At some point in the early 1900's, someone poked holes in a punch card to create the first "computer code." This has been pretty universally accepted as a bad idea.

Hey @stkbailey! I recently read your article on Airflow's problems https://t.co/NPzdCXg25U and was wondering if I could grab a few minutes of your time? I'm working on an OSS Airflow abstraction and wanted to discuss it in comparison to some of the points you made :).

Stop what you’re doing and read this entire post on the GPT-4 code interpreter plugin. This is completely bonkers and is going to change everything.

A glib line I have said for years: the first AI designed to disemploy programmers was called a compiler. It worked very well and caused explosive growth in programmer employment.

i find that GPT4 acts as a cognitive energy augmentation. you tire less easily trying to wade thru drudgery. it’s not smarter than you, it’s just seen all the common failure modes ever and knows how to debug them

AI tech is creating entirely new creative workflows. NeRF's are 1 example I'm particularly excited about, & a company called @LumaLabsAI makes capturing them insanely easy. 🧵 Thread breakdown of workflow

Holy shit. GPT-4, on it's own; was able to hire a human TaskRabbit worker to solve a CAPACHA for it and convinced the human to go along with it.

Company accounts invariably have more than $250k in them; it’s where payroll comes from, as the first priority. All SVB’s customers did was “put their operating capital in a bank.” If banks that aren’t basically JPMC come to be viewed as uncertainties we’ve got problems.

There’s love, there’s true love, and there’s “I’ll drive you to LAX” love.

If you are financially secure for a few years, this might be the best time to start a tech company in the last decade.

I’d say for me it’s the Andrew Huberman -> Joe Rogan -> Jordan Peterson pipeline. At least that’s what YouTube seems to think.

Incredibly based HN comment. https://t.co/pQ0kBvQnO2

But twitter has taken 13 billions in loans. Do the company’s value at this point is soundly in write off territory. 3/

My estimate was that twitter real value was around 25 billion dollars at the price of acquisition. The hopeful argued that the 50% staff loss was survivable, I would say that took another 5 billion out. The current reported loss levels are at best a fire sale, 1/

This is the last straw. I give up. You can find a link to my new Mastodon profile on my site. https://t.co/bbmZ4yvAJH

https://t.co/YAe6jpn6Eo this is the neediest and most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen a social media company do. Like… how bad ARE your numbers if you’re trying to plug holes in such a petty way?

@Carnage4Life Counterpoint: @pornhub absolutely should have a Spotify Wrapped style end of year recap.

Honestly a pretty good call
