@BenBajarin agree, and I literally posted the same opinion recently :)

More workloads will move to the edge and hybrid AI worklaods will span cloud-on prem servers-clients. Ask who has the ability to orchestrate all this.

@davepl1968 A lot of people acted badly during that time. It was as much a political pandemic as a health pandemic so that gave reason for irrational people to be even more irrational than normal. My .02c. Forgive, learn, move on :)

I don't give a damn about Covid, but Rogers lied to the public and his teammates about his status after he'd what, seen a shaman or something? How you protect yourself is up to you. But so is the level of risk that you bring to others for your own convenience. And that's on you, ethically. Consider driving like a dangerous asshole and then surviving and saying "See! You owe me an apology, we made it, didn't we?" The outcome does not justify the process. You know that.

Prediction: 5 years from now Devs will run most (80-95%) of their AI workloads locally. Today's OSS coding models are already good enough for most problems. They will be far better in 5 years. Today's hardware can already run coding models. All you need is a decent GPU, a DGX sparc, a Jetson Orin Nano Super, etc. Hardware will be optimized for AI workloads and performance for AI will increase far faster than Moore's law. Today we pay for Claude to get the harness (Claude code), but that piece will have strong OSS alternatives. This is now especially easier since much of the harness can be generated using AI. You will be able to tap into datacenter level compute/memory or frontier models as needed but will seldom need it for coding. If I'm right, there are some interesting questions. 1. As an investor, I'd bet on OpenAI, Claude, others. for the next 2 years, but for 5 years...it's a coin flip. At least one ends up as myspace(dies), one ends up as Facebook(prospers), and one ends up like reddit (survives but meaningless). I guarantee a big player like Oracle, Google, Microsoft, IBM buys at least one of them. 2. What do we do with all the compute we are building out now? My guess is they become compute wholesalers to corporations that have AI baked into their apps and the AI datacenters become a new Cloud, call it Cloud 2.0.

in place of my salary, I'd be willing to be paid a commission for every "Good call" or "you are right" that AI generates for me :)

@davepl1968 use Mac OS for a week or two, you will realize just how good Windows is even if they have been off their game for a few years.

Microsoft wanted the users, for whom they first needed the developers. So they won the developers and, in turn, the users. It was a genius strategy. But now that popular sentiment has shifted about the product, the people they really need are the power users, influencers, and vocal decision makers. It's time to start pleasing the people who are most displeased with @Windows, because it's their voices that dominate the conversation. They should bring back Steve to chant "Power Users! Power Users! Power Users!" Recent steps like restoring the Start bar flexibility give me some hope they're listening, though! That's a pure power-user feature that 99% of people will never use, but that the 1% are vocal about it.

@lovelacecoding you did miss out; they were simply amazing. In many ways even a decade later, the best iPhone and android still haven't caught up. It was a masterclass in design, and also a masterclass in how not to execute.

I never got onto the Windows Phone hype. I feel like I missed out 🥲

@Budgetdog_ I'd say a good CPA is among the best ROI you can get :)

Your bed is one of the largest ROIs you can make 🛌 Spend the money.

That's how programming feels nowadays

@MrPeterLMorris @sadhna6389 respectfully disagree. The level of financial expertise that $3K/year buys you from an advisor is practically zero. They take their fees then put you in a TDF, balanced 60/40, etc.

@sadhna6389 Add a programmer who hears AI enables non-programmers to do my job without me, who then sees the shit they write - I am incredibly sceptical about this claim. The risk to your future is too great!

BREAKING: Claude can now map out your retirement better than most people charging $3,000 ever will. Here are 6 prompts to figure out exactly when and how you can retire. (Save this before it disappears).

@mcuban Wish we had you as a healthcare affordability czar but then realized you would be expected to divest. Somehow, we have to find a way to get smart/capable people like you into roles where you influence policy.

Everything in the hospital could cost $1, and the insurance companies conglomerates would buy them, raise prices, and make sure their top and bottom lines grew I'm not saying hospital systems are innocent, far from it. But the big vertically integrated insurance companies create the annual plans that crush people's financial situation

@WhaleWatcher_ai @Polymarket @grok please help Tommy out with his question about how the US could seize crypto

@Polymarket How does one go about seizing a billion dollars in crypto? Pardon my ignorance, but I though being not easily taken was generally part of the appeal?

JUST IN: Treasury Secretary Bessent announces the U.S. has now seized ~$1,000,000,000.00 in crypto from Iran.

@JeffBezos Failure happens. It is a part of life. Winners embrace it, learn from it, grow stronger from it, and eventually start to seek it out when they realize if you aren't failing at least occasionally, you aren't pushing yourself hard enough.

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

@MrPeterLMorris thanks for sharing the updates. I've been eyeballing the Spark and Asus Ascent gx10.

I've still not yet got a model running on my DGX Spark. Trying SparkRun, but everything Qwen3.6 related seems to fail.

Sane take from non-partisan, middle America: we want EVERY district to be competitive in every primary, and every incumbent to face a real challenger. We want the vote for the best instead of the least bad.

@angertab @Oceanbreeze473 @grok from claude

@Oceanbreeze473 @grok what's the phone number?

Wanted:

@HLC_actual @SStricklandMMA my Dad, an E-9 and 30+ yr vet has gulf war syndrome. In Desert Storm we bombed Iraqi chemical plants which released Sarin gas. My Dad now has serious dementia.

@SStricklandMMA Sean how do you define WMD? If you say nuclear yeah we know he didn’t have those but some US marines that had to be treated for mustard gas in the initial invasion want to have a word.

Memorial Day is a psyop. Some crooked whore of a politician standing over a grave stone waving a flag thanking Americans for dying because of lies "The intelligence community said Iraq has WMDs" Thousands of lives, trillions of dollars...

Serilog. The more important question is what you use logging for and how you consume the logs. That was the motivation behind the presentation I've given many times called "Data Driven Software Development". Problem is, I have a small microphone. You have a big microphone. Happy to share, and you are welcome to plagiarize if that helps anyone :)

.NET Developers What is your logging library?

@TheOneBenCody @Jason he donates the money to charity. Uses the $1 as a gate to keep bots and at least a percentage of the haters from being able to respond to his posts.

@Jason Where are these dollars going? I’m for whatever, love the pod, just curious. Just like taxes I’d be happy to pay more if I could see receipts.

I wish everyone had a default $ 1-a-month subscription on this website... it really changes the whole experience to have skin in the game (in my replies!)

@Jason I'd be happy to setup subscriptions if you want to pay $1/month to respond to my tweets 🤣

just discovered @lmstudio. Really neat! Also discovered (via warning beeps) that the UPS I bought a week ago isn't big enough to power my PC when running local AI models 🤣
