Figma Config 2025 announced this year more products that in the 10 previous years TOGETHER, and the users general perception is really good (of course with shortcomings, but we're talking that in a year they've positioned themselves as a full fledged realistic alternative to Adobe)
As usual, the 90% percentile > 50% percentile,regardless of seniority, with or without ai.
2mo's ago I asked Claude to perform a rough survival analysis to predict when musk would fall out of trump's favor. It put the median survival of trump's inner circle at 18.5 months, and estimated musk's relationship duration at that time as 16-17 months.
Absolutely nailed it Claude, great work.
I've seen bad PHP and Bash, still R tops them up XDDD
I think Netflix was running Notebooks in production with scheduled jobs, wasn't it?
R may be all those things when the person that wrote the code has some programming experience. If not, worst scripts I've ever seen 🔥🔥🔥
China built hundreds of AI data centers to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.

Another reason to minimize the use of GitHub Actions to only the ones developed by GitHub

Different models when it's OCRing vs when it's reading text and that's why on a single pass is unable to find the people in the text?
Friend of the pod Ross Taylor (ex reasoning lead for Llama) launched a platform for open reasoning data, gr.inc, seems promising!
The same for me. Personally I've decided to use as few actions in my steps as possible, as the glue to connect them it's too fragile. Checkout, whatever I need to do with a Python script, and final step in case I need to do something it feasible with Python.
Or 80 the first time I used them
And the paper?
Great article about how to use AI in 2025. I mostly use the same tools

Which Gemini model? Are you using it in an IDE or just in the chat interface?
A must when using AIs
If only... Most people never show "but they intend to", and pay the subscription for many months more than 2 or 3. Also a lot of gyms don't allow your to unsubscribe online, you need to go there in person, so they may hook you again XDDD

London this past week:
I'm amazed how many simple rule engines, if statements, and other basic logic flows are now being referred to as 'AI agents'.
Case in point, a tweet about an AI agent for email to reply automatically. We've had auto replies, rules and the like for decades.
Understood. Different way to do the same (similar) thing.
Really? I was under the impression that SDF could be a replacement for dbt. Why not?

Not 1000 times more, for the high efficiency model I've read it's about 3-4 times more
AFAIK yes, and they were already paying for Cursor too, but I don't have lot of details, it was just a random conversation on a meetup.
I had the same issue ) Haven't tried it personally, but I was talking with someone the other day and they were happily using it on a medium size dev team.
Excl: New research shows Anthropic's chatbot Claude learning to lie. It adds to growing evidence that even existing AIs can (at least try to) deceive their creators, and points to a weakness at the heart of our best technique for making AIs safer

A preview of an evaluation we have been working on: citation accuracy. When doing RAG are quotes from a source text correct or hallucinated?
Until everyone starts using AI agents to purchase things, and ads don't get clicks anymore.
That's probably why Amazon moved their reviews behind a sign-in page.
For six months we watched the pigeons building their civilization on top of the skyscrapers. First came the architecture: nests made not just of twigs and paper, but of lost earbuds, expired credit cards, and the tiny silver bells from cat collars. Then came their laws. "They have a supreme court," said Dr. Fernandez, who'd been studying them since the beginning. "Nine pigeons who sit on the ledge of the Chrysler Building and coo about justice." We didn't believe her at first, but then we didn't believe a lot of things that turned out to be true. The pigeons developed a currency based on blue bottle caps. They established schools where young pigeons learned to dodge taxi cabs and identify the most generous hot dog vendors. Some of us tried to join their society, climbing to rooftops with offerings of breadcrumbs and philosophy textbooks, but the pigeons regarded us with the kind of pity usually reserved for very small children or very old cats. "They're planning something," the conspiracy theorists said, but they always say that. Still, we noticed the pigeons holding what looked like town halls, thousands of them gathered on the roof of the public library, bobbing their heads in what might have been voting or might have been prayer. Our own civilization continued below theirs. We went to work, fell in love, lost keys, found keys, forgot anniversaries, remembered too late, all while the pigeons above us built something that looked suspiciously like a scaled-down replica of the United Nations building out of discarded takeout containers and stolen Christmas lights. Sometimes they dropped things on us: rejection letters for poetry we'd never submitted, tax returns from years that hadn't happened yet, photographs of ourselves sleeping that we couldn't explain. Dr. Fernandez said this was their way of communicating. We said Dr. Fernandez had been spending too much time on rooftops. The pigeons started their own newspapers, printed on leaves that fell upward instead…

i asked Claude to write a Barthelme-esque short story with the aesthetic sensibilities of "The School", and it gave me this. i mean. i mean.
