It’s more fun thinking of the mind (and oneself) as a (less faulty , more honest) LLM than a bad computer. The average person has trouble multiplying 8 and 9, but at least we know how many Rs strawberries has.

I spend so much time evaluating Claude output for work and guiding it, that I catch myself using that framework on myself.

This provides so much opportunity for self-compassion if we start thinking of ourselves as mini-LLMs that often make mistakes. The other day I got side tracked doing a task and caught myself thinking “I’m like a Claude session that’s gotten too long, I should take a break and restart myself”.

To some extent low-code was already for that, but having it be on the dev side feels great, and more realistic as the prototype is integrated into the real app. Concerns like “which URL is this page at” and “who creates this resource” get fleshed out more than just connecting blocks in a low-code UI

Oh and apparently Google tried to buy Wiz last year for $23B! www.theverge.com/2024/7/23/24...

At least NSO Group(another ex-IDF cyber company) had to develop Pegasus to hack iPhones, they didn’t get welcomed into the company with open arms and a big $$$ check.

While it’s nice to use EU-based services with better privacy and less spying, I’m still going to keep using American tech like Apple and Anthropic, just more selectively.

I don’t want the IDF to have access to my email.
Even if they don’t, I have choices as a consumer that’ll be exercising now.

I’ve got:
* Kagi for search
* Still have to choose for email (seems everybody picks either proton or fastmail)
* I already pay for iCloud 2tb so I’ll try to lean into that, or maybe expose my NAS to the internet over Tailscale
* It’s going to be tough to get rid of all the Login With Googles OAuths

Aviation used to have a culture of “shut up and do what the pilot says”, and planes would fall out of the sky bc of it, but now every crew member is meant to be equal and speak up.
Doesn’t help that for aviation if the pilot is overbearing and wrong, he dies instead of the patient.

Everyone values arts and humanities until it’s time to pay for it; everyone thinks they can be a painter or a writer until they try; everyone is a confident problem solver until there’s no single right answer.
