phone alarm:
- boring
- can snooze through it
- can silence it and keep sleeping

robo vacuum on a morning schedule:
- noise doesn’t let you fall back asleep
- makes you stand up and pick things off the floor
- makes your home cleaner!

interesting that bot accounts here look so similar to x: attractive female profile pics with real names. i guess ppl just plugged in a new api to the same algorithm

I like to visit the Google Cambridge office when visiting Boston for nostalgia reasons but this year, 2.5yrs after I left, it looks like everyone who could've invited me as a guest has now moved/quit. Tech turnover rates are crazy.

A lot of modern AI research feels kinda similar to operations research, in that:
- most interesting problems are in general NP-complete
- but approximate algorithms work remarkably well in real-world cases
- and we don't know what structures precisely make the approximations work

my experience using the new claude computer use
but also, some manual integration remains necessary. claude doesn't see a video, it sees screenshots with long gaps in between (the reference impl is like 2 seconds). how does claude know the application finished responding to the click, vs is still loading, vs the click didn't go through? it's hard
