I WOKE UP FEELING THE CHEESIEST

Hot take: if you squint really hard, interfaces in Go are basically Option types. Passing `nil` is the same as having a `None`.

Amazing how quickly we went from "oh no LLMs are going to flood the Internet with insecure code" to "oh no LLMs have discovered the internet was already flooded with insecure code"

If I had a nickel for every time a major security incident involving the number "4" impacted me, I'd have two nickels. Which is really not enough because it's log4j and now this "4 being a perfectly good production private key" bullshit.

I’m going to get ahead of things and disavow the Guild of Calamitous Intent, along with the Revenge Society.

Golang's intense focus on DX is something to be praised. go.dev/blog/interac...

Let’s go Dawgs, conquer the state of Alabama.

In case anyone wondered how I feel about AI being conscious or not:

so is nms the new skyrim or...? youtu.be/4IZ-uYvtH58

me with bama fan tears right now

BOBO YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS EAT THAT CLOCK

‘Sgo Dawgs

I love how fast things get added to this app.

Call me Hobbes ‘cause I’m fond of my DRAM.

SEC courting the @sickoscommittee.org viewership

This is silly, of course they’re meaningfully different. One is a cyberpunk-ish sci-fi story and the other is progression fantasy.

It’s because they’re sensitive.

“reposting” is v funny. you can have a whole relationship with someone online that’s effectively just printing out things they said and stapling them to the front of your house while otherwise never speaking to each other

Anyone else amused that Herbstreit’s mic is going haywire?

Does affogato count as iced coffee?

Delightful things happening on Nextdoor.

i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."

This was a good talk, you should read this.

My latest newsletter is a friendly bit of political advice for Democrats.

Also worth remembering that people are responsible for running these AI systems. They choose how to train them, how to run them, how to let them interact with their environments, how to use their outputs. Claims by AI companies that "AI will kill us all" are passive voice on steroids.

Slow down frontier model development. Bring open weights to current frontier. Build out local inference providers, stabilize hardware prices, focus on cost and token throughput for a bit. Get our software updated to handle what's being thrown at us. I would not mind spending a beat on distribution.

Oh this looks amazing.

Absolutely thrilled that the only approved AI tools at $DAYJOB are Cursor and these chucklefucks.

Independent of policy debates about existential risk, it is worth noting that even if AI development stopped today with the models we have right now, we would still have at least a decade of roiling change throughout much of work, education, and social life as harnesses improve & AI diffuses further

Hi, I didn't wanna make this video but I need to come clean about something. This whole time I've been a p-zombie with no phenomenal experience or interiority. I've been getting messages asking whether there's anything it's like to be me, and the answer is no. I'd say I'm sorry, but, well, you know.

best post of last 24h sorry yall

The hell kind of name is "Duo"?
