I don't know, it feels like the GCC steering committee's AI policy is sorta the definition of moderate speech. They aren't coming out swinging on LLMs shouting it down as slop and …

The first sentence of the first section entitled "The Rate" reads as follows > The rate tracks SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate), the benchmark overnight interest rate pu…

The choice of `medium-light blue`, `yellow`, `medium-dark blue` (!?), `red` for the pain guage is definitely something. I almost missed that there were 4 colors until the second ch…

Told my spouse about this feature when I learned about this a while back too. They have terrible motion sickness to the point that just shooting a quick text was a gamble. Since th…

It is an amazing fumble from Netflix. I thought Reed Hastings actually understood the space pretty well back when he somewhat famously said (paraphrasing) "We have to become HBO fa…

Why couldn't the police, who you pay taxes to, do their jobs? Apparently a sophisticated robbery ring was operating with a well understood MO in a predictable location and the poli…

“State’s rights” the conservative small government supporters shouted for. States attempt to hold a company accountable for giving its citizens cancer. Not like that the conservati…

I hear they have real loose permitting regulations on Mars, and I think Elon was supposed to have a colony up and running about a decade ago, so that should all work out for him.

Yea, but if I can get a ChatGPT-like experience from Siri AI for free, why would I pay OpenAI. Now it remains to be seen if Siri AI will deliver anything close to a ChatGPT-like ex…

There will be a generation of children who will grow up and look back at their childhood photos and wonder if they ever really happened. I also laughed out loud when they are showi…

I like OCaml, I spend most of my day to day though in Elixir and I think one of the things that's so nice about elixir is mix. There's a handful of mix commands you learn when you …

Yea, all the new advice around using dependency cooldowns only works if _someone_ is installing these things before you and finding the vulnerabilities. It seems like the advice ri…

I've spent the last decade in erlang / elixir / OTP. I think a lot of the naming comes from the early use of erlang as effectively an "OS" for telecom switches. I always joke that …

For the last 15 years you could take a picture of a lightbulb and pop it in google search and it would tell you what kind it was. I know because I bought a house in 2013 where the …

I don't use much AI, but we have an AI agent that reviews all of our PRs at work. It's pretty good, I actually like it because it's very thorough and catches real things. On a rece…

Magical editing of pictures is so wild to me. Most photos people take have a longterm have an audience of basically 1. That's why there's jokes about how awful it is when a coworke…

CGP Grey has an older video now about what happened to horses over time. For a while every economic advance seemed to mean more and better jobs for horses. But then the automobile …

I know that articles like this, and the broader dialog, doesn't go too in-depth on how these things work. The phrase, "one agent understand marketing econometrics" from the article…

I find this graphic a good one https://www.visualcapitalist.com/inflation-chart-tracks-pric... Obviously it's partial (or else there would be a billion lines) but it gives a good b…

In the author's own analogy of blacksmithing and metallurgy, I see an interesting parallel. Humans worked metal for a long time and you can make better and better forges without kn…
