Very good writeup and an astonishing level of negligence for an extremely security critical piece of code. The losses are going to surpass 100 million, these guys should be thrown in jail.

You mean my DIY projects that result in a dozen trips to Home Depot aren’t optimal :)

Bingo. Obviously being deficient is bad, but the reason supplementation seems unimpressive is this is one of those proxies for healthy lifestyle. Kinda like how grip strength is correlated with longevity but banging out tons of hand gripper

Exactly this! People think the one shot gets them to 95% complete on an implementation of their vision. Issue is, it actually gets you the AIs vision adjacent to what you want, and coercing that into the actual implementation you want is no

Or the person just likes to lock into flow states at the point of maximum leverage. Previously that was coding. Now it’s commanding agents.

Seriously fun! A first it felt frustrating but it was interesting that at a certain point (after about 10 minutes) I suddenly got an intuitive feel for the ball’s trajectory and it became addictive at that point. My only gripe is you render

Isn’t a big part of the issue that social media is free and funded via ad revenue. So the business incentives push towards addictive engagement and increasing viewing time to see more ads. Not so different from traditional TV, but 1000x mor

Probably not much other than scale. Facebook is large enough that they can hire behavioral researchers to make this stuff more addicting while looking the other way and raking in the money. I think Roblox is just as bad (maybe worse) regard

I suspect the issue was Sora likely had a very low ratio of consumers to creators which makes a route to monetization unlikely. There was no incentives for doom scrolling consumers to migrate to Sora when they were already getting plenty of

Completely agree. It’s very telling that the majority of write ups on effect agentic coding are essentially summaries of software engineering best practices.

This is one of the best descriptions of using AI effectively I’ve read. It becomes clear that using AI effectively is about planning, architecture, and directing another intelligent agent. It’s essential to get things right at each high lev

Actually acupuncture has some studied physiological effects. One is nervous system mediated via the release of endorphins and then a later regulatory rebound which can have an anti inflammatory effect. I think low dose naltrexone has a some

I think there’s just a lot of people who would love to push lower quality code for a variety of legitimate and illegitimate reasons (time pressure, cost, laziness, skill issues, bad management, etc). AI becomes a perfect scapegoat for lower

Also the body will increase metabolic rate in the cold to maintain body temperate which is an externality they aren’t measuring. The user of the worse clothing is very likely burning more calories and still not as warm. This would mean incr

You can become a building architect without first becoming a brick mason. Working effectively with AI is a lot more about planning, architecture, directing, etc. the education system will need to adapt, but things are moving so fast I suspe

Exactly. Why are people so repulsed by the idea a college degree may give you some kind of employable skill. Like, “Ew gross, they taught git in CS 101, how dare they degrade the purity of our scientific education.

Well the issue is the majority of people study CS to become software engineers not academics in CS. There are only a small number of software engineering degrees at select universities, so CS is the de facto route to becoming a SWE. So it’s

Exactly. The real speed up from AI will come when we can under specify a system and the AI uses its intelligence to make good choices on the parts we left out. If you have to spec something out with zero ambiguity you’re basically just codi

Yes, 5.4 seems to have added a Billy Mays feature. But wait, there’s more! They’re clearly trying to make this thing an addictive dopamine loop similar to infinite scroll apps.

For me AirPods are one of the greatest products I’ve ever owned. I resisted them for years and recited the usual tropes about wired being better. But after being gifted a pair years ago, I realized how wrong I was. I spend a lot of time at

Thanks for following up with a correction. This is a myth that simply refuses to die. I cannot even count the number of times I’ve heard people repeating it.

I think mainstream is mostly looking at the microbiome stuff wrong. Your microbiome is the downstream proxy of good lifestyle habits, not generally something to directly manage. Good diet, exercise, reducing stress, and sleeping well will i
