I still have my Pixelbook. Still love it even if it is relegated to home use only now. Highly recommend framework laptops and their keyboards.

This echos my experience. It's a fantastic tool to use as a developer. Even better at finding last minute great dog walks between places in the campervan abroad

Feel like they might have finally created a coherent solution and strategy that is worth spooling up on rather than contending with a world of overexcited constantly shifting ideas

Awesome tech. The use of the word embody to hook up Astra to the robot is a bit spooky.

💯. It's near impossible to keep on top of the changes and MS specific terminology. I've eschewed doing anything that's not done by the cli, there's nothing I feel confident in referencing online as best practice for learners.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

I've certainly noticed this too. When building apps I now include system prompts to explicitly call out "ensure this is built production ready first" else there's a bundle of odd front and back end comments

Classic study gave 146 economist teams the same dataset & got wildly different answers New paper reruns it with agentic AI. Claude Code & Codex land near the human median but with far tighter dispersion & no extremes This suggests that agentic AI is now useful for doing scalable economics research

LLMs are statistical models. Their function is to pick words from the top of the bell curve directed by the initial prompt. The mathematical generic response. The antithesis of creativity. I use them all the time as a developer, but rarely for anything truly creative.
