Have we all forgotten Tim Ferriss' book 'The 4 Hour Work Week'?

It was enormously influential and was likely involved in every one of these failed entrepreneur's ventures

This discussion reads like 'staying inside from 2019-2022 changed social structures' without saying COVID once

I suspect I am financing this, both directly and indirectly, and I don't feel as though these actions represent my values or interests.

I think this person is asking the most effective entity they can find. Anthropic's offerings are better than the competition. CC and MCP came out of of their labs, and everybody scrambled to copy or adopt them. Their models consistently work better than the competition. Whenever a feature seems inevitable, they release a subtly polished version.

For years I struggled to answer "what company is Apple's equivalent in software?" and I think it might be Anthropic.

recently there has been a consistent drip of layoffs each day. they kind of chose all of the options

they are now estimating 18% instead of 17%

I think the AI angle is a fig leaf for perpetual mismanagement. Managers at Block privately complained there were a lot of people doing almost no work. Recently, teams have lost people one at a time, sometimes laid off the day after each other.

If they can organize employees to make more money, they will. But they can't and admitted it.

Or the wealth could accumulate in the hands of a few

After her quote about Christmas in Sacramento, I wanted to enjoy Joan so much. I discovered a scold instead. Her viewpoint is contempt, and its tiring (slouching). Sometimes its boring (a year of magical thinking). I found a guilty pleasure in her writing about Nancy Reagan, because I also despise Nancy Reagan.

The last time I tried to enjoy her was an essay criticizing the first carpool lanes in California.

I hope her work is lost to voices who see possibilities

i love this, thank you!

A typed execution graph for Go. You write functions with typed inputs and outputs—Docket infers the dependency graph, runs independent steps in parallel, and caches what you tell it to. It integrates with River and a number of data stores.

I spent a year attempting to adopt Temporal at scale, and 6 months trying to wrangle some multistep data enrichment and ML pipelines. This is what I wish I'd had with what I learned

He does deep research on topics and invites people who recognize his efforts and want to engage with an informed audience.

I think its important to include that Lex is laundromat for whatever the guest is trying to sell. Dwarkesh does an impressive amount of background and speaks with experts about their expertise.

This is amazing, thank you. I love the use of Ironridge rails for mounting

...then I read his bio

he lists "publicly confronted Apple at the European Commission's televised DMA hearing in Brussels on browser competition." as a highlight. lolol. Time to buy even more stock.

This idea is a whole genre of tech journalism. Its a honeypot for people with some specific bone to pick or ideology to evangelize.

I buy more stock every time one of these articles comes out, because the quiet part is 'Apple is still the best, and I can elevate my brand by criticizing it'

I'm saying the percentage of this appears different to me

I think the most amazing part of the comments is how much the sentiment has changed over the last 2 years. Is anybody else noticing this?

We're seeing the insect-ization of neural nets. Smaller specialists are evolving for their relevant tasks

I had a convo about law enforcement's tools with a California detective last month. He was very clear its only a question of resources, and if the federal gov't is motivated to find them, they will.

How are those two claims coherent? They aren't obviously related

I would like it if the NYT was willing to be this plain about the news. They have real journalists who do real work searching for the truth and lose our trust with the delivery. Its infuriating to watch Trump use the Cohn, Moses, and fascist playbook and watch the media pretend like his words are anything but a tool toward those ends.
