onoesworkacct··on Gemini 3 Flash: Frontier intelligence built for speed
Missing a lot without claude code tho
onoesworkacct··on Working quickly is more important than it seems (2015)
You're not always doing something groundbreaking. Sometimes you're just building a thing that needs to exist. People who build houses don't obsess over this shit, they just build a house and then someone moves into it.

I wage a constant battle of motivating myself because my neurology craves novel sources of dopamine but my job is doing the needful 90% of the time.

the next generation of humans growing up will not even care whether media is real or not any more. The saturation of AI content and FUD around real content is going to blur the lines to the extent that there's no point even caring about it. And it's an intractable problem.

hopefully this leads to greater importance of seeing things with your own wetware.

There's definitely an analysis on the net somewhere, can't remember the details though.

That ship has sailed long ago.

I'm rooting for biological cognitive enhancement through gene editing or whatever other crazy shit. I do not want to have some corporation's AI chip in my brain.

onoesworkacct··on The paradoxical efficient market hypothesis (2024)
Information asymmetry is a thing, but EMH nominally handles that; prices quickly shoot up to the max any one guy is willing to pay

Suppose we have a stock and a bunch of investors. All of the investors have some set of information implying a value v. Except, one investor is smarter and finds an edge (rise of AI or whatever) which implies a value of 2v.

That investor will buy the stock any price up to 2v. The rest of the investors will be happy to sell at any price above v. Given unlimited money the price should stabilise at 2v very quickly.

However there are lots of real-world caveats like, not everyone has an infinite money glitch.. and there are probably second-order and third-order effects like some hedge fund notices the pattern and does XYZ which influences price... options make price a function of expectation of price, then the price of options is driven by the expected price of the same options near execution date... idk

onoesworkacct··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
How many customers watch each episode of popular shows? 100k+?

And we're talking a difference of ~7 hours of labor. $200 difference at most?

onoesworkacct··on ADHD drug treatment and risk of negative events and outcomes
ADHD isn't a personality quirk and also, it is fundamentally a disorder of regulation not attention. The education system (for all its drawbacks and inflexibility) works for most because they're able to regulate the urge to get up and climb random shit when they can't figure out how to start writing the answer to Q1 on the worksheet..

I also think its cope to take a disorder where a specific part of the brain tasked with very specific functions is physically less dense and performs than other people and go "ADHD isnt real he's just quirky!1"

onoesworkacct··on How to grow almost anything
If MIT were responsible, sure! But Notion is a $10b company that shouldn't be shitting up my device's free memory just to show a basic webpage. Very much the same deal with FB marketplace which is probably the worst offender.

Not everyone has a fast device also.

onoesworkacct··on EHRs: The hidden distraction in your doctor's office
There are a couple of SaaS products in Australia that do examination transcription.

I know of one practice that went all-in on the stuff. They had to re-hire their secretaries after their AI transcription recorded "this bone normal, no damage to this other area" but totally failed to mention that the first part of the sentence was "distal fracture to whatever", ultimately failing at it's most basic bloody function.

I'm pretty sure the founders are not doctors but tech industry types, who figured that there was some non-zero error rate and just like, collectively shrugged at the consequences.
