Here's exactly how Stable Diffusion works and why it was so revolutionary (explained for people who aren't technical)

The best way to be unemployed & miserable as a software engineer is to read r/cscareerquestions on Reddit. Never seen so much loser mentality in one place.

Turns out buying a laptop with 64 gb of RAM doesn't make anything faster. It just means that Google Chrome will start eating up 35 gb of RAM.

When I first moved to Austin, I paid ~$8.00 for an Uber from my apartment to the office. 6 months later, I’m getting rides for $4.00 w/ Waymo….

Reddit would be 100x better if you could get rid of all the redditors.

Turns out AI might create new jobs after all...

Now do Google Docs...

the fact that people aren’t going crazy over OpenAI agents is astonishing to me. Complete game changer over deep research.

AI companies are particularly vulnerable to this kind of "hostile takeover" since all their value is in their top talent. Why buy OpenAI for $350 billion when you can just get their 100 best people for $50 billion (with zero regulatory scrutiny)

There should be a "shove it all into the context window" mode for @cursor_ai when you're using Gemini 2.5 Pro. MAX mode isn't aggressive enough.

Super frustrating that @cursor_ai doesn't give you live status on whether models are behaving poorly. Why not publish evals that are run every few minutes to show if models are performing poorly or something. Claude Opus 4 has been completely unusable in Cursor for the last…

Windsurf's browser feature would be insanely useful if it actually worked without constantly crashing. Unfortunately (like half the other new features in Windsurf), it's buggy af and completely half baked.

If taxi -> Uber is a 5x improvement, then Uber -> Waymo is a 50x improvement in experience

Alexa and Siri were both perfectly positioned to dominate as home voice agents but will end up being massive fumbles because of incompetent leadership.

“but how do you pay for health insurance?!?”
