worked in small and then big companies, hardware and then software, small are more fun, software is more hard

Find a niche. Make it yours. Outpace the machine at it. Wander where there are no manuals. Climb a step, but keep an eye on the peak. Let hope, struggle, and discovery, not cynical algos, consume you.

@emax Maybe we are the bottleneck? Wouldn’t know what to do with agi even if we had one at the fingertap. Setting a reminder is a different story.

[Elias @lsnmq]

@headinthebox Completely agree, the quest now is to discover these right sized pieces and abstractions to enable this

[Elias @lsnmq]

Hats off to Apple for not paying attention to earlier AI failures to now showing everyone how it’s done for agentic coding when hundreds of companies/startups are stuck in a idealess loop of copying each other’s stupid coding in terminal paradigm.

Tangential point is that it took JUST a year and it’s a great visual demonstration why models are commodities. Though in the current environment not many can focus for “just a year”.

@yarotheslav @grok how much software can you build with Claude for 60000 eur

[Elias @lsnmq]

@brandur This makes sense to me too - there is always going to be jobs. And a lot of competition will move into physical world, like it was competitive to be an intellectual a hundred years ago (we’ll leave such grunt work for computers onwards) - we’ll be competing in gyms and muscles

@brandur @typesfast Same in Barcelona recently

@thorstenball You can check the Heart of a Dog by Bulgakov too

[Elias @lsnmq]

@antirez Yes and then 32 next 😜

@Jason I guess we'll know if owners are correct in three years. As @JeffBezos said: current "quarterly results were actually pretty much fully baked about three years ago". We are too early to judge but change is happening regardless.

[Elias @lsnmq]

Education will overgo a transition bigger than going in bigtech and business now. People always find ways to work around the system but the scale at which this is happening (10-20 is such an understatement) will make the whole setup look like late soviet five-year plans.

Failing in luxury will hit Europe more than any lag in tech or energy.

[@levelsio @levelsio]

It's not just luxury hotels that are a scam, it's almost everything that's luxury that's a scam

Gf bought Rimowa suitcases, expensive and supposed to be better quality than regular ones, but of course they're much worse

They keep breaking, like all of them, cracks in the handles, cracks in the sides, it's just cheap plastic shit but it costs $1000 or more

Rimowa was bought by LVMH in 2016 which has an average profit margin of 66% and whose strategy is to increase prices by ~5x, decrease costs by ~5x and then create artificial scarcity (limited availability per shop) because people want what they can't get (not me though but many)

LVMH is kinda like the luxury version of private equity, it makes everything more expensive and worse and hard to get!

Young people have spent 2 decades now being force-fed doomerism online by attention-seeking sociopaths & mentally unwell peers. The world is not ending, your future is not doomed. Turn off TikTok, go to the gym, learn skills, meet people, participate in life. Decline is a choice

[Elias @lsnmq]

@karrisaarinen Or even product quality growth. There are examples here and there of course (I think @duolingo is shipping cool features recently) but not that common

[Elias @lsnmq]

Working with data is one of the most underrated but high roí skills for MLEs and researchers

@skalskip92 You might not believe it, but I simply manually annotated over 2,000,000 human body parts with ultra-precise detail. Probably no one else could do that.

@yacineMTB Just another day at work

[Elias @lsnmq]

@lantanaseason @yacineMTB knowing the boundaries of this "expert-level output" and being able to tell where it goes off the rails is what deep is (and probably always been just scale changed)

[Elias @lsnmq]

There were thousands of flappy bird clones for years, with 100s added daily during the peak times. None repeated success. Coding one more was never a problem to be solved.

With the recent AI announcements, CEOs bet their companies that business will grow from building more flappy birds faster.
