I still remember a time where finding information on Wikipedia was mostly disqualifying, even if you read the sources! I guess a lot of new tech works this way until people build trust with it.

Life-changing Claude code snippet, THIS is what Turborepo’s caching is for!

Tough call cause if I were gonna eat margins anywhere it’d be on the box. Microsoft are currently throwing away the bag and you could have console-level penetration if you can somehow sell the thing for $400. Box could always be the loss leader to draw people into the frame.

I noticed in this excerpt that the language is also much simpler and aimed at a general, non-technical audience :^)

anth thinking they’re important enough to attract govt attention when all these orders are obviously aimed at google and openai

for example in the EA community people have been using automated submissions to enquiries to lobby for animal welfare and AI safety. if the tools diffuse enough (and by extension, the tools to read and summarise thousands of submissions), it could actually be good!

like perhaps the immediate effect is bad, but planning submissions already overwhelmingly favour nimbys and feel like a strange tool of power that the government grants to interest groups anyway.

actually how cool would it be if this is how we get direct democracy

Gonna make the most unhelpful thing ever, an auto blocklist for pro-AI sentiment

I’m sure a chunk of this is also subtle racist types going off the name only and being too proud to say they’ve not heard of him

`five``plus``”);process.exit(0)` type shi

ooo are you using github.com/dy/subscript or something else?

in a genuinely unpredictable turn of events—arguably not even one forseen or intended by the DMA’s architects—the DMA turns out to have been an extremely prescient piece of legislation

If you can’t beat Sridhar, join him

realistically it’s over for samizdat. but authentically verified content from central accounts can still happen. it’ll be interesting what that one way effect creates

you could still create an app for your high res macbook that follows your phone’s gyro and displays an image of whatever you wanted

On other sites if you want to reliably prevent a user or group of users from causing harm, you have to make demands of the centralised mod team. Here, blocklists or separate PDSs are that solution (and a better one!) but people are still in the old mindset I think.

someone should organise a grant for him to quit his job and go indie again. i miss him

Don’t forget where the money comes from :)

i think in particular most people, including very smart people, project reasoning about certainty of evidence (i.e. in the weird quasi-bayesian way we all implicitly do).

the people who go nuts seem to project emotions onto them (love, but also sycophancy-coded emotions like awe and excitement)

i mean yeah, *Cory Doctorow* invented the word.

probably the reason why a millennial invented it is because they’re the only generation both young and old enough to have used computers after the internet and before ads

i feel like i have a pretty good mental model of what they are, in a way that feels more like a machine than a person. for example, i don’t really project emotions onto them.

do you have some good intuition-breakers here that reveal that they feel human to you?

yeah, at the very least it’s a bellwether for how the times have changed

probably not a novel observation, but interesting policy on which rationalist-adjacent bloggers they decide it’s acceptable to name vs which they’re happy to protect

either this is really good or you just elucidated a bunch of things I felt in very clear ways (likely both!)

also—hope the Apple containerisation framework for macOS is actually a trojan horse to sneak coding onto iPadOS. now that we have background tasks it’s pretty much the last thing holding this platform back. but I worry Apple won’t wanna let users code on iPadOS unless they can deliver Xcode first

ipados 26 made me rediscover the UI density features. I tried ‘more space’ before, but I didn’t exactly have a use for multiple windows. now it feels a bit more like I do? it’s giving laptop more than ever

part of me thinks *some* in government would probably like a large global crisis and depopulation event, so don’t care much for the outcome

genuinely wild that the guy who popularised schelling fences repeatedly fails to recognise them when he runs headfirst into them
