I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt and believe it’s just awkward phrasing. You can use it to remove paint from an aircraft. Just don‘t do it while you’re on one, as a passenger while it’s in flight.

TFW a single question/answer captures your entire personality.
Linearly? (Understanding -> Generation -> Creation)
Or….

I feel like 90% of predictions on “the impact of AI” don’t take this reality into account.
Tell her it's cheaper to buy in board form. You'll save money in the longer run, not having to buy individual tubes of caulk.
If you figure out how to do this explicitly, let me know. There's some humans I'd like to test it on.
I feel like we’re in a weird part of the history of building software.
Last month I built a “summarize my calendar” app. It took 10-15 mins of planning with Claude and 90 mins of fighting with Google Auth to get the app access to my calendar.
Isn’t this the plot to Let the Right One In?
I can’t help but think this is the prelude to some sort of “slavery was a choice” type moment…
I’m either completely misunderstanding their argument or have been using “stochastic parrot” wildly differently than the way they’re refuting…
Kid and an injury. I’m turning 45 next year so maybe I’ll do something then to make up for it.
Nice. I asked about the birthday because I had planned to do it around my 40th because it’s close to 40 miles. The universe had other plans for me though.
Nice! By any chance is this to commemorate a birthday?
What’s the big objective?!?!
They're both pretty spot on. Full disclosure I'm strongly on team Wawa.
Either of them have a take on the wawa vs sheetz debate?
I can’t believe that all these years of not trusting your coworkers, treating them like children at best, adversaries at worst, hasn’t prepared infosec for not trusting agents.
This is pretty cool! llmfit: evaluate a host of models for their ability to run on your machine github.com/AlexsJones/l...
Gave it a shot, and enjoyed learning that all my hardware is underpowered 😅
New hype cycle just dropped.
As a child I only knew of jazz from Peanuts holiday cartoons. As an adult first meeting people into jazz, I often wondered why they played so much Christmas music.
I'm running an experiment on LinkedIn. Curious if it's gonna tank my business.
Where are you on the order of arguments for `ln`? Feel like I might be north of 20 years, and still haven't gotten it.
Bold choice from Team Canada for their Olympic jerseys. I wouldn't have gone with an Imperial Royal Guard theme, but that's just me.
I'm also disappointed in Anthropic's latest model. Why are you asking *me* for my SSN? Should you be able to find that on the dark web or something?
The current discourse be like...
When I got something working that I could engage with from my phone, I noticed I started having a very social media like relationship with it. Pulling it out pretty regularly to check where my agent was, unblocking it, un-misdirecting it, etc. Thinking it would take 10-20 secs but getting sucked in.
Thinking about that time I created I accidentally created a Git branch named 'origin/master'.
re: #2, Lots of specialists also means lots of handoffs to get anyone thing done. Everything slows down. Out of frustration, people start asking for "a generalist role, someone who can digest product ideas and do all of the technical work". At which point we've reinvented the Software Engineer role.
Me using an LLM: OMG it generated an entire website in under tow minutes!!?!?!?
Also:
Me using an LLM: Did I really just have a 10 min debate on the merits of phrasing a question as:
“Do you want to CC <person>?“
versus
“Is it easiest to CC <person>?”
I think both survive! But one of them gets a lot smaller. There are still QA teams, but they got a waaaaay smaller once the industry started automating much of that work.
