    Most customer value is in trust. If the LLM has pretty good judgement and easy to configure sandbox then fewer bad experiences by customers equals better trust. So it is clearly a …

    How is it going to work for corporate customers. What if one us employee writes claude output into a ticket, can that be read by a non us citizen employee? What about paraphrased?

    The big bet here is that anthropic stays ahead of the curve and is the goto tool for businesses. The risk is disruption to that leader position, or that it can't sell all those tok…

    I'd like write program / run program / debug program to be as easy as it is in roblox. It isn't that easy though, the set of things you need to do it well is extensive. I wouldn't …

    Scrolling through those images it just feels like intellectual theft on a massive scale. The only place I think you're going to get genuinely new ideas is from humans. Whether thos…

    I think if your university doesn't do in person exams with pen and paper then the degrees it hands out are not much evidence of anything. If you're not interested in learning the c…

    Even with anyhow there is a lot of boilerplate it seems to me dealing with crates that don’t use it. I haven’t tried snafu but its name does not inspire confidence. Clanker (ai ass…

    I do feel like better application sandboxing is needed but so much open source software is built on the Unix abstraction meaning you have to run in a container, but macOS doesn’t h…

    Looks a bit like Rust. My peeve with Rust is that it makes error handling too much donkey work. In a large class of programs you just care that something failed and you want a good…

    I think that vibe coding now with anthropic tools and the latest model means that the cost of writing integration tests is significantly reduced. When the company ships a large pro…

    yeah but machines don't produce horseshit, or do they? (said in the style of Vsauce)

    It looks from the public writeup that the thing programming the DNS servers didn't acquire a lease on the server to prevent concurrent access to the same record set. I'd love to se…

    I actually prefer a game where the rules mostly come from the DM. I think it is better if there is no players handbook. The characters develop along their story arc, e.g. at some p…

    People say don't reinvent the wheel usually in a business context because writing from scratch is usually a lot more work than using existing technologies. Sure reusing technologie…

    Me no like inconsistent use of spaces. x += labelW+20; hDescEdit = createModernEdit(hwnd, x, y, editW, btnH, ID_DESC_EDIT); x += editW + gap; What no clang-format or equiv in 1990?…

    Am I alone in thinking that all the stuff I get for free (in exchange for some amount of targeted advertising) from Google is pretty cool and that these attempts to break up big te…

    Games are much easier than real work and provide more consistent dopamine hits with their graphics, sound effects and feeling of progression. Factorio while fun is a long way from …

    There seem to be a bunch of folks for whom shaking the legs is an important part of the process. Can be a bit distracting to others in a team workspace. It makes me wonder whether …

    Yeah I'm the same. I can visualize my house. When debugging and there are large number of numbers in systems to keep track of then arranging the systems on a piece of paper just to…

    I can't help but wonder whether the major problem is actually API changing from version to version of software and keeping everything compatible. If the build language is LUA, does…

    From the Linux conference video I watched I think they have the wrong approach. They’re trying to improve a bad api by adding types do describe it’s awkward behavior. The C program…

    It is a fail/succeed mindset rather than a play mindset I imagine. I definitely feel a difference between a chore and a game. That said not all chores are easily turned into games.…

    Any chance of a window manager that lets you alt tab between windows instead of between applications. So Alt-tab-tab-tab takes you 3 windows ago, not 3 applications ago, or worse 1…
