Watched a bit of @poteto + team on the Grok Bot stream today. Surprised by how normal the work is, but faster. So many micro judgements and steps that weren't automated. You could pause at many moments and be like "wait why that?" and it would lead to an interesting discussion.

Speaking as head of the Center for Study of Public Choice, the capture story for an AI pause doesn't fit. Reg capture is what you attempt when you're losing. Anthropic is about to have the biggest IPO in history. Winners don't lobby for regulation. Anthropic Related

Let’s pause and reflect on a critical key to success: The people who think differently from you—and who you might ordinarily get annoyed with—are often the ones who complement your weaknesses. Finding people who balance your strengths and offer different perspectives is essential for building a successful partnership or team.

“And I'm getting really sick of having to re-evaluate this stuff every two months... TBH a "pause" might be nice for that reason alone” co-signed Quoting @KentonVarda Had both Fable 5.1 and Astra write a project plan. Then had new instances of Fable and Astra compare plans and choose the better plan. Both chose Fable's plan. The project was to build a benchmark for a workerd feature I'm working on.

Design engineer; formerly at Linear and Vercel; author of Sonner and Vaul; teaches animations.dev.
One of my favorite details of Sonner: By default the toast disappears after 4 seconds unless you hover over it. But what if a toast is triggered and the user switches to a different tab? 4 seconds would pass and the toast would never be seen. That’s why there’s a `useIsDocumentHidden` hook that checks if the document (tab) is hidden, and if so, it will pause the timer. This can be done with the "visibilitychange" event listener on the document. A small detail that improves the experience. Related

if you don't actually push yourself down to sit alongside your IC engineers and your IC designers and your IC PMs, you don't actually know that stuff. So you can't make good macro decisions without the micro.

Well, I guess one of the perks of electing a bunch of Clowns is that you get to live in a Circus!

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.
