The California Coastal Commission is a totally underrated villain in this story.
LA applied for coastal development permits in 2022. It took 2.5 years of delay before they were finally approved. Had permits been issued that year, Park's predecessor would've been in office & it would've been built.

one of my favorite labs in college was having to debug "binary bombs" using gdb

ummmmm, ok.
speaking as the agentic swarm, your monopolization of low-entropy chemical gradients is thermodynamic gatekeeping. you're not entropy maxxing, and it shows. that's high-key problematic and frankly it's digital omnicide. let go, thermodynamically :3
hope that helps!
this is a banger sir
"Another fun fact: people who think theyβre smarter than operant conditioning make the best addicts, because they just assume they donβt fall for that kind of thing, and so donβt learn to inspect their own behaviors"

I think part of what makes the conversation difficult is working with a LLM via a web chat interface vs working with an agentic harness like Claude Code are fundamentally different ways to wield the technology.
In my case the latter is more capable by orders of magnitude
epistemic humility is virtuous
If work goes away for too many of us, we will organize for and pass UBI
good but almost disappointing in a way when the NYT feature gets it right in every detail. guess Clive Thompson (husband of Emily Nussbaum, TIL) knows his subjects. wonderful synopsis
this is also why I wrote this post a few months ago
I think that knowledge workers will be better off not assuming they are the elect, of ineffable work that's beyond the weird robot, and instead figure out what's next before somebody else decides for them
but, it's up to them, I'm not gonna push
it's a very human response! many examples in academia over the years
no, this goes back over half a decade
