From The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper:Comments
One shows a parchment-maker scraping dead flesh off a stretched hive laborious, meticulous piece-work. Behind him, another hide waits in a bath of urine, where it softened, losing hair and tissue, for about a week.
Wow, writing materials used to be super gross.
…
The only downside was that, like the parchment-maker's hides, the papermaker's linen rags also needed long soaking in vats of human urine. Like many premodern manufacturers, both depended on buckets of piss. -

And it may of course be the case that AI has been overestimated. That we shouldn’t believe the hype. But what happens then? Does the bubble burst? As Gita Gopinath pointed out after leaving the IMF, a dotcom-sized adjustment to US equity markets would today inflict losses of $20tn on US investors and $15tn on the rest of the world. That is 70 per cent of US GDP and 20 per cent of the rest of the world’s. More than enough to spark a severe recession.

Thing learned from the guy: The Code of Hammurabi (which I misheard as kohlrabi and Pavarotti) dictated prices for various services. Also, if you accused a guy of a crime and could not prove it in court, you got executed.Comments

This is about DHH, but I found this to be the best explanation of dogwhistling in general:Comments
He [DHH] skirts right up to the edge. When he says that it’s grotesque that other people are prevented from advocating that I should be physically assaulted – he’s made it loud and clear to me that he hates me, that he doesn’t want me to exist. Other people can’t hear it. That’s a dog whistle.
He has never had social credibility with me, so I sometimes forget that he does have a lot of social credibility. It’s a lot of power, albeit with a relative niche. People loved that guy the way they love other smart-esque didactic assholes like Steve Jobs.
Ask a random bystander to adjudicate this and I’m in trouble.
That bystander will find this to be impenetrable. It takes forever to explain. David can bat his eyelashes, and say he’s just raising “reasonable” concerns. In the end I’d be asking this bystander to decide who deserves more benefit of the doubt: is it the rich, charismatic, famous guy or the histrionic, weirdo, gender deviant?25
He has a lot of social credibility, and he exploits that fact.
Imagine if Jobs had used his credibility to move against immigrants the way he did against Flash? Developers would be flooding the App Store with ICE collaboration apps. -

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.
Even though it's not the most useful to imagine a condition we're so far away from: If labor were actually organized, we could have a general strike to prevent these mass abductions from being normal. -
Today, I saw an A.I. code review agent say that two blocks of code were duplicates. It cited the line numbers, and oddly, the two code blocks were of different size, and they intersected each other.Comments
They weren't duplicates. Normal programming would have no problem figuring this out. - Comments

Update on that’s last post: My answer was wrong! You have to think about what the other guys will think as result of what your guy thinks. I did not think they’d make the kids go that far.Comments
