Leaked video from Palantir and Tesla presenting their product roadmap to ICE.

She does have a point.
What if I told you there was a better way? In this post I talk about using monte carlo simulation and histogram charts to help not only in modeling the projections themselves, but to also help communicate the uncertainty in the model.

Raise your hand if you've ever been asked by leadership or stakeholders for an estimate (a project completion date, a cost projection, etc) ... and despite all attempts to communicate the inherent uncertainty, the number or date is now cast in concrete as what everyone assumes _will_ happen π«

Working on a fun new project ... anyone out there doing parametric #CAD with #JSCAD?
I'm writing a vscode plugin that lets you stay right in editor to visualize/export your work. I've got some ideas for some cool features, but I'd love to get some feedback from real folks working in this space :)
1/2) I've seen several posts dunking on data centres in space proposals, often by citing things like the cooling issue, radiation, power, etc.
Those are all valid concerns. But, Bluesky folks, the people making these proposals are not as dumb as you are assuming.

Can our billionaires in America develop a sudden interest in architecture and start building some grand things in our cities? We may as well get cool buildings and environments in exchange for our dystopia
I didnβt have any sunglasses, so I worked with what I had

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock itβ¦ youβre still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope youβll do.

I think something democracy has never faced before is a populace with years and years of algorithmically supercharged perceptions of βthe other sideβ
Thereβs a show that covers this topic pretty handily

To be honest though ... ChatGPT's sycophancy is helping democratize access to that multi-layered-bubble of agreeable yes-men π
Ever worked with a "Cowboy Coder"? Or perhaps, you yourself are that gun-slingin' cowpoke! What works in a smaller team or startup, can eventually become a liability as a team grows if not managed correctly.

A recent tweet by my friend got me thinking about the many winding paths Iβve been down over the course of my career β¦ starting up a new series on my blog to write about it :)

A screenshot from Spotify showing Tribute by Tenacious D and What It Sounds Like from KPop Demon Hunters next to each other ... the implication being that they have the same vibe.
Yep. Almost all of history from global warming, mass migration, 9/11 and the rise of Russia is downstream of not aggressively pursuing nuclear power. When you look at the body count of misinformation, misinformation about nuclear power ranks near the top.
As someone who watched the clone wars cartoons with my kids, Iβm admittedly amused to see the term clanker re-enter the pop culture lexicon (from an etymological perspective)β¦ but some folks are a little too excited at being able to use βClanker with a hard Rβ
Does your team "move fast and break things"? Or do you slow down and find/fix the root cause every time? As always, the right answer is the classic "it depends", and each approach comes with its own pros and cons.

As coding agents get more capable, it seems like theyβre using more and more compute to handle longer and more complex tasks. Devs will increasingly have to start rationing where they do their AI thinking to avoid burning through their credits.

Finally got this working ... this had been on my personal backlog for quite some time, and so now I can embed timelines in my blog posts π
