[watching spirited away for the first time] wow it's just like that image filter

Us developers have learned the hard way that: 1. Prototyping is more like 10% of the actual work - even though the business folks thinks we're 90% done 2. Shipping prototypes to production is possible but generally a bad idea Vibe coding is prototyping. Others will learn - soon

All Orbital tracks sound like the music from an Amiga game that boasts "ray-traced graphics".

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

I think exponential growth is probably one of the biggest myths that people in technology believe. Most of the time the case is of an "S" curve (see image), which is just a very slow "switch", from off to on. Essentially a describing tech adoption and refining. LLMs will not be different.

“Governments could decrease their spending on Big Tech firms (...) but in many cases Europe doesn’t have its own alternatives to turn to” But it could. With Bluesky’s AT Protocol, the EU could build its own platforms. www.politico.eu/article/belg...

if you want to bring back the prosperity* and security of mid-century american life then you need high rates of unionization, a generous social insurance state, and widespread, freely available education. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
