I think remember you said in one episode you didn't want to run ads in the podcast so you could talk about anything you want, but most of the episodes are about one of historical events. Do you really think the sponsors would try to alter your content. Personally I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 ad spots in the episodes.

It rejected Asians more because of their higher SAT scores? If it’s not directly based on applicants disclosing their ethnicity then probably something more obvious like names.

I think LLMs will make vertical slice architecture more common using less abstraction. If juniors are mostly relying on LLMs then they will accept the long files it generates and not have the opportunity to learn abstractions.

Re:Agents need control flow, not more prompts
on Thursday May 07, 2026 @02:21PM (#48052899)
yup, the standard way of thinking about agents seems backwards and probably costly. Use LLMs to write scripts, then stick all your scripts in your own looping harness and call out for LLMs for those parts that are too hard to automate with some deterministic validation at the end.

Yup, strange to see people still don’t understand LLMs massively speed up coding greenfield pet projects. Anytime you see a bee web app it’s better to assume AI use rather than not anymore.

Will companies be willing to pay more to send junk mail if it is no longer largely subsidized? In this regard it could be a good thing assuming they don’t already have a regulation against junk mail there.
