Holy cow. I heard everyone talking about this interview being a train wreck but I was not prepared for how bad this is just from a basic communication standpoint. This is farcical as though it were a bit from Silicon Valley or somethign written by Armando Iannucci.
I am watching the full Linda Yaccarino interview at Code and holy shit. Has she had no media training at all? How is it possible that she's this bad at this. I thought her whole schtick was to be the nice marketing front person. She's awful. www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23...
Watch Linda Yaccarino’s wild interview at the Code Conference
It was at times odd, uncertain, and confrontational.

This is a good day. A new nuclear plant just came online in the US that will provide power for hundreds of thousands of homes & businesses for more than half a century with zero emissions. Sadly, it's only the second new plant to come online in the last *27 years*.

Can a thumbs-up emoji seal a contract? A Canadian judge rules 👍
Sending a thumbs-up emoji as a response could be considered an agreement to a legally binding contract, a judge in Saskatchewan, Canada, has ruled.

New York State built a pretty good digital wallet for state IDs and launched it with vax cards. They said they were 'dedicated' to adding more passes, licenses & records.
They just killed it off because: no more COVID so who would want any of that in the future. 🤦♂️🤯

You might have heard the famed photography site DPReview was in danger of going offline. It’s not anymore—because Amazon found an interested buyer, and the internet fought for it.

A member of my team noted that Google Domains only came out of Beta last year. That makes this *so much worse*. It's like publishing an API and then deprecating it a year later. The whole point of coming out of Beta is that you are signaling that people can now rely on your service.
I really have come to respect google’s commitment to ensuring no developer will ever rely on them. https://9to5google.com/2023/06/15/google-domains-squarespace/

Too many people don't understand that LLMs are susceptible to forms of push polling. A friend was extolling the virtues of LLMs for his work however he didn't realize that he could accidentally force a hallucination. I opened ChatGPT and had the attached exchange. My friend was genuinely startled.
