First big demo for the new gig at our company’s first ever all hands went awesomely. So satisfying to hit a home run my first at bat. 😊
Cooking up something new. Formerly webOS, Polymer, Lit, Google Chrome. I survived the web framework wars of the 2010s, and don’t post much about tech now.📍San Francisco. 🏳️🌈 Discord: mmcnulty Insta: mcnulty_matthew & lucamcdoodle 🐶

Luca about as exhausted as I’ve ever seen him after day 4 of doggie daycare. It’s adorable. He’s almost grumpy about it.
Big Boys (on Hulu in the USA) is so fucking great. It has Please Like Me vibes by the end of season one. 🥰
Went to bed my usual late, but I slept for nine hours. It was amazing.
New mattress, new slats, new sheets. I’m going to bed at like 6pm.
Would also work with “you’ll ship the correct item, right?”
Someday, science will focus on and solve the truly pressing challenges of humanity. By which I mean successfully laundering king size fitted sheets or duvet covers in the dryer without them regularly forming a ball with a density approaching that of a singularity.
For posterity, as it was detached from the quote, the meme posted I’m objecting to.
The scars of those wars are real and still tender to the touch. Promote the tech you love. Shout from the rooftops why. I think the lesson of that decade was just don’t do it at the expense of the work of others.
A wish of mine is to not import the framework wars of the 2010s over to this site (or engage in them at all). Much like “the best camera is the one you have with you”, the best tech to use is what you know. If it doesn’t suit customer needs, then learn something new that does. It’s not zero sum.
Yup. This is the same mechanism that led to a lot of hand wringing around the display ads business a long time ago. Little profit so it’s sort of a web creator subsidy program. Justified because it was critical to search and the web. They are really pretty trapped here.
…and are likely desperately throwing everything ai at the wall to see what sticks and proves them worthy of not being subjected to further funding or headcount cuts. So the Gemini/deep kind stuff is sorta sensibly racing ahead, but legacy is flailing.
Knowledge of the inner workings of Google provide insight. There’s very much a divide between “legacy Google” (search, docs, etc) and “future Google (Gemini and deep mind). Those in the former are getting steadily squeezed for profit on what is viewed as a legacy business…
Business wise it very much threatens the web publishing ecosystem by making website click throughs less likely. They don’t profit much from display ads but that ecosystem is critical to the web and search. They are very trapped.
It’s such a tricky problem, both business & technically. LLMs are bad at deterministic things, and the overviews sorta tend to all be deterministic queries. Should be two different tools. Pretty sure right now it’s basically just an ad for AI and pure PR. While damaging its reputation for accuracy.
It was too late last night, but I really wanted to reply with like some random ship from Star Trek, with those call letters, but with them exceeding a box border around them at the end, ala the classic CSS is Awesome meme.
Panic.
Taking away your gay card sorry. Apologies to the hubby.
Ok a real one. Top 5 Parker Posey roles
Haha there’s only four. #troll
Teletubbies.
Fwiw, actual Gemini answers it fine. I believe the ai summaries thing is fairly different infra spawning from the old knowledge cards stuff in some way.
Probably crashes due to a z-index issue.
I was thinking of going to see it purely to encourage more of this in theaters.
It’s so hard tho given how they work, tho who knows with a different system prompt. The thing that people don’t understand is their sycophantic nature, and to a lesser extent how they are bad at anything deterministic.
I do wish the big llm companies would put even a modest amount of effort into teaching the basics of usage. Fairly sure the parts of this agent thread we aren’t seeing will show he made an (incorrect) assumption, asserted it to the llm, then asked it to explain. Hence hallucination.
I hate that I’m suddenly defending replit, about which I have *many* issues after extensive usage, but this guy’s critique is fairly absurd, imo. Dude doesn’t understand llm basics, also somehow misses replit’s maybe most prominent feature? (Checkpoints and easy rollbacks)
Where you’ll get no argument from me is that replit’s stated value prop of being able to create apps without coding knowledge is false in something like 99% of cases.
His failure to understand what he was doing across many many aspects of the tool he was using suggests a level of ignorance that no instructions will truly solve. Again, replit has issues for sure. But none of them are what he’s complaining about.
His lack of understanding there’s rollbacks is baffling. Literally at every single checkpoint there’s a prominent button in the main agent flow that says rollback to here and if you click that there’s a checkbox for also rollback database. 🤷♂️
I think if you’re using ai at this moment in time you should 100% have a basic understanding of how it works (and esp how it doesn’t). And the rollbacks and git integration are not at all hidden and are part of the default set of tools/tabs open with every project.
These tools still require an understanding of how LLMs work. He’s repeatedly making the classic blunder, accidentally asking it to reinforce his beliefs without realizing it will gladly do so even if not true. Replit has its issues, but also has great code and db rollbacks and full git integration.
$1400-1600 on stubhub and somehow tempting.
Oh wow. That’s a tiny and special venue, too. I volunteer as an accessory to murder for a ticket.
Wait til Ferrari hires him…
Had to mute a certain nyc mayoral candidate’s name for 30 days. Was taking over the feed. 🫢
Grim!
Omg I need this shirt
Half of that statement should at least be on the table.
Perfect thanks
Good thing I never like your posts.
I think she’s likely toast in a primary if ny was a regular state. But something about the party there seems to make it so voters choices are always between bad and worse options.
Hochul is absurdly incompetent. Refuses to spend any political capital to do anything, and utterly deserves to be tossed next election. NY has a pretty abysmal history of electing governors since prob Cuomo Sr
Besties on a hike
He’s got so many sim races to get angry about til 4am
She inhaled trace amounts of empathy and her body went into anaphylactic shock.
Probably intentionally haha.
Oddly not covered in the “race in 30” version 🤔
Extremely. I had a lazy Sunday recovering from a very active Fri/sat, and binged episodes 2-7. Half wanted to stay up late and finish it
Dept Q on Netflix is fantastic. Shades of slow horses but very different.
For sure!
Never heard of this but it seems super cool!
The struggle is real. Spent the past week glasses shopping.
Unifi stuff does wireless bridge nicely. Obviously not as great as wired backhaul, but not bad. They also have a nice wireless device bridge for cameras now. I’ve got one. Also don’t forget MoCA as you might have coax runs you can use and that works well too.
Built in PoE is nice. You can remotely power cycle individual ports from afar, rebooting Apps, cameras, raspberry pi’s running homebridge/home assistant. It’s pretty useful. The PoE switches let you do the same in a separate box as well.
The cgm has a nice magnetic wall mount. It’s a nice form factor for that. No need for a rack really. The dream walk is also gorgeous.
It’s what I chose recently for a redo up in Tahoe when we switched to unifi cams (cgm). In sf I have the udm pro se. I’m sure you will get many opinions on Reddit too.
Or dream machine pro SE (or dream wall 🥰) for controlling everything with PoE without the need for PoE injectors. (This is how the addiction works. There’s infinity next rungs on the ladder)
My tendency would be towards separation of concerns and future proofing a bit more. So I’d go with a Cloud Gateway Max with some storage for when you inevitably swap out any crappy cameras you have for unifi ones they will be plug and play (or can go storage free on the CGM for now) + another u7 pro
I will never understand why the democrats didn’t spend their four years systematically reinforcing everywhere things functioned via norms not laws, and strengthening reinforcement provisions of the existing laws. This was all fairly predictable, if surprising in scope.

