I think you can make it work if AI revenue is on the order of $1000 per white collar worker per year (probably even less).

That’s actually a fantastic goal (> $100 billion revenue). It’s beyond what I anticipate happening soon, but it also falls short of “we’ve eliminated 10% of the workforce.”

I think you’ve mixed up ADTs and ADTs.

I knew a dev working on a product where end users could see stack traces. He specifically rewrote null pointer exceptions, because his users were somewhat technical, but not programmers. They would see “null pointer exception” and try to guess what data was missing in lieu of a bug report.

Makes sense.

Question: I’ve always thought I read “High Holy Days.”

Is that a real phrase, is “High Holidays” an alternative, or is that just autocorrect doing its thing?

@tightheadpop.bsky.social If I go a week without saying “the NSA invented Agile” at work, I deserve a medal.

That or “Some sum summations”

Agreed. @aaronrosspowell.com Probably didn’t think about whether his tweet had a “topic sentence”. Yet it led with its thesis, because he intuitively understands how to write in a way that most high school students don’t.

Ok, but what does this do for calculating how many lifehacks you’re going to share?

In all seriousness, it’s pretty clear what happened here. In someone’s head they defined 2010s liberalism = woke = censorship, and now that right wing censorship is in the news, it feels right to them to mock it as “woke.”

The only good clanker is one that warns us about the other clankers.

I wasn’t too sure, but I recently told someone junctions seemed like a miniature array language inside of Raku.

““Hard deadlines⁠—often externally-imposed⁠—requiring work even if something else is nominally “more important.” (e.g. zero-day security patch is not on our list of prioritized strategic work, but must be scheduled immediately.”

Cost of delay is higher for the security patch. So is priority.

I think my reaction to a lot of the examples in this post is “this isn’t compelling if you rank in terms of cost of delay.”

There are hard bugs, but the fact that it’s possible to see this screen indicates a sort of trivially dumb failure mode.

I saw someone citing a well known philosophy paper to make a point about AI, and I sometimes wish there were disclaimers about which bits of philosophy were real, and which are strike dummies for training undergrads.

“I have”, *sigh*

I’m have nearly zero belief that “AIs suffer” and think it’s currently a pretty silly worry, but I think there’s a lot of overlap where people who worry about it are vegans or otherwise very invested in animal welfare.

One my life’s tiniest regrets is that I never wrote up my review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, based on the screen of the guy one row ahead of me.

It’s hard to believe that any dialogue could’ve made it make sense.

It’s not what Trump meant, but I half assume there are legitimate Islamic organizations that have been refused banking on suspicion of being tied to terrorism.

Not a cryptographer, but I suspect that in this context "there exists an algorithm" does not mean "we have an algorithm".

This is in the same way that in P!=NP, the claim is not "we haven't found an algorithm" but "it's impossible to find an algorithm, no matter how much you search".

Not literally a contradiction, but the implied claim of utility/convenience is undermined by the noisy AI overview in your way. You can no longer instantly see that you have recommendations.

Screenshot of a google search for “all you can eat buffet”, with an AI overview explaining that you can search Google or Yelp for the string “all you can eat buffet near me” to find local all you can eat buffets.

A nice example that a statement can be paradoxically self-defeating not merely because of the content, but because of the context in which it is uttered.

…remind me, why is federation good?

See a Tim Bray post on mastodon on my phone, want to reference it from my computer. I’m not signed in there.

Google Tim Bray mastodon. First link points to mastodon.cloud, with a post he’s moving to hachyderm.io (mastodon.cloud/@timbray/109... )…

And I think the biggest question for a lot of them people is “does Trump run the Republican Party or is he just temporarily President.”

If it’s the former, they can’t defy him and stay in office. If it’s the latter, they care more about approval ratings and tactics.

I think that’s roughly it. Congress gets spooked, his nominees no longer see an upside in pushing hard for what he wants, he can no longer bulldoze federal agencies, etc.

Ugh, I misread skip as “play twice in a row.” Too tired this morning.

It’s already believed with perfect play that White can’t lose (probably perfect play is a draw, but we don’t know).

My feeling is this is a big advantage, probably bigger than piece odds (it sort of trivially turns into piece odds in a lot of concrete circumstances).
