Working under Steve Jobs at NeXT and then Apple it was always about excellence and could grandma use it. Money as the key to everything never came up. That kind of thinking led to iPhone and Apple as it is today. Seems like this money fir

That should help, but there is a fundamental problem. A conscious entity exercising good judgement can say they don't know a good answer or method for getting one, but an LLM will always compose a response for a given prompt.

Getting the government together is absolutely something we should do. If you are serious about science and technology then there are funds available and moving to Europe is not necessarily the only strategy. Do you really think that scien

There is a lot of private funding available with a broad range of targets and boundaries.

And yet, some of the most important questions that come up with technology is which one should I use, how much does it cost, what are the best practices, what serious risks should I look out for, and that sort of thing. With generative LLm

In the past bullshitting would only get you so far, but now bullshitting is both pervasive and revered. Contributors who specialize in taking things all the way, getting not just features but entire projects complete and fully functional a

This is the cost of not allowing this technology to be organically introduced and spread. By ramming generative LLMs at everyone and linking usage with job qualifications and performance issues like this have been sidelined along with the

What about the whole idea came together in the shower thing? Would be interesting to see comparable data for showering.

People and customs related to food are not primarily geographic in nature. Japan is a strongly ordered society, not a roiling chaotic mess like the US. When people run into trouble they often hide their shame and starve themselves rather

The waste generated is also a major challenge. Having fresh food always ready means trashing a lot of meals. In the US there are networks of food banks and such, but it can still be difficult to keep up with the flow of unpurchased food t

The state should handle personal records, authentication, and age verification. Compliance should be as simple as implementing dead simple state provided interfaces.

Or nowadays managers can use an LLM to take control, sieze the moment, and make the buy button bigger.

Not even janitors. Messy toilet clogs may demand immediate attention. Software sanitation is relatively low in priority.

Seems more like the issue is nuance and consideration or not. One side is saying that it is possible to do things that have value using LLMs. The other side is pointing out that this technology has increasing costs, is requiring data cent

Working on some experimental coding it reminded me how coding in little steps then testing, documenting and coding some more is basic to making development work. Now LLMs encourage big chunks of development all at once. The interfaces, back

Sort of. There is no built in support for evacuation methods, but the WayMo absolutely does use a master control system for network the cars. This is how the database of streets is kept and is why WayMo vehicles occasionally swarm private

Kind of like digging in tar pits: Hey, look, there's another one of those.

Yikes, first LLMs took my emdash away and now they are coming for my verbose qualifications.

LLM usage has costs that are open ended and rising. The author describe how he relates to that as a relentless cheapskate. This isn't supposed to be a directly applicable lesson to most, just a point of reference for further consider

It is interesting that his speech started strong and then ran aground and sunk on the same dangerous reef he began by pointing out: “The same platforms that gave everyone a voice, like you’re using now, also degraded the public square,” he

It has been known for a while that a wide range of land animals use shared latrines. There are signs that they act as a kind of billboard that lets all around rate activity levels, check on big players in the area, and smell the spread of

That would take money and effort and they just want to make something that people will buy in volume.

That isn't enough. Over time the need for growth and increasing profits will squeeze existing margins.

Craig Federighi is still there, right? He had a lot to do with bringing together NeXT frameworks and enterprise database interfaces. If Tim Cook's successor is truly engineering oriented then we might see them work together to get th
