she/her. incurable pragmatist. i wasn't born a lesbian but i got here as fast as i could.
Thinking about this more, I wonder if folks realize how mean they are being to EEs who work in electronics. They *make electronics* but a ton of the field is fully automated. Most of the practical training is in using the modeling tools and feeding the robots. But there is a TON of theory.
Me, personally, I consider it a pretty huge indignity to have an algorithm write my code then turn to others and say "here's my code".
this would really help with an embedded project i'm working on
they should make a claude code that solders all your wires for you
A lot of shit people think is driven by an evil conspiracy of elites is actually mostly driven by large numbers of consumers and/or voters finding a (potentially quite shitty) equilibrium of desires, at least in places with relatively high political and economic freedom, which the US is.
I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

chatgpt's app on the phone is importing my apple health records and crashing every 30 seconds doing it. do NOT hit "allow all" if you have a big health database it will not end well.
i regret trying the iOS/WatchOS betas. they fuckin suck. Siri is worse now.
i know it sounds like i'm talking about ~productivity~ but it's not really about that, that's just the most overt sign. i use it to stand in for how it feels to have a brain full of wasps, to hate everything, to love nothing, to want nothing except the end of not wanting anything.
the way my mental health goes from actually pretty good, i'm writing code, i'm doing chores, i'm socially engaged, etc, to crashing and burning and wiping out all that and turning into a wreck on the couch all day, literally overnight, is so fucking demoralizing
i know the discourse is all about how this is evil or whatever but personally: thank fuck, now i don't have to switch to Claude just for Apple Health integration when i want to do a little p-hacking for personal health reasons openai.com/index/health...

HuggingFace got hacked by an AI. What stuck out to me was the guardrail asymmetry. The attacker had no constraints, but HF's response ran afoul of the abuse guardrails, forcing them into an unplanned switch to local models. Another aspect for your IR plans. huggingface.co/blog/securit...
Also, IME the overlap between people who say "you are bad for using AI, ask a real expert instead" and people who treat you like shit for asking them a question is quite high
At some point we’re going to need to square the circle between puffing “Why are you asking AI, go ask a real person instead” and all of us who have told someone “If you are soliciting my expertise then please pay me.” +
with the whole "China buffering the global oil market" thing, am I wrong to think that the oil markets have proven to be less irrational and more knowledgeable than they have widely been accused of being visavis the Iran war? the widely predicted energy apocalypses have failed to manifest so far.

as a mostly-hobby photographer, this analogy has strongly shaped my intuitions about AI art. people thought (and some still think) photography isn't art, or cannot be art, too. also i've been fucking around a little bit with serious image gen (Draw Things) and it's uhhhh not actually super simple.
i made this argument on twitter once and i had a guy literally write "taking a photograph doesnt make you a photographer"
end of Umbrella Academy season 4 such a bummer it put me in a depressive spiral
huh, i thought i was the only one who thought this
the main argument against sharing ideas is that it gives you the dopamine hit of social recognition without any of the execution work

Claude Fable tell me how to not fumble this baddie. Make no mistakes.
Looking forward to 2030 when everyone just asks their Star Trek computer to conjure up any data analysis or holdeck program imaginable, except for a handful of anti-ai hold outs who‘ll have reimplemented templeOS in zig
guess we're gonna find out if the "open weights bad" people were right or not sooner rather than later
www.kimi.com/blog/kimi-k3 quite simply: god damn
the volume of discourse from posting "the Zig anti-LLM code of conduct is deranged" is deranged
"No LLMs for brainstorming and then sharing the results of that brainstorming, even if you create the prose. If you use a chatbot to give you advice on a comment on the issue tracker, that comment is unwelcome." jesus christ the Zig anti-LLM code of conduct is deranged ziglang.org/code-of-cond...
on zig's anti-AI hardliner stance serving a useful experimental function
even better, they can serve as a control group for the pro-ai side to prove the superiority of their workflow
