From one piece Why performant code matters (but gets widely ignored), with Casey Muratori 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there

Their words
the performance of your software is generally determined by the longest serial dependency chain because it's something that cannot be parallelized.
-
Their words
If every uh software engineer knew to watch out for false serial dependency chains, things where they were creating series of dependent operations that could not be optimized away or other sorts of architectural problems like that that cannot be easily fixed, then the world would look more like just wait and optimize the hotspot, right?

Cheap flat-rate AI subscription pricing is a temporary loss-leader that will be phased out once users are hookedTheir words
The subscriptions to frontier models are a very good deal, but it looks like they are being phased out now that everyone is hooked.

IBM Model MTheir words
I discovered the IBM Model M in 1993 when I went over to the neighbor who owned an IBM PS/1 2168. I was immediately hooked to the feel of the keys and their clicky sound. It felt like using a typewriter and I loved it.

Their words, before
The problem is that the conversational interface is potent and that the AI is trained on a lot of human text input which unfortunately is probably enough to do real damage if that conversational interface is hooked up with something that has real world consequences.
Their words now
While all this is happening, I’ve found myself reflecting a lot on what AI means to the world and I am becoming increasingly optimistic about our future. It’s obvious now that we’re undergoing a tremendous shift.

Nothing to HideTheir words
Mind candy thriller, somehow equally about a serial killer and about secrets in marriage. (Previously in this series.)

Dark CountryTheir words
Mind candy horror/mystery, stalking and being stalked by the somewhat-supernatural serial killer, with extensive local color for contemporary South Africa. There are rough patches, but it's a perfectly enjoyable specimen of this type of novel. It's obviously the set-up for a series, and I'm not sure I need to follow these characters, but I would be happy to read more by Snyman.

Color as perceived is not an objective property of objects, but a construct generated by the perceiving brain.Their words
Redness is not "objective" in the sense of being "in the object", it only exists in the models generated by the sort of brains which are hooked up to eyes.

Hardcore HistoryTheir words
Currently hooked on Dan Carlin's Hardcore History . 100 people recommended it to me and I kept putting it off and finally listened to the 6-part WWI series and that was that for me.

My Sister, the Serial KillerTheir words
But the thing I liked about this book most of all was the voice. It's a first person narrative where you really get a sense of her coming through in the language she uses, the way she speaks, and the way she takes us through her story.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
