unironically I think most devs should work for a serious b2b outfit early in their careers because it's the only time you have any chance to get stakeholder inputs that make any sense at all not guaranteed, mind you
the problem is that the model is insufficiently like software and that the harness, which is software, is treated as a secondary concern by machine learning researchers rather than a primary object of interest
If you watch the aesthetics/performance of MAGA they are ALWAYS CELEBRATING. They are performing power. Many things we shouldn't emulate. This one we cld use more of. Play like youre behind, yes. But playing like you're losing or telegrahing the power of yr opponents is a bad, bad idea.
If thinking doesn't come from the brain region of human space, it's just sparkling pattern matching
One Pentagon official made assurances that a human will always be involved in the decisions.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2w agoShanah Tovah, New York! Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).
Agentic work rewards skills our culture codes as feminine and therefore pretends are not skills
we’re watching people making ridiculous sums every year discover the concept of dotfiles
I kinda think that a lot of the push towards bigger models is to try to resolve that most people write bad prompts with bad workflows, and would like to replace their own thonk with robot thonk. But I am completely unimpressed with their ability to do so at any level of quality I would accept
if we Simply Stopped at GLM 5.3 and 5.3 Flash price and performance, it would be five years or more before the median programmer caught up and longer for non-programmers The new tiny Qwen model is good too, runs on my MacBook even.
Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
on april 1st I'm going to push a polytoken release that lectures you if it thinks you're insufficiently polite to the model
Like, write it in rust, make it use verus, do test driven development, but for the love of god do not waste your time reading code
Been offline for a while: how long have y'all been sp inning out over this new thing, anyway?
if you're lucky this happens, if you're unlucky you don't notice that it fucked things up and you find out in a month bsky.app/profile/segy...
SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social · last mo.if one gpu in a gpu miner dies your marginal revenue is lower, if a serious training job has a node die ten extremely high strung people all start trying to figure out who to call on the phone to scream
A really weird irony about the "authenticity" debate wrt rural volk vs cosmopolitan elites is that the actual culture of rural red state America in the 2020s is not actually authentic in any meaningful way?
Political campaigns can see whether you voted in every single election going back years and years. When you do not vote, they know, and the message that sends - the *ONLY* message that sends, ever, to any campaign - is that you are less worth targeting in future campaigns.
Riley Bruce@rileybruce.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhat’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?
this is why actually regulating datacenters is a lot more important than banning them. banning them is stupid. please just set reasonable floors for % renewables!
4/ Does extremism exist in EVERY faith? Of course. Human nature is consistent. But it is always a tiny fraction of the whole. Again, human nature is consistent. And every man and woman born is made in the image of God, reflecting His inherent goodness.
I know many of you have seen this already, but i wanted to meta. As you read the post, stop. And analyze your emotion. if you feel the outrage, urge to correct the obvious nonsense, enlighten the poaster - don’t. You will not convince. They are in terrible mood, for whatever reason…
A LOT OF IT! A WHOLE FUCKING LOT OF IT! Though to be fair it's not just "should have thought of", it's also "did not have the effort budget to do". Like people build shitty workflows held together by human attention and human effort and then stop. They do this *all the time*. I do this all the time
like, "yes a bunch of people provided unharnessed LLMs and no guidance have cooked themselves" is not a particularly interesting observation. nor is "therefore the tool cannot be used for useful purposes" derived from that
Fascism thrives in contradictions: COVID was a hoax that never hurt anybody. It's also a terrible pandemic and Fauci must be held responsible. The COVID vaccine killed millions. MRNA vaccines are a crime against humanity. Also Trump invented the COVID vaccine and must be credited for it.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...
Or do we mean poor people who grew up in rural areas, or emigrated there to work? Because that's a WHOLE different kind of "rural outreach" than "talking to farmers" is. Or the "preserving nature" voters.

The idea that there's an easy abundance of free resources to learn to code is laughable once you've done what I've done and been a VP of research at a company that helped thousands of people break into tech careers. There's an abundance of *beginner tutorials*
