4 minute old account, wonder what you should rename yours to?

Which to me puts it firmly in the slop category. Why do people think this is good?

Doesn't this assume those people don't just find other jobs and continue to pay taxes?

Where does it end though? The most optimistic (or pessimistic, depending on your viewpoint) say that AI will be able to replace or displace lots of professions. Is there enough work for everyone? Is there enough meaningful work for everyone? A software engineer or accountant making ~150k a year will find another job that pays less, so he will also pay less taxes. What's going to happen in the short term, inbetween this shift? A bunch of unhappy unemployed people leaning on social systems. That seems pretty devastating. Who is going to come out as winners?

Probably best to read dickens to see the future.

Just remove the moral obligations the penning class felt they had in the 19th century.

Owning, not penning.

Expect more populist politicians promising things they can’t deliver and blaming whatever out group they dislike.

Apple is like the Billy Mitchell of computing. Just waited for them to beat it before announcing the gains they were sitting on.

Funny, wasn't getting the reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell vs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell_(gamer)

THE (Col.) Billy Mitchell was actually a badass. His time in Alaska alone, running telegraph lines in the wilderness, made him a legend even before his forward thinking during WWI and beyond.

Does this imply they faked all their benchmarks?

Sounds like both models are guessing at what you want and one guessed right. Or you can just tell it...

> I have tried many ways to get it to stop writing in its stupid punchy linked-in marketing-team voice, and I can't.

One of them writes better by default. One of them doesn't. That's the thing.

With enough steering, I can get a cheap low-capability model to do things correctly in most cases as well. But why bother?

You can tell it to write high quality code, to test things, and to come up with a proper rollout plan of a feature. Or it could just do it by default.

I know where I'm putting my money in that case.

All books are written, not all writing is for books.

famous? not sure about that, but they have the best SEO so it's always the goto.

There is sort of a file sharing community in Korea, and it is customary to encode links in base64 there.

I'm not really sure why they do that. It's not even a tech-related community. Anyway, they tell you to use base64encode.org.

More stable because its vastly less popular.

And if you thought the GitHub actions hybrid mix of JavaScript templates embedded in yaml was a nightmare, I have bad news for you with respect to ADO pipeline configuration documents...

Yeah I went through hell migrating everything from ADO to GH Actions a year or so ago and even after all this I'm not even slightly close to wanting to go back

No it uses cloudflare primitives

Incorrect. You can host it on workerd on your own servers. No Cloudflare required.

Don’t the docs say running on wrangler is not for production use? Or am I missing something?

wrangler is a development tool. You wouldn't want to run dev mode in production.

But workerd can be used directly without wrangler, and is production-capable in that format.

Unfortunately we did not have time to put together example configs for this before launch (I wish we could have delayed, it was out of my hands), but we will be doing so soon.

Mentioned in the readme here:

Appreciate the correction, thank you

Reading this made me start to remember how my thinking changed around expensive/elaborate gear and art.

When an artist performs a gig or releases an album, no one really remembers or connects with the fact that the audio went through some insane signal chain, no one at their gig would hear the difference between a $500 guitar and a $12,000 guitar.

What resonates with people and what people will remember is the writing, the performance, the story, the energies... Everything else is the 0.1%, and yes it can stack but it's still on the peripherals.

Everyone I respect in the arts has done the full bell curve, started out with crappy fundamentals -> gear will solve all my issues -> gear is marginally important but the fundamentals were always key. It's really interesting to me to see people I should expect to be on the other side of the bell curve still obsessing with marginal gains.

My favourite movies, I couldn't even tell you what it was filmed on, and it probably could have been filmed on a range of comparible mediums and I would have never known.
