A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
this piece is really good, but also yikes!!! re: this style of journalism via "experiment"
mossy trees
weird mausoleum at oaks bottom with bird murals
line of jagged pier stumps in water
graffiti on wall with green black tag and little weird city in pinks and blues, through trees
Around Portland. The Springwater Trail is a treasure. Walked 12 miles, much of it wooded. 1/2
😆
there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
working at Amazon has never been pleasant, but this sounds like a new level of nightmare and thoughtlessness
sometimes you can't tell the difference between people suggesting transition and people suggesting you switch to linux
(probably because it's often the same people)
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
The biggest change in software development is not AI code, but a permission structure for disregarding quality in the pursuit of velocity
being Leo Tolstoy and writing down “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way” with an old-timey fountain pen and going “oh fuck, that’s a fucking banger”
Phone wallpaper if you want it
imagine if your heuristics for buying a train ticket were that the train has to be fast, new, and clean, but did not include "is going to the right place"
Hopefully, there will be more articles written as follow-ups to when CEOs lie about laying off workers by claiming AI is replacing them. The news media needs to stop doing stenography and free PR work for tech CEOs.
Last week before new job! Feeling mostly ready for the routine change
Dow futures chart in a sharp decline, with trump in a toy car photoshopped riding down the slope.
We-e-e-e-e-e!
losing an hour on International Women’s Day feels right
yes, it's people who have extracted value from ai vs. people who have only seen it extract value from them. i don't think people who have been exploited owe any grace to those evangelizing it to them, which is why i wish enthusiasts would leave the skeptics alone and stop acting like the underdogs
My uncle-est take is you should let marginalized people, folks with more skin in the game than you, have their crashouts in peace.
LETS TROT

It is February 2022. An autocrat has started a genocidal war of choice, destroying global oil markets in the process.

This is part of the reason they've never clicked for me.
I'm going to get distracted watching something load. Reading someone else's code is a high cognitive load chore for me. The way LLMs respond to correction creeps me out.
Also, I know how important the struggle is for learning and fun.
Walking around NW Portland in the early March mist, caught myself idly thinking "I love having legs" 🦵🦿
https://bsky.app/profile/why.bsky.team/post/3mgaqaaisfs2e Why @why.bsky.team Oh interesting, people who don't know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute. Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.
In my entire 15 year career in software development, “typing syntax into an editor” has never been the primary time sink.
Most of the time was spent on understanding what the software was actually supposed to do and to resolve conflicting requirements.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
One of the first things I learned as a professor is that accommodations don’t make the class/assessment easier — they just make it inclusive. Doing a moral panic on accommodations is just gross and ableist.
I really enjoy mapping my lived experience watching you wrangle exhausted humans to imagining your current baby animal situation
The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
he genuinely posts about Zohran as if he's his Marxist son
