You only live as long as the last person to remember you. Now the internet is going to make us all immortal as our descendants research the family tree.

Zuck did announce rather recently the Friends feed is more prominent on the app. It’s always been well hidden, but I think they know people are getting sick of the mindless scrolling. https://www.theverge.com/news/63766

I love that description of the quiet, not as something absent, but something incredibly present. The Quiet. I wonder if the experiences of that quiet are comparable to enlightenment during meditation.

I’m talking about when anyone post on social media. It’s all about engagement. People don’t post on social media in the hopes that no one sees or replies to them. So I find it silly that people are upset at Adobe for having the most generic

I pay the extra cost to make sure I can cancel after my project's done. I only ever use Photoshop/Premiere and After Effects a few times a year, so it's easier for me.

They want engagement for their new account, it's what anyone who posts on social media wants.

Advertising is not a modern phenomenon, business owners would shout and have town heralds advertise through them. Everyone being literate is a modern thing and people need to learn how to modulate themselves. You don’t have to buy things ca

Love the website design. Very neat to just drop in on a country, see what’s on. Was watching two guys in Afghanistan acting goofy in a commercial. Just fascinating.

That question regarding why orchestra performances are subdue affairs came up recently when I attended a Lord of the rings concert in NYC. It wasn’t particularly rowdy, but people were certainly enjoying themselves. When I had posted about

The intent is for it to not give me any interpretations of what it’s been trained on but instead provide me with an interpretation using the plain text I’m giving it. Of course it’s going to use its training, but I don’t want it to regurgi

That’s an important distinction and looking back at my prompt. I didn’t ask it to ignore all training but instead it’s previous understanding of poetry so that it can give me an interpretation using the plain text I’m giving it. Whether it

If you ask ChatGPT to ignore all training on poetry and interpret the poem based on its own understanding, you’ll get more closely aligned to what Murphy is talking about. Here’s the output I got back out: This poem presents a moment of dec

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… This is interesting but at same time oxygen is the third most abundant element so it’s not surprising to find it, I suppose. Neat anyway.

Yeah, they forget as the chat context gets too large. A good example I’ve had is where I’ve been using chartkick to create a lot of charts, and suddenly they want to use another ruby gem. I have to remind them. We’re using chart kick.

I’ve been prefacing every code related question with “Do not write code. Ask me clarifying questions and let’s talk this out first”. Seems to help especially with planning and organizing a design rather than monkeying with code fixing it la

Those cheers after the drogue chutes deploy have got to be the best feeling of relief an engineer has ever felt. You can plan, test and validate each others work for years but when it’s finally lives on the line, all you’ve got left while w

Fiction is hard for me too, but I was able to reincorporate it by making it more social. I joined a local book club and they often read fiction books, so it's usually the better fiction out there and not stuff that I would pick out mys

Perhaps you have just found your niche. Like the person who reads romantasy or the person who reads history, you like engineering and existentialism (not an uncommon pairing) and you get something out of it. From the age of 20 to 38, I had

Reminds me of what Steve Jobs said: "Focus is about saying no". That resonates with me in that very often when I'm doing a task I was passionate on and now I'm not so passionate on it because there are 100 other things I

Java’s version growth has been interesting to watch the past few years. I remember thinking “wow 9 is out, now 10, 11 is an LTS, we’ll go to that”. Still on Java 8. Too much other things to do.

Qwant is an EU search engine, NPM allows you to specify a git repo and that git repo can be hosted on a gitlab instance or an EU provider. It’s not impossible to switch these providers, you just give up on major conveniences.

How do you define a "superhuman rock star"? Is it someone that competes at 10x the capacity of the average performance or 10x the capacity of the worst performance? Someone who is 10x the average is likely 25-100x more than the wo

I appreciate the overall point of the article, but have a gripe. The author (and others) gets it wrong on the original meaning of 10x. A 10x engineer isn't someone who is 10x as productive as their peers, they are 10x as productive as

With profiles can you use the same window for multiple tabs? Based on a video I saw, the entire window is only used for that profile and switching between profiles will lose your other profiles tabs.

I use Firefox for Container tabs. It’s useful for sites where I can’t have multiple tabs opened to same site but different login. That’s my main reason for sticking to Firefox.

I had this idea before and thought it’s too silly but as a social experiment this could become a hit. Implement rate limiting asap though. :)
