I have more coming on this topic soon, but for now: don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Your domain pointing at your social media presence is a step in the right direction. Backing up your posts on other platforms. Creating a website with a webhosting service. etc

TikTok ban, Musk Twitter takeover, Facebook moderation changes, Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on online speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

The most interesting stuff in LLMs right now (to me) is:

+ figuring out how to do it on CPU
+ figuring out how to do it well for specific tasks

ZIP is, very literally, the most important format that has ever been created. 35 years. That is its genius. And it underlies innumerable “formats” you use today. Rename them to .zip and try. They’re ZIP. DOCX? PPTX? It’s a zip file.
That is Phil Katz. And nobody knows his name.

Sometimes I remember that "Scaled Agile For Enterprises (SAFe)" exists and I google the diagram and then I just marvel that this exists and that people look at this diagram and think "yup let's do it" and then they spend years (!) trying to implement it.

And then I stop myself.
