Interestingly, I have personally felt this way about projects in which I was involved in the past(written both by me and by others)… sometimes starting from scratch just faster and…

Impressive work for someone of any age! - any project that involves hardware or physical objects (especially ones you are manufacturing!) is impressive - the craftsmanship - refere…

Skimmed quickly and seems like a nice system. I would have liked a comparison to something like Kanban which tries to aggregate to a (seemingly?) similar metric but is a more promi…

Very cool work! Nice job. Road-map looks good too! I always appreciate client/local-first emphasis. I have been seeing a lot of great in-browser apps coming out via 3js,wasm,etc (T…

It is _emerging_ in the sense that complex (sic non-linear) systems can exhibit unintended or unexpected behaviors. It is _intelligent_ in the sense that it optimizes a thing that …

I recall some moves where SO announced they would be revising ToS to disclose their intent to repackage and use the site’s content for sale and/or model training. Contributors resp…

Wow, a blast from the past to be sure. Was not but any means avid, but did own a tipman. And was always dazzled when someone showed up with an angel.

Ngl I had to stop reading part way through. I’m no AI spokesperson, but the opinion expressed here is.. > “insultingly naive”, “overly simplistic”, “immature and self absorbed” ..e…

That is fair, I HAVE INDEED seen similar of those anecdotes. However, I still am skeptical of the file analogy. LLMs are good at traversing traditional file systems because file/tr…

It’s interesting to me how many people articulate things like the “Preiminary Truths” section as if they are novel insights. Effective people managers (of whom I would not specific…

A good tool is invisible such that it is highly opinionated and nails the 80, 90, 99% use cases in terms of making assumptions regarding logical defaults. Restated, the tool unders…

Nice to hear Google is thinking about this. Was always of the belief that they SHOULD be considering things like scarcity in the various recommendations the apps in their offerings…

Personally, for any kind of serious reading, I have to go to a place/room with zero opportunities for distraction. No noise, no surrounding commotion, even slightly dimming lights …

In my experience, boilerplate sql isn’t even something I would consider a big pain point. The biggest challenge (to me) is explicit data contract enforcement across the stack. I ha…

As someone who has historically spent a lot of my time with C#, and now spend most of my days writing python… LINQ is typically what I miss most from C#… (obviously aside from stat…

We understand more than you’ll never know.

Most upscaling and super-resolution techniques I’ve seen use various implementations of interpolation; typically nearest-neighbor approaches. Although I don’t work in the medical f…

Sturgeon’s Law abounds. I’ve always found that most books within or similar to Ferris’ genre hold a nice message but are 90 fluff. He picks on summarization as the sort circuit and…

Could it be possible that Zuck has a Llama-shaped magic 8-ball to which he has fully committed himself to “dogfooding” an AI-only strategy to his responsibilities in the company? “…

Very cool! Analog mono has a very “Christmas sweater” vibe.

I can also relate here, seeking a product review on Sony wh1000x_, Google wrote a nice seeming summary, but scrolling down to some Reddit discussions, stumbled upon a single commen…

I agree with the sentiment, but native ads i.e. blogs, reviews, articles, etc. that do their best to hide that they’re a sponsored product review have been around for a long time. …

So many questions: Is “the goal of Search” really: “to help you ask _anything_ on your mind”? If “reimagined Search” is “designed to anticipate your intent”, Would it correctly inf…

I have been saying this and viscerally reacting to this “contrastive language” for months. it… “hits different”… “Load-bearing” is a new one for me though, yuck.
