I've been writing blogs for over 5 years, and I've drawn some conclusions:

- Writing is first and foremost a learning process. I've learned a great deal, such as how to write, present, and persuade, not to mention the immense amount of knowledge I've acquired while researching for my articles.

- Writing is a means of self-expression. It may seem a bit vain, but my point is that by writing, you continually learn and improve each day. This makes you better than you were yesterday, and I believe that looking back on your past achievements will never leave you disappointed.

- Writing is a way to inspire others. Have you ever read an article that completely changed your perspective? That's what I'm talking about. And certainly, you can write to motivate others as well.

- Writing is a way to receive empathy. I think I've "bookmarked" numerous blogs by others who share valuable insights with the community.

- Writing is a way to alleviate stress. I'm not sure if anyone else is like me, but I can spend hours fine-tuning my content, and during those times, I feel truly at ease.

- Lastly, I don't want to stop at just writing blogs. I hope to write a book of my own in the future. Just thinking about it motivates me to work even harder.

General AI on non-objective ("best" is undefined here and for what usecase/priorities?) broadly covered topics like this instance is mostly just a regression to the mean with bias bleed in from other knowledge graphs (eg, trying to use correct grammar/tense (linguistics) in place of endianness(compsci)). As we traverse further into the depths of the dead internet theory, and more AI slop pollutes the internet (and in turn/tandem, poorly curated synthetic datasets), there is some inevitable Ouroboros style reinforcement here too.

So a simple filter in the sense of "omit anything too similar to X" would just omit the mean result within your given deviation. It's effectively asking, "What are some truly insane ways to use PostgreSQL", which is an interesting thought experiment, though if it actually produces useful results then you've basically just written a unit-test (Domain test?) for when AI slop evolves into full on AI jumping the shark.

If you're doing it based on cross-linking (source-citing), you're basically doing Page-Rank for AI.

If you time gate familiarity to posts only up to the NLP/General AI explosion in 2022 or so, well that might still be useful today, but for how long?

If you were to write a "Smart" filter, you're basically just writing the "PostgreSQL Best Practices" article yourself, but writing it for machines instead of humans. And I don't know what to make of that, but frankly I was lead to believe that if nothing else, the robopocalypse would be more interesting than this.
If you find that premise highly questionable produce a cogent explanation for why real wages have been flat as a fucking strap for the last 40 years despite massive gains to GDP. Once you've cleared that hurdle your next task is justifying the current massively skewed (and worsening) income distribution in the US. Clear that bar and all that's left is justifying private equity eating everything from fast food franchises to the healthcare system.

Apologists love to complain that <insert problematic market outcome> isn't the product of a true market but that dog doesn't hunt. We have the economic system we have. We call it capitalism. It produces the above mentioned (and countless other) excerable outcomes. No excuses.
Wild that there is no law against this.

30 years ago, no one in my native place has seen telephone. Now every single person young and old are connected to the internet, conduct banking and other transaction via phone and many many other things.

Many unimaginable things happened in last 30 year from vantage point of my native place. Assuming same level of of transformation for next 30 year it will be still massive progress. Given current tech and AI, the rate of progress for next 30 years will be far greater than last 30. So I am believer in AI and tech in general will make massive progress in next decade
You might want to think about using cursor instead of attempting to use a web interface to create full app. Cursor can do better targeted changes and allows you to tell it individual file to look at for changes or the whole codebase.
I wish games still came with instruction manuals; then you would have something to read while you wait 15 minutes for the base game to install, followed by however long it takes to download and install 60GB worth of day 1 patches and updates.
There’s a popular tendency to overvalue connectivity in the backcountry and undervalue the ability to avoid unnecessary risk and self-rescue. Connectivity can actually cause some people to take risks where they otherwise wouldn’t, thinking a helicopter will drop out of the sky 30 minutes after dialing 911. Many stories about rescues in the White Mountains of NH, for example, begin with a call for help with known coordinates (either by cell or PLB). The trouble comes in rallying resources from Fish & Game, State Police, volunteer groups, etc. then getting into the woods to carry out the rescue. We’re talking many hours for this. Then there’s the issue of actually reaching those coordinates and hoping they are accurate—there’s been teams bounced around multiple points through grueling terrain while they, themselves, are putting their lives at risk.
>Young people and operational security doesn't exist.

