    Author here. Anthropic shipped Artifacts in Claude Code this week — agent-built HTML pages you share with your team. Surface is a small, open take on a similar idea, but two-way: t…

    It's amusing to think that the endgame is that the humans in the loop are parents with credit cards. I suppose you could never be sure that an agent would explicitly follow your in…

    Do you think this'll eventually be trained into the models the way that chain-of-thought has been?

    As a reader of Simon's work, I can speculate an answer here. All "designing agentic loops" is context engineering, but not all context engineering is designing agentic loops. He's …

    Maybe this is their long term plan for getting rid of the camera bump.

    This can be difficult because the money is often funneled through other entities (as LPs to VC and growth funds, etc.) I've had more than one VC tell me they couldn't guarantee tha…

    I've been living in vd for the last few months for data analysis. It's been beyond helpful, including for examining ugly nested JSON data. It's been extremely valuable for feature …

    I loved Whitefish when I was there, and would have considered it for the long term but was concerned about reports of a growing alt-right contingent in town. Have you encountered t…

    Even if you have a terrible experience in your doctoral program, much of its outward value is in the program's reputation. Giving a program a negative review hurts the perceived va…

    This sounds perfect for my burning man camp. Now we won't have to sit at the pepper mill debating how to split things fairly.

    Your response is flawed. Not wearing a mask is not an essential liberty. And yes, if large numbers of Americans don't wear masks, that will kill more people than would die if we al…

    I lived in New York for a good chunk of Foursquare's life, and while it was magical, at least half of the population hated the concept, for good reason. Every woman I knew who had …

    I've had this debate with my academic advisor at CMU. I'd take a trained speaker–even an actor who doesn't actually know the material he/she's describing–as a primary lecturer any …
