I mean emails were and still are a huge security risk. Sometimes I'm more scared of employees opening and engaging with emails than I am than anything else.

Apple is terrible for business. Every portal and product require a new apple id. apple store and apple business can't be same apple id. your device id can't be the same as either. Its madness. Last count i have 4 apple ids that I have to shuffle around.

Any of these abstractions are just temporary.

Floats break the basic expectation of == for round-trip verification, not due to programmer error, but because NaN is non-reflexive by spec. A bit-perfect round-trip can reproduce the exact bit pattern and still fail an equality check. The problem is intrinsic to the type, not the operator.

I love to build a plan, then cycle to another frontier model to iterate on it.


skills obviously are a temporary thing. same with teams. the models will just train on all published skills and ai teams are more or less context engineering. all of it can be replaced by a better model


My use of skills is more like prompt templates for steering as opposed to the traditional sense of the word skill

Agents will dominate the internet and open source code in a few years.


"Dead Internet Theory" is, even if it wasn't real 5 years ago, now hyperstitioned into truthfulness as the days go on.


Bonus for the use of the word "hyperstition". :)


I'm convinced more than 50% of "human" web traffic is already automated, blog posts, comments, social media, &c.


I like the idea of we will always need Pilots.

We have autopilot and i'm sure if we tried could automate take off and landing of commercial flights.

But we will keep pilots on planes long after they are needed.


The Airbus A320neo can already takeoff, ascend, cruise, descend, and land all by autopilot. It can even download your flight plan from the airline's servers.

But you still need the pilots because the system can only handle the happy path. As soon as there's any blockade or strong weather change, the autopilot will just turn off. And then you need the pilots.

I would say software engineering with AI is similar: The AI can handle CRUD just fine. But once things get messy, you need someone who can actually think.


To fly a plane with 300+ passengers you still only need 2-3 pilots. That has remained consistent with the invention of autopilot. While we might still need a few human engineer experts, maybe we only need a few for small to medium sized companies? That may not eliminate the career for the top % but it effectively does for the vast majority of engineers.


We do automate lots about flying, not just take-off and landing. It's why a 4-engine aircraft in the 1960s required flight crews of 6-8 people just to fly the thing when they can be routinely flown with 2-3 today.


Autolands absolutely do exist.


A lot of people running OpenClaw just have it generated and burning tokens for no reason. They just know more tokens = doing stuff so want to spend as many tokens as possible.
