We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.

The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.

We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

Every businessy guy I have ever met who finds out about Crash Course tells me that we're not just decreasing our revenue by not building a paywalled business, we're also decreasing our impact. This is wrong...and this video shows why.

I hate fraud so much. I was lucky to be raised by a deeply ethical dad who worked in the real estate industry in Florida and so was constantly bringing home stories of the worst kinds of guys getting rich in ways that they felt were "illegal but fine" but were actually the worst kinds of theft.

To improve the speed of my app, I will be randomly deleting 10% of my codebase and its included libraries, focused on areas I am least familiar with.

ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @jordan.har.band on advancing the proposal for RegExp.escape to Stage 4 today at TC39 🎉

It lets you escape arbitrary strings so they can be used in Regular Expressions.

RegExp.escape("(*.*)"); // "\(\*\.\*\)"

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

There is a lot that we could and should do to increase housing affordability, but the basic reality is that a nice suburban 1950s family house would be *tiny* by contemporary American standards which is why they were affordable on lower incomes.

I’ve always felt that the thoughts about tabletop idea development could be applicable to any creative endeavor that requires feedback.
I've been thinking a bit about playtesting in board game design🎲✂️.

I tend to see playtests as three-layered, where each layer serves a certain purpose for me; the intimate idea testing, the design test, and the public test.

But another theory behind crime’s growing importance may have little to do with total numbers at all

For reasons I explain in the piece, Britain appears to have lost faith in the ability of police to solve crime. Trust in police is plummeting - a pattern seen more starkly among women…

Data showing the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office, while the bottom 12% underperform the bottom 5% in-office, makes sense.

Top performers thrive with extra time from no commute, but underperformers struggle without oversight. RTO penalizes top talent for others’ inability.
