If you're a high-end executive, people would not approach you directly but try to find a connection to you (which also serve as references). For all other roles the first few messa…

I guess it's important who one hears this from. I just spoke to a fried who is a headhunter and who's been trying to automate his processes for a while (he likes to fiddle and cert…

Addictive! Made it to #16 but now got some serious PTSD about flying lol

Similar. I gave it a really hard task, basically messy code in a complex domain that was bug-ridden from a mess previously created half manually and half by Opus. It cleaned things…

Bit surprised about the amount of flak they're getting here. I found the article seemed clear, honest and definitely plausible. The deterioration was real and annoying, and shines …

Read a super interesting paper by McEntire lately, “The Organizational Physics of Multi-Agent AI”. In short, he proved that even AI agents exhibit all the dysfunctions one would no…

I've been mulling the same, but decided against (for now) Using Claude Code Max 20 so ROI would be maybe 2+ years. CC gives me unlimited coding in 4-6 windows in parallel. Unsure i…

I re-visited my prompt manager and asked the question: what does it even do differently? I realized it's agents-as-a-service / as an API rather than an SDK. Now looking into making…

Whatever it is, if you have the Omega 13 you get a chance to correct it! Though that one might not help for slow-moving deterioration...

Over 10 years ago, the best satellites had 500W/kg [2]. Modern solar panels that are designed to be light are at 200g per sqm [1]. That's 5sqm per kg. One sqm generates ca. 500W. S…

And it's not the same at all. 5x the solar panels on the ground means 5x the power output in the day, still 0 at night. So you'd need batteries. If you add in bad weather and winte…

I may be wrong, but here's how I got the idea: "liefert Huawei mit dem Cloud-Betriebssystem Huawei OpenStack Distribution" So it appears to be a Huawei _distribution_ from https://…

> So think about it for a second: if you can put together a Kubernetes cluster, what high-level service do you absolutely need to be able to put together a working service? Agreed …

1. Europe doesn't have comparable offerings. The amount of money invested is below what a single hyperscaler spends per quarter. (StackIT might be on track to change that looking a…

Happy New Year everyone! 2025 - Visited/lived in: Austria, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, UAE - Started (too many) side-projects - Managed to grow a number of p…

I have no opinion on the matter but wanted to thank you for teaching me "curmudgeonly".

Does importing a solar count against your countries co2 balance?

> If windmills are shut down around noon to make room for PV, the offset is zero. Very important point that is often ignored.

Germany isn't that big, but the difference between Freiburg and Hamburg is very significant in this case I believe

We're processing tenders for the construction industry - this comes with a 'free' bucket sort from the start, namely that people practically always operate only on a single tender.…

That's a good point, but I doubt that Sonnet adding a very contrived bug that crashes my app is some genius move that I fail to understand. Unless it's a MUCH bigger play where thr…

I see your point. Let me clarify what I'm trying to say: - I consider LLMs a pro user tool, requiring some finesse / experience to get useful outputs - Using an LLM _directly_ for …