Remember thanking me when you’re like 4 grand in and are microptimising your WiFi and cameras and obsessively checking for new products.
Join the UniFi cult. It’s nice.
Feels like this year’s tax prep should be on the house.
I’m so glad that period of doom and gloom and uncertainty has been at least briefly ended. By which I mean Lorde has teased a new album.
lol elon everyone hates u
That thread doesn’t accurately describe the discussion, imo. It was much more about needing to get faster/more efficient about these sorts of things, getting things done first and policing fraud later, and that being more cost efficient and better for voters to see effects of dem initiatives sooner.

Funny, I’m also a dual oura/(apple) watch wearer for basically all of the exact same reasons. My oura 4 for now does seem to last about a week though. My old 3 was down to about a single day and I’d only wear it for sleep.
Will highway assist work in more places or just allow hands off?
I’d not only not renew Sunday ticket, I’d put being a lifelong fan on hold until he’s no longer on the team. Wouldn’t even be a question.
✨vibes✨
Older woman on my flight maintained she both needed additional time to board and could handle duties of being in an exit row. 🤦♂️
Grand Targhee ski area left half. Grand Teton on the right.
Grand Teton at dusk just now
Rock springs bowl in the clouds
Two completely different views of Grand Teton today. The first this morning from the top of Rendezvous Peak via the Jackson Hole tram. Second from our rental outside of Alta WY. Both rare to see in typically cloudy winter weather.
Love of her is an innate trait amongst gays from birth. Those babies, they were born this way.
Regular season career high in points and 4 blocks and got a broken nose? Legend.
Not sure why the dems keep harping on RFK jr’s flip flopping on abortion. It’s orders of magnitude less problematic than literally all of his other views. They aren’t trying to win an election against him. They should be trying to stop him from killing heaps of people.

Happy birthday! America got you the world’s shittiest present.
Noah Wylie is empathy in human form.
Would be too much cursing for a Saturday morning.

We’re going to find out Zuck and his wife separated last year, aren’t we? Epic divorced guy vibes.
Bury the power lines already.
Yeah agreed. Preventing fires in the first place is the only way in those conditions.
Not the right scale, and not sure even having enough water would have made much difference, but SF does have a pretty nifty secondary high pressure water system. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fra...
We heard you the first time, San Andreas. Pls stop now.
The only reason people think congestion pricing is bad is they don’t realize the cure is behind the counter now?
Your annual reminder that wind chill is not real.
Seems totally legit. 🙄
