Epistemic markers are phrases like "I think", "I guess", "maybe", and "certainly". They tell us how confident the speaker is in what they are saying. Their usage has been declining for decades, but AI leaders have taken it to an entirely new level. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #language #tech

"If you can't be honest about the capabilities of your technology, we don't want to hear it." The AI industry right now is obsessed with the appearance of disruption. fallthrough.fm/65 #AI #AIHype
The social media companies had this problem. Now the AI companies have this problem. "We're a big family" is the warning sign. Families that demand ideological conformity are cults. fallthrough.fm/65 #TechCulture #Diversity
Git was designed for the Linux kernel, which most people would describe as large. If you've worked at Google or Meta, you'd describe it as small. @steveklabnik.com fallthrough.fm/ep/70
There's so much debate about AGI and superintelligence, but @skriptble.me argues that we should instead be more focused on who's doing the debating, not on what they're debating. @ianlopshire.bsky.social disagrees. Who do you agree with?
"You literally cannot DMCA it if it's not real." Anthropic issued DMCA notices for the Claude Code leak and in doing so settled the debate about whether it was genuine. fallthrough.fm/65 #Anthropic #ClaudeCode
Software folks are not the main characters of their employers. And yet, for almost our entire existence as a discipline, we have acted like we are. The consequences? We've become inscrutable the rest of the company. That's made open source difficult for a business to understand. @skriptble.me
@skriptble.me wanted to optimize a ZFS dataset for the data it'd be storing, so he set the recordsize to 4MB. When he started actually using the dataset he was greeted with minute long stalls. The problem? An SQLite database causing 1,000x write amplification 😬 #softwareengineering #zfs #filesystem
@steveklabnik.com could debate 600,000 babies and he argues this means that Claude is intelligent. Confused? This clip from episode 64 should clear things up.
Move Fast and Break Things wasn't the first phrase but it was the most blunt and honest. Tech as an industry loves to prioritize speed over all else, including any sense of direction. With AI tools, we've doubled down on this and it's made things much worse. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #tech
Wealth management is a weird trap that makes the entire system worse while making sense at each step of the way. It's a weird twist of Simpson's Paradox. We won't fix problems like this without fixing the whole system. @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com #business #wealthmanagement #tech

Classmates, friends, and teachers gathered in #Kyiv to honour the memory of Mariia, a schoolgirl who was among the 24 people killed in russia's May 14 attack on the city. Two sisters, aged 12 and 17, were also killed in the strike. Their father had died in 2023 while defending #Ukraine.
The French Revolution began in 1789, sparked by massive national debt, crippling food shortages, and an unfair tax system that burdened the poor while the monarchy and nobility lived in luxury. When King Louis XVI's attempts to raise taxes failed, he was forced to call the Estates-General.
Rep Rob Menendez NJ: I welcome @SecMullinDHS & Republican colleagues to come to Delaney with me & see the pregnant women, high schoolers & grandparents being detained in abhorrent conditions. They are not criminals. This system is broken & runs counter to our values. Our fight continues.
It's not a radical idea to ask the wealthiest New Yorkers and most profitable corporations to pay their fair share. An honor to rally with Bernie Sanders, @socialists.nyc and so many friends in the struggle last weekend in The Bronx.
The American Psychological Association & Pew say that people are feeling a real lack of confidence in the info we receive about U.S. politics. Being able to debate without polarization or isolation is key to rectifying these trends. #DisagreeHealthier

More from the “pro-life” crowd. 🙄 Another attack on women. What this really does is open up somebody in the Planned Parenthood parking lot to attack you and use this as their reasoning. There’s so many scenarios where this bill could get women killed. More @wcnctv

Russie 🇷🇺 On se moque parfois de la désinformation Russe : pas cohérente, mal faites, improbables etc... Mais l'objectif de Moscou n'est pas de convaincre, c'est de noyer les flux d'informations et d'amener à douter de tout ⤵️
