it's a worthwhile lesson. thank you. There was a great deal of effort on my part, but not in the prose. You've taught me something and I appreciate it.

it's not that you're teaching the AI, it's that you're framing the conversation on a reference material and having a conversation around it. Exploring a problem with referential fr…

I'm trying to untangle the "this content isn't valuable" signal from the luddite "Anything with AI is low effort slop" I appreciate the former and am trying to filter the latter.

I'll give a software example because I'm just better at it, but if you describe Trello and tell me to decompose it on a white board I start thinking in terms of queues and write|ed…

It's not a trick bud. The github page shows my user name and Claude. The content is intended to be read by an AI agent and explored through a text interface. That is explicit in th…

my apologies it wasn't up to your standards. In fairness to me, that line is exactly what my effort was. I wasn't trying to "learn ML" I am trying to build a mental model that let'…

I've bounced off of many good textbooks. Even Karpathy's YouTube series was too dense for me. I'm trying to come in at a more palatable level. This was a two day exploration where …

I'm just trying to develop the lens where I can see a problem and know what properties of it are meaningful from an ML standpoint. Coming from a specific domain where I have a shar…

This is my weekend project. I am building up my pattern recognition in machine learning. By that I mean see X problem, instantly think of Y solution. The primer markdown file is th…

For me getting the AI harness to solve the puzzle has become the puzzle. Just one more level of abstraction. Just like I don't code in assembly language anymore, now I don't name e…

I find this so hard to get my head around. I am wildly more prolific with agentic coding. It's at minimum a 10x for the first several iterations and when you get into the heavy det…

Even if the round trip efficiency is 25%? Seasonal storage at competitive prices per megawatt hour is somewhat of a solved problem it just doesn't seem to be getting investment.

You essentially outline why it should be broken up. I'm not convinced making the ad tech sector more competitive would prompt that outcome but, "It would disrupt mature products" i…

It is insane how tone deaf most of the comments are, jarring even. I forget how insular so much of the community is and I often make the mistake of equating intelligence, which exi…

I've read the couple of critical responses but on merit, the message is true. Anecdotally, my wife takes hundreds of photos every month that essentially no one will ever see again.…
