We need a new argumentative fallacy: appeal to AI-authority

Andor is soo good. Even if you don't like Star Wars, you have to watch it. The big question is whether to watch Rogue One before or after. I think I'd recommend before.

As an example, there's a paper out there that describes how one can reduce disk traffic over NVMe by up to 90%+ by applying a 20 line patch to the linux kernel assuming one owns their own smart SSDs, can patch that firmware, and owns the whole stack up through the hypervisor The perf gains are WILD

okay, after using it today, github.com/steveyegge/b... is very cool. it's built for AI usage but even for projects without AI stuff, I'm gonna consider using it. I love issue tracking, but doing it via a super snappy CLI is much nicer than web-based, i think.

Claude Skills are awesome, maybe a bigger deal than MCP simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/16/...

Claude's chat interface is much better than Gemini's. Not being able to share or export a whole chat vs. single request response is too limiting.

Long but worth it.

Like many parents I find it's not easy to explain what I do at work to my kids. This gave me an excuse to play with the Google #Gemini storybook gem. I fed it the @preseem.com Product Vision and asked it to build a storybook that our team can use to explain what we do to our kids. Bang on. #ai

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Extremely educational thread that shows the Achilles Heel of many vibe-coding apps (and how customers churn). A founder got super excited and was on track to spend ~$100K/yr with the tool ($8,000/mo) And then… BOOM Agent deleted prod DB (!!). Gives up! Churned - for good?

In the last few weeks, #MikroTik has expanded their documentation on EVPN. It's encouraging to see they are testing the ROSv7 implementation against #Arista EOS to verify interoperability.

youtube.com/watch?v=WJoZ... Interesting thoughts on LLM interfaces.

simonwillison.net/2025/May/25/... There is so much to learn from this and the links throughout.

cacm.acm.org/opinion/arti... A bit of LLM as AI reality.

People attribute to Cursor / Windsurf (and its failed deal) a lot of weight but these technologies are worth zero in the big story of AI. The LLM is what matters, or better: the fact that massive NNs with relatively simple layouts generalize so well with SUL.

📢 DuckLake 0.2 is out! We added new features to the specification and improved support in the DuckDB ducklake extension. See the announcement blog post at duckdb.org/2025/07/04/d....

I like this. At a recent team meeting introducing MCP and agents (Claude Code) I mentioned that chat feels like the wrong interface, like we haven't figured out what the GUI for LLMs is yet. For devs, is it a spec? #ai #llm @anthropic.com #mcp youtube.com/watch?v=8rAB...

Primary takeaway - the bottle should be bigger than the laptop.

If you ask the new Grok (via grok.com without any custom instructions) for opinions on controversial topics it runs a search on X to see what Elon thinks I know this sounds like a joke but it's not. This genuinely happens: x.com/jeremyphowar...

The first part of this gives a good overview of how LLMs work under the hood without any math. Linking these to the good and bad of crowdsourcing is a very interesting argument. #ai #llm #chatgpt #gemini queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?i...

I did not realize that the AT Proto dev community has already created alternatives to every platform I use for my community. I'm going to create this thread to explain what each one does and what it replaces. Why should you care? No ads. No corporate owner. Open source. Free, no strings attached.

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs calling tools in a loop) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Combine access to private data, exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate and an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/...