If I had PII in the systems they have access to I would be concerned. How long until someone gets spear phished or malware is installed on their presumably non-compliant systems? There's a reason why big corps spend significantly on security training for new grads.

I don't have a clip but it was in the height of the spac pump and dump craze taking place on reddit during the pandemic. The scam was buy up a bunch of warrants then release info that you had knowledge of an upcoming deal.

This particular scammer got lucky on one of his spacs when it actually made a deal and from that he made quite the following.

Chamath used this guy to pump his spacs because if the spac was pumping before there was even a deal it was easier for him to make the deal.

I think all of Chamaths spacs are penny stocks now with multiple reverse splits to stay above $1.

Edit: Except for SOFI the one good deal he made.
Trump says he has directed Treasury to stop minting new pennies
Heck, I was a copy-paste coder way before AI.
I did many projects with web scrapping, that is in the past without AI :)

always felt nice to gather data but rarely could i do something useful with them or some sort of a good product. So today i dont think data is the problem, rather usefulness, PMF and marketing
My favourite project of mine is a little web server to support raw html blogs! It can handle serving via ssl, and adds features like an rss feed, a sitemap and a few go templates to make directory listings easy to maintain. The README is pretty authoritative for documentation.

Whether or not there is a benefit should be a judgement left up to the user.

There's no benefit to saving a file on a floppy disk, but if I tell my computer to copy a file to my floppy drive, I don't expect it to say "No, can't do that. You should be using a USB flash drive--they're better in all ways!"
It depends what you mean by LLM, perfect, etc. You can train up a neural net pretty quickly to do basic addition perfectly. It just needs two inputs for the digits, plus one bit for carryover, and an output 0-19 (if base 10). Your code would do the iteration on digits. So once your NN is trained to map inputs to sums exactly, you've got your algorithm, and it's provably correct.

"That's cheating. You have custom code in the loop.": but that's what an LLM does; it feeds input tokens and feeds back output tokens through the LLM one by one. So.

Now, as far as a realistic LLM, no there's no way to prove that it will always get even 1+1=2 correct. There's always a chance that something in the context will throw it off. Generally LLMs are better at interpreting questions, finding some code that maps to the answer, executing that code, and spitting out the answer. As a case in point, try asking one to solve a sudoku. It will grab some code off github, run it, and give you the answer. Now ask it to solve it by pure reasoning step-by-step. It'll get hopelessly lost, tell you numbers are in the wrong places, tell you that eliminating 7 from {2,7} leaves only {3,8}, etc. (And then finally give you the correct answer, now _that's_ cheating!)

So, if not LLMs, and not handwritten loops, the only other option is single-shot. Can a NN be trained to do math in a single run? And the answer is not really. At least, not efficiently. If you think about it, a single run through a NN only has a limited number of steps. So it's going to be limited in what it can do. If your computation requires more steps than that, all your NN can do is guess.

So no, there's really no perfect "pure" AI for math. AI tools for math are generally a combination of NNs that make guesses, and hand-written code that checks or uses those guesses to generate some feedback and ask for next steps. Which, isn't too different from how humans do it either. Make a guess, try it out, look up references, look for tools, create a tool or modify an existing one, and so on until you get it right.
Will there be 911 calling? The announcement says texting only.
Prices would climb, but not "re-equalize." Let's say everything got 2x more expensive. People currently making very little could still afford much more. People currently making a lot could afford less.

> letting them run riot through the most sensitive areas of the federal government

This is an overstatement. These are not the most sensitive areas of gov't. Surely, that would be anything with national secrets: military planning, CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.
> no internet and all, which means there wont be a market

Please tell me that you know that markets have existed and exist without the internet.

In those markets, gold is and was valued…

> Historically gold was valuable because it was somewhat rare and you could barter with it.

