Alright, guys. Who called a Waymo for a spider?
it's amazing how there's a renaissance of great terminal interfaces
with all the deskilling and gell-manning (etc) we're gonna get from automated thinking machines, now is the time for the 'tools for thought' crowd to make tools that help you think things through for yourself.
tools to do *more* hard thinking.
it should feel effortful. cherish that feeling.
That last one is a killer: you have a need, and would pay good money! Once product exists, a dozen copies come out, each charging 10% less, race to the bottom for pricing
why build it?
(answers: fun, oss ideology, altruism, or: build it for yourself and don’t tell anyone about it: comp advantage!)
It's funny how FOSS ended up feeding a few new megacorps that own everything when the whole point of FOSS was to prevent that from happening.
NEW: Around 60 services tied to Amazon Web Services are down in the region, affecting web traffic in the UAE and Bahrain. The outage comes following Iranian attacks on the UAE as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
this is an attempt by the Secretary of War to bankrupt Anthropic.
good luck to everyone working there
this is about the government using AI for surveillance
a somewhat rushed post about Anthropic telling the Secretary of War no, Anthropic's history with the government, etc.
AI is mostly destroying the narrative market. All market forces are framed in terms of AI investment because AI investment narratives are what investors crave.
Deadlifts mostly
this has the ring of truth but we can just day "uses bazel" and the rest is implied
Your post led me to stumble upon labs.ripe.net/author/ben_c..., which was entertaining and educational (as was your talk referenced from it!), thank you !

I have a lot of sympathy for the folks working on GitHub Actions but it has uh really not been a stable dependency recently github.com/actions/runn...
Anything that lets me spend more time in the hammock and less time at a keyboard is a net win for happiness and productivity in my book.
Constraints are with us every step in API design, yet most people are not even aware of it. If you're willing to face the constraints you place on yourself, you free yourself to see the full gamut of possibilities.

This applies equally to all words that primarily originate online
This is one of my favorite things, data model explainers!
Makes me think of #rfc9110, which turned my head super fast. Instead of a technical document on http the protocol, a rfc on what the model of http is.

Understanding not what is but what it means enables!
At least you can recognize all of this as it’s happening. That perspective can be hard to maintain
in fairness it’s hard to appreciate the complexity until you eat dirt a few times
Incredible how every single feature that Go has deliberately omitted in the name of simplicity makes Go code more complicated and difficult to reason about
I’m sorry, a password manager didn’t have a dedicated security team previously? If you use these clowns you’re negligent.
This is the power of user interviews and extensive user testing across the spectrum of experience levels. Git never went through this process
Even if these tools only offer modest productivity improvements, they will transform society. We should be arguing about slope, not direction.

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev
Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine.
It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity
ttl.sh is very cool. Limited-duration container registry, perfect for testing things!
I went on a podcast to talk about Rust, async programming, and Tokio. Happy to answer any questions or you can just tell me I'm wrong.
