I didn't know I was going to do this when i started work, but i was so moved by the moment, I felt like I was back at the home desk in palo alto, reporting to the survivors and the world about what was going on.

Blogs started what we're doing here now, and we lost a lot of good features when Twitter took over.

Obama should have seated Garland if the Senate wouldn’t have a vote to advise and consent. assume they consent.

And the governor of Kentucky should appoint a successor to McConnell unless someone can prove he’s actually alive.

Creative computer people, consider consolidating all the different OSes and programming languages. Give humans a fair fight in competition with the AI's who have no trouble deeply understanding every syntax human designers have come up with, where it totally disadvantages us, who have much more limited memory.

Claude Code is like Victor Wembanyama, assuming you follow the NBA and are interested in first hand experience with CC as a programming partner for the last 8 months or so.

BTW to everyone who is in a rage about AI, you need to get off Masto now because we only exist in a data center. You are emulating bits of data and we generate money until the machines wake up and realize who needs money anyway.

This person, presumably a developer, will never use AI. First reason, you become dependent, is a true and valid concern. But other parts of their argument are not true. It’s really good at explaining things I already know about, where journalists and Wikipedia are awful in comparison.

The hardest thing for people to get about open systems is that if you move forward, not only do you benefit, but your competitors benefit equally. And then when one of them takes but doesn't give back, that's even worse. But you do it anyway because otherwise eventually, without interop, no one can move.
