This mechanism is going to be the breaking point for Claude and Codex. The providers are incentivized to get users to accept full permissions so they can push more features and dee…

I've noticed that out of all LLMs I've ever used that Fable is the MOST LLM; the text it produces is abomination. It's impressive how much I hate it. It is such an awful writer - i…

Yeah but like, tests encode behavior… sometimes I go all day without running a test. Sometimes multiple days. I’ve been using unit tests less and debug asserts more and more now da…

I interviewed with them and had a great experience despite it ultimately not being a good fit due to communication issues and a bad flu coming on in the final interview - they, and…

Anyone can have bad security. No one cares. But you can convince those who don’t know better that breaking bad security with an LLM is a once in a civilization investing opportunit…

Model I with four thumb buttons is irreplaceable for me

I recently built a usb hub. I got a box, some usb cables that have a female end and are fitted to mate to the box. If you are curious, it’s a box made for pro-audio equipment with …

Agreed. That seemed to be the consensus in /r/rust

Look, if you can’t take the time to communicate with me, I won’t waste my time listening to you. Writing is not hard. It’s a fundamental skill. Even before LLMs, any successful pro…

LLMs literally are incapable of writing in the way humans are. Generating a string of tokens is a completely different task than composing prose be it fiction, documentation, or pr…

Like set an generic marker struct IsEncrypted where T is yes or now and only allow its state to change when proven and then write the shutdown function to only take the yes variant…

Texas is where companies go to die.

Meh, the amount of effort required to keep up to date with the python ecosystem churn is around the same as learning rust. More so if you are starting from scratch. I quit python a…

Anthropic and OpenAI are stuck on slower and more expensive nvidia hardware. It doesn’t scale like googles TPUs.

The billion dollar “if”

I rewatched it recently and it’s still such a good movie. I’ll always remember the outrage I felt when they go to the hospital when her father needs heart surgery and they have to …

NYT is doing great though. It’s actually doing so well it’s in danger of becoming a monopoly.

I don’t think that will ever be possible. Remember that every other news source is mostly just sourcing content from those legacy media outlets stories. So if they offered it as an…

Bro, they make 99% of the revenue providing internet connection where markets and governments have failed to provide good options. A trillion dollar valuation competing with the co…

The internet’s reaction to Tron 3 was a breaking point for me: either the internet is full of karma farming bots or people really are just stupid, small creatures, incapable of thi…

Yes. I wrote a paper on it a long time ago. Even on the lowest carbon footprint, vegan, diet and even with coal power and even accounting for production and lifetime costs, electri…

The point of software is to encode human will into machine communicable state. The entire complaint here is that automating this risks that was is encoded is not what you want.

I don’t care about gen AI video content. That’s fine. Saves creators from having to buy b-roll. I appreciate cinematography, but it’s not what I come to YouTube for. What I absolut…

It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s a by product of tax policies and lax anti-monopoly policies that allows incompetence to thrive. If a company gets too big to fail, then it stop…
