It's Released: Max Workout 5.0 for iOS 26! apps.apple.com/us/app/max-wo…. I love the new look with Liquid Glass. Plus a new AI personalized training schedule and all new everything.

A potential origin of Cold Harbor in Severance. The first research station for the start of the Eugenics movement was in Cold Spring Harbor on the North Shore of Long Island. Kind of fits.

You can Crawl entire website with Claude 3.5 or GPT4 with @firecrawl 💯 Its open-sourced and code in github - Turn entire websites into LLM-ready markdown or structured data. Scrape, crawl and extract with a single API. - Crawls all accessible subpages and give you clean data for each. No sitemap required. - The greatest benefit is that the extracted data is catered for LLM-based pipelines. - The api is self hostable and opensource ----- Some benefits of firecrawl 1. handles crawling (with or without sitemaps) 2. runs headless browsers scalably 3. handles bot protections and proxies 4. a team of dedicated engineers to solve the millions of edge-cases on the web for you 5. quality formatting to markdown by default Beautiful soup doesn't generalize, thats why we built firecrawl

What and how much to comment in code has always been controversial. It ranges from write a full spec to don’t comment at all. I’ve always felt comments should be about purpose. What does this code accomplish and why does it work the way it does. Intent.

The prompt captures the intent. It’s also a form of compression. Comments are hard. You already have the prompts so now they are easy. They scale with subsystem size. Even a million lines of code are generated the comment takes the same effort. I’m not saying you don’t need

A requirements document, but we are closer than ever to that document actually generating and documenting a system. That has always been the dream.

When Siri says it can’t do something I always ask why. It never has an answer. Will it now?

Given the crowds of tourists invading so many cities, truly the only way to visit a city will be to time travel digitally using VR. So many cities have been hollowed out at made into tourist traps. In VR you could participate in city life back when they were actually functioning.

I wonder if AI coding will flatten project lifecycles. Projects usually have a phase where they hire a lot of people to build a thing and then fire three-quarters of those people once the thing is built. This is a bit depressing if you are on the project, but it's pretty natural.

With an AI code assist, maybe both parts of the curve will be attenuated? You don't need as many people to start so you won't need to fire as many when done?

"The Brick and the Cathedral" Apparently, I wrote this down at 3 a.m., and it was a burning insight about something or other.

Assuming we live in a simulation, that we aren't Universe Alpha, then we'll never find a unified set of physical laws. We can look at Sora as to why. Sora likely generates video by first encoding and compressing reality into a semantically meaningful

If you look at our simulation's model, there won't be physical laws as such. Realistic video simply emerges from the models built from the original training data. What scientists are trying to do is understand the AI's underlying model, which isn't a coherent set of

physical laws, it's a compressed encoding of those laws derived from training data, so our physics will never reach anything like the grand unification we so yearn for. It's simply not there.

Once upon a time we had a memorable merle great dane named Katie. A long time ago I wrote children's story based on her character, but the art work would have been impossible. With DALL-E, I finished the book, and I think the artwork turned out great. amazon.com/Katie-That-Grew-T…
