Your data can be solid. And still hard to explain. Statistics is how you make impact legible without fluff or hype. Grokking Statistics by @thomasnield76 shows how to actually use stats, not just memorize them. Quick intro from the author: hubs.la/Q040Q8F00

@relizarov Having LLM's write Rust for me has been... enlightening. Rust apparently doesn't support vibe coding on compilation, so I'll ask the Rust Foundation to get on that. Javascript, however, is vibe-coding compatible.

I can tolerate LLMs writing bad Python. Bad Kotlin, a language made for beauty and concision, hits harder. I end up polishing it every time.

Software engineers shouldn't fear being replaced by AI. They should fear being asked to maintain the sprawling mess of AI-generated legacy code their employer's systems will soon run on. Because that one will actually happen.

Best show from last 5 years that isn’t Succession, Silo or Severance (all of which I loved)? After one of my most insanely hectic weeks ever, I need some downtime.

Apple did more for AI than anyone else: they proved through peer-reviewed publications that LLMs are just neural networks and, as such, have all the limitations of other neural networks trained in a supervised way, which I and a few other voices tried to convey, but the noise from a bunch of AGI-feelers and their sycophants was too loud. Now, I hope, the scientists will return to do real science by studying LLMs as mathematicians study functions and not by talking to them as psychiatrists talk to sick people.
