Over the next few years you are going to have to fight with everything you’ve got to retain your humanity. They will try to convince you to give up connecting with each other, to give up truly being alive. It will be the most important fight of your whole life

@brendanbiles @wil_da_beast630 it is actually entirely possible to film sports without doing so from these angles, as evidenced by literally every sport ever filmed

software engineering is now draining because all the "easy" work is done

you used to be able to do productive but relatively simple work some days (writing some new endpoints, making some dashboards)

now all that is left is the hard part

You know you're a runner when your #1 criteria for buying a house was "Can I run from my front door?"

Learn to ship. Shipping is a skill distinct from coding. Shipping is designing, coding, QAing, story-telling, teaching, marketing, selling, pivoting, iterating…

It used to be that coding dominated in importance because of coding ability scarcity. AI will push you to go further.

[Jesse Livermore @Jesse_Livermore]

Letting AI models free-ride on the corpus of human knowledge is terrible policy. Little reason to write a book if AI is just going to swallow it up and distribute it to the world without any recognition or compensation.

How do you give a code LLM knowledge of an entire repository without paying for it at every single query?

We introduce Code2LoRA: a hypernetwork that turns a repository into its own LoRA adapter. Repo knowledge baked into weights → zero inference-time token overhead.

after using gemini 3.5 flash a bit, its really annoying that its a "flash" model. just the branding is confusing.

its too expensive for the type of small data analysis stuff I've been doing that 3 flash is basically perfect for.

Easy ways to reduce your token spend. No one will do these three weird tricks to write less code because they’re so boring:

1. Talk to other people in your org to get better requirements
2. Have humans write good documentation
3. Make your internal search tool better

These guys should be the real longevity influencers..

It's not cosplaying for the gram, using some biomarker to convince yourself, it's legitimate functional performance in the arena.

@stevemagness thats incredible. feel like we are gonna see eye-opening improvements in what older bodies are capable of.

He seems to have used keywords rather than an embeddings model

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

This is totally false. ChongLy Thao is a U.S. citizen. Because of this DHS policy, ICE smashed down his door, pointed guns at his family, and dragged him out of his house by force without ever getting a judicial warrant. That was just a blatant violation of Thao's 4th Amendment rights, for which no ICE agent will ever pay a price.

@carney Yes, and Biden did it in 2024.

US media tends to cover robotaxis as a Waymo/Tesla race, but globally Waymo's strongest competition is likely to be Chinese companies like Baidu, WeRide, and Pony. Rough robotaxi counts today:

Waymo: 2,500
Baidu: 1,000
Pony: 960
WeRide: 750
Tesla: 100
