I think it’s really important to understand that LLMs cannot, themselves, take over the world, inflict pain, or cause catastrophic damage. It is the people using them. It’s men. It’s always men.

If AI mania is making you feel like you’re going insane, this article might help. > I am very confident that almost every report at a company about “massive AI productivity gains” is untrue as a matter of brute fact. ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mani...

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

I've open-sourced a Go caching library I've been working on. It does request coalescing (duplicate call suppression). It's like a blend of sync.Map and singleflight.Group. github.com/jakewright/g...

A few months ago Apple stopped releasing iOS 18 updates for devices that support iOS 26. But I knew if I waited it out they’d be forced to issue security updates eventually. 😼 Be warned though that this update re-enables automatic updates!

Those network-controlled PDUs are expensive. Is there any reason why I shouldn't just buy a bunch of cheap IKEA smart plugs and do this?

MIDI 1.0 is the gold standard for protocols. Introduced in 1983, still fit for purpose 43 years later. You can take a synth or a drum machine from the 80s, connect it to a brand new keyboard or controller, and it’ll just work. 👏

I have long believed that tech companies tend to over-hire. I expect we’ll continue to see redundancies and layoffs attributed to “AI” but these will either be (a) due to misplaced confidence in the abilities of AI, or (b) because the company had too many employees in the first place.

Tried out some other text editors (want simple, lightweight, not IDEs) including Zed and Nova. Both buggy. Sublime Text—after nearly 20 years—still seems like the most solid & reliable option. 💪
