I built a terminal app for myself that conflates worktrees & tabs, runs every pane through a terminal multiplexer, lets me join in from my phone and generally makes me happy. https…

You can find the 4 versions of Benedict's deck here: https://www.ben-evans.com/presentations I appreciate the temporal view into this thinking. My interpretation: Nov 2024: Don’t d…

This has increasingly been my take. If we accept that AI is an amplifier of impact, then it follows it will amplify disparities.

One of my most humbling experiences was entering a puzzle hunt at CMU in the mid 2000s with early undergrad friends. We completely flailed. I still remember watching other groups o…

I hacked this together last fall to let you use Apple Foundation Models with llm: https://github.com/btucker/llm-apple . To enable that I built python bindings with Claude Code: ht…

It's not necessarily an AI-generated infographics issue, it's that these aren't good infographics. The graphic part is adding minimal value.

I am convinced they’ve done research that says they would sell a meaningfully smaller number of units if they added this feature. Sigh…

Anthropic made it an open standard: https://agentskills.io/home

Completely agree. But I wonder how much of that is just accomplished with well placed code comments that explain the why for future agent interactions to prevent them from misunder…

I probably should have written it as “OK Engineer--“

I've been starting to think of it like this: Great Engineer + AI = Great Engineer++ (Where a great engineer isn't just someone who is a great coder, they also are a great communica…

Also, it was a time when being “online” was an active state. Now we’re “online” passively 24/7.

I love Monkeybrains! I had something in the neighborhood of a 600mbps symmetric connection through them in the late 2010s when I lived in SF. The only issue was when it rained hard…

Then why did you post that?

I understand you're trying to "both sides" an argument. What have you found that has achieved for you in the past? Do you change people's opinions with this?

I'm sure PaywallBuster has reviewed these and confirmed they were one-year spending before making their statement.

And then, The Charlie Rose Paradox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqW9sexNdZg

A step in the right direction last week for the largest upzoning effort in the city! https://archive.is/QuOcJ Of course the a vocal minority is fuming about higher density.

Agreed, but I wonder--given investors demands for continued growth--if they're considering going up against NVIDIA.
