Nothing makes me feel like more a chump than getting halfway through a blog post and realizing it was likely cowritten by an LLM. And I love LLMs! I use them all the time. But I just can't darmok at tanagra my way through tortured LLM-

The Drifter is a great example of a slightly more modernized take on the classic adventure genre. Had a slow start and some grating voice acting, but gosh it ended up being a great experience.

I went through a “100%” phase recently and couldn’t for the life of me understand why I was suddenly saying it ALL THE TIME. Brains are so weird.

It's hard to take this piece seriously if he's citing _Ed Zitron's_ math, and equally hard to make the blanket statement that flat-rate plans = "the current AI pricing". But yes, those pricing models were pretty sil

At least on the HomePod side, intercom is at best a half-baked feature and at worst an infuriation machine. It uses a cumbersome voice trigger ("siri, tell <room>…") to begin recording audio, with no clear indication of when

Okay, so then — who gets squeezed more by AI: the clueless or the losers?

Nope. Still does not. I have 2 macs on my desk and no simple way to connect them to a single Apple display! It's a glaring hole that to me suggests they have no idea who their market is for these.

I think many deployments of modern technology do turn us into reverse centaurs, and we should rail righteously against those. But I don’t at all believe that AI-assisted coding is doomed to do this to us and believe thinking so is a misread

Unlike many of those approaches which concern themselves with delivery of human-designed static UI, this seems to be a tool designed to support generative UIs. I personally think that's a non-starter and much prefer the more incrementa

that's not quite what parent was talking about, which is — don't just use one giant long conversation. resetting "memories" is a totally different thing (which still might be valuable to do occasionally, if they still le

i'm geniunely curious about how you made the jump from "here's a single regulation" all the way down the slippery slope to "can't regulate away ALL parenting". does this one regulation cross that threshold

I think for enterprise it’s going to become part of the subscription you’re already paying for, not a new line item. And then prices will simply rise. Optionality will kill adoption, and these things are absolutely things you HAVE to be abl

> The bulk of the responsibility is, and should be, on the leader to avoid misunderstandings in the first place. This can be both true and unhelpful at the same time. “Extracting the kernel” is about putting agency back into your own ha

Not to look a gift horse too much in the mouth, but I find the multiple English translations overwhelming! But at the same time, the range of interpretation and the different colors a translator can inject are truly wild. There is no true t

I was very delighted by Aqua v1, which felt like magic at first. But I’ve noticed/learned that I can’t dictate written content. My brain just does not work that way at all — as I write I am constantly pausing to think, to revise, etc a

Fantastic game, and really enjoyed the thought you put into "submit-gate" and entertaining ideas from the peanut gallery.

I love this nongrammatical/idiomatic use of parentheses actually. Language is a tool, and its rules can be just as powerful when violated as when upheld. In this case they convey a subtext you can’t get as gracefully by being a slave t

Interestingly, this is the exact opposite of the point the article makes — which is that over time, more general models and more compute are more capable, and by building a domain-specific model you just build a ceiling past which you can’t

Magnet is great, with very good sane default keybindings so you can just install and go.

It really is. People have a hard time balancing focusing on their deliverables vs truly paying attention (either broadly or deeply). I tend to err toward the attention side which makes me a terrible task deliverer, but I think on balance pa
