@sqs Looks soooo good, especially curious how that might look when used for data / visualisation / empirical research

[Florian Gitt @gitthub]

@thorstenball fair enough 🙂

@mitsuhiko @grok whats he talking about

Polanyi’s test: can you re-derive it, teach it, and notice when it’s wrong? If not, you have output, not understanding.

The ability to enjoy difficulty is a skill, and it’s the one most at risk.

Fable 5.1 max:

"What you’re describing has a name, and it’s older than the problem. The Greek word for leisure, scholē, is where “school” comes from. Aristotle argued that the highest human activity is theoria, contemplation, done for its own sake, and that everything else we do is ultimately so that we can have leisure for it. The “liberal arts” were literally the arts fit for a free person, as opposed to the servile arts you practice to earn a living. The industrial age turned education into job training; the future you’re imagining would return it to its original meaning. So you’re not looking for a new philosophy. You’re looking for a buried one."

[Thorsten Ball @thorstenball]

Yes.

You can now have a team that ships fast, ships a lot, makes a ton of money, delights customers, builds a great product that's beloved

AND

no code reviews, no PRs, without yoloing to main.

At the California Automobile Museum and the docent explains that Henry Ford originally didn’t build the engine or really any of the important pieces of a car, he just assembled the parts.

Ford Motor Company was just a wrapper.

Should Europe leave frontier AI to the Americans and the Chinese?

The idea has gained ground in Europe. It is a fundamental mistake.
Build or surrender: for now, the choice is still ours.

[BradWMorris @bradwmorris]

right now, AMP as an organisation seems like an outlier (and slightly unhinged) to most.

I guarantee that at some point in the not so distant future, failing to fully restructure around this new technology, and this new way/velocity of work will be suicide.

it’s becoming clear that everything else is just an excuse. if you really care about solving problems - it's time to rethink everything ground-up, or ngmi

Hi, I'm Felix. I'm an eng lead working on Claude. I love watching people take flight and do things they never thought possible.

We often describe that as "being more ambitious" when using AI, which is tricky advice to follow. I wrote a tutorial:

Ok this convinced me. I need copies of this in my life.

We’ve got 2 open FDE roles based in NYC we are hiring for.

You’ll be fully focused on our customers and the hope is you’ll found our next Amp Labs (independent subsidiary of Amp, lots of upside) in the US.

We are looking for SWE that know how to operate and deliever within and for our customers. Not moderately technical sales people or sales engineers or Solutions Architects— not a knock! Very important and hard jobs, just not what we are looking for!

You’ll be building new products, doing massive code, data, and framework migrations and advising F100 companies to re-think how their entire SDLC works.

DMs are open.

it blows my mind how many people get on here and start giving advice

i can barely figure out what we should be doing and how and every week things change

and anything i do find conviction on is rarely generalizable

but you all got advice for me
