To me the most importing thing about today is that they knew what this would do to the market, and did it anyway.
If nothing else, that ought to tell you what time it is.

Faced a docker compose issue today.
None of claude 3.7, Gemini 2.5 pro, and o1 could solve it. All proposed obviously wrong solutions.
I need to get some time from my staff engineers now 😅

The creator of an open source genetic database is shutting it down and deleting all the data.
It turns out the largest use case for DTC genetic data was not biomedical research or research in big pharma, it was law enforcement.
Given the rise of authoritarian governments, the project is now dead.

"The risk/benefit calculus of providing free & open access to individual genetic data in 2025 is very different compared to 14 years ago."

It used to feel obvious: if something isn’t core to your business, just outsource it. Buy a tool. Subscribe to a service.
But lately, I find myself second-guessing that instinct. Especially with the way most SaaS products evolve.

I gave Google #Gemini Deep Research and #OpenAI Deep Research the same research task, both via their web interfaces (gemini.google.com Advanced and chatgpt.com Plus)
OpenAI's report was much more detailed, comprehensive, and I actually learned something new! Google's was very meh.

The truth is these systems are good enough that things are going to change in work, society & education. Things are already changing. And even if AI models don’t get better (and that seems to be a bad bet) we have a couple decades of absorbing what we have. That is a starting point for conversation.

Your smartwatch can’t send texts, respond to notifications or talk to iOS apps unless it’s an Apple Watch. No one is allowed to build a device that connects to an iPhone as well as an Apple device.

Two months later, this is still a blocker to use of complex functions/schemas in tool calling or agentic use cases with Google Gemini models.
Also, seems like `$defs` isn't supported?

I'm having a hard time believing all the vibe coding stories. It's been half an hour of me just copy/pasting unit test errors and blindly accepting the fixes on a basic django ORM unit test with mocks and Cursor (with Claude) still hasn't fixed the tests.

A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

Last yr in Prague at a Vietnamese restaurant, I noticed that banh mi, pho, kari, coffee were all kinda different from what we get in US Vietnamese restaurant.
Exploring why, I learned it's cos of how USSR made North Vietnam pay for the war. Free labor in Prague!
Didn't know this story! Smol 🧵
