Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing it's a shrewd decision by the corporations, just that it shouldn't benefit the Secretary of Commerce . We're a long way from having to put your peanut farm in a blind trust to avoid t

I don't think they've given up on the idea, but as AI becomes increasingly mainstream, the labs will be under immense pressure to hold the line. We're seeing this play out right now with Anthropic and the Pentagon. These comp

I don't have specific information about Minions, but I do know about Stripe's architecture and internal tooling. The article isn't really talking about changes they made to goose, it's describing how they went about inte

This was also my experience. I was a daily drinker, but once I started on tirzepatide I lost all interest. Even after I stopped taking the medicine, I still wasn't interested. I'll occasionally have a cocktail or glass of wine, bu

Like I said, lots of vibes and hearsay! :) The models are definitely continuing to improve; it's more of a question of whether we're reaching diminishing returns. It might make sense to spend $X billion to train a new model that&#

This is a really nice tool! (Also, I love the old school animated GIFs in the site's footer.)

You're over-rotating on security. Not that it isn't important, but there are other dimensions to software that benefit heavily from the author having a deep understanding of the code that's being created.

I haven't seen the supposed Signal logs, but I'm confident that there wasn't a conspiracy to bite someone's finger.

You keep commenting to cite this statute when you clearly have not actually read what it says. Peaceful protest is explicitly protected by the first amendment.

> by force, intimidation, or threat You seem to be glossing over the key piece of that statute. Peaceful protest is protected by the first amendment (free speech, right to assembly).

Roe v. Wade isn't gone because of the will of the people. Nobody voted to overturn it. It's gone because of a unique scenario involving the balance of power in the SCOTUS. Congressional Republicans simply refused to confirm a lega

Yeah, of course, he's entitled to his opinion. To me, it just feels slightly disingenuous considering what Google's core business has always been (and still is).

Yeah, I'm conflicted about the use of AI for creative endeavors as much as anyone, but Google is an advertising company. It was acceptable for them to build a massive empire around mining private information for the purposes of adverti

I feel like DI frameworks for JavaScript/TypeScript are always too complex, and rely too heavily on decorators to make up for the lack of RTTI. You'd be surprised how far you can get with using string identifiers for dependencies:

I think what's disappointing is that so many people that I've followed for years now routinely engage in daily political slapfights, or at least retweet ragebait. In the blogging era, it would have been really weird for a software

I'd love to give it another try and be proven wrong. At the beginning it felt like "old Twitter", before it became mainstream, because it was almost entirely software engineers who had left Twitter. After Trump took office it

If you think that true "free speech" is possible on any platform with an algorithmic feed, I have a bridge to sell you.

There was a real attempt earlier this year to move to BlueSky, but it's become even worse than Twitter for different reasons. BlueSky's definitely gotten a lot of the technical side of things right (as compared to the fediverse, t

I like weird people. I think most creative people like weird people. If "weird" means you have idiosyncrasies, then yeah, all of us do. In my experience, once you get to know a person, you realize there is no such thing as "n

I hate social media and what it's done to the internet, but I accept that it is now a part of the fabric of society. You can't unring the bell. (In fact, here I am, saying I hate social media on a social media site.) In the end, i
