Token quantity will have a quality all its own.

I have some internal tests I use for areas where one particular solution/paradigm is dominant but worse. Opus 4.6 is the last model that's actually useful and can "adjust" its pers…

I have a buddy who did his Human Factors PHd at wright state/wright patt nearly 15 years ago. "Tech people" have a lot of lies they believe, about disabilities, about valid address…

Anything digital basically has the chaos fuzzed out by its binary nature. The analog gets all the real entropy. Humans are cool because our distribution is exploring the future cur…

Brasil has tried building a highway to Manaus like twice and each time the interior has eaten it. That's with relatively modern tools.

I once saw a professional software engineer try to refactor the spaghetti code in a complex bioinfomactics project written in python. It was a complete failure. That branch was aba…

Thank you for all your work on CRDTs, I think dt is still the coolest leap I've seen in software and frankly in thinking about the universe.

Tell that to the nation states that are actively trying to find every exploit they can to pull it down.

I think the problem with simulations like this is that it doesn't include the chaos of innatentive humans. Forcing functions that dump people into well defined funnels can have suc…

It's also built on the back of downloading all the content of the top ten sites on the list, the fact that all the independent content sites with their "pre-war" steel haven't been…

1. Tomatoes off a vine crush anything in a u.s. supermarket. 2. I eat unwashed basil leaves and other greens growing outside, I eat them by first putting them under my tongue, my s…

These are all season 1/season 2 numbers.

This "theft" is not a new argument, and its always been run by people who have a vested interest in killing open-source or who aren't part of it. In 2001 I had a guy at Oracle tell…

It's like they don't understand their own business proposition around bingeable content. I mean renting scrubs DVDs made them a ton of money. There is a reason "You cannot account …

Crazy to see how many people miss 26:15.

They optimized for what they measured. They measured the wrong thing because it was easier for them. Some of the most important things can't be measured. The future can't actually …

I love ellipses, it really captures that even when writing Rust documentation my mood is existential and disaffected... like a new grad in the pool, slowly burning under the noon s…

Plain text is way harder than people think. Partly because the reflow rules change depending if you are making edits in front of or behind the cursor/point of action. On anything s…

You see this very often, these kinds of things keep escalating and with the destruction of the rule of law and the need to suck up to an executive a country basically becomes a bla…

The U.S. "executive" class is so obsessed with the "exploit" part of the explore/exploit cycle that it's very clear they are prematurely closing advancement. Better a little money …

I think thats deeply uncharitable and fundementally superficial. I think people (many/most) don't want slaves. Our imaginations just outstrip our abilities and we desire them to ma…

I have a UI I developed from first principles about 10 years ago, I use it to replace my os, its like my personal do everything emacs os but not at all emacs, and its funny to see …

Chiltepin started growing in our yard thanks to some bird. They are amazing, high heat small dose, I'll just crunch one or two in the morning, the only downside is my spice toleran…

The real hack is that the events aren't the community, they serve the community, the process of working together to put these types of events on is what builds deep connection. Peo…