Historically and currently. The existence of the internet doesn’t change that…
It would be interesting to consider where humans would find fulfillment when what they have done every day for years is rendered worthless.
Wonder how they justify the potential gain from capturing x% of ~120M viewers (as of 2024).
5% is 6 million, or a CAC of ~2M/customer

Lol. Once you start learning about Elisp and the Emacs platform, it's so trivial to write up scripts like this. Mostly due to the fact, that every command is also a function, and the whole state of the software is accessible. I have a bunch of ebooks (pdf) in a folder, and on macOS, I created a quick workflow that fuzzy search them (file name) and open the selected one using Alfred.app. I created the same feature for the shell using fzf, and the emacs version (using consult-find) was equally short.
That episode is by far my #1 favorite. Season 8 Episode 2, “You Only Move Twice”, during the period considered by most to be the peak of the Simpsons show quality, and IMO the best episode of the season.

Cypress Creek was intended to be a reference to Silicon Valley and the tech companies there of the time, and it’s got some of the best comedy in the season (Hank Scorpio is the best one-off character ever in the show IMO.)
This is what ChatGPT "thought" about your comment:

```
- Misses the point of the original comment.
- Overly pedantic instead of engaging with the sentiment.
- Unclear analogy (PRC as a continuation of the Shang Dynasty).
- Appears detached from social norms—not recognizing the rhetorical nature of the discussion.
- Ultimately, basementcat's response likely seemed out of place and frustratingly abstract, making it easy to dismiss as nonsensical.
```

But like, for real, thinking that "ROME" still exists now makes zero sense.
I am in agreement with you. The OP is overstated. I have heard Musk interviewed a few times. When asked to explain more about his phase "first principles", he usually talks about (paraphrase) "delete as many things as possible". It is an interesting way to think about project planning. At a bare minimum, he has created several incredibly successful businesses in his lifetime, so he must be doing something right.
Yes. For various other reasons, the trait system needed to be rewritten, and it would also end up fixing this. Since it’s essentially a theoretical issue, spending time on this wouldn’t make sense. In the meantime, that rewrite is nearing completion. The most recent version of rust uses it for coherence checking. The next few months are likely to remove several other stoppers from moving forward. It’s almost time for a crater run, and then fixing whatever issues that shows up.
This is hilarious, and makes me wonder whether there’s some main place where people are archiving examples of AI fails now. It would be amusing, but also seems like a public service and might help to avoid billions of dollars getting burnt at the altar of hype.
You've missed the key stakeholder group - shareholders have to find a Buyer to flip something for a profit, who cares about the longer term prospects of the business.

The buyer is not prefect, but they're better incentivised than anyone else.
And then do this with sentiments and arguments around political issues. Murdoch could only dream of this power. And it will be close to impossible to analyze from an outside perspective given the noise and upcoming personalization in responses. A nudging tool unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

When I google that phrase it’s from an “Affinity Ventures” which is unrelated.

I don’t think this is a private equity side project…
The concern is always leverage and conflict of interest.

Is there something about you that you would do anything to keep covered up?

Are you susceptible to outside influence?

Can anyone, in any country, compel you to act counter to the interest of your employer?

Foreign property means you are, at the very least, going to take interest if/when the foreign government threatens it.

AI is causing the unemployment or big tech is still downsizing after the influx of hiring done during and after the pandemic?
How certain are you of your position? There are 3 major mobile telecoms in the country. Their service plans and coverage are roughly comparable. There are a handful of parent corporations that own fast food franchises in the country. Their product offerings and price points are roughly the same and all opportunistically raised prices after supply side disruptions from the pandemic were largely resolved. Most consumer appliances (regardless of brand) are assembled from parts made in the same factory. Similar features, similar life expectancy, similar price. Same with packaged food brands, clothing, furniture, building materials, this list is basically endless, and a product of a few decades of unchecked corporate mergers and acquisitions and the steady march of private equity into just about every market niche in existence.
Some would pursue less lucrative passions. Some would spiral into lazy Sunday behavior every day.

