I will have to read this. looks like it will deepen and complicate my sense that 1 billion monthly active users is a very important thing to take into account when thinking about the trajectory of AI

Bakker's thesis – for over two decades – has been that human minds exist and thrive in a particular cognitive ecosystem, which we are in the process of destroying by introducing out-of-distribution entities.

oooooh

lmao I think I am professionally obligated to watch this 50 minute presentation from 2020 on tooltips

funny how this post is itself an excuse not to think about this any further

it's funny, it’s not like crypto is the only tech wave in recent memory. there are SO MANY examples of overhyped tech that still panned out: the web, digital music, social media, mobile, cloud, streaming video, e-commerce, EVs. why is crypto the comparison?

I mostly argue online to figure out what my own opinion is

Our grasp on reality is slipping. The response rate to the survey behind the unemployment rate (and the rest of the household survey) is now lower than during the pandemic. The decline in response rates during the first year of the Trump Admin 2.0 was larger than at any time outside the pandemic.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

“.. With the vacancy-to-unemployed ratio now below 1.0, bargaining power is again shifting back to capital and away from workers. .. This is a marked contrast with an overall economy that is running hot.” @elerianm.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/298a...

uhh TIL

was too cool for goose island for a while but sofie is fantastic

??????

“Compared to the Qwen3 series, the post-training performance gains in Qwen3.5 primarily stem from our extensive scaling of virtually all RL tasks and environments we could conceive.“ probably a useful guide to what the American frontier labs were doing 6 months ago qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen...

people must be clicking these articles like crazy because bloomberg is putting out a new one every day. and the photo lmao. a free ad (the investor thinks application software is in trouble but infra and security are ok for now)

dang

I checked my mail for the first time in like two weeks and discovered there is a senate primary in a month that will presumably decide who our senator is. insane that there is so little discussion of this race. maybe the pritzker coronation of stratton settles it

welcome to the bathroom

this is great. he’s so mad

is anyone going to tell Ed their enterprise customers are paying per token? not content to be wrong about the future, Ed is now innovating by making wrong predictions about the present and the past

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape. After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

seems like we’re way overdue for a terrible comedy film where a guy decides to let an LLM tell him what to do at all times. how has this not happened yet

I sure hope so because I’m still spending a hell of a lot of my time on docs and UIs

I’ve been hoping LLMs will disproportionately benefit smaller teams and put downward pressure on firm size (companies are too big. big companies suck to work at) but maybe it’s only that small teams adapt faster. once bigcos figure them out, they make it possible sustain even larger bureaucracies

speaking as an expert, the intro to this book has the best survey of the attention studies lit I’ve read anywhere

it definitely sounded fake!

valentines day is a scam invented by big fuck

good q from the 7yo today: “if you’re pretending to be nice, aren’t you being nice?”

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

mega yikes. Ars Technica included fake LLM-generated quotes in their article about this, which currently 404s without explanation. author guesses it’s because his site blocks LLM scrapers, so their system made some up instead of erroring out

really neat looking. mitchell hashimoto posted it because it uses libghostty. haven’t tried any of these orchestrator GUIs yet. still doing everything in ghostty tabs with a pane for agent CLI, pane for editor, pane for terminal. tempted to build my own TUI around jj workspaces supacode.sh

TIL this setting on GitHub. kinda mad about the years of git commits could have contained my beautiful PR descriptions

my friend Hannibal is making his famous dead guy spaghetti

starting to feel this way about my sweet beautiful Helix editor 😢

baby's first earnest chiasmus

There is a v. generous prize ($7k) offered by @lpeproject.bsky.social for an article that advances the "Freedom from Want" agenda. Due in 2 days but worth an all-nighter for people working on the meaningful decommodification of access to basic needs in America. 👇 lpe.law.harvard.edu/fellowships-...

very fun: a full album of pop-ified Jessica Pratt covers. I have these songs permanently memorized because I used to use them as lullabies

don't sleep on random one-off ty segall projects that barely tour. see: Freckle. great album

I think people overdo it on "hm! convenient for you to believe that, therefore it must be disingenuous". it is far more convenient and effective to push a line you genuinely believe

this headline and the replies calling him an idiot for it are so funny: a) DOUTHAT BRINGS IT UP b) the centaur thing is not his idea, it's a cliche c) critics like Cory Doctorow use this analogy all the time pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

waaaaa

in this house we stan michael brough and wish him great success

HAHAHA

great article, great entry in this genre

great notes as always @danr.bsky.social — it would be helpful to include a mention of how close tsgo is to feature parity. I’m inclined to switch already
