The cat is out of the bag. At this point it's pretty clear that the path to (meaningful) self improvement is almost certainly not subject to meaningful centralized control -- by "m…

i wish they had renamed chatgpt to codex instead of the other way around ...

The "program produces this trace, reproduce it after changing xyz" loop is imo -- a kind of programming primitive for the current agent capabilities ... I've found technique like t…

That's absolutely insane -- how the hell did anyone think that was a good idea under these circumstances ... This is an absolute scam -- why does it make sense for an index's buyin…

"For purposes of mine removal" -- what the hell is that line about ...

Man that conversation history navigation for the new Siri app looks super unuseable ... how the hell am I supposed to actually find the conversation I want with the super-dynamic n…

Is there anything structurally to prevent a super wealthy buyer from guaranteeing this essentially -- moving money and debt around in order to essentially put a floor under the sto…

I only just realized the z in foobaz stood for zork

This is extremely what Ive been wanting -- I had previously thought about using one of the hackish apps that try to deliver this experience - or spinning up something for this myse…

This is super nice!!!!!!

To offer the opposite anecdotal evidence point -- claude scrolls to the top of the chat history almost capriciously often (more often than not) for me using iterm on tahoe

Like so many things -- the evolution of AI math will I think follow trajectories hinted at in the 90s by the all time great sci-fi author Greg Egan. The nature of math won't change…

I really like this style of testing -- code that can be tested this way is also the most fun kind of code to work with and the most likely to behave predictably. I love determinism…

what language are we talking about? If it's cpp then the pronounciation depends on compiler flags (perhaps inferred from CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)

Per-minute pricing for self-hosted runners seems like a very fast way for them to force everyone who actually is using self-hosted runners to migrate away. I suspect we'll be doing…

I'm more and more convinced of the importance of this. There is a very interesting thing happening right now where the "llm over promisers" are incentivized to over promise for all…

Is there any way to implement structured concurrency on top of the std.Io primitive?

What makes a NATS client implementation the right prototype from which to extract a generic async framework layer? This looks interesting but I'm not familiar with NATS

It takes more than just misaligned incentives to get a banking crisis -- you have to have structural corruption preventing the transfer of the loss gradient back to the "misaligned…

In our ci setting up the docker buildx driver to use the artifact registry pull through cache involves (apparently) an auth transaction to dockerhub which fails out

The only figures of note that were assassinated that i can think of were more lefty -- or at least non right -- jfk, mlk, harvey milk, bobby kennedy, malcolm x -- were there actual…

Kirk's murder itself made the front page ... so we clearly don't always ignore politically adjacent topics here

Personally i cancelled my disney+ subscription for this (paid for via verizon) and made sure to explicitly say why. I encourage others to do the same. I don't care about Jimmey Kim…

Why the heck is this 600+ comment thread not on the front page?
