Taiwan's innovations in food and drink must be studied

One of the very first Mongolian barbecue restaurants—and still the best I have ever tried—is in Taipei. What many people do not realize is that Mongolian Barbecue was actually invented in Taipei during the 1950s. Despite its name, it is a Taiwanese creation rather than an

@jeremys I got clipped by a delivery driver on a maxed out e-bike riding down Market a year and a half ago and I am still dealing with the injuries from the resulting crash. See near misses on the Panhandle daily. Fatalities obviously worse but 0 is the wrong comparison point.

I don't think I'll ever regret voting for Bilal since he did achieve my #1 policy goal of sending Dean Preston to Cancun, but he has been pretty disappointing so far. This isn't going to get anything done.

Today I announced the Affordable Groceries Act to address our growing affordability crisis in San Francisco. For years, the price of milk, fresh vegetables, and more has been rising by double digits. At the same time, large chain corporations are leaving grocery stores and

I've had a similar thought. A lot of the way we structure code right now is the result of decades of hard-won knowledge about how to enable efficient collaboration between people.

It seems like LLMs could optimize coding style by exploring ways of structuring code so weaker and weaker models can still successfully perform tasks in a codebase. There are surely stylistic quirks that are peculiarly impactful to transformers, but I bet there would be a lot of

Genuinely heartwarming to know that some people never had to use any software made by RealNetworks.

I am generally a very optimistic, positive person. I do not like to hate on other products. But Workday is, by a wide margin, the worst piece of software I've ever used in my career. I cannot believe that this is a $34 billion company. I pray the AGI gods fix this hot mess.

Fable is really good but unfortunately it is still doing a lot of load-bearing real work.

Your reaction to this kind of thing should be anger, not admiration. You would have had this two years ago if Apple didn't decide that only they have the right to do it.

Ok, first “woah” (although simple), Apple flexing platform advantage: Ask Siri what’s on screen (from any app). Siri AI pops out of notch and helps right there with context what’s going on on phone. You know how many times I have taken screenshots to upload to ChatGPT/Claude?

Can someone at OpenAI please make /skill work in codex CLI instead of $skill? I was going to make fun of this as Codex's own little version of insisting on CLAUDE.md but I tried it in the GUI app and slash appears to work there so I'm wondering if it is just an oversight.
