How old is your mother? Iirc PSEN1 correlates to very early AD, like late 30s early 40s. My dad had full blown AD at 65, with serious cognitive decline starting at 63, and that felt very early to us all. My dad had no…
The tech co I work for just massively scaled token usage after the copilot price changes. If there was a chance for ai to replace anyone, it's gone now.
This is funny, i get it; but the idea that using LLM's precludes thinking is silly. We're doing some heavy lifting over here. There's a lot of noise around pie in the sky ai show n tell projects, but then there's…
This also reflects the failings of the teachers to teach in a way that is conducive to learning given the current cultural landscape.
It's wild; at my shop in Silicon Valley they dropped us from unlimited use to 60% prem budget on copilot. People are walking around like zombies.
Yea, math is a crazy thing. just "a tool to solve problems" is a wild take. On one extreme, there's an edgy but logical / plausible hypothesis that we live in a universe of mathematical objects, and at the other, math…
Man, I just got into a killer flow with it, minimal guardrails, having it doing lots of independent work all the way to task completion, and my company dropped our prem token allowance to 60%. I was hitting 2k+%. So I…
I've been telling less experienced engineers: The moment you hit submit on your change, it is your code not claudes, you wrote it, you are responsible for: understanding it, explaining it, supporting it.
There's tons of things I like about llm's, but I'm sick of Ai show'n tells. It feels like I'm in kindergarten.
"One of the things that LLMs do is plagiarism as a bigger scale."
Ah, I'm one of the outliers, I have more friends now and a richer, healthier social life than I've ever had before. I'm 45, I do have a 7yo kid and wife, two dogs, a full time job, just like everyone else on here for…
There's some analogy around learning to play a song without using your ears and painting without using your eyes. Like the silliness on the drawing side is obvious. The benefits gained by using your ears to learn music…
I also havent noticed the degradation and I'm not on Claude Code. I'm on week 4 of a continuous, large engineering project, C, massive industrial semiconductor codebase, with Opus, and while it's the biggest engagement…

Seems like my co is shedding US jobs and moving them to Taiwan, and paying up to 75% less in salary.
Where does this money go? I see that some is lost value, like in the downed aircraft, but what groups are profiting off this crazy flow?
Must be a fun time to work on open problems. I published my graduate research close to a decade ago, often find myself fantasizing about tackling open problems with Claude.
Yes! Also shopping is an insidious thing. Now it's no longer a shopping tool. For me a common flow would be like, 1) think about some thing 2) instantly I'm scroll shopping somewhere 3) remember I'm too frugal to buy…
I went *browserless on my device and it has solved my screen compulsion issues with very little downside. It has been the most effective step I've ever taken. I realized I really love msg'ing friends, having access to…
honestly, you couldn't even build your own house.
I knew about this but never attended, so cool!
There's a great discussion with Stephen Wolfram on the Sean Carroll podcast. Listening to it made me think very highly of Wolfram. He's a free thinking, eccentric, mathematician, scientist; who got started doing serious…
Recently I went back to The Ecstasy of Communication by Jean Baudrillard which I couldn't get through back in the day when I first picked it up. I used Haiku to walk me through the first chapter, and Haiku would not…
If you tell your doctor that a parent had polyps removed (say, recently), that will give you your best chance of getting one. Most likely, if you're in an even remotely progressive area, your doc wants you to have one,…
(In the semiconductor industry) We experienced brutal layoffs arguably due to over-investment into Ai products that produce no revenue. So we've had brutal job loss due to Ai, just not in the way people expected. Having…
