    Here's another article that explains the guy called in an expert who told him "at least $100K crashed through your roof." Doesn't mention if he actually sold it though, unless I mi…

    I don't think we're far enough into this game to know what winning even looks like. If the US frontier labs are losing, it may have been their own missteps on handling such massive…

    Do you even get "answers" though? It's hard to explain, but AI mostly doesn't get the nuance of my thinking right. I'll read a response and right away know it's a non-answer for my…

    The article is describing how every harness functions. If you're already using Codex, Claude Code, or Antigravity then you're already doing this. And you get a lot of usage. I gene…

    I think the more interesting thing is to actually get Claude to stop saying it. Or to get an AI to do things you want, but more precisely. Ran into an issue the other day where I c…

    My solution to this is to dump it into an LLM and a prompt that roughly does something like... Hand wavy list just to get a general idea... 1) Give me a condensed summary 2) Is thi…

    And speaking of technology, it would have been great to see the Phase Plasma Rifle at a 40 watt range make an appearance, if only by mention of name again.

    Add me to the list of skeptics. 1) A lot of companies simply won't trust Chinese models 2) These companies will still trust a direct frontier provider over a non Chinese company ho…

    Nostalgic post from back in the day when he wrote an RIP post for a friend, Dean Allen. https://om.co/2018/01/18/dean-allen-rest-in-peace/

    Whenever I see the cost indicator in my harness while building some probably useless thing, I'm reminded that probably everyone else is doing the same thing. Spending loads of imag…

    I imagine at least part of the reason this doesn't make sense to you is because you're not a decision maker working at that scale. It made sense to someone at a high level. The cal…

    We can't do it. We standardized. They got us.

    I never had a desire to post questions there. Comments or answers only if it were something I felt a personal stake in (community that we were trying to bring up) or the rare case …

    > I saw a LinkedIn post a week or two ago by a senior engineer with 25 years’ experience in the industry... And how many years have we had capable AI? Maybe it's going to take a si…

    Yeah, punk was a bit of a rejection of the polish of the big bands of the time. In a sense, the "horrible" was sort of the point. And for the shock value. But did that really mean …

    And you could say similar for the transition between painting and photography. ETA: It's interesting how the bottleneck may reveal the real skill in the thing. Architecting the cod…

    One of my favorite movies as a kid was Explorers (1985) where kids built a spaceship from a Tilt-A-Whirl and other parts. It was an inspiration. Like you, I enjoy programming, but …
