Gilfoyle wouldnt try this hard

We are too far from exploring alternate economies. LLMs will not push us there, atleast not in their current state.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Microsoft is one of big ones to tank big if AI boom fizzles out.

He did use it as the opening line in his tweet, making it look like a statement he was making. No quotation marks around it or anything.

First, it is LLMs. Second, we can focus on both the technology and the error.

If not, the person that made the chart just got $1.5M

My company still has internal sites that work only on windows

Dumb is now 'we don't steal your data'

I got a 502 Bad Gateway for all our onprem SP sites for a few minutes last night, which is very unusual. Wondering if this had something to do with that.

> Everyone is talking about it, all the time, nonstop! How is that not a network?

Network effect in this context means the product is successful primarily because everyone else is using it. Not easy to compete with Instagram/Tiktok because you need most users to use your new app, not just a few. Amazon can only deliver fast because they have a huge delivery network, because most people use Amazon.

No such effect or moat exists for AI companies. In fact, it is the opposite. Same prompt will give you very similar results in any AI product.

You can't compete with amazon now, even with a better product. But you can easily kill AI companies if you have a better model.

I am curious. What are a few examples?

Solid advice

media and container queries. Pseudo selectors

Using AI for writing emails is kind of crazy. Why not just email the prompt, the other side can decode it

> I'm pretty sure a team of two or three senior developers with great domain knowledge would be competitive with a team of 10 average devs.

This has always been true. LLMs didn't change that.

I used to do at-home computer troubleshooting as a part time job when was in college. Most of time it was just opening up the casing, dusting it and reattaching all the parts/reinstalling Windows that did the trick. 90% of time it was just RAM popping out a bit. But in rare cases, it was the components themselves. I used to rely of these shops in the city (Hyderabad, India) that fixed motherboards etc. really cheap and relatively quickly (less than a week most of the time). People that worked there weren't engineers or anything, more like tradesmen. It was amazing to see them work.

Adobe claims Firefly is trained only on creative commons and the images they own

Even Svelte is going to be 10 years old in about a year.

Dependencies issue is not exclusive to frameworks. If you don't want to reinvent the wheel, there's no way around using packages, even if you go with vanilla JS.

My policy is to type only when the typescript compiler yells at me.

How does tailwind remove cascading? It's just css classes.

I am going to do one with Homer Simpson falling down a cliff hitting everything on his way

Birdcage is my favourite. Mississippi Burning is another one.

Such a great actor.

Users don't care about tech stacks. But they care about their experience and tech stacks can definitely influence that.

What's the point of Chrome-only css.

Well done!

I created a keyboard-based local storage based time and to-do tracker 3 years ago.

I was starting out in web dev and wrote it for my own use but moved on to other stuff - don't think I even wrote any media queries. I think the codebase since, but just remembered I had it deployed on an internal site for testing - hackily removed a few things from it from the compiled JS and put it on Github.

And we liked it

IMO you can rely on GenAI confidently for only these two out of the 7 tasks.
