    It seems clear that AI can port libraries at will to any other language. So even if we disagree on which language should win, the best libraries will be ported regardless. Each has…

    Thank you. I will also immediately stop using backblaze. Its purpose is to independently back up my hard drive. Not to pick and choose.

    I’d add that token pricing doesn’t work for anyone but the frontier models. Everything else will be commodified. So Opus can charge us top prices per token until a lower (or local)…

    This is a great idea. Did you happen to release the source for this? I run into this all the time!

    We shall call it Achilles, as Claude Mythos is its only weakness.

    It also depends on if the CVEs can be fixed by LLMs too. If they can find and fix them, then it's very good.

    Exactly. C++ is still waiting for its "uv" moment, so until then modules aren't even close to solved.

    I suspect Capybara was the internal code name for what is now named Mythos

    I’m writing a new type of CRDT that supports move/reorder/remove ops within a tree structure without tombstones. Claude Code is great at writing some of the code but it keeps addin…

    You should consider calling these "behaviors" to mimic behavior trees in game / robot AI. They follow the same notion of a single behavior being active at once: https://en.wikipedi…

    From what I've seen a ton of people are using Claude Code or Cursor daily. I wouldn't be surprised if most startups are at 100% use right now. The big tech companies are a bit slow…

    This is great! Please consider even easier settings for kids. Maybe 2 notes (not 4) as the min starting point and slower ramp up as you succeed. Also, I think the missed the first …

    In a similar way I changed all of my build and deployment scripts to Go not long ago. The actual benefit was utility functions used by the service could be shared in deployment. So…

    GitHub actions are expensive enough that self-hosted was the only real option. I can't imagine this will do anything other than push people from the entire ecosystem.

    I thought the recent error proposal was quite interesting even if it didn't go through: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/71528 My hope is they will see these repeated pain point…

    Iac is definitely a failure point, but the manual alternative is much worse! I’ve had a lot of benefit from using pulumi, simply because the code can be more compact than the terra…

    The correct term was always “download”. We should be allowed to download and run anything we want on our own phones.

    Thank you. This is beautiful said. I will also add that I don’t think chat bots are the final product, so it leaves the open question which product is the last one not being commod…

    I know this is highly controversial, but I now leave the comments in. My theory is that the “probability space” the LLM is writing code in can’t help but write them, so if i leave …

    To give you a process that might help: I’ve found you have to use Claude Code to do something small. And as you do it iterate on the CLAUDE.md input prompt to refine what it does b…

    It’s this exactly. Gifted programs help many kids who wouldn’t have been able to access other options. If you close them rich people will simply go private, and the rest of the peo…
