Peter on Citrini Research Multiple reasons. METR, a study from last summer, showed that at the time developers who were ~20% less productive with AI in the loop were reporting productivity gains of 20%. Even in terms of simpl...

Read the Certrini piece. The premise is a fundamental misunderstanding - Creating software is hard; writing software isn’t. I see no evidence that LLMs provide anything other than an evolutionary improvement in software creation. This comment spells it out: www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic/co...

A simple tariff scoreboard: Consumers pay when prices rise; owners pay when margins fall. If you've got a 401(k), then you're paying either way, and the only question is whether you're doing it at the store, or out of your retirement account.

This goes as hard as JD Vance in an IKEA.

Surprise! Iowa class wasn’t jingoistic enough, so the new trump class is actually going to be based on confederate iron sides. Projected cost of $10-15B per ship remains accurate.

Really looking forward to Minns and the Chief of Police explaining the context of this beat down

Well done Chris Moans

Ouch dude, really sorry you’re going through that. I have another debilitating health condition, and the research that’s gone into using psychological/neurological techniques to manage chronic pain has translated really well - somatic tracking and the like. I encourage you to check it out.

“Everyone is a 12 year old boy” applies to Trump more than anyone. He wants to “conquer” lands and resources because that’s what leaders in movies do, in fantasy worlds without diplomacy. After actually talking to EU leadership he realized blowing up all of our alliances might actually be pretty bad

Shhhhh just let him “chicken out,” or this TACO stuff is going to make him double down on every bad thing he would otherwise back away from.

This happened because European leaders showed him that the actual consequences would harm the US, which I presume his staff never told him.

for a certain type of Boston guy this is gonna cause incidents similar to when yet more conservative boomers find out that Bruce Springsteen is a lib

Good felafel should never be dry. Happy to dm you my recipe and offer tips

who decided to call it Secret Santa when Nondisclosure Claus was right there

Same. Charity starts local.

I was a a big softer world fan, also questionable content and dinosaur comics

Such a healthy realization, and so big of you to ask for help with it. Go you!

Good morning :)

It’s part of the post-Twitter healing process. The soul needs sleep to mend

I know it sucks that even good, previously totally normal uses of AI are facing backlash, but maybe blame the informed, technically literate people who spent the last few years poisoning the well, not the regular people who are suddenly wary of drinking the water.

Rargh. Ugh, I’m sorry you’re getting that noxious horseshit heaped on you. Deep breathes and sleepy puppies for support

when i was invited to the full panel interview for my job, i turned it down

i sent an email to the hiring manager & architect, saying i was honored that they would even consider me for this role of a lifetime, but i didn’t think i had what it takes just yet

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Update:

Both CBSA and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree are refusing to show any accountability for the Government of Canada detaining and interrogating a 95 year old Princeton law professor in what appears to be a politically motivated abuse of power

Learning the hard way that quietly walking away from awful behavior in government is terrible for democracy. Backing away in order to keep the grey area grey or to avoid awkward under orders defense arguments is not good enough. Policy changes and public condemnation is not good enough.

I don’t mind the idea of AI doing my dishes because that’s the stuff I want to be disrupted.

But it doesn’t have to look human to do this! Look at our little roombas. They do a good little job, and should they turn evil, and it would be hard for them to punch us in the face.

Murdoch, the Dismissal and my job in Japan Rupert Murdoch played a critical role in the Dismissal. He knew how to bring pressure on Kerr and provided strong support for Malcolm Fraser.

It's Whitlam season, enjoy.

(Additional context: article author John Menadue worked under both Gough Whitlam and Rupert Murdoch, so when he speaks... it pays to listen)
