Unfortunately LLMs are magic to them.

When you lack a first principles understanding of how something really works, you will bolt on hacks and duct tape on the wrong approach.

Also, that study is extremely dubious/barring on fan-fiction.

Homer (if he was even a person) recited oral epic poetry (that we've lost most of) and we've written down an extremely lossy version of it.

Why should we take any of the mythical character's interactions with mythical gods as any insight for the brains of real humans???

It'd be like year 4000 historians citing World of Warcraft claiming the Lich King is a very obvious example that humans lack an internal monologue because he was not able to distinguish his own motives/actions between Ner'zhul/Arthas (both spiritual entities inhabiting the "Lich King" body).

Stopped reading right there.

Discerning a camera taken image of an image is typically very very easy. The collors/exposure/etc will all be obviously wrong in ways to a human, even without doing any analysis.

Typesafe.AI sounds like some typescript/structured output type of tool…

What even is “system one” ?

IMO the product/tech is really there, just needs better communication.

The world: Cool, can you rewrite this email with a professional tone.

I fully intend to pay my transportation costs myself.

It’s not about getting a free ride, it’s about being able to get to work while sleeping, saving money on housing, and pocketing the difference.

The places where people want to live have no land or archaic zoning laws.

I wouldn't want to live two hours away, but if I could sleep/work during my commute, and pay $400/month for it, I might do it. My housing costs would be like less than a third of living in the metro where I work.

Supercommuting becomes slightly more palatable.

Yes, but good, standardized developer tooling is valuable.

Postman could’ve also been a “just use CURL and dump to JSON” for example.

I actually am bullish on this. Tmux and ssh are somewhat clunky and probably under utilized by most people. I struggle to find commands, navigate sessions, see history, and so on.

Also in an “agent” based world where you might ask an agent to execute things for you, how do you manage that context well beyond just giving it its own Tmux session to drive?

It’s a good idea, and I’m surprised no one’s built it sooner.

Providers change tokenizers all the time with model updates, and it's often not even possible to query/figure out how text is tokenized without actually just sending the LLM a request.

Just switch to charging for bytes of intelligence. Please. Claude Shannon figured this out decades ago.

Even before this AI wave, it was common for me to see spinning dev environments for like $3k/month that hadn't been used in months on AWS.

You would think they’d be more reflective and introspective about these brash moral decisions. Their product quality is akin to my CS capstone lab group.

The music is all just very average, it sounds like the most average song with the most average chord progression/drum pattern per genre.

I guess that makes sense if these are most likely next audio token predictors... but it'd be cool if there was a way to inject some type of creativity/novelty into these, or at least tune up the temperature.

Everything so far just sounds like stock library music to me.

If it's not running fully end to end in some secure enclave, then it's always just a best effort thing. Good marketing though.

whisper: There is no linter.

There is no unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin and there won't be, for years, if ever. Just like the way "FSD" is not fully self driving and likely never will be.

Saying the "boomers ruined everything" is not sophisticated, we can't move forward from a blame game, we have to diagnose the actions and actors that implemented them, but of course this is much more challenging.

Ancedotally, I know plenty of poor boomers. Have you seen who works at a Dollar Tree lately?

The popular dialogue that boomer=rich and greedy, millennial=poor and exploited is not productive, it's a fabricated generational war that distracts us from the real issues.
