I always liked Ben Evans. this is an especially good example of what a good version of Zitron's analysis would look like: axes of variation, how they could play out, this or that is more likely. as opposed to "I'm certain what will happen next despite having been wrong every day for three years"
Ways to think about token pricing — Benedict Evans
AI is in a supply crunch today, but what happens when we come out of it? How and where will supply, demand, price, capacity and capex get back into equilibrium? Today, model labs can name their price,...

Been seeing a lot of this lately. None of my jazz is cybersecurity adjacent. Their classifiers need to improve
This took around 20 hours of focused work, alongside a bunch of other projects. With Sonnet 5 for discovery, Opus for execution, Fable as the brain, and pspace as my custom dev environment, this moved insanely fast. In the old days, this probably would’ve taken more than a week of focused work.
🌟unjs/ocache 0.2 is packed with fixes for 30+ long-standing issues. Landing soon in the next Nitro v3 beta.
I think both "No AI" and "Full AI" are bad takes. They are bad because they are both ideological. You loose, the moment you let ideology guide you.

People are similarly reluctant to concede that, perhaps, Ivy League schools that churn out the likes of Zuckerberg and Trump and Musk may not have the right solutions for how to stop perpetuating the harms that they cause.
Tim Harford's 2 part series on the Panama Canal is one of my all time favourites. It's full of wisdom and cautionary tales, as well as examples of the engineering triumph (mostly in the second part though). Fundamental Attribution Error is the piece that has stuck with me the most.

> no one good has ever been bitching guys This one is slightly off ⤴️ But I do agree with the overall sentiment. Builders >> critics
prior to ai coding people would bitch about other people's code to signal they have some highly refined taste now people bitch about ai's code no one good has ever been bitching guys
For the past 6 years, I’ve been working on developer education full time, on my online courses + blog. It’s been an incredible privilege to be able to focus on this stuff. ✨ I’m starting to wonder, though, whether the business model I’ve chosen is sustainable. Let me explain… 🧵
