Being an effective AI whisperer In a world where your next collaborator might be a language model, soft skills aren't soft anymore. They're the sharpest tool you've got.

Clear communication is perhaps the most important soft skill of all. But with language-based AI now baked into our work, it's becoming a hard skill. ernesto.dev/posts/ai-whi...

We’re building AI like we built airplanes We didn’t conquer the skies by flapping our arms. We did it by understanding flight on its own terms. The same applies to AI: real progress comes not from mimicking human minds, but from designing sys...

Hoping that AI mimics the way humans are intelligent is misguided. Artificial Intelligence is a different kind of intelligence, that probably should not be measured against ours. And it should not behave like ours.

Hello from the audience!

I’ve been using Safari for years and I love it. I keep Chrome and Firefox for development only.

And only recently I switched to Safari-based Orion browser by @kagi.com mostly to use their search engine as default. But it has other bells and whistles. Check it out.

Adding “?” to the end of a query in Kagi gives a GPT summary of the top results. As annoying as AI-hype is, combining lenses and GPT summaries is really powerful. I have a lens for tool documentation and can get fairly accurate answers really quickly. e.g. “!doclens BigQuery materialized views?”

Wow, I did not know about that feature of adding a question mark to get a summary. Thanks for sharing!

If your code has no bugs, you are absolutely full of shit.

If your code has no bugs, you shipped too late.

What is the difference between TS ignore and TS expect error? Sometimes, you'll want to ignore an error that later down the line gets fixed. If you're using @ts-ignore , it'll just ignore the fact that the error is gone. But with @ts-expect-error , you'll actually get a hint that the directive is now safe to remove.

I use @ts-expect-error

What if he cares that immigration should be done legally and orderly, as he did? What if he sympathizes with one candidate for their overall stance, even if he's not fully on board with all their policies. You still need to pick a candidate and put the pros and cons in a balance, right?

Is there a starter pack of people in the bsky dev team?

OTOH, so far, it's mostly tech-twitter and that's it. For instance, to follow my local politics, I absolutely need 𝕏, both to see what the left or right in my country are saying. And this app is so niche that I'm not sure they'll do the same divide as tech-twitter is doing.

Absolutely. I understand why it is happening. I'm just worried that it won't lead to anything good. It is deepening the divide and mistrust in society, at a global level.

What I'm seeing is that these two platforms, 🦋 and 𝕏, are each becoming an eco-chamber of different sides of the political spectrum. What good will it come from that?

Why would they need to offer that? What did Vercel do wrong recently?

You did not miss much. We missed you. Glad you're back.

Or perhaps, alongside part of that, that's the kind of voter that has been disenfranchised before. They're uneducated, so they tend to have blue collar jobs, and may have suffered the most from jobs exported to other countries. Trump's narrative caters to that. Plus they're white and men, so they do not suffer racism or other discrimination issues. Selfish, I know. But you gotta understand it. We people in well-payed and less threatened professional jobs are in some ways privileged. And, arguably, less susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger thing. And keep in mind this is hastily written answer. But my point is, there's more to all this than just the simple analysis of "why did you vote for the convicted felon". Many people probably didn't even know he was convicted. Hell, look at how there was surges of googling on Election Day about who were the candidates.

My answer was too long, so it goes in an image instead (text in the alt).

Again, I feel you. But staying in that state of denial is not good. And treating ALL (or even most) of the voters who thought differently as having Dunning-Kruger is not going to help taking back the votes for next elections.

Trump got 74.2M votes in 2020, yesterday he got 71M (-3 ). Biden got 81.2M votes. Harris 65.9M (-15.3M) There is no revitalization of Trump's leadership. His victory is explained by disillusionment, apathy towards the Democrats and the lack of leadership

When you look at the number of votes, Trump did not get more votes than in 2020. But Kamala did much worse than Biden did in 2020. Look at this info (in Spanish, with the automated translation below). I have not double-checked the numbers, but insightful if true.

And that analysis doesn't even touch on the topic of the initial stubborn attempt to keep Biden as the candidate, and the too-late switch to Kamala, without primaries for the dems to pick a candidate from the start. IMO that has an impact too.

I feel you. But there's also got to be some self-criticism from the dems about how they did things. Just relying on the narrative that the other side is wrong is not enough to recover the vote.

I find this analysis really good on this regard: x.com/cesifoti/sta...

Text explaining the state-by-state vote processing rules. Some states allow to start counting before Election Day, other states allow counting early votes on Election Day before polls close. And other states require all counting to start after polls close. State-by-State Processing Rules Pre-Election Day Processing Twelve states allow both processing and counting to begin before Election Day, including Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Virginia, and Utah1. Election Day Processing Twenty-three states require counting to start on Election Day before polls close, including states like California, Michigan, and Texas. After Polls Close Fourteen states do not permit counting until after polls close on Election Day, including Alabama, Alaska, Illinois, Maine, and Mississippi. Processing Timeline The counting process typically follows this order: - Election Day votes are usually counted first - Early ballots and mail-in votes are counted next - Challenged votes and overseas military ballots are processed last Important Considerations The processing of mail-in and early ballots is more time-consuming than counting in-person votes1. Each ballot must go through several steps: - Envelope inspection - Signature verification - Opening and preparing the ballot - Actual counting

Well, to my surprise, some states start counting early.

Are early votes opened before Election Day? I thought all votes were counted today, regardless.

Does it make a difference? (honest question, I'm not American)
