It’s amazing how much Python punishes you for modularizing your code

I’m heavy into rust and never really use golang, but one big benefit of go over rust is compile times are significantly quicker, which could be more fun if you’re running CI checks…

Yeah it’s a coding beast if you get it dialed in right

gotta admit i groaned a bit at this because it would make rust more complicated, but on my 2nd read i realized: - some things (compile time bounds checking tensor shapes) are hard …

Anthropic is not trustworthy for this because they force every Claude Code user to agree to a noncompete while also opting them in to model training. That means, by default, every …

surprisingly accurate! Is Gary the AI equivalent of the “nothing ever happens” guy?

genius, great idea and follow through, please keep it up, this could improve the ML industry tremendously, maybe some einops inspired interface for this would be good?

building this openclaw thing that competes with openai using codex is against the openai terms of service, which say you can't use it to make stuff that competes with them. but the…

signal should just add better API / bot stuff and then we could all use that. there's no way OpenAI would be trustworthy for this; slack certainly isn't

found a bug searching for "collagen": Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node. Something broke. We're working on it, but in th…

Yes! The paywalled SQL documents are a big annoyance

Yup, I’ve been crowing about these customer noncompetes for years now and it’s clear Anthropic has one of the worst ones. The real kicker is, since Claude Code can do anything, you…

Why act like it’s a mystery when the Claude Code repo clearly explains: > When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback, which includes usage data (such as code acceptance or rejec…

Would SRAM make weight updates prohibitive vs DRAM?

Gemini is absolutely not Gryffindor since it auto-opts users into training AI on their codebases without informed consent

Anthropic also has legal terms that say no one is allowed to use the service for anything work related, but nobody seems to care

Cursor still wins over Claude Code because Cursor has privacy mode

I think it’s more about deciding how much to think about stuff and not a model router per se. 5 and 5.1 get progressively better calibrated reasoning token budgets. Also o3 and “re…

model provider CLIs are a trap, less freedom of choice, less privacy, way more prohibitions buried in the fine print

Good reason to use Cursor, you can insta-switch to whatever model you want and even run diverse models from different providers at the same time. If one of em isn’t working then yo…

And here I thought it was a pedantic word for “data box”

Is using these terminal agents with customer noncompete and no privacy questionable when cursor has the same models and privacy mode?

The point is it’s sucking your data into some amorphous big brother dataset without explicitly asking you if you want that to happen first. Opt out AI features are generally rude, …

Rust for everything, I could explain but it would get rude

Rust feels easy for me, could it be we’re just used to what we use more? Anyway, it’s all pretty easy, what’s the use arguing which of multiple easy things is easiest?
