At cheeky face value, a town isn t enough, since we have done that before and we got a bomb instead. But if they are better than any geniuses we ve had so far, maybe? Anthropic s Dario Amodei has been one of the few tech CEOs that has done well with his predictions from his essay [ ]
Brokerage Bonuses are extremely undervalued and can make 5k to 30k/yr for middle class households and cut off multiple years of work, with very little risk and with a very small time commitment. This figure from the Richmond Federal Reserve shows the average (mean?) households assets in 2023. Note that the amount of cash+stocks ranges [ ]
For 15 years, I hopped AWS accounts annually to keep my websites on EC2 s free tier. When Amazon finally closed that loophole last year, I decided to let Claude Code handle the migration, unsupervised. The EC2 micro free tier where I kept some personal websites and git repos were free for one year, renewable , as [ ]
Physical high entropy processes like paint splatter, shotgun blasts, rain, snow, etc have fine grained randomness and second order or higher fine grained randomness and second order or higher uniformity. There is much art that reinterprets this. Programs that generate this with lines or dots resemble it but often lack the physical complexity that creates [ ]
Since this is an anti-SEO place, I ll start by saying what worked for my system: Here s how I figured it out: First, Verify the problem Without stopping ollama.service, I couldn t restart nvidia_uvm: You might or might not have ollama installed, but if you re doing LLM work there s a decent chance you do. I read various [ ]
I ve spent over a week with Claude Code on Audio apps via flutter and feel like it s now a reasonable time to share my experience. The project I wanted to revive/port an old music/piano note teaching app I had. That ended up being too complicated due to the game elements and Claude s lack of visual [ ]
I came across another unsigned int issue a year or so ago and for some reason I didn t post it. Maybe I was embarrassed? Anyway that Mike is dead now, mostly replaced by new cells, so I m posting it. It s not a totally surprising either but I ll post it anyway. If you have an unsigned [ ]
The AI-assisted coding environment is moving so fast, it all feels like a blur. While there is most definitely hype, there is also no lack of critics and skepticism. The top-down push of AI has made it sort of something that not all employees and coders want to use by definition. Yet it is clear, [ ]
A frugal mindset can develop anti-frugal tendencies, or cheapness , that optimize for lower cost at the expense of too much time or accepting poor quality or discomfort. True frugality should consider the tradeoff beyond all of these factors. Personally, I still struggle with analysis paralysis in the metaphorical candy aisle. It s helped to have a [ ]
The Fourier transform allows one to take a time domain signal and turn it into frequencies with no loss of information. It’s still at the front end of the vast majority of speech and audio ML systems, despite some pressure from learned kernels like TasNet. The complexity of the fast fourier transform is N log [ ]
