SRE as a job title shouldn't exist. Reliability is either everyone's job or it's nobody's. The moment you hire a team specifically for reliability, every other team quietly stops thinking about it.

Remember this?

I've negotiated many things. Domains names, job offers, acquisitions, what features to include in an upcoming software release with my cofounder, etc. So whenever I see a book or blog post about "how to negotiate", I laugh a bit inside, because I just don't think you can learn how to negotiate this way. I think the only way to learn how to do it well is to, well, do it. Pretty much every single negotiation I've been involved in is completely different. You can't generalize. Everyone wants something different. The goal of every negotiation is different. Your counterparty is unpredictable, and their behavior is a result of many things you can't control. So if you try to generalize your approach, you will probably do something dumb. And that really sucks, because even getting to the table probably took a lot of effort. So here's my actual advice about negotiating: Don't lie. Be honest. Know what you want. Know what you have. Communicate quickly. That's it. Final point I want to make: you don't "win" or "lose" negotiations. A good negotiation means both sides win. So please don't think of it in that way; if you do, you're starting off on the wrong foot.

I can't believe that we're actually debating whether or why Rust — a systems level language meant to rival C/C++!! — would be much faster than the interpreted or GC-using alternatives people have historically used for web apps. Programming tribalism is a hell of a drug!

The reason most people didn't write their web apps in Rust until recently was that it was painful, verbose, and unproductive for that purpose! But if agents make it painless, productive, and you're not looking at the verbosity anyway then OF COURSE the equation has changed!

Not at all. web apps benefit from js and it's runtime. The browser doesn't execute Rust and there is no benefit other than micro-optimization for certain algorithms. You have wasm for that if you need to. And plenty of apps are using that (Figma, etc)

Changing AI to SI is pronouns in the bio cringe to me idk why. Can’t get past it. I cringe every time I see people use it over AI.

People who reverse into parking spots act like they’re superior to everyone else.

One of the more interesting side effects of AI proliferating throughout society is not the devaluation of human effort (as many anticipated), but rather the exact opposite: human effort, achievement, and creations has never been so appreciated. Put in that extra effort. Don't outsource your thinking or creativity (it's fairly obvious when you do). Be proud of your creations. In an age where everything looks and feels the same, any little detail that shows a human was in the steering wheel makes a big difference.

I dunno man, "SpaceXSI" just doesn't really work nearly as well as SpaceXAI in my opinion.

AI is a lot nicer sounding than SI. We could just make the A stand for automated or augmented instead of artificial.

I don't see how AI can make everything free. It can certainly compress the cost of goods and services. But free??? I don't think so. Abundant and cheap? Probably.

interesting. i didn’t think the SI thing was gonna stick but this changes those odds

Need a job where I can make six figures but I have no skills and I’m not very smart What field is this?

The AI-decompilation boom will be such a boon for VR homebrew, almost unimaginably so.

Right. Until people realize their vibe coded slop isn’t optimized well enough to run on resource limited hardware and they have no idea how to fix it.

Renaming Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence was the right move. Doomers have spent years poisoning the term "AI" with fear and dystopian fantasies. It carries too much baggage now. Super Intelligence puts the focus back where it belongs: on ambition, progress, and what we can build.

I’m so glad I didn’t fall into the hype and buy a Mac mini and try to install OpenClaw For those who did, how you feeling?

AI will solve aging, aging reversal is coming AI designed drug shows signs of reversing biological age Insilico Medicine’s AI discovered and AI designed drug rentosertib, originally developed for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, produced a striking secondary result in humans: all 6 proteomic aging clocks measured patients as biologically younger after treatment. The analysis involved 42 patients in a Phase IIa trial. The strongest regimen showed roughly 3-4 years of predicted biological age reversal after just four weeks, with one aging clock indicating as much as ~6 years. AI identified the biological target TNIK, and generative AI then designed the drug molecule itself. The drug has now advanced toward Phase III development for lung fibrosis.

Pretty funny that almost nobody actually learned Rust, yet Rust is probably what a ton of new code will be "written" in now.

We need portable assembler with memory safety. Rust is made for humans still and has annoying downsides like compilation speed.
