    Or even just let me make a thread in github without associating it with files / a line of code. I hate it when conversations span top-level messages.

    In today's AI times, I find it a little amusing to think about emojis as an automation of the craft of making ascii art. Is a little different since people don't get paid for that,…

    I completely agree that unverified claims create a heavy burden for maintainers. My only point was about the language used: 'disparaging' to me implies a bad-faith attack or a dism…

    FWIW, I don't think the GP post is disparaging (at least as I read it right now.) I think it is fair to list limitations from using a library that provides an abstraction; it can s…

    I learned about Tile via ads in its early days and then eventually bought it.

    I think a reason for this is suppose the next year you run into some difficulties so it requires 14.2M. Now you have to fight to request an extra 0.2M added to your budget that you…

    'Everyone over 30 knows this' is a prior assumption (it is not necessarily correct; and nothing is said about shame). The comic strip is saying if above is true, then people still …

    Reminds me of ZeptoLab (company that made Cut The Rope)'s Pudding Monsters but it adds a lot more variety. (And it combines them together within one square instead of multiple squa…

    Models like Haiku are great if you just want to apply JSON structure to some free text.

    For SMS, you can block text messages that match keywords via apps like VeroSMS on the iPhone. There may be similar apps on Android. I personally don't think it is possible to get y…

    Strangely I think it was TechCrunch. But I was reading pg's essays years earlier (maybe through Joel On Software) and already had known about yc. Think it was related to the initia…

    The site has been updated now to use the current domain.

    If you do have AI write for you, I think it is useful to indicate what is going on by having a rule set up for it. That can at least prepare the reader for reading AI text. I perso…

    The line numbers were also used for GOTO and GOSUB (although later on languages supported strings instead of numbers).

    There are tools that use LLMs to do this. I've done this manually by building a big feature branch and asking an LLM to extract out functionality for a portion of it. For the forme…

    The GP said more with LLMs than people - not no interactions at all with people and not preferring machines to people. I don't think it is that hard to spend more time talking with…
