I switched from an Obsidian fanboy to only writing by hand, and I'm never going back. It seemed preposterous to put notes in something I can't back up or "CTRL+F" search, but I've found that yes, sometimes I spend t

That's exactly how I used "AI"... to augment my thinking and writing process. On it's face, it seemed insane to not utilize this instant resource. After a year I could no longer write for shit. Now we're getting stu

I used to use DuckDuckGo out of protest, despite it being inferior, but sometime in the last year (between general improvements and Google's rapid enshitification) it started outperforming Google for me.

I'm pretty sure there'd be a double-digit drop in LLM use if Google hasn't made search worse every year for the last decade.

As someone who was getting information this way most of last year, I'm pretty sure I'll never want to again. An increasing number of studies are indicating a reliance on "AI" leads to deleterious cognitive effects. I fel

I'd gladly suffer the indignity of stepping on a few leaves if I didn't have to listen to an hour of blaring leaf-blower every Tuesday morning.

AI art is like dreams. I'm amused by my own but never want to hear about anyone else's.

I've seen some prank calls (a YouTuber cloned Tucker Carlson's voice and called Alex Jones) but he just had a sound bank with a few pre-generated lines and it fell apart pretty quickly. At least for now there's too much lag t

I've tried giving it languages like Turbo Pascal or telling it to obscure frameworks like fp-ts and while sometimes it's not syntactically perfect, but I can guarntee it's not just scraping code snippets from somewhere.

I don't want to get in a pedantic argument over the definition of "intelligence" but ChatGPT got a 1020 on the SAT https://twitter.com/davidtsong/status/1598767389390573569

yeah, exactly. also the skeptics are really hung up on semantics of "intelligence" and not addressing the model's output, much less where this is going to be in upcoming years. like, take home coder test is probably just dead

That's very false in my experience, and I did 100% TDD for years (have a more nuanced approach currently in TypeScript/React) As a programmer with a problem, you first instinct is to start at the solution. TDD pulls you back, and

I used to live on a semi-busy street. About once an hour a motorcycle would drive by so loud it would set off multiple car alarms that would then blare for ten to fifteen minutes. This might sound very annoying. But after countless months o

When Apple does this, it's really hard to undersell the "reliable" aspect of it. The responsiveness and web experience of the first iPhone was just, a generational leap. Same thing with Universal Control. I've used Syner

I'd prefer to work an environment where I can't get interrupted synchronously by someone wanting their problem resolved that moment. Also, one thing with those in person interactions is you have no artifact of the interaction. Sla

biggest con is you have to look at it to do anything. being able to turn the heater or defrosters on without looking is a pretty big upside when driving. tesla changing where that is in updates and making you look for it in a new design jus

Writing code is, uh, not remotely the hardest part of software development. Maintaining it is.

it's not just the carousel. it's organic rankings too. we had an emergency AMP project after our traffic dropped 35% due to a smaller competitor implementing AMP and google rewarding them by boosting them in the search results.

by ignu 7y ago
It's not really. Google will highly reward sites with AMP (even when you're not searching on mobile.) So unless you can survive getting bumped off of the first page of results, not implementing AMP isn't optional.

This was a decade or so ago, but we used to get a list of ~2 million email addresses that we'd import into a new database and a single mailing would take anywhere from 2 to 3 days to complete. Sometimes it would take us a few days to g

The problem with VASSAL and Tabletop Simulator and Tabletopia is that... it's awkward to play a real time board game online. There's a lot of down time while everyone else takes their turn. You have to set aside one to three hours

It's really a shame that our culture ascribes living on your own to status. A new living space to heat, cool, light and manage just to live up to our culture's view of success is incredibly wasteful.
