"Unauthorised" and yet seem to line up with what Elon himself likes on X comments.

Not sure why Microsoft would be fine with the reputational damage of dealing with Elon, but here we are.

Related: Within a function, I'm a fan of early bail out. While this goes against the usual advice of having the positive branch first, if the positive branch is sufficiently large you avoid having most of the function indented.

It will be possible. Like many people I've done London to Beijing in the past, and so people will do this in the future too.

Bring LLMs they always hallucinate an API it would be great to have. If you had something on the other side to hallucinate the API itself you could have a program that dreams itself into existence as you use it.

Should we be looking at what kind of employers we encourage ? Amazon doesn't seem very high quality as an employer (if you look out side the AWS bubble).

Adjustable height desk wasn't cheap but definitely has been good. I try and do my stand up meetings actually standing up, and .. most meetings (it's great for being more aware generally). But the majority of the day is sitting, ma

These things are useful. For windows users you can install a little script as a URL handler for smb addresses to go the other way.

I don't think London has private mini buses like that, just a huge amount of buses. They are operated by companies for TFL (though they are all red, you can read the company name). I'm not sure at what point that arrangement happe

Hi from London: The centre is much more pleasant to walk in, as are most places in the zone. Pollution is much, much better: if you came to London and travelled on the underground you would have black snot when you blew your nose, this hasn

Reading one of Dr Sarnos books sorted mine after over ten years. I don't think agree entirely with the model he puts forward in his book for why RSI happened, I'm naturally sceptical so it took a lot of effort to read with an open

Similar with a keyboard and mouse with Android TV - I thought it would be useful for YouTube searches etc, the UI is so ill adapted to keyboard I gave up. It's always funny charging my phone off the USB C for my monitor, nudging my mou

(Not) Looking forward to 2038 onwards as people ignore the fact we coordinated to fix this and start saying it was all a big hoax.

My first surprise on it: I made an error trying with aws bedrock where I used "bedrock" instead of "bedrock-runtime". The native library will give you an error back. Langchain didn't try and do anything, just kept p

Yeah it's unreadable for me. There's been a trend to post LLM slop about tech subjects and they anger me - I don't know why someone wanted to waste people's time like that. Even worse - I've come across an AI slop s

There is so much stuff like this right now: I have a similar feeling looming at the converse API. Why, do we have a thing that keeps returning all the text, when something on the other end is just appending to it. Then there is the code ins

One thing about a chat interface is you have to be pretty intentional about what you put in the context. For complex stuff I get it ready in an editor and then paste it in, not ideal I know - but it gets results.

Or just that so much of it's knowledge that's fresh is current president == democrat.

One way it might work: Up to it's knowledge cut off Biden, was president and a Democrat. It knows the current president is a democrat. It also knows that it's a bit further forward and that Kamala was running to be president and i

"The dialog is clear, sharp, stable, and easy to follow." if we didn't already know it was an older film this would be the thing that nailed it.

The code correctness part is very true. I don't mind LLMs as part of a journey on code, but it shouldn't be the end product. I see something submitted by a colleague that doesn't fit the problem we have + tech well, go and as

Millions of people do it semi regularly. They also do other unsafe things like drive cars and cross roads (anywhere in most countries where jay walking isn't a thing).
