Side quest del domingo: tengo bastantes dolores de espalda, hombros y cuello y —cada vez que me da un achaque fuerte— me encuentro buscando fotos en internet para nombrar dónde me duele exactamente y qué significa. He creado esto con Opus 5.5 porque why not 😅

Esto me parece una pasada nxnative coge tus propios juegos de Nintendo Switch y los convierte en una IPA para iPhone, iPad o Mac No es un emulador: el código del juego corre directamente sobre Apple Silicon y reconstruyen los gráficos de Switch sobre Metal Ya tienen Mario Odyssey, BOTW, TOTK y bastantes más funcionando Os dejo el repo abajo :)

Productividad no es efectividad
No hay señales que la IA esté mejorando la economía de ninguna empresa del S&P 500, según un reporte. Excepto de 7: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA y Tesla. ¿Y qué pasa con las demás? El revenue por trabajador, margen de beneficios y mejora de la productividad está plano, según un estudio de Apollo. Tengo bastantes lecturas de esto. Primero, que hacer cosas muy rápido no significa monetizar más. Eso lo veo todos los días, la gente crea muchas cosas, pero pocas realmente con impacto real. Luego, que también hay muchas empresas que el cambio tecnológico todavía ni se ha asomado por ahí. ¿Cómo ves estos datos? ¿Cómo lo llevan en tu empresa? El reporte de Apollo es este: apollo.com/insights-news/ins…

An alternate data point. This has been my best year selling self-paced video courses, which has been 98% of my income since 2022. A great course reorients the learner in the world. It doesn't just give them new knowledge, it makes new things possible. Also, course creation is curation. It takes a spread-out graph of information, finds the most impactful nodes, and linearises it. This means courses are fast-tracks - they get you to where you need to go faster. So, in the AI world, what is worth learning? For me, that has meant finding techniques which are: - Harness-agnostic - Model-agnostic - Language-agnostic ...that benefit the agent and increase output quality. Because they're everything-agnostic, you can drop into any codebase and succeed. This is a huge space. I've explored a small part of it: software fundamentals, module design, increasing test quality. But there is SO much more there. User interfaces, company process, leadership, observability, product design. But you've got to make the right course. I wouldn't make my "Total TypeScript" course now (sales have dropped off a cliff). That one focuses too much on API's, learning language features, aspects which are easy to ask agents about. Instead, I'd make "TypeScript for AI", focusing on the actual things you need to know to make a productive TS codebase for agents (and it would rock, too). It boggles my mind when people say courses are dead. The hunger for information is very much alive. Go feed it.
AI destroyed my industry. Real thing. I teach people. Always have. At one point I was earning 100k a month selling online coding courses. Today I can’t make money with training videos if I wanted to. My peers have the same issue: AI is killing video courses. Why learn a tech skill when AI can do the work? It’s frustrating. But it’s also an opportunity. Now I do more human coaching than ever before. I spend way more time helping people reach outcomes (vs just a skill). I’ve had to adapt. I have anxiety from time to time and working closely with people often drains me. But I’ve had to evolve how I work. The same with coding and SAAS. Everything is changing. It’s ironic, with AI I’ve personally been forced to be more human and connect at a more human level in order to connect with people and sell products. People are less tolerate of noise and slop. I’m 40 and learning new things is harder. But I have to. And honestly, I’m having more fun learning AI than struggles and hardships. All to say is that I’m navigating this changing world like everyone else and I think there is no need to group people in buckets of “Pro AI vs Against AI” We are all people. And just because things are hard doesn’t mean they are wrong.

asumo que no sólo tienen multi region sino multi cloud. Debe haber lecciones valiosas del incidente de ayer.

Por mucho que sepas la teoría, a veces no te das cuenta de todo lo que llevabas acumulado hasta que pillas vacaciones y descansas en serio.

New on our Science Blog: designing protein binders against scorpion neurotoxins. Scorpions sting about 1.2m people every year, and antivenoms are often costly or in short supply. Claude has made an early step toward finding new treatments. anthropic.com/research/claud…
