I'd open source a great model the moment my company developed it. This just looks like a pitch to investors, otherwise.

I'm big into anti tech/work related activities. It reminds me that no matter how much I know, or think I know, that I have so much more to learn. I got into scuba diving while living in NC, and it just happens that there's a

Is this not what the current US administration seeks? You can't simultaneously be the reserve currency and hope to be a net exporter at the same time.

I picked up Violin as an adult, have done recitals, and I suck. Being able to suck and find joy in something anyway even if you're not top nth percentile is a valuable life skill.

They would just assume they were being pranked. America's Funniest Home Videos style or Candid Camera.

I don't see the advantage of learning 'AI workflows'. I am in the US and there seems to be a FOMO plague infecting our school system when it comes to technology. In practice it seems more destructive to the child.

I understand the sarcasm. One thing I liked was the NYT's recent interview with (former General) McChrystal, who suggested making some form of service mandatory, not necessarily military but teaching, charity, and public works. I don&

I am bothered by the fact that many people have just resigned themselves to this state of affairs. Rather they're leaning in to this behavior themselves in small doses, incrementally, believing that having integrity is for suckers.

I'm assuming that they were buying great Rust devs (given codex is written in it).

I hope so. I will never type a single thought of my own or personal detail into an OpenAI product again. I have no doubt at some point OpenAI will be asked by DoD to hand over customer data and they will do so. If I use AI at all for non

Well, apparently they give you some miniscule rewards points for meeting step or activity goals. I told my wife who was immediately intrigued. Pump out more apps that appeal to women.

My theory is that they both went through normal procurement processes. At some point, one of Palantir's forward deployed sales agents slapped someone's arm at the golph course and said, yes we can automously kill with our AI agen

You can deploy Opus and Sonnet on Azure.

Friction is the entire point in human organizations. I'd wager AI is being used to build boondoggles - apps that have no value. They are quickly being found out fast. On the other side of things, my employer decided they did not want

Youth really is wasted on the young lol. If only I could get all those hours back and do pretty much anything else.

Reads like a love letter to his new employer. Hopefully it earns him points there. I admire his work and will just pretend I never read this.

He may be smarter than I am, but I'm smart enough to tell that he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

As far as 90's cyber films go it was probably The Net that had the most realistic vision of the future. Workin from home, ordering pizza.

I probe Claude on occasion when I don't feel like looking up source documentation. A couple weeks ago, I was interrogating it about a system that happened to use Kafka. Last night, I was asking it to propose an entirely different sol

Sure, and if we keep going back in time to perhaps the greatest American athlete of all time, Jim Thorpe - he'd handily be beaten by elite high schoolers today.

No, and I agree with the conservative sentiments here. However, putting together a SaaS alternative that frees up money during a crunch, and now with the pet features your boss has always wanted, is potent indeed.

That sounds like a good strategy to me. We have a couple other products we're looking to knock out to reduce costs, and the decision comes down to me and another colleague. The thing these businesses have in common - difficult to par

Pretty much. My employer was looking to cut costs and they were spending ~500k a year on a product that does little more than map entra roles/groups to datasets and integrated with a federated query engine through a plugin. Took a co

Thanks for this. Showed some of my colleagues who thought it was cool also.

No, I am not a code monkey. I have an odd role working directly for an exec in a highly regulated industry, managing their tech pursuits/projects. The work can range from exciting to boring depending on the business cycle. Currently

My disillusionment comes from the feeling I am just cosplaying my job. There is nothing to distinguish one cosplayer from another. I am just doordashing software, at this point, and I'm not in control.

So, I am then interested in non trivial software written with LLM assistance and in Rust. Off the top of my head I'm aware of Turso (supposed sqlite successor), marketing approach aise, I find it interesting to see how that works out.
