This is the answer. Old model makes way for new

Was it really so bad the last time you visited a Queens Public Library?

This happened in seattle a few years ago. Computer systems were down for months. They just let everyone borrow using an honor system.


Same for the city of Westmount (Montréal island) a few years back (including the library):

and the British Library, an attack that took years of recovery which is still not complete

TIL. Good job TPL for not paying.

So no more visa fees?

Elon truly was inspired by Delorean

That's disrespectful to a guy who made a nicer car and had a less destructive drug habit.

In what way? That's a strained way to poke fun at someone just because.

"That's gold, Jerry. Gold."

>"Elon truly was inspired by Delorean"

He wishes. Delorean is a modern classic, regardless of commercial success. Cybertruck will go down like the H1/H2; something entirely emblematic of the worst excesses in the time it was conceived and marketed in, that later generations will go "did they really think that was cool?".


A modern classic, thanks to Bob Zemeckis; without whom it would've been right up there with the Bricklin SV-1.

Setting aside JohnZ's personal failings, the car and its production was a catastrophe.


Hilariously the deloreon speedo didn’t even go up to 88

Part of that was a NHTSA rule that hilariously (from 79-82) made 85mph speedometers mandatory; but even later, because of tooling costs, those dials persisted.

Not that the DMC-1's PRV v6 and tall Renault 5-speed were gonna make getting to 85 easy...


Discord is a text editor?

Fair point. It would be better to say: "Primarily text-based GUIs". I was looking for a good way to describe apps that are not primarly showing video or rendering 3D graphics.

a lot of discord is non-text. People share videos and images all the time. Everyone has profile pictures and profiles are customizeable with banners and animated backgrounds. It's not an IRC chatroom app.

Does anyone else open sites with this default claude code theme and immediately close them?

Thanks for flagging. Changed the theme !

Recently I needed to book a table for 16 for a rehearsal dinner. I used ChatGPT work to find availabilities and create an html doc of only restaurants that could handle our party size, with pictures, menu comparisons, locations, and approximate prices. It knocked the task out of the park and I went with one of the recommended restaurants.

That said, the last mile, the bit where I paid, I called the kitchen manager and talked to them. Even if I trusted ChatGPT with this part, I like building a rapport with who’s serving me and my family food, and it’s a special occasion so I know they want to nail the experience. ChatGPT saved me so many hours of work and research and replaced Google, yelp, and so many other random services.

I don’t think agents are going to work with DoorDash they’re going to replace DoorDash - taking their core competency of helping me discover and choose what’s new and interesting to me, what restaurant is open and meets my criteria and let me stay connected with the people rather than building a wall between me and them


It’s probably time students shift further away from studying computer science and more toward software engineering. It provides real skills that are still relevant in the AI era. Less memorizing algorithms, more SDLC, team management, economics, and working with real customers on their requirements.

I imagine they’ll keep a buffer of usage for mundane queries and just block deep research tasks/image generation/etc

Sure, but I imagined anthropic would do that too and they didn't. Imagining it doesn't help!
