I believe what Anthropic is doing, gating the ability to do certain harmless things like LLM research, and with incredibly sensitive filters that even medical questions are often blocked, is *deeply* wrong. They got open research, the Transformer, GPT2, ...

En el Metro de Santiago se gasta cada vez más en comunicaciones y menos en mantenimiento 🤷‍♂️

Muy buena columna del @JorgeJis ex-gerente de operaciones del @metrodesantiago que hace un diagnóstico claro y preciso del deterioro que ha tenido el Metro 👇

As the family IT guy its so disappointing how bad of an experience technology is for non-technical people.

I had the distinct pleasure of building educational software for kids full time for a summer while in college (s/o to @WilliamsonMark), and I remember they did weekly/biweekly user testing where a group of toddlers would come in and we'd record them using the software in various states and then adjust accordingly.

Every single session was SHOCKINGLY illuminating. Like, I expected after a number of these I'd empathize more and build better toddler software one-shot right? Hell fucking no. Every user study was so educational. I learned I simply can't enter the mind of a toddler.

Do TV companies, Netflix/Roku/etc. do user studies with elderly people? Do they realize how dogshit and impossible to navigate their interfaces are?

Asking some elderly family members to "sign up and schedule an Uber to pick you up for the airport" is like mission impossible. I thought they were exaggerating, then I tried the experience and holy shit man. Try cold finding, installing, signing up, and scheduling an Uber on a 5 year old iPhone with max font size. Its insane.

@snowmaker That made the hair on my arms stand up. Literally horrifying.

Cómo algo *cae* -0.5%? O sea subió?

[Nicolás Paut @nicopaut]

¡AHORA! El Banco Central corrige a la baja el PIB del primer trimestre. Según el informe de Cuentas Nacionales, la actividad entre enero y marzo CAYÓ -0,5%, esto es 2 décimas más bajo de lo estimado por los Imacec de cada mes.

“No hay evidencia” puede significar también que no se pueden dar cuenta de que se les están filtrando datos.

La Secretaría de Gobierno Digital comunica lo siguiente:

[Eugenio Severin @eugenioseverin]

Te aviso que voy a eliminar 10 programas, algunos inverosímiles (alimentación de niños), reclamas, elimino “sólo” 3 (lo únicos que en realidad quería eliminar) y tú te alegras de haberme “ganado”. De manual.

Sorry, pero no se puede jugar con las expectativas de la gente y luego decirles que están equivocados, por muy reales que sean los datos. El daño ya está hecho 🤷

Esta es la flota total de buses circulando en Santiago (RED) durante los últimos 5 lunes (9 de marzo hasta 6 de abril). No ha habido ningún cambio en el plan operacional definido en febrero. Es FALSO que se hayan reducido buses, frecuencias o recorridos (Fuente: DTPM).

gracias @tenpocl por tamaño ofertón

[leya 𖦹 @fixonthestreet]

por qué en vez de ocupar todas las palabras virales gringas, no volvemos al lenguaje coloquial y usamos el tracalá, merenjunje, mereketengue, tejemaneje, entumía, julepe, florflay, ecolecuá, cachivache, amononar, amuñuñao, tole tole, y mi favorita: guarifaifa je viva chile

@cristianruz Por qué me hacen echarlo de menos también

NEW POST

@techygarg uses a structured conversation with an AI agent that mirrors whiteboarding with a human: progressive levels of design alignment, reducing cognitive load, and catching misunderstandings at the cheapest possible moment.

I started a new chapter of my Agentic Engineering Patternw guide about anti-patterns - things NOT to do

So far I only have one: Inflicting unreviewed code on collaborators, aka dumping a thousand line PR without even making sure it works first https://t.co/rg6LVi9zkk

[Dane Knecht 🦭 @dok2001]

Everything we're doing to make codebases "agent-ready" (better docs, less dead code, smaller surfaces) engineers always needed too. Agents just have zero tolerance for the entropy humans learned to work around. They can't "just know" a file is outdated or a code path is dead. They take your codebase at face value, which means it finally has to be worth taking at face value.
