this is why it's so critical (IMO) to find ways to tune the models to produce more out-of-distribution outputs. it's incredibly easy to generate "in-distribution" text and the majo…

i'm betting on the "personal pan pizza team" -> won't be long until we have a 1-person $1B company

you can also chuck a json blob into LocalStorage

we've been using this Temporal polyfill and it's been awesome so far: https://github.com/js-temporal/temporal-polyfill

i'm curious to see whether this creates a large secondary market for EoL'd devices!

We diff construction schedules! These tend to be massive Gantt charts (400-700 pages is common).

We have a shared iCloud photo album which works pretty well, and a group chat in iMessage

the Zebra disposable fountain pens are EXCELLENT for how cheap they are, it's honestly a shame they're not refillable

Bozeman tech scene is popping off recently!

What I've noticed from my extensive use over the past couple weeks has been Claude Code really sucks at thinking things through enough to understand the second and third order cons…

ChordChord ( https://chordchord.com ) is close to this idea: it has an "AI suggestions" panel that recommends chords based on a progression

I feel like Kowloon is a decent metaphor for software design at most typical large SaaS companies: small changes accreted over time that lead to an impenetrable, wandering structur…

A great book on this topic is Sweating Bullets by Robert Gaskins, the inventor of PowerPoint. It's amazing how little the core of that program has changed since it was first introd…

TCR also recently introduced a one-time $15 A2P Campaign use case registration fee for vetting the messaging campaign details.
