That’s one framing, here’s another:

The next CEO of Apple is someone that cares about quality. (As evidenced by how good the hardware is)

Feel free to keep trying shoe models until you find the right one. It took me 25 pairs of shoes from amazon to find one that fit right (mizuno wave rider in wide).

Running shoes are converging on two designs: maximalist shoes with a long foam and a narrow foot, or “barefoot” shoes. Which means it’s harder than ever to find something that fits if neither of those work well for you.

lol we told you plugins were insecure years ago. I distinctly remember getting flamed in your discord because I said that they had full disk access. Too little too late.

No, it’s more like “installing software installs files on the system”.

That’s not new by any means. It’s no different than zoom installing a native audio plugin for the os, or other software creating files on the system.

That’s not spyware, that’s just how native messaging is designed to work. You have to put a manifest there if you want the native messaging to work later.

Aha! Same for me. A telling sign to me is it will take him 2-3 turns of “that’s not right” before he’ll say “let me do this properly…” and do what I original requested.

It’s not celebrity worship, it’s trying to show the absurdity of celebrity worship.

Better than rest is a low bar though. Ultimately agents should rarely be calling raw rest and graphql apis, which are meant for programmatic use.

Agents should be calling one level of abstraction higher.

Eg calling a function to “find me relevant events in this city according to this users preferences” instead of “list all events in this city”.

Kamal + cloudflare tunnel is a neat setup.

AI is having the same effect on art as the iPhone did on photography.

There’s a lot more photos now, most of them mediocre, but some exceptional.

It does become harder to filter great photography from noise.

Except, they have one person in the ear. Not 4-5, not people giving opposite opinions, not drive by takes.

By the time a race engineer is communicating with a driver all of that has been shaken out. Specific concrete options are given to the driver, and usually only one.

This is one of those meaningless trivia questions.

Its not bigotry nor is it clever. It’s just word play.

Pydantic ai is pretty good. There were some growing pains as it moved towards 1.0, but going forward the API should be mostly stable.

It does have slightly more complexity than I’d like, but most of the design decisions are sound and the code is easy to read.

Influencer marketing is a big part of the problem here.

The best practices engineering influencers shill are geared towards shipping a todo list quickly, and no thought is given towards maintainability.

But if you advocate for this now, newer engineers think you’re doing it wrong.

The thing is the prices are all made up anyway. The hospital hallucinates prices, so they don’t blink an eye when an llm does the same.

Because it's interesting. We don't need to censor everything.
