If you treat politics as a religion then you argue merits. Most common people care for abundance and affluence. Any system that helps them arrive there is ok.

In short being a high agency person is now more important than ever.

I learned some Forth and played around right before the LLM trend began. It was a mind bending experience, although I quit after a while as the programs were kind of glass sheet qu…

0.0001 km, or 10 cm would take 0.00003385 suns, or 6.72857 × 10²⁵ kg Obviously that's not possible by today's physics. But lets say it was possible, by placing it some where space,…

Well I thought this is a real black hole. Forgive my ignorance. But what would it take to put a fist sized black hole in your room.

>>For non coding related tasks I use local models. What sort of hardware are you using to run local models? And how do you use them?

>>Deepseek will be sanctioned and therefore no provider will offer it anymore. That is possible inside the US. How do you do it all over the world? You have to convince every count…

The question is what work do you do, that burns so many tokens. Are in you sending it to work in nested for loops? If yes, what sort of work would that be?

>>So how these companies and people manage to use these absurd amount of tokens is a mystery to me. Absolutely! I know some colleagues who are routinely spending thousands of dolla…

>>My impression is that the saying "Perl makes easy things easy and hard things possible" really does hold up. People who haven't used Perl to its full power have little how idea j…

Have literally seen a 'architect astronaut' crap on Perl in some 2 hour long call, and eventually had his way with getting the management to approve Java. This was mid-2000s When o…

Talking to toxic people. Its so exhausting walking on eggshells, and engineering discussions to avoid conflicts.

There is more than that, though. Deadlines, Next Tasks, Weekly list purge/build, Yearly alignment etc etc. Also how you teach somebody a thing matters. Stories have a profound effe…

Its not marginal improvement. Validated data coming out of LLM(Itself generated from a recursive/loop process, used to incrementally arrive at solutions) being using to improve the…

This. The real profits will eventually come from selling a McMansion on Elysium.

Agency is just to keep moving, like stop at nothing and keep moving, no matter what. Movement generates information, that can be used to make further decisions, even if you actuall…

Yes, You have to start some where. Im guessing, making progress also brings in new ideas how to move further.

The heuristic is this- Given a problem P- 1. Provide a list(S) of solutions(S1, S2 ... SN) ordered in the most efficient(For some definition of efficiency) implementation means pos…
