We have a busy Hackers & Founders meetup this week with @mattpovey from @SambaNovaAI speaking about about building agentic AI applications with open source models and high speed inference. We are in private room at the excellent Café de Muurbloem meetup.com/hackers-and-found…
Interesting discourse on the present day of programming in the era of AI chat bots. All programmers can now become 10x coders for coding output but the best will still need to be able to reason with the machine.

I've spent the last few months interviewing >60 experts in law, economics, AI, alignment, etc, on the impacts of AI, and safety interventions.

@parkmobilenl You have either a dark UX pattern or bad bug in your app. If you start a parking session and later go back to stop it you can end up on the screen to start a new parking session. However there is no indication that a parking session is currently in progress.
The correct behavior IMO is to show the active parking session as the logical next action is to stop the session, not start a new one when a session is already in progress.
From over a decade of organizing and hosting talks for the Hackers & Founders meetup here in Amsterdam this has been my experience as well. The best of the talks are wrapped in a personal story.
One analysis of 500 of the most popular TED Talks of all time found that stories made up 65%, 25% went to logos (reason) and 10% went to ethos (character)
In other words, the winning formula for a TED talk is to wrap the big idea in a story hbr.org/2019/07/the-art-of-p…
