If you’re gonna make a blanket statement that misleads most people, but when challenged, defend it on narrow technicalities, then you just want to mislead people.

I don't have a measured plug on it, but estimate roughly around ~32-38w.

Yep. My 2010 server does everything I need incredibly well, and I see no point in retiring it anytime soon. ASRock H67M-ITX, i3 2.5GHz, 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz, 2TB+4TB SSDs, DVD-RW, in …

I get what you're trying to say, but coding is hard. A significant percentage of children struggle with it from the very beginning, unable to reason in a very specific way, read an…

The comment I responded to suggested that we don't really have to be "insulted" because code is actually not hard, good code is hard. But the statement "code was never the hard par…

That's why I said "that you can use AND meets regulation". All software on average.

Why does it have to be Shakespeare? There are millions of good writers that got there by working hard. Seems pointless to go into either extreme, when just being good at anything i…

> Writing code is not hard. Writing correct code is. Knowing what is correct in a setting with paying customers generally involves interacting with those customers. That's like say…

I started out using OpenCode with subagents. Then, after switching to Pi, went completely subagentless, usually on the current frontier GPT model. I didn't notice any significant c…

We probably differ a lot in what we consider "basic". Are subagents basic? I found them only useful in very few situations. Is LSP support basic? There are mixed results on whether…

I often find it reductive when people say "just tell Pi to build you an extension". Having used it as my one and only harness for a few months now, it's easy to get an extension, b…

Because of the way humans learn, and everyone’s reference point being different (e.g. I know this, I don’t know that), this is very valuable if the author can provide a good explan…

I think this is called "maladaptive behavior" in psychology. You point to bad incidents, find your favorite common factor that makes it easy to categorize the incidents in one buck…

So which one is it: don't care about politics, or care to preserve intellectual multiculture? Part of the issue is that we don't have intellectual multiculture. We have a ton of no…

There are 2 kinds of smart successful people out there: those who realize that they have great instincts/intelligence in an area, and those who think that because of that, they now…

Another point that goes along with this: good engineering is not premature optimization[1]. [1]: https://max.engineer/premature-optimization

The difference between a million and a billion is a billion. It's basically 0 to 100.

There was a phase, which I also got sucked into at the time, that comments are bad. Problem is, to make your code be so self-explanatory that it conveys business decisions, backgro…

I have been on a quest to get AI to code like me, using pi harness, and any model that it can support. I'm mostly a Ruby programmer, so here's my journey so far. 1. Created a "codi…

I think this is not quite right. There are news, and there's entertainment (opinions and punditry). News actually have journalistic standards. They try to stay truthful and retract…

You must've missed the OpenAI's response to Anthropic forcing everyone to their own harness if they want subscription pricing: official endorsement of custom harnesses like opencod…

I think the author is right. There are many peripheral nice-to-haves you can get from a code review. Bugs, security, performance, correctness issues are all possible bonus findings…

Be careful what you’re centering yourself between. If one side is trying to build decent policy with a small fringe that has almost no political power, and the other side’s fringe …

Yeah. We love the comfort of "getting it", but most of the easy problems have been solved, and we're only left with the hard ones. People are pleasure-seekers, not truth-seekers. P…
