Best I can do is point out that much of American economic history for the past 300 years has been stumbling from crisis to crisis, and somehow we muddle through. A good book to und…

I don't understand what he means by "brute force your embedding". Does this mean "don't calculate your embedding ahead of time, just generate them as you need them?

I usually read handwriting from previous eras and marvel at how good everyone's handwriting was in the past. I feel encouraged that Alan Turing had handwriting almost as bad as min…

Nevermind, it eventually loaded

Would love to use if you can get it back up! Sounds like an awesome idea for a way to converse with the Bible

Hot take: I'm reading programming books more now. There is so much to know about any technological topic and an LLM can tell you all of it, but it's overwhelming. What a book does …

You have my attention. I assume this would also work well on a worse laptop (since the processing is done in the cloud)?

I'm surprised with how quickly I stopped anthropomorphizing AI. I can remember in college have dorm room pseudo-intellectual debates about AI being alive and AI being "conscience".…

I've been looking for 4 months and only had one phone screen from HR. Cybersecurity in Raleigh, my last employer was MAG 7. My particular problem is I took off 6 years to be a stay…

The nice thing is that with LLMs using markdown we are getting a nice ecosystem for a universal method for communicating textual information. The negative is that Markdown is start…

I'll take the other side of this argument: I like the AI art. Easy way to make it more visually engaging

Maybe the lesson here is we shouldn't rely on the guys selling picks and shovels when determining if we should be buying picks and shovels.

I tried using it for a specific web search task. I wrote a skill, got it all set up and deployed. It worked. But also, would have worked just as well as a cron job with some LLM lo…

I agree with this take. Nothing changes, everything just evolves. Been happening for 60 years, will (likely) continue to happen for the next 60 years.

CLI because if you have to ask, the answer is almost always the more simple one

This is probably my favorite gain from AI assisted coding: the bar for "who cares about this app" has dropped to a minimum of 1 to make sense. I recently built an app for grocery s…

Similar to how the roads Rome built to control their empire were used by Barbarian invaders. History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme.

I'd like to explore this idea, did you make a blog post about it? is it simple enough to post in the reply?

My hot take is that as that percentage increases, salaries will go up asymptotically, until you get to 100%, then they crash to 0. If 80% of your job can be done by AI, I'm going t…

If you load it in Chrome, it loads MUCH faster

Or said another way: "Gold returned to the price it was a Tuesday". The world is too multi-variant to conclude this conversation caused the price of gold to collapse.

Serious question: do you think people in Iran would prefer the status quo, or Return of the Shah (son)? My gut says Shah, but I don't know anyone from Iran, so that's just a guess.…

I'm on Epic's side on this one. Having things for sale in a game is different from "manipulating children" into buying things in a game.

I appreciate the validation that he doesn't customize it much. I see a lot of people creating really complex agents/workflows that I tried to replicate and always came across to me…
