    Vodka Red Bull always seemed crazy to me. Caffeine lasts like 6 hours so I drink one at 2 am, what the hell am I doing! Granted people do cocaine so maybe it’s inconsequential. Dri…

    Can you imagine being a top guy at Palantir in "AI Strategy" and this is your big move? Shows zero creativity, quality of work, just slop. I would quit if I had to work for this gu…

    I'm sorry but my first thought after reading: "You should be writing essays, recording tutorials, training, music, conversations, etc. the kind of things you care about... If they …

    So generalist vs specialist? Or synthesizing across many domains rather than hyper-fixating on a single domain?

    There was a recent post on here with a Claude Code issue I and others responses to. Specifically, the person from Anthropic who caused the issue replied on HackerNews. In it, he cl…

    To your penultimate part, I remember when I was younger, I always wanted to be a software engineer. Those obsessive, dissociative traits I cultivated because they seemed so welcome…

    Hey, mistakes happen. As we saw with the recent AWS billing issue. But Anthropic is a leading company that makes cutting-edge AI which will kill people. It’s literally a matter of …
