So tired of Google AI confidence in BS’ing me, I had to read the manual so what is the point of this (it’s not 26” and the explanation doesn’t make sense)
TIL: Never turn a lawn mower on its side to clean underneath. Motor oil can flow into the air filter and carburetor
you know what could be ironically fun? Marc being the first human fully replaced by an AI chat bot, never say no to an interview, 24/7 omnipresent, no sick days, paid with NFTs

While the industry is pouring resources into programs without GC (rust), I think the Jane Street OCaml folks have it figured out with OxCaml.
Almost all your code paths are cold and GC is net positive. 1% of your code is performance sensitive. Don't create GC pressure there.

On Hantavirus: a (non-technical) thread.
Disclaimer: I am a biology PhD, but not virology/epidemiology. Husbandman is a virology PhD. But I’m told I’m good at communicating science, so here’s my take.

So happy to see Paula from Chile 🇨🇱 win the Anthropic hackathon with Maieutic
Chile has serious talent, and we keep proving we can build great things with AI
Bronze: Maieutic by Paula Vasquez-Henriquez from Chile
An educational coding tool that requires you to think before you type. Students can't write code until they can explain what they're building and why.

prediction: the only llm models that will survive are the open-weight. Why?
Trust: closed-weights models output quality can vary based on business (providers) needs. By contrast, open ones can be ran locally or in a cloud provider with some warranties and quality consistency
Consult doctor, not this guy
Sleeping is an active process, not a passive one, that is key to get your max potential in whatever you are working on
Feeling that sleep-deprived you is doing a wonderful job is in part because your brain is failing or partially getting shutdown
This is at once true but also unfathomable to me personally
I took modafinil just to stay awake longer to be able to turn the momentary crystalline structures I had in my brain into lines of code before sleep or human distraction turned it to grains of sand
I love coding but I love coding with AI even more. I speak it listens and we create. I see the structure and it is built.
There is no more powerful an experience to me than that.
Why stopping in a C compiler?
The definitive trust test: A Boeing 737 Max flight controller firmware in a flight that you board
After experimenting a lot with agents to code I have some conclusions:
They are really good writing code patterns that were written by someone else in the past. So you don’t have to deal with known problems. This is good for productivity, it’s like using libraries but next level
Last night our master room didn’t get heated at all but the first floor did (fortunately). Turns out the first floor thermostat is basic enough to just do one thing: Meet the desired target temp.
Before finding this I took a look at everything else:
* Is a wiring issue? tester said it was OK
* Is a Heat pump problem? The good oldie was heating
* Is a O/B reversing valve misconfiguration? On cool / On heat didn’t change the outcome
After moving all the possible knobs I found the one that turned the pump on (Compressor Min Outdoor Temp)
The real issue here is I got NO feedback, warning, anything from ecobee UI/App, it just didn’t work, no reason given. Please @ecobee do better
