I am interested in finding out how much market share Microsoft, Apple and Linux have, on computers that access the Internet. What is the best source of this data?

Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed the TAKE IT DOWN Act, giving the powerful a dangerous new route to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech that they simply don't like. President Trump himself has said that he would use the law to censor his critics. The bill passed the Senate in February, and it now heads to the president's desk. 

The takedown provision in TAKE IT DOWN applies to a much broader category of content—potentially any images involving intimate or sexual content—than the narrower NCII definitions found elsewhere in the bill. The takedown provision also lacks critical safeguards against frivolous or bad-faith takedown requests. Services will rely on automated filters, which are infamously blunt tools. They frequently flag legal content, from fair-use commentary to news reporting. The law’s tight time frame requires that apps and websites remove speech within 48 hours, rarely enough time to verify whether the speech is actually illegal. As a result, online service providers, particularly smaller ones, will likely choose to avoid the onerous legal risk by simply depublishing the speech rather than even attempting to verify it.

Congress is using the wrong approach to helping people whose intimate images are shared without their consent. TAKE IT DOWN pressures platforms to actively monitor speech, including speech that is presently encrypted. The law thus presents a huge threat to security and privacy online. While the bill is meant to address a serious problem, good intentions alone are not enough to make good policy. Lawmakers should be strengthening and enforcing existing legal protections for victims, rather than inventing new takedown regimes that are ripe for abuse. 

Bored playing the nth round of Uno, I thought it would be fun to write a game with my 4 year old daughter.

Using Claude Sonnet 3.7 as our "developer" and me acting as the "Product Manager" aka LLM translator, I tried to capture her instructions as verbatim as I could, only adding context to make the prompts work.

The result is a simple browser game which you can play. I added a writeup of all the prompts along the way so you can see how this was put together.

It was only after I realised where she drew her inspiration from.

If you have kids, it's definitely a fun exercise. My wife and I were blown away with how quickly we got something working, my daughter grew tired of it after about a minute.... I fear that this generation will never really appreciate how much effort this used to take.

I have build two simple products. One was about video and other was search related idea. Both did not do well. I made mistake of building thinking I have this problem so others might as well. But, that did not turn out to be true despite a little positive response earlier.

I am curious, as a software engineer and introvert tech person, how and where do you find problems for b2b? We are mostly isolated in our worlds. It is hard to get meetings to understand and validate problem. Where do you see people to talk to?

For example, sales enablement can get lift from a lot AI focused work. But, no one responded even to discuss whether this problem exists.

I will appreciate if you got any insights around this.

Are you concerned about the rapidly growing number of services/tools and other software created by inexperienced developers with the help of AI in just a couple of evenings?

I believe that the abundance of such services in the near future could create 'problems' for the functioning of well-built software. In other words, it may become increasingly difficult for developers of quality software to monetize their work. But perhaps I’m wrong.
