Biden: "Jesse kept hope alive for us, and we've gotta continue to do it in our lifetime for our children. Because there's nothing beyond our capacity when we work together. So stand up! And finish this job."

Claude Crude Max: nearly unlimited oil to power your ideas

Honestly the key to making good predictions isn’t being especially smart but understanding that there isn’t some kind of invisible fencing around outcomes that prevents them from departing from the familiar. A car accelerating at a cliff edge will go over the edge if it doesn’t stop or turn

LLMs are non-deterministic and human programmers are famously deterministic, of course

wild prediction: big tech to keep idle software engineers on roster so they don't vibe code away their moats

I am guessing this was a paywall survey. I, too, would click randomly to get to my destination.

oh wow, mask off moment. so you admit the entire goal of yimby is gentrification and displacement!

The top of that pyramid makes me unbearably anxious.

As a cis male, I have the luxury of only getting splained like this by antis. I'm so sorry.

A swe I worked with constantly got:
- "Oh, the sales team is on the 5th floor"
- "Jenny, can you take notes?"

I am not and have never been a SWE but this does remind me of the time in training when someone in leadership who will remain nameless told me that it sounded like I wanted to learn to code

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.

And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

some iran war related thing. where he has no competence and can say embarrassing things
