Two things can be simultaneously true: 1. Generative AI will be transformative in the medium to long term. 2. The Gen AI market is a bubble. The dotcom bubble was based around a real, very important technology.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

I reviewed Dell's latest XPS 13 laptop with Intel Lunar Lake processor — likely the last one before it's renamed "Dell Premium." Come for the lowest score I've ever given anything, but stay for my ranting about this terrible keyboard and infuriating function row. www.theverge.com/reviews/6111...

"A few members of the geriatric legislature body offered scattered social media posts condemning the move, but parliament —where both houses are controlled by so-called “MAGA” members [loyal] to the president — went home early for the weekend even as Musk’s forces spread through the capital streets"

My biggest issue with Route 53 is that a “hosted zone” is a small text file in BIND, yet they charge 50¢ a month for each of them. It’s not just a database because it’s a key-value store, it’s also a database because they charge like freaking Oracle.

I don't understand some of the criticism of LLMs. Was it the same when the Wright brothers invented the airplane? "This is not really flying!" "This is a cheap imitation of real flight!" "This takes so much more energy to fly compared to birds .. this is definitely the wrong approach to flying!"

Trump is smart. Why make a Bitcoin fed reserve when he can make a $TRUMP fed reserve. There's no intrinsic difference between the two other than who is holding the coins now.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I have been trying Google's Gemini 2.0 flash thinking model and I like it compared to OpenAI o1. The problem with o1 is that it's too opinionated. It just does stuff without discussing options and approaches. It also struggles to make targeted changes to previous responses.

Cool list! Of these, I've switched to ghostty, have had a jj tutorial tab open for ages, and didn't like Zed (trying Cursor instead). I should also give fish a shot.
