A game changer for me was the link hints extension on firefox and chrome: instantly enabled a lot of websites to be keyboard-driven.

Michael Burry managed just fine, I believe. Secondly, I think the "in every case" is too strongly worded. I am working in an org right now where it has not happened yet. Perhaps it is only a matter of time, but let me have my opti

My take is that when the bubble bursts good software will remain. Right now all the big players are hiding the cost. Anthropic (in my mind) is especially egregious at tokenmaxxing without telling you whats going on. A simple request to edit

Thank you for the insight! Are you going back to the changelog and editing the CVE-PENDING? I think this would be a justifiable edit of the release history that I'm not sure is possible on github.

Is the simulator faster than this? I would suspect so.

Wait so a third party app-store is allowed in the EU? I was not aware these even existed...

Yea, my bet is that there is quite a long list of money bags sitting behind the leadership team that will weigh in if the offer is juicy enough.

Many interesting metaphors to find, "it's like the printing press", "it's like IDE's", "it's like going from hardwired programming to assembly language". At the same time it's unlike an

Become a manager? retire? I write code in my work, and enjoy it. I also write less directly because of llm's but get to read more (which I luckily also enjoy, as long as I understand what is going on). I think you made more of a snide

Nature v. Nuture. Age long debate, not to be solved here... but an interesting fact about this I heard in a huberman podcast. There are regions in you brain that will only get activated at a certain age (different in men and women) that wil

I think the argument against anthropomorphizing is not really about how you interact (chat) with an llm but rather how you treat it in the context of its status in work/society. There are still important differences between humans and

Woa. I'm with you all the way but let's agree that the people who think the disabled should be exterminated is a minority many of whom died at then end of world war II? Even if I tolerated someone else exterminating people, hell

I'm happy to give some lazy dude smoking weed all day my tax money. 1. Working gives me satisfaction and money. 2. A lot more people are doing worse things with my tax money. 3. I don't envy that lifestyle in the slightest... if s

Very elegantly put! So much so in fact, that I finally put down my phone to grab my laptop in order to write this. I have had a similar much cruder version of this thought: LLMs are not human, they don't know what it's like to stu

There is a good podcast on this topic: hot money (2022) from the Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/762e4648-06d7-4abd-8d1e-ccefb74b3... spoiler: visa and mastercard do act as a morality police.

Hilarious is what it is. I find it endearing and reminds me of my youth idolizing historical figures and playing role playing games and lord of the rings assembling the team. My jaded middle-aged self though puts it in the category of LLM m

Yup. I read the second version twice and am still not sure what the ask is and what to do. Prime example of not having a clear ask and showing too much hubris behind some polite questions. "Have you ever considered making a better prod

I did my masters in the UK and PhD in Germany. The difference in quality graduates (in engineering) is staggering. The first two semesters are more challenging than the 4 years Meng.

in my experience it (announcing to people in your network that you are job hunting) is precisely what you should be doing. Some might even point you to the next opportunity. I understand your concern though and have personally only shared i

You are correct, but an RC circuit is part of the amplifier circuit and you can do a lot to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) depending on frequencies/signals are trying to amplify versus the ones you want to filter out.

Very interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. No I am not a bot, I'm for reals. My two cents with the EU tinted glasses. I completely agree with failures of governance that you mention. Especially the plane/train cost comparis
