    Mitchell is a bellwether. This is a 'tipping point' situation. Exodus will be a little at a time, then all at once.

    It's a mistake to confuse what you're seeing out of today's models with what you'll see out of future ones. We're barely out of the gate on this stuff. We'll borrow what works, and…

    I can't tell if you're trolling. Nothing precludes you from doing that with AI-gen code vs human-gen code. What you just described is downstream. If you have a human authoring code…

    You already do this with human-authored code, just slowly. Project model capabilities out a few years. Even if you only assume linear improvement at some point your risk-adjusted o…

    This is an economically sound conclusion. It also means that you need to extract enough value to cover the cost of said tokens, or reduce the economic benefit of finding exploits. …

    Once upon a time S3 used to cache small objects in their keymap layer, which IIRC had a similar threshold. I assume whatever new caching layer they added is piggybacking that. This…

    One thing you can try is powering Clawdbot with a local model. My company recently wrote[0] about it. Unclear what kind of quality you'll get out of it, but since the tokens are al…

    I offhandedly set it up to do a weather alert every 4 hours during the big winter storm. Absent a well-specified API, I can only assume it was repeatedly doing a bunch of work to a…

    This thing is cool except: 1) It chews through tokens. If you're on a metered API plan I would avoid it. I've spent $300+ on this just in the last 2 days, doing what I perceived to…

    After 20+ years with Apple, I'm 90% on Linux at this point. Two desktops, two AI workstations, two laptops, and a handheld. Even my wife is running Linux. My personal phone and wor…

    Hear hear. Elixir is a dream for this kind of stuff. But it requires very different decisions "all the way down" to make it work outside of BEAM. And BEAM itself feels heavy to mos…

    You are right, it is a good litmus test. I suppose it depends on which battle you’re choosing to fight. When I enter such orgs, I join to fix the org. And I want every tool at my d…
