For those who are interested in what spawned this project: https://runemud.com I had been working on it for a couple years, using it myself. I finally released it recently. It heav…

I'm releasing Lunar, a new Lua 5.1 compiler and virtual machine written entirely in Go. It includes the standard libraries, coroutines as well as supporting Lua 5.2-style goto. The…

If anyone is interested, I launched a new mud client in 2026: https://runemud.com I had been working on it for a couple years, using it myself. I finally released it recently. A nu…

I have zero consumer debt and pay off any credit card at the end of the month. But I don’t mind work expenses on my personal card? I get reward benefits for a sizable chunk of expe…

I hope they bring back the former UI that allowed you to explicitly toggle "AI / Agent" mode on/off in a terminal session, and gets rid of the Oz / Cloud Agent stuff. I don't want …

Thank you for that tip, I'll try that.

I used to like Warp and was a paying customer. It had a simple UI with a clear button / key combo to toggle the “agent mode”. That, plus the fact it could “warpify” my SSH connecti…

I think voice mode uses weaker models, just an FYI relative to the SOTA

It reminds me of the standard counter to the Chinese Room thought experiment: the person inside doesn’t understand Chinese, but the system _does_. The person, the rules, and the lo…

How can you tell that you were breached?

Claude Code has gotta be way cheaper for this, right?

Yes. That is it

This past month Parakeet v3 dropped with a streaming ASR model that is 0.6B params, can run on a CPU and is super good.

I agree that DeepSeek and others have been doing most of the published research for future frontier models. But I’m not sure we can say they the big US companies aren’t doing found…

This is handy for maintaining a resume! I converted my resume to LaTeX with Claude Code recently. Being able to iterate on this code-form of my document is so much nicer than fight…

Perhaps concentrated use of Claude Code increases their perceived market value. It also perhaps tries to preserve some moat around their product/service.

I think that’s more a critique of the modern caricature of stoicism than of Stoicism itself. Classical Stoicism isn’t about suppressing emotions. It’s about understanding your emot…

I read the Dbos vs Temporal thing, but can you speak more about if there is a different in durability guarantees?

This from quantizing their Gemini model? There are a lot of anecdotal reports of quality differences following some Gemini 2.5 Pro releases earlier in the year.

Hilarious. It’s impossible to have an original thought!

Fixed, thanks.

Gary Marcus tends to have pretty shallow analysis or points. His takes often remind me of Jim Cramer’s stock analysis — to the point I’d be willing to bet on the side of a “reverse…
