Thanks for the callout. My mac mini runs M5

I have not, but I am looking into it now. Thanks!

I really want a Linux laptop. The problem is that Apple's M series CPUs are too good.

Some content creators are too focussed on their work that they might not have noticed the debate going on online about AI-generated images and all they wanted was a cool image for …

In highschool, my history teacher's home work assignments were to write out the notes he created and handed out for us. Essentially the assignments were to read chapters from the t…

I recently updated Claude to respond with shorter text and in bullet points, and other similar changes. It is an area of active improvements on my end. But early results are in. No…

Human evolution does not occur in a vecuum. I suspect there will still be preasure to get smarter (how ever way you define that) because of competition with other humans.

> You can set up custom instructions to be less verbose and less jargon dense. You seem to be confusing the default RLHF personality with the inherent nature of AI. It will write h…

I agree, they shouldn't just proxy the Claude output directly to the SWEs. THey can use Claude all they want, but the output of their effort (which goes to the SWEs) should be unde…

The mental model I like to use is something along the lines of the LLM is a firehose and my brain is a mere straw and that we have to eventually get all the important parts to tric…

Very cool. How have you liked the results of doing this? Any pitfalls so far with this approach?

Prediction of a future transcript at a press conference after some major AI caused disaster: "We had no idea that the model would be capable of..... ".

The problem is picking between models. I do not want to spend my time switching models and trying to decipher which model should be used for what. Maybe that's just a me problem th…

What if we remove the stigma of authors using AI. We say, have at it, use all the AI you want. What then? The market is still finite. The authors are still competing with each othe…

I think the name of the game is going to be "how do we maximize output while keeping token counts low". For example, finding ways to replace AI workflows, even if minor ones, with …

The author said that Claude was not good at refactoring. But the author was using Sonnet 5. I supect Opus 5 would have done a lot better at refactoring. It would have come up with …

I like Bill's initial response to Steve... "No, there's no way to do that. In fact it would be really hard to do, and I don't think we really need it". Classic developer response w…

Regex came up so infrequent that I found myself referring to documentation whenever I needed to use it. But I always wondered, what are the jobs or roles that use it so often that …

I think that the onus is on us to get better at using agents and AI to solve the pain points and speed things up while keeping quality high and our mental tools sharpened. I do nto…

> So what’s the ideal “middle ground” in this situation? I use agents to code. But I remember the early days of just AI smart complete in the IDE, where as the programmer I had to …

Oh yeah, i should have guessed. Thanks for pointing it out.

IMHO they should cosnider re-releasing the 3310. It might sell similar to vinyl. Maybe update the games section to have some more games.

The concern would be the ever increasing cost of GPUs. I imagine to help mitigate the risk, having a setup where more GPU's can be added on, and the old ones can still be used (as …

Sounds expensive
