That's... not how I learned it.

I'm just impressed that a cabinet member is answering questions in a straightforward and literally correct manner.

Average gas price is $4.022 nationwide and diesel is $5.511.

Drove 45 minutes to a job fair where every single booth just said "here's a QR code, you can search for jobs there."

Thanks, I know what the Internet is.

All I know is that on the $20 tier, it's eating tokens like the goddamn Cookie Monster compared to 4.6. Still a skill issue on my part, since I can always structure my project and prompts better, but I didn't have to be that cautious on 4.6.

Nice

Looks like you just fry your brain on youtube videos daily. No sense talking to you.

I love the Udvar-Hazy museum.

The Enola Gay made an even bigger impression on me than the shuttle did.

All Bugs are Bastards

That's because they're not talking about Google AI summaries or ChatGPT putting anybody out of a job. You're talking about a different technology than, say, Claude Code.

I assure you that you have not seen GenAI in action in the past year if you still think this way.

It's not 2024 anymore.

Anyone know what happened to @nathantankus.bsky.social? He kinda stopped posting both here and on his site.

For brushing teeth, or...?

Now I have Kodachrome (Paul Simon) stuck in my head.

I can't afford any pro plans, so I just bounce between Codex and Claude at the $20 tiers. When one runs out of tokens I switch to the other. I don't really have any loyalty.

I guess. I wasn't a developer. I was a researcher, and this was for a data science use case. So the timelines might be a little different than for software engineering.

That was almost 1 year ago to the day.

Then, o1 was released and it... just did what the entire specialized program did in one go, albeit with some issues. A few months later, when o3 was released, those issues disappeared. We had to update our report to include comparisons against off-the-shelf models, which was never in the plan.

This is where I have to disagree a little. There was definitely evidence a year ago that it worked.

At my last job, I was doing T&E on some software that was basically a proto-harness for an LLM, with a lot of old-school coding and tooling around it. The LLMs just powered small translation agents

Back in middle school, I'd get a "cheese steak sub" where the "steak" was the shape and consistency of a wet wipe, and about the color in that photo. So it might be similar.

Opus 4.69 (nice)

The charitable interpretation would be that they wouldn't expect you to encourage dishonesty (i.e., making them "scramble more" about something that was false), so they thought you must have misunderstood the cause.

The church really needs to start excommunicating schismatics again.

I've never taken off on my birthday. In fact, I don't celebrate it at all.

I'm exactly one day older on that day, just like every other day.

Unfortunately, we kind of are in software engineering. In fact, Claude Code as the spinning jenny of software engineering is a pretty appt description.

Also, good luck finding someone to hire you as a plumbing apprentice with a Ph.D. They just assume you'll leave as soon as you get a job offer from somewhere else.

This smells like a potential video

I did some research to try and figure out when my death date would be if there had been no treatment for my cancer. I don't know why I assumed it would be some date in the future, but, in fact, I passed the middle of the "no treatment survival" bell curve more than a year ago. Thanks chemo.

In this case, they're talking about detonating a nuke in space as an anti-satellite attack.

Another version not discussed would be detonating a nuke to cause an EMP.

I mean, it would be trivial for them to accomplish. Which part do you doubt?
