@cairoasmith Actually Smith might be the closest thing to a medieval middle class. You lived in town and had your own business! But there really is something elemental and comforting about high quality meat, cheese & bread that transcends time for some reason.

The calm before the AI hurricane rips through all of these....
Software and technical writing tasks were at the top; fishing and forestry had the lowest AI use. Few jobs used AI across most of their tasks: only ~4% used AI for at least 75% of tasks. Moderate use is more widespread: ~36% of jobs used AI for at least 25% of their tasks.

I've been a Mac guy for years -- but last time I checked, Excel for Mac was still missing core power features vs Windows.
"Macs are better for creative work" was always a cope way of saying "they're more idiot-proof" There was never anything a Mac could do that a PC couldn't

@ItIsHoeMath @CBlairforRealz There are two archetypical heroes -- the Anointed One (Harry Potter, Luke, Neo) and the Average Joe who tries hard (Rocky, John McClain). There stories are actually materially different.

@gbufc78 @ChefGruel I'm not in resto biz -- but have observed that there is an odd type of person who lives to bully waitstaff and draw attention to oneself that way.

Life as a medieval serf was mostly brutal and short -- I don't get this modern romantic revisionism about serfdom.
You’re a medieval peasant farmer. You’re at the bottom rung of society—bound to the land with limited social mobility… But life isn’t all bad. Here’s what it looks like🧵

@credealjunkie I grew up in the Bay Area -- and I still cannot believe there is an East Palo Alto Four Seasons.

@credealjunkie Ah. You can absolve yourself of sin by making your buyout to them especially tasty. But all that buyout must go to them vs slicing off a bit to a neighborhood org.

One doesn't have to be particularly religious to understand that athletes crediting God upon victory and not blaming God upon defeat is a public signal of humility.
Curious that talented athletes frequently credit God when they win, but we rarely see them blame God when they lose.

NO MORE FULL SEND YEET IT ALL INTO THE GIGANTIC CONTEXT WINDOW ANYMORE? Fml.
New research shows that LLMs don't perform well on long context. Perfect needle-in-the-haystack scores are easy—attention mechanisms can match the word. When you require 1-hop of reasoning, performance degrades quickly. This is why guaranteeing correctness for agents is hard.