Hmm, but was the reconquista really a capitalist venture?
I'm more thinking of times when I've been driving through areas with spotty cell service, rather then the actual backcountry. The sort of thing where you could drive to it, but still haven no service.
"hispanic" is also more like a general term than an identity that anyone in latinoamerica actually holds. we largely identify with our home regions (which actually correspond pretty closely to pre-colonial cultural groups). "hispanohablante" and "latino" are far more common terms than "hispano", but are not really used except in very broad terms. however, due, in part, to the incomienda system there's a lot of erasure of indigenous and afro contributions to our cultures.
So, say in a few weeks, a massive fraud gets caught. Musk announces it, releases the documents. Who's to say these crooks didn't manipulate it? Same goes for achives of *.gov but those are public. So we can compare hashes independently from each other. With these private repos, we can't. Originals are getting burned. Hopefully there's solid offsite backups untouched.
Being in the trenches I've lost a lot of perspective about life, and I think I mainly struggle because of this. I started the business to be in the flow of life as you suggest, and whilst its worked in some dimensions, the financial aspect of it has made it very difficult to appreciate how far I've come.
I was thinking of having one or the other, but let as the const form is appealing. ;-)
I’ve never seen a GPU with special primitives for any functions than you’d see in pc style assembly. Every time I’ve looked at a decompiled shader, it’s always been pretty much what you think of in C.

Aldo specs like OpenGL specify many intrinsic behavior, which is then implemented as the spec, using standard assembly instructions.

Only about 45% of US adults bother to get flu shots. It's about 33% for ages 18-49, 46% for 50-64, and 70% for 65+.

I'm not sure why it is so low, as they are available for free under most major insurance plans (other than HMO plans) at the pharmacies of many major grocery chains including Walmart and Albertsons/Safeway and Target and Costco with no appointment necessary so you can get them during one of you shopping trips.
the repeated refrain “they won the election” isn’t a lazy deflection—it’s a recognition of how our political system actually works. Power isn’t a magical property that comes from shouting insults or perpetuating endless conspiracy theories. Rather, it comes from a process that all of us have a stake in: an election that confers legitimacy on those chosen to govern. Yes, the people in power are taking legal actions to challenge inefficiency or waste, and if you disagree with the policies or the conduct of those in office, the established rules and courts are the means to bring about change.

Critics on both sides—whether anti‑Trump or anti‑Elon—tend to focus on slogans or sensational accusations rather than on what really matters: the proper channels of accountability. If you object to how power is being wielded or believe that policies are harming the nation, then the proper remedy isn’t to simply rail against the outcome. It is to participate in the democratic process. Challenge those actions in court, push for legislative reforms, and, importantly, vote for candidates who will implement the changes you want. That is the only non‑ad hoc, non‑refutable solution available.

It may sound repetitive to say “win the election” over and over again, but that is the point. Every time someone dismisses an objection with “they won the election,” they are implicitly saying: “If you don’t like how the current system is working, use the power that the system itself provides.” The legal processes and checks and balances aren’t just theoretical ideals—they’re the only way to address grievances without devolving into personal attacks or populist demagoguery.

So yes. If you don't like CURRENT thing.. you'll have to vote and better convince others your candidates the right one. The team that won is the team with power. Just as with Biden the team that won had their actions, people didn't like it, and here we are.

EDIT: I'd also ad that it's confrontational for you to directly assume people are in a cult because they don't follow your views.
Personally I liked joysticks and never understood why d-pads became the standard after the NES. They remind me of playing games with cursor keys and just seem less fun.
I write my blog in markdown and serve it to the browser as such, with a one-liner javascript include to render it in browsers that support that. I like that the "canonical" post source is preserved and served (you can read it with telnet, in a pinch).
I tend to disagree, in terms of coordinated upheaval we saw something similar in Andrew Jackson's presidency. Nothing new under the sun, I'm afraid.
Are we then conferring some kind of supernatural or religious properties to the brain’s particular implementation of neurons?

If not, then why shouldn’t differently constructed but algorithmically similar systems be able to produce similar phenomena?

Yeah I think you are right about entrepreneurship - flexibility in myself is what I need right now, not rigidity.

I'm not sure I agree with going for the "easiest" job. I mean, whats "easier", a mind-numbing web development job, or a more challenging embedded or hwdev role?
I didn't know FED data that was accessed at the Treasury department contained data on classified nuclear weapons systems. I've also never seen this level of freakout over real breaches like say SolarWind done by APT-29(Cozy Bear) actual Russian foreign intelligence group. That breach included Treasury, DoD, DoJ, State Department, DHS, Energy Department and so on.

"AI will replace many workers" feels eerily similar to the message of the early 2000s in the US: "Tech/Knowledge workers from low cost locations will replace many workers from high cost locations." In truth, the high cost locations continued to grow, side-by-side, with low cost locations. To be clear: I am not speculating on the why, rather only sharing what I see.
