Don't worry, the people in the McMansions do not care that coastals correctly point out their lack of aesthetic sensibility.

Hand-crafted has always been the gold-standard of high-status. AI content is inherently low-status. To the extent that AI adds value, it is being captured, rather than going back to the consumer.

While all automakers are incentivized to make driving in the competition's vehicles as hellish as possible, Tesla is doubly so. The worse it gets to drive, the more likely people are to want self-driving.

I like what he's driving for here. I think of it more like code gardening, or urban planning: the code is going to go somewhere. How do we make sure that all the code grows in a neat and organized way instead of a sprawling or tangled

These AI companies have never been incentivized to make your code better, but I guess they're saying the quiet part out loud now.

Nice snark, but they're not all convinced of that via short form video. You can reach the same conclusion from 4-hour podcasts. Your point is kind of irrelevant.

Ok, so how many jobs does AI have to take (replacing existing or filling new "jobs") to pay off, then?

Indeed, the leap takes place in the second half. > Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to apologize to weights? How did we leap to this? There's nothing to apologize to. They're weights.

This is a great article. A lot of the objections ITT he addresses directly in it. His examples of how an LLM works at a fundamental level and why it says things like "I understand" are great introductions for non-technical individ

This x1000. This is the culmination of 15 years of frontend dev culture. Why does RedHat even have an NPM repo?

A lot of disagreements ITT, but a lack of counterexamples. If this theory were false, we'd expect to see: * places with strong in-office presence where juniors are not being hired * remote teams with strong hiring of juniors

I've heard of stuff like this but I think it's fading. I remember tuning into in-flight radio a few years ago and hearing "love when you hit the ground, girl." If anything, I find the loosening strictures unimpressive, s

I suppose we won't need to take pictures of ourselves together then either. Just let the AI remember it for us wholesale. No, I reject that. If there are to be pictures and shirts, let them be real, or let us forego them. If it's

It's an interesting approach to the fact that navigation in human spaces is very difficult to generalize, which is probably the main reason that robotics has lagged, say drones.

People always talk about "no expectation of privacy in public." Ok, so would you support total universal surveillance of 100% of public space? Or a drone that perches outside your house when you are inside, and then follows and su
