Not always planned obsolescence. Good ol' "only the cheapest survive" plays a role, too.

You're wiring up a number of critical systems... and prompt injection here could be really bad. I worry about such systems with a single point of contact

Just going to say it... no mention of handling the security aspects of this. Scary. This is cool, I should say, but I would be really worried about the security aspects. Prompt inj…

Really liked this. Made me laugh even if not intentionally funny. Also, given how markets and news cycles are moved with words not actions these days, I really like this site. Ther…

Anyone use fly.io sprites for this yet?

Uh... i think Graphite (yay, stacking!) uses the API pretty heavily.

My wife is my favorite editor. She's usually not available. LLM editor is fine. Write it first, quick self edit, then have an LLM edit. Then I edit again. It's most definitely my v…

Certainly possible, but this is all possible and ABSOLUTELY worth having alignment discussions. Right. Now.

Are we going to end up with an army of Deckards hunting rogue agents down?

You may indeed have a licensing issue... but how is that going to be enforced? Given the shear amount of AI generated code coming down the pipes, how?

Regardless of the technical details of the weighting issue, this is an alignment problem we need to address. Otherwise, paperclip machine.

I'm going to channel a little bit of @patio11 . First, worth reading this on how he deals with credit agencies and debt collectors: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2017/09/09/identity-th…

Wired was such a great magazine to read as a teen in the 90s. I remember just itching for the next issue.

Snowballing. Sometimes it's ok to pick something easy, especially for a team, to get a small win first. If you're in debt, pay off the smallest amount first. Get the easy win. Buil…

If someone in the coming years ran on taking down regulatory capture and returning that as social safety net funding, public goods, and lower taxes, and had the chops to actually d…

"Evidence-based" stats tracking is the only somewhat scientific method i know of that can give you a good range of estimates. But it takes effort. Thus why many don't do it. But ac…

I preffered: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/10/26/evidence-based-sch... 20-25 years later, this is still where we are at :)

AT&T was able offload a bunch of debt on to them, and cash out at about what they paid in 2016. Not shabby.

It’s still “new tech” to our monkey brains and it takes a long time, and probably a lot of destruction, before our we develop better cultural norms for dealing with it. Our cultura…

sooooo agreed. Just like George Lucas needed the original cast of Star Wars telling him no.

Java no barter

The ectoplasm name makes me want to make a "Don't cross the fs.createWriteStream()s" joke.

But I did like how it started with Watson joining him to get a hit of adrenaline and not deal with his soldiering past. Was a great scene. Also, re: Dr. Who, Moffat gonna Moffat

A friend of mine does this as English as second language and his tone was always misconstrued. I'd bug him about his slop, but he'll take that over getting his tone misconstrued. I…

It's still an editor I can turn to in a pinch when my favorite humans aren't around. It makes better analogies sometimes. I like going back and forth with it, and if it doesn't sou…
