make no mistake: anyone telling you AI is “just like the dot com bubble” or “just like Amazon web services or uber” is beyond misinformed, verging into the realms of actually wanting to know less about the world. It means they have never actually looked at any of the numbers. Or they can’t count.

Art & Language are a facsimile of human consciousness, ai outputs are a (poor) facsimile of Art & Language. So, somehow, we are expected to believe ai has created a lossless compression algo for consciousness? Big ol doubt button

Turns out using the hugeicons library makes for decent prototype assets

the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

Day 6: She is not remotely phased by freezing rain. She is doing a very good sit to let me put her collar on before going outside now. No wiggles and no trying to grab my hand with her teeth. This pup catches on so quickly. Took 5 min and about half a dozen treats to not be afraid of the umbrella

We said goodbye to our doggo today. She was loyal, too smart for her own good, and opinionated in the way all cattle dogs are. I'm really gonna miss her.

I like to think about the fact that places keep needing whistles means more people everyday are deciding to get more involved. We are not yet at maximum whistle saturation.

Using a chatbot, a programmer will happily produce code that would have gotten them murdered by the people who have to maintain it later. They'll happily take code just as bad, and not know the most basic things about how to maintain it. They'll feed it right back into the slop machine.

Mayor Frey didn’t have the votes for the Dem endorsement, so he declared the whole process ILLEGAL SHAM STOP THE STEAL and got the endorsement revoked on threat of big donors revoking their checks. Money shouldn’t be able to overturn the will of the people. I donated to Omar Fateh’s campaign today.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

@startribune.com Can someone explain why this caption was included in an article that had ZERO to do with bike infrastructure cost, taxes, etc? The article is about ranking bikeability. Is Carol B now writing copy for you?

Urban planners and transit advocates said these rankings and ratings don’t always reflect the reality on the ground.
