Gosh what a treat and a fitting surprise after returning from a seaside weekend away! This book looks like an absolute labour of love from @rossignol.bsky.social & @marshdavies.bsky.social. Well done chaps, my eye is totally not twitching at the decision to flip the spine text for book 2!

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

Today East Essex Hackspace celebrated its 8th birthday! 🎂🔥 We started with a handful of people in a Scout hut. Now we’re a community of nearly 400 members, and the Pavilion has been our home for almost six years. So naturally, we lit the cake with a MAP gas blowtorch. Happy birthday, EEH! 🎉

One year of touring the Museum of Broken Dreams around the UK! The exhibition tells the story of community-led projects that could have transformed Britain – but failed because the power to decide whether their vision materialised lay elsewhere. 💔 See it here: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/3659...

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.
