Number of active users on ChatGPT is at an all-time high. Number of tokens consumed on OpenRouter is at an all-time high. I'm not seeing the plateau.

There's a lot of 'But what about' in the comments. I think it's a delightful setup. I love simplicity and tools that do one thing well.

I believe it's dishonest to give an unreviewed unedited AI answer as your own response without disclosing it's an AI answer. AI is often right enough for most people's cases, but one in ten times it's completely off the

The technological world is rapidly changing and Google is changing with it. They are in a very strong position, owning the full stack in an industry that is very early and rapidly growing. They won't win all their bets but they have en

Reflecting on the comments, I did this to myself. I should have titled this "I used AI to make me dumb".

I have a method of using voice transcription to brain dump my thoughts and ask AI to turn it into something organised and sensible.

When I wrote this I overlooked the fact that I was in management for years before, which is possibly the actual real reason I forgot how to code. I've probably also been avoiding coding by hand. That was a choice. When I went back into

I think you're right and that's probably my mistake. I should be using it as a companion rather than an independent agent. I think enhanced auto complete or function level work is probably appropriate. However what I've been

The lack of refactoring when using AI tools is definitely a concern. I've only ever seen lines of code go up.

I reckon you're right. The self-doubt is a signal and I can use it a tool.

Newsblur has been stable and consistent since the Google Reader shutdown. Has plenty of goodies. Samuel Clay, the creator, is responsive to feedback. Can't fault it.

Anecdotally, I've heard the argument made that police can knock in doors for raids, and they should have the same power over technology.

I have with Azure. They can be very generous depending on your company state, investment status, current spend, and your ability to switch to a competitor.

I'm suprised they're shutting down because of a lack of a buyer/investor rather than making it and keeping it as a successful business. Are the goals these days for a big buy out?

I understand the sentiment, and it's a nice looking bit of desk clutter, but if you're looking for a organising tool, just buy a cheap notebook for pete's sake. Keeping a notebook on your desk is invaluable if well used.

Fantasic idea and implementation. My timeline on here compared to twitter.com looks more sane and inteligent without those recommendations of 'X liked this tweet', and all the news topics. I assume that's because it's ge

The house number locations in the UK irks me. I submitted corrections for my neighbourhood for all house numbers. A year later, they all get moved back to roughly where they were. It took me a while to figure out it's detecting the hou

Hi gang. There was an older version of this video that was released first. This newer version has a lot of changes that give a bit of an insight into how they want to present themselves. Here's a twitter thread detailing the changes:

I'm in the same position. 12 years software dev. 5 years CTO. Company grew double each year. I had teams under me. I found that I had lost my developer experience over the years and I didn't feel like a good CTO. I figured I was b

'sell all your data to third parties' is an interesting claim for Edison as their marketing is very privacy conscious. Do you have sources for it? edit: ignore, I just read their privacy policy. God damn it. Can't trust anyon

Anyone with a Hikvision should air-gap it from their network. They don't pass any kind of vendor scrutiny.
