The problem with most pitch critiques is that they don't recognize that there is one pitch for investors and one pitch for customers. Any pitch can be destroyed if you judge it on the alternate target.

This is not surprising. Being able to hire talented staff below market and lock them into your company for 5+ years is a competitive advantage. I have been that talent. it.slashdot.org/story/24/12/...

I need AWS to get on @bsky.app so I can complain to them about the AWS SAM linter... good vibes are great and all, but naming and shaming corporates on socials for better support is critical to our post-industrial society!

Someone is going to plug GIMP 3.0 into an LLM and they will be a hero: www.tomshardware.com/software/fre...

Free, open-source Photoshop alternative finally enters release candidate testing after 20 years — the transition from GIMP 2.x to GIMP 3.0 took two decades
The slow and steady climb to 3.0 culminates in the most modernized version of GIMP yet.

If wafer-scale Memristors become viable, we could have on-device LLMs with no idle power requirement that meaningfully contain the sum of human knowledge. It could be the turning point for 1. neural interfaces, 2. robotics, 3. education. 4. User experience pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

I’ve noticed, in myself, a modern kind of sadness twinge when a friend goes Spotless Mind on their timeline. It might start by seeing someone new on their insta, then, wait what? A whole part of their social memory has been cleansed. Having far-flung friends means lots of important vignettes, lost.
