  The thing to remember about CDU is their top priority is hating cities and the people who live in them. Their plan for Torstraße is pure spite, comic book villain shit designed to be twisted into anti-Grüne propaganda.

  LLMs make it easier to maintain two native mobile stacks than to use React Native (And the scaffolding this led Shopify to is another example of LLMs catalyzing good engineering decisions, e.g. decoupling biz logic from UI so it can run headlessly.) https://shopify.engineering/back-to-native

  Ceci n’est pas about LLMs 1. Develop a broad, varied base of knowledge 2. Load context by closely reading a small corpus, developing models of what they say and how they relate to each other 3. Clearly & narrowly state the problem 4. Set constraints on the solution 5. Decide how you will evaluate the solution 6. Explore solutions in parallel, being careful not to let the assumptions from one solution-exploration poison the others, but also surfacing discoveries between them 7. Check yo...

  Currently enjoying the "text extruding" LLM metaphor. Serve words like soft ice cream from a tap Dairy sourced from the Great Milk Sea, formed by pumping the teat of ~all human writing Ancient taboo prohibits going near the milky reservoir ourselves Instead we fitted every nook and crevice of it with hoses, each leading to a sort of N-inputs Chinese room Flavor is steered by a leprechaun in the room, doing his best to pick the right combination of hoses according to your...
