Cool idea! It would help to delete all the text on the page, and write it without AI. For example, "model and manifest bytes together pick the class; every version also plays on Open"

Those behaviors have been anticipated for years if not decades. And each incident is minor and leads to clearer rules and safety behaviors for AI agents.

Two groups of people are pushing the fear: 1. People with nothing useful going on who found out that spouting made up crap about AI got them an audience. 2. People working on AI that want to feel like they're working on the Manhattan p

Google wants money. The past decade they've been replacing any leadership who thinks about serving their users or creating amazing things with people who can only think in terms of immediate money. Don't expect them to make anythi

I have some coworkers that are similar in everything--education, work ethic, and intelligence--but some of the tick out ML ideas that work like clockwork, while others get hits rarely if ever. I cannot tell what makes it work for some and n

C++ was a superb language for its time. There was nothing faster with as-powerful abstractions. It showed how far you can change a language too, with C++11 being a massively better language with shared_ptr and company. It took in almost eve

AI code is often fine. The point of the code is for the computer to do a job. And code is supposed to be consistent and boring and straightforward in its structure. AI is pretty ok at this. AI is terrible at writing. Its prose is awful and

I haven't tried opus 4.8 yet, but I hope the writing quality has returned to the Opus 4.5 level. Anthropic really lost something, where 4.5 had this really crisp writing style that flowed really nicely and 4.6 and 4.7 sound much more &

The major axis is urban+gritty to more suburby and spread out. It's a very personal preference where you want to be, but most people dislike the most gritty areas (tenderloin, most of soma). It's worth aiming for a neighborhood at

The best managers I've seen would turn this situation into a headcount request. The problem is leadership has priorities 1-5. Your team works on 1-3, but the PM keeps getting hassled about 4 and 5, so they look for levers to get them t
