There used to be a Ticketmaster counter at the grocery store. You could buy groceries for the week and pick up tickets for a show at the same time. It was a far more sane (and exciting) experience.

Some people drove in. A few hardcore fans came into town (Chicago) the night before and had tents set up. There were also people coordinating with friends who did live in/close to the city to get the tickets and pay them back later. Ov

Go back to the old way. Get in line physically and go get the tickets. This is one of those "technology should help here but actually makes the problem worse in weird ways" type of situations. Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor did

No need to hate it. Just understand it, know when you're dealing with someone who is viewing it through a rational lens vs. a delusional lens, and just keep doing what you were doing. Buying into the fear is how you railroad yourself l

Because there's a severe lack of education (in the school sense) on personality disorders. I was in a relative hell for nearly a decade until I learned about the Cluster B spectrum of disorders. Once I had an answer to "what the h

Humans are humans. Not "capital." Not "resources." They're f*cking people . Business is business and you have to be mindful of costs. But good lord, is it that hard to understand that treating your employees with b

Tangential: this would be an excellent time for the Kagi folks to do a Mullvad style campaign around "Remember Google before the apocalypse? Meet Kagi."

Watching people push this stuff like this (in the face of clear public disapproval) feels like watching Uncut Gems. You can tell that they know the music is about to stop and they're all desperate to find a chair. They didn't upda

Steve already gave away the secret [1] (must watch) a long time ago: "You have to work backwards from the customer experience." AI was never going to be on Apple's roadmap in a significant way because it's in their DNA t

The problem is focusing on the world vs what's around us (and who). Technological society by definition will always be complicated (that's the purpose; to advance the technique [1]). The smaller your area of concern, the smaller y

People just need to calm down. We're scaring the shit out of ourselves for no reason. Just like, chill man. It's a tool; not the second coming.

Well this is uncomfy. Not what...a week ago this was just framed as an experiment and now it's being rammed through? Even if it works/is correct/etc, this is shockingly careless. If I'm going to be using your thing to

For those who haven't gone down this rabbit hole like me yet: skills are just structured markdown files that describe how to handle a narrow-band task. So, if I write my API endpoints a certain way, the skill would describe that specif

Knowing that genuine, disincentivized creativity is exceedingly rare (especially in the West), you can assume that the answer looks something like a carrot or a stick.

This is rad. I've been eyeballing using DuckDB in my firm's internal app framework and this just solved the "but how do I horizontally scale this" problem. Kudos to the DuckDB folks. Love "Quack" for the protoc

It is damn fascinating to see just how many (big, serious) organizations are creating unnecessary internal strife over this. One of my favorite heuristics/quotes applies here: "no matter how good the strategy, occasionally conside

Screwdriver -> power drill Hand-coding -> llms/agents Sometimes the only thing that can fit into a tricky spot is a screwdriver. The power drill didn't make screwdrivers obsolete, it just made them less necessary day-to-day.

A queue with a pre-flight check can assist with this quite well. Requests are queued and executed ASAP and you use a checker function to verify whether future requests/jobs can run. Just check that idempotency key and if it's alre

I'm grateful that my friends and I all grew up to be functional adults considering we would spend hours after school looking at ogrish and ebaumsworld.

Best way I've found around this: I design and code the UI for a given feature by hand and then let AI do the more tedious backend work (HITL/human-in-the-loop) I don't wish to do by hand. It's wonderful if you do the thi
