I have bought every generation of Xbox since the original (I had it in 2005). This is a dealbreaker for me. Won’t be buying their next gen system.

My rule is: I only let AI code for me, I don’t let it think for me. Since writing is thinking, coding is thinking since coding is writing. That means any time I am not certain how …

Yall are missing my point - you don’t gotta replace the upper management - they will continue to hold the responsibility for outcomes and problems like they do today. There will ju…

Can someone make an AI agent to target automating tasks of upper management already so they feel the pain as well? You don’t need to even replace them outright, just make your agen…

That question is probably what inspired someone to create the first ever derivatives market

Great piece, but it misses the elephant in the room: the lion's share of economic benefit from refactoring will come from the fact that it makes it easier for humans to understand.…

Claude code? Who’s talking about Claude code? I am talking about generative AI. It has been better than humans at coding for years . It is also currently much better at things like…

The final user-facing responses are usually a tiny fraction of the total tokens used over the course of a given conversation turn. When you're doing any real work, reasoning and to…

If you want to fully understand / contribute to / fully leverage the most powerful technology humanity has ever devised (AI), you must learn to read and write code. That’s the only…

If you used a time machine to go back to 2021 and showed someone the best open source LLMs from 2026 they would surely say “yeah that’s AGI”

This is the way. But also - keep your head up - your mindset matters more than you think. If you consider yourself a victim of your circumstances with no agency, this will be harde…

I wish I could upvote this twice. We (devs) really REALLY need to consider on-device compute before going to the cloud for LLM inference.

Comment #48067556
IDK if the author's 'metacognition' needs to be a feature of the LLM itself. I could imagine a harness that 1) reads LLM output 2) uses a research sub-agent to attempt to verify an…

This article forgot the strongest argument for hand writing your code. When the process is done, you understand it at a depth far beyond any vibe coder who created the same thing

Are you telling me juniors aren’t facing hard problems anymore? I doubt that’s the case. They’re probably banging their heads against the wall trying to understand why this or that…
