    Agreed, but I think people can imagine and companies are very motivated: powertools, phones, laptops, watches, backup UPS, cars, hospital equipment... there's high demand for durab…

    Have we ever as a species successfully changed our behavior on a scale needed to address something like climate change and underwater oxygen loss? What would be the closest “we’ve …

    Yeah I think the podcasts were just a clever hack until AI is fast enough to support realtime. It’s practically there now, so a fake podcast is a funny relic and hard to sit throug…

    I can’t believe how bad Claude’s voice mode is. So much latency and it often tells me “this is rather technical” and would be better talking it out over text. OpenAI has much less …

    I'm very pro tech. Because I'm pro tech, I honestly wish there were more ethical companies in the space. It can be hard to find US tech companies to cheer for. My main business-rel…

    But it's not about whether it was AI or human authored. That misses the point. We're all fatigued on the writing style . The same cadence and patterns; the same phrases and terms l…

    Processing markdown into html is a significant task for many blogs, sites, and apps. Satteri moves that processing into rust for speed gains. Now used in Astro 7: https://astro.bui…

    I value both great devs and great marketers because I’ve seen dev teams build awesome tech that never found its audience. It’s the culture of the org and that decides how the ammo …
