Today I Noticed: that any 2FA app should list the codes as an LRU cache.

When we get light AR glasses (or neural implants), maybe DLSS-neural-like rendering can make our interior decoration look better than it actually is. It's a bit dystopian. Live in a brutalist apartment, render it as fluffy unicorn cloud room.

For the first time in my career, the change of pace in a sector of technology (AI), both at the model level and at the agentic engineering level, is beyond the pace where I can keep up and still do my work. So I just have to be ok with letting it all sort out on its own.

I think there's ways of alleviating. You could do a lot of duck lining to get all the tasks aligned or keep them all orthogonal. Or you try to have agents coordinate other agents and just be ok with the waste.

For now, I'm ok with being the bottleneck, if it saves headache later

Right now, the terrible thing about (the way that I) vibe coding is that it destroys my attention and focus. It currently sits in that uncanny valley of too long for me to just sit there, and too short for me to commit to something else.
Maybe the only jobs humans can do better than agents are the ones that can't be expressed as a loop.

As it turns out, @sridatta told me that the first people to lose their jobs to AI are often AI researchers. Well no. It was linguists first, and then AI researchers.

I wouldn't feel bad for them. AI researchers are laughing all the way to the bank.

The entire reply thread is about how AI is changing the economy--not just knowledge work. And both AI skeptics and AI evangelists are asking each other where the economic lift is.

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this..... But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software. I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping

I'd always thought the water consumption argument against AI and crypto was performative. It never seemed like it made sense.

How thirsty is AI?

How much water does AI use?

It's been a quiet revolution for functional programming. Lots of ideas from pure functional programming have been making their way into mainstream languages without much of a fuss. On one hand, that's a great thing, but on the other, I don't think it gets the credit it deserves.
