@aptshadow.bsky.social Just finished Shroud, for me it's a perfect novel. My gold standard for sci fi is Octavia Butler and this is as good. The dark humour is wonderful, and you must have spent ages putting the complex world of Shroud together so believably.

The economic problem with AI and robotics is very simple. As companies need fewer and fewer employees, the income in the economy will be directed more and more to company owners. Ordinary people will not be able to survive and the demand in the economy will drastically shrink. I see no solution../

Next thing to happen in the process of Trumpism will be some kind of armed standoff between could be ICE and local law enforcement or police sent to arrest government officials for contempt of court. The reaction will be a whole new level of attempted tyranny

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

#Coding #SoftwareDev The hardest thing in software dev isn't naming or cache invalidation, it's knowing where to put things.

Is there any April Fools joke about something made up done by Trump that people would actually not believe at this point?

#AI why are states so obsessed with training foundation models when the gap between open source models and proprietary models is so small and when most of the value generated by AI will be in applications leveraging those models?

If social media ceased to exist tomorrow what would be lost? Virtually nothing except some profits. What would be gained? A huge amount of time and a not inconsiderable amount of sanity.

#AI #ChatGPT #DeepResearch I'm using this new deep research feature in Chat GPT. It's really amazing and digs up all kinds of useful information, takes about 10 mins but it would take you a couple of days to do the same not as well. Highly recommend.

#AI #LLMs #CursorAI When you find AI isn't fixing a code bug, the danger of continuing to try and get it to solve the same bug is that it will hallucinate bad reworkings of the code. Often the issue is you didn't give it enough context, e.g. the code calling your code etc

JD Vance insisting the rest of the world will be takers of US AI tech shows technical naivety when their LLMs are only leading by about 10% the best open source ones. US cloud dominance is much more of a problem

i’m sure we can get those enemy numbers into plurality territory
"Do you consider the United States to be..."

An ally: 30%
A neutral country: 27%
An enemy country: 27%

#AI tip of the day - LLMs are great at writing SVG files from a description, perfect for icons

The painful thing about working with #react is you're constantly building little state machines in each component, but their behaviour isn't explicit, it's encoded in the order of the hooks and their dependencies

If I was any non US state I'd be looking to have my country building out it's own cloud infrastructure as soon as possible. Both because of no longer trusting the security of information held by US corps and that being critically reliant on US cloud infra is something Trump could want to exploit

Extraordinarily detailed article here by @mliebreich.bsky.social - if you're interested at all in the energy impact of AI data center buildouts I recommend spending some time with this, I learned a ton from it

Been loving display: contents and aspect-ratio in CSS, both solve problems that would be very hard to solve another way

#ai I'm using Cursor AI to help me write code, it's an amazing example of an integrated LLM assistant. Does anyone else find the more they use LLMs to help with work the more ways you find to use it and the productivity gain is looking like around 50% now.
