Today is my 39th birthday. During this, my 39th year of life, I lost an uncle, then my grandfather, then my father. Amidst all of that, I stepped down from running the company I started over 7 years ago. In spite of these big changes, I’m the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

We have AGI now, but I still need to fill out this paper form and physically mail it back to the bank.

I think the hardware lottery is more fundamental than the bitter lesson in machine learning.

The hardware lottery causes the bitter lesson. Based on conversations, it seems that not enough people are aware of this paper:

Dealing with financial and insurance co's after my dad passed away has shown me, once again, how I live in a tech bubble.

Paper mail or phone calls, only. If electronic forms available, they only work on internet explorer or something.

After coding with AI a decent amount in the past few weeks using Cursor, Claude, and now o1, my current assessment is that they are like overconfident undergrad research assistants. They are correct 25% of the time, but think they're correct 100% of the time. But still useful.

dafuq?
hardmaru got banned from bsky because he didn't believe someone who claimed that there's a sentence that, if you write it here, you get insta-banned. So he tried it, to prove it's not true.

Turns out the claim was right.

It's a ban that happens even with all moderation filters disabled.
turned off all the @moderation.bsky.app filters and I still can't view bsky.app/profile/hard... 's posts bc he got flagged doing a test. what's the point of algorithmic choice if ultimately a "moderation team" gets to decide what i see @support.bsky.team ?
