Using Claude 3.5 Sonnet Pro, I asked it to generate prose paragraphs.

Using a stopwatch, I started timing when I started seeing characters appear and stopped when the LLM stopped sending text. I figure that the latency is the same both ways so I do not need to compensate for that.

Run 1 - 6.4 sec - 252 words (2362 WPM)

There are a few lists already, I thought I'd create another one so we can have a long list of lists someday. 🤠 Ordered by approximately which ones I actually use often.

Modern CLI Replacements

• zoxide - A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.

• Procs - A modern replacement for ps written in Rust
• sd - Intuitive find & replace CLI (sed alternative)
• dust - A more intuitive version of du in rust

I'm sad that the world has adopted English as the language of science and business. English is a mutt language that has never been redone, reworked or even designed. It's a combination of ice cream, meatballs and wine. All fine things by themselves but terrible when combined.

There are more English learners than there are native English speakers in the world. I'm really sorry world. I'm just so so sorry that you have to learn Germanic-French-Latin nonsense. It's terrible. It's a terrible language.

Update: I wrote this before I read Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson. It's fantastic and a better write-up of what I'm trying to say here.

Amazon is Almost

AWS is full of almost things. This is a list of surprises across all services. Your job as an engineer is to think critically about trade offs. Amazon is an abstraction on hardware. You reap hardware bliss ignorance but you pay for the abstraction. There is no free lunch. Hardware still exists. Hardware in itself is an abstraction.

With AWS you are renting a hardware abstraction to avoid having to host your own. They do not run the abstractions after this point. You do.
