don't worry, we can get another swarm of random monkeys typing and decide what ones to eliminate .

tijebs gi yo,

Please use AI (or anything) to fix your site.

For thinking machines, they provide super simple finetuning APIs.

if it is their model, they can have more lower level integrations for that. Thinking machines might be the only large lab in the US to have business interest aligned with open sourcing strong models that are customizable.

I wasn't around for the Search engine boom. Did people write about how search engines are making people dumber?

This is true of truly skillful people in their craft as well.

I know people, who initialize all required variables and write the logic after. which used to feel bonkers to me until I realized, they've done enough practice and memorization to be able to figure what they would need 10 steps down the line.

this does show that, models have a better model of the task and the expected end state.

I like the narrative but the key point

A battle of two narratives Build wealth before AI obviates our skills Build skills, agency, taste, judgement

both narratives are portrayed as being odds with each other but, I can't come up with a single "build wealth" scenario that doesn't involve building skills, agency, taste and judgement.

what am I missing ?

What about human written software makes it more reliable than LLM written software?

is it the craftsmanship, or the deliberate decision making of industry veterans?

almost all platforms are like this now. Every active player in each of these platform is trying to get the most eyeballs in their content / profile. and the silent scrollers are not contributing anything else anyway.

We've societally come to the consensus that, we want to reward a race to the bottom slop. passive scrollers by not doing anything about it, active posters by contributing to it.

but there is no way else to win in this game.

A friend of mine writes the most human curated thoughtful newsletter about AI, spending 100 hours. and maybe 200 people know of its existence.

this is awesome! incredibly useful

Is this a submarine article[1] by instacart to sell their consumers data? feels like a glowing review of the data. And why would papa jhons accept to be a part of this campaign?

Why can't this be sent as a notification in my phone?

As horrible as it sounds.

For the median user, It really is impossible to have an alternative to instagram / whatsapp / facebook. It is so easy to live in a bubble and say I'll host my own things. but a totally different thing to have a functioning network effects machine.

i don't at all think it's that obvious / easy.

i was taught cursive in 2nd grade. and my handwriting is gobsmackingly horrible. coming back to stuff I've written after I've forgotten the context, makes it impossible for me to understand what I've written.

and it's not for lack of trying. I spent almost every summer till 10th grade, practicing writing 30 pages a day. and still it gets reset to my horrible hand writing in weeks after school start. at this point, i just consider myself hand writing challenged.

i cannot tell you how much happy i am that, computers have made handwritten exams obsolete.

this is just false.

by any meaningful measure of intelligence. the latest models are much smarter than the bulk of the population.

how would you define intelligence?

I'm a first time father of an 80 day old.

And I can gladly say, these have been the most incredible days of my life. I want to be more ambitious and more active for my kid, in ways I hadn't thought before.

Happy Father's day to all.

and nobody is willing to pay for it.

Anything that feels like it came out of matrix multiplication immediately loses the value for me.

Something about the industrialization of thinking makes it uninteresting. similar to frozen pasta from the shelves, heated and served.

This is missing the point, simon is a fantastic developer. but to keep track of all the nuances of the frontend frameworks and browser implementation is a lot even for great people.

it is really awesome that the final change was only a two line css change.

Even on my local, that level of snapshotting adds unneded complexity that has very little value.

This was my problem with JJ as well. I don't want everything in between to be versioned. I'm not even sure, every intermediary state between a commit is relevant or useful.

but feels like, I'm in the minority.

a lot of things are just "decided" really.

it's just in this case it's the author. we'll have to wait and see who decides to challenge it

this is kinda missing the point. yes, the raw http calls __should__ be enough for 300ms.

but the benchmark is similar software like JIRA, which takes agonizingly long to do anything reasonable.

I hate middle management as much as the next guy.

but in this case, specifically. who are these career people thinking about orgs and their movement in years?

especially in a job economy where employees are expected to be laid off despite "staggering profits". It feels completely orthogonal to the environment I exist in.

is there room for lifers in big orgs? without getting the boot or worrying about the boot?
