The watermark is based on stylometry - and we all know Claude has a style. But it doesn’t have to - everyone knows caveman - so not sure there is enough room in all cases for it to work.

1. Who knows that it will? The point is just that it’s possible. 2. This is one of the (many) side assumptions that are worth discussing.

pg’s argument is essentially 1. Build something people want to buy 2. If you do, you can get exponential growth of people buying it 3. This isn’t inherently immoral. There are many assumptions around this you could argue about, but he’s di

I bought a used Audi etron a couple months ago. Agent was going to try to sell me a service plan and realized none of them apply to electric :) The downstream fanout of the auto industry is huge…

That's partly because python has a very large installed base, and ease of entry (including distribution). This leads to people running into issues quicker, and many alternative solutions. Unlike something like Rust, which has much fewe

But heat = energy, right? So maybe we don’t really want to radiate it, but redirect it back into the system in a usable way and reduce how much we need to take in? (From the sun etc)

NYSE, NASDAQ, but also AMEX…

I had the AI implement two parallel implementations of the same thing in one project. Was lots of fun when it was 'fixing' the one that wasn't being used. So yeah, it can definitely muck up your codebase.

For pet projects, it might be less fun. For real projects, having to actually think about what I'm trying to do has been a net positive, LLM or no LLM.

It's about as much time as I think about caching artifacts and branch mispredict latencies. Things I cared a lot about when I was doing assembly, but don't even think about really in Python (or C++). My assembly has definitely rot

It was intel culture at one time - when I started, everyone got a card to wear with your badge with intel values, there were only 6 and ‘customer orientation’ was one. It definitely influenced my personal development, but was clearly not ad

One interesting side effect of AI is that it makes it sometimes easy to just recreate the behavior, perhaps without even realizing it..

You can do a lot of this in max (supported), and some in python (unsupported). Lots of hardware has decent hardware integration with live - a push might be interesting…

That’s fair… for every 99 they it cements their ridicule, there might be one who takes it seriously, and maybe that is dangerous…

One relevant side effect: AI seems to understand your code better when you do this as well.

And one that a lot of people skip, so that forcing function might make for better code, even if it isn’t faster.

If they represent it as entertainment… it’s a common genre to make fun of what you see as the most extreme views of the other side.

And there is lots of land - just not in close proximity to existing economic activity. It’s a common pattern.

Everyone says this… but everyone also complains about access to eyeballs. Posting is cheap, getting people to see it is not cheap or easy, and getting harder.

Why does it matter? As far as I can tell ( ) the law asks the FTC to do an estimate, they did, and now the argument was ‘some one else thinks it’s wrong’. But does the law require an actual estimate? If they are worried about this… either m

I’ll remember that you told me thanks. Will chatgpt? (Honestly curious… it’s possible)

This would make a lot more sense if there was a way to benchmark the effectiveness of a department. There are lots of edge cases in both directions that get ridiculous, but there must be a workable middle ground.

It's always been clear to me that federal agencies aren't allowed to spend money that congress hasn't authorized. It's been less clear to me whether federal agencies are obligated to spend money that congress has authori
