remember when coders used to be like "i rendered this entire fully raytraced 3d scene using just 4kb and i could have probably gotten it down to two and a half if the event was 3 days instead of 2", now all they know is ask claude, be on they phone, make chip hot and lie

Sometimes I say "I will die on this hill" about something I care about, but I'm increasingly thinking: you know, I don't have to die on the hill; I could just visit it often for picnics and such.

Instead of sending an email generated by an LLM, just send the prompt instead. It's shorter for the recipient to read, they can more clearly see your true intent, it's cheaper, better for the environment, and if they really want to: the recipient can feed it into an LLM to get the long version.

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners. If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them. Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

One lesson from yesterday's AWS outage is that we found a flaw in the advice to "have a Signal groups with core staff as a backup channel during outages". (So change that to also have their phone numbers so you can use WhatsApp or Telegram or SMS if needed.)

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.
