IT engineer, does Mac things and writes Python. None of it well.
macOS Liquid Glass, what was wrong with right angles for app windows or at least the more shallow rounded edges like we had.
The roundness of this design is not my favorite.

I’ve also been on a quest to eliminate Big Tech from my life as much as possible. There’s never been a better time because open source alternatives have gotten very good and self-hosting (e.g. using Raspberry Pi with services like Tailscale) has never been easier. open.substack.com/pub/parismar...
Why I’m getting off US tech
At least as much as feasibly possible

I have been watching Shrinking season 2 on Apple TV for the few days. For some reason the Apple TV app on the Apple TV has zero idea what I’ve been up to.
This is a solved problem. How has this software gotten so bad?

Costco really does have all the greatest deals. Just picked up a queen size bed frame made of walnut for like $450.

Cooking lunch before the plumber comes to give a repair quote and hoping the cooking happens before they arrive.

Have a plumber sit in their truck actively writing a quote for 20 minutes can not be a good thing. This is going to hurt.
Thoughts and prayers please.

I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.
From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark muses on whether AI systems will give an unfair advantage to people with a fiercely curious nature
importai.substack.com/p/import-ai-...
importai.substack.com/p/import-ai-...
![[…] in the era where these AI systems are true 'everything machines', people will out-compete one another by being increasingly bold and agentic (pun intended!) in how they use these systems, rather than in developing specific technical skills to interface with the systems.
We should all intuitively understand that none of this will be fair. Curiosity and the mindset of being curious and trying a lot of stuff is neither evenly distributed or generally nurtured. Therefore, I'm coming around to the idea that one of the greatest risks lying ahead of us will be the social disruptions that arrive when the new winners of the AI revolution are made - and the winners will be those people who have exercised a whole bunch of curiosity with the AI systems available to them.

The thing is, I don’t think the average Joe realizes just how bad the Silicon Valley types are; they got super paranoid because of all the drugs they’re doing, and convinced themselves that the economy was about to collapse, that’s not normal 
I will never not laugh that the Silicon Valley-tech-VC guys caused a bank run on themselves via group chat.
the last notable thing these guys did was blow up the bank all of their money was in
