We will not get a coherent AI (or any policy) from this administration, nor will we get coordination with other governments and a lot of that is on the tech right

I have no words, but this tribute is beautiful. I can’t imagine losing someone like that after so many years. Heartbreaking

Coming back to the states after traveling abroad is always astonishing. For all our wealth, it genuinely feels worse than somewhere like Brazil in many of our big cities

First of all, this is incredible. Like genuinely insane. Also I bet you can do crazy things with that tranducer. If stuff like this keeps coming out, we have nowhere near enough compute

is it not similar? taking raw data, some vector of data and constructing a visual image

I don't think these companies are obligated to run a free tier. Someone has to pay the infra. It's a little shady that they didn't announce any of this though. But bitwarden is open source and you can host it all yourself

The future (if we keep using money to allocate resources) is something akin to feudalism but worse. If you are born at the bottom you will never rise to the top. It's bleak. Even worse, your labor will not be needed, nor will your inte

I find LLMs so much more exhausting than manual coding. It’s interesting. I think you quickly bump into how much a single human can feasibly keep track of pretty fast with modern LLMs. I assume until LLMs are 100% better than humans in all

They make a big difference. For example if you use the Jira cli, most LLMs aren’t trained on it. A simple MCP wrapper makes a huge difference in usability unless you’re okay having the LLM poke and prod a bunch of different commands

I was going to say, how on earth does it take 3 months to build 12 ramps. Seems like there’s a much deeper dysfunction. Ramps should genuinely be able to be stamped out at scale. This is the type of thing China would do in a few hours

Sorry, how on earth does it take 3 months to make curb cuts

Yeah that happens to me too. It’s hard to know where it’s going to break off and follow instructions too well vs use it as a tip. Idk it’s all tiring

being TOO steerable is another issue though. Codex is very steerable to a fault, and will gladly "monkey paw" your requests to a fault. Claude Opus will ignore your instructions and do what it thinks is "right" and just

At this current pace, if "the electorate" doesn't see real benefits to any of this. 2028 is going to be referendum on AI unfortunately. Whether you like it or not, AI right now is mostly - high electricity prices - crazy comp

I think for the first time I’ve been considering moving off iOS because of liquid glass. The bugs on apple products have hit a breaking point for me. Mac is still unequivocally the best laptop around imho, but it’s less clear cut for phones

I think immigration currently is fucked up and there needs to be clean, legal avenues for immigrating. I don’t think immigration policy is too soft. It’s much too hard if anything. But immigration policy =/= immigration enforcement. I

I live in a very very good area of Brooklyn and still regularly run into needles, human shit, and open fentanyl use. LA is similar unless you never leave your little neighborhood. DC was similar when I lived there about 4 years ago. SF is c

100%. It’s very hard for me to make a case for urban living, and more apartments, and less cars when the average experience in cities in America is rampant drug use, and tons of unenforced quality of life issues.

It feels like we (and I specifically mean the left) has decided to nearly universally stop enforcing rules on a large basis as an alternative to legislative reform. We’ve basically decided that actually reforming the bureaucratic machine is

Feels like non news. Or at least, a continuation of existing trends. We don't build enough housing, so housing becomes a good investment, eventually pricing out everyone except existing investors or people with large assets. We' s

everyone I know uses partiful for events these days

I don't see how this competes with partiful. Feels like it'll be another half baked never updated app from apple. I wish they'd open their apis and integrations more. Feels silly that these apps get first class access to appl

I agree. I tried to get it to work recently with datadog, but there was so many hiccups. I ended up having to use datadogs solution mostly. The documentation across everything is also kind of confusing

I’ve thought of something like this for a while, I’m very interested in where this goes. A highly async actor model is something I’ve wanted to explore, and combined with a highly multi core architecture but clocked very very low, it seems
