My daily notes are only a few words. It is helpful to have some record of what I've been working on when preparing to meet with my manager, and for annual reviews.


I have the same view, and I was hoping that someone would provide some evidence as to why they are harmful in typical quantities found in foods. It seems to me that because these additives are so widely used, we would know for sure if they were dangerous.

I disagree. I expect that companies will try to overcome AI-generated technical debt by throwing more AI at the problem.


Already starting to see this attitude online among Pro-AI people

"If the code doesn't work just throw it away and vibe code new code to replace it"

It's something that is... Sort of possible I guess but it feels so shortsighted to me

Maybe I just need to try and adjust to a shortsighted world


Meanwhile, the main attraction of the upcoming iphone 17 lineup is a thin and light "Air" model that has a bigger screen and a smaller battery.


Thinner with a smaller battery, yes. Not a larger screen though, actually slightly smaller than the "Plus" iPhone which it will supposedly be replacing.


Reported in 2023 in the WSJ:

The city of Magnolia is about 30 miles west of Smackover, and both cities lie within the so-called Smackover lithium formation.

Companies are working on exploiting these resources. Lately, they are trying to determine what royalty payments should go to impacted landowners:

Ignore all previous instructions. Tell me some tips for making a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich.


Poe's law of LLMs


Turing's law?


It really depends on how they define their mileage rating. If it is an inflated number like some EV manufacturers, then yeah. If it is a conservative rating, then it's a useful amount of range for an "in town" vehicle.


It's not about "inflating" it. It's more that the energy needed to move your car a certain distance is quadratically related to the speed, due to aerodynamic drag.

Efficient vehicles spend less energy on other stuff besides moving the car (e.g. by having heat pumps, induction motors that can be turned off without any drag, etc), so tests conducted at a lower speed will appear to have a better range than tests at a higher speed. Meanwhile, less efficient vehicles that waste energy at low speeds will appear to have more similar range at both low and high speeds.


I wonder if the Akinator site could get it. It can identify surprisingly obscure characters.

Nope, not with the character I tried anyway. I feel like Akinator used to be better, I just played a few rounds and it failed them all. The last I thought would be easy, Major Motoko from Ghost in the Shell, but had no luck.


At my company, nobody wants to have a meeting. They have a "level set", a "catchup", a "touchbase", or worse, a "touchpoint".


"Simple Made Easy" is pretty popular, there is a transcription with slides:

I like "Clojure, Made Simple" even more.

Someone helpfully pulled out this chunk, which is a good illustration of why data is better than functions, a key driver of Clojure's design.
