I've been using git spice ( https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice/ ) for the stacked PRs part of graphite and it's been working pretty well and it's open source and free.

How do they make the context window longer? (serious question, I want to learn how this works)

Funny I'm a professional engineer and happily call myself "vibe coding" when writing code these days, it started as tongue in cheek, but now I've embraced it. Being good at vibe co…

Not sure why you're downvoted. I've tried Robotaxi a few times and has been great. They still have a safety driver these days and wait time is a big high though.

A few large companies with big cash stockpiles and profit can eat this the first couple years, not so for startups and companies with thin margins.

How are you writing your prompts? I usually break a feature down to smaller task level before I prompt an agent (claude code in my case) to do anything. Feature level is often too …

I feel this way too. It was scary the first couple weeks, but I'm glad I gave it more of a chance. Over time you learn when to trust it and what situations it you need to take over…

Uber has used this tactic many times in their early days. It mostly worked because citizens got used to cheap rides and got mad at their government for taking it away.

Became a fan of Mullvad when I visited China. It was the most reliable VPN app I tested and you can have up to 5 devices per account.

I remember this. Wish I'd kept my little piece of history. Written at a time when people were still optimistic and hopeful about tech.

I wonder if you can train a neuronetwork to have the kind of intuition Ramanujan had. How incredible would it be for math discoveries. Then separate AIs to try and prove or disprov…

They did promote their Chief Financial Officer to President not too long ago. The signs have been pointing that way for a while before that though.

How does it change things if they had their own communications platform and someone hacked that to send this message?

My e-bike uses the same battery cells used in Electric cars, so I have to give credit to what Tesla and the electric car industry has done to make long range ebike batteries afford…

honestly, the mental math around metric time demonstrated in this post makes me think we should go the opposite way and make everything else base 12 instead of making time base 10.…

How do you know? do you have insider knowledge of this or is it just based on what they share publically?

Over 200 GitHub stars already, wonder if it’ll reach 1000 stars first or if Google would issue a take down notice first. Popularly of this clearly shows there’s demand for it, so I…

The 2nd part of the CVS section was funny too "[...] This experience is why Linus dislikes CVS and for years refused to use any version control beyond uploading tar balls to FTP si…

Yep, they have massive energy demand and going full steam ahead in all energy sources.

It's expensive because no investment has been made to scale it up and make cheaper & safer, whereas a ton of subsidies and investment went into scaling up solar and making that che…

It wouldn't surprise me at all if some large repos at Google or Facebook now get to that many, it's easy to do once you have robots committing code (usually configuration changes).…

Uber adopted Bazel a few years ago for their Go and Java monorepos, which is the majority of their code at the time. I doin't know the state of their UI repos.

Interesting to see this discovery today on Satoshi's birthday (April 5th, 1975). Also the 90th anniversary of Executive Order 6102.

2009*

My mom passed away while I was a young adult, she had a mental illness that was going to get worse and I’m the only child. It took over a year to get over her passing, but in hinds…
