I still work like this, using Aider. What do you mean when you say you “miss” it? (Why not just keep using it?)

I’m a “LLM believer” in a sense, and not someone who derives joy from actually typing out the tokens in my code, but I also agree with you about the hype surrounding Claude Code an…

I love this concept. Looks great, I will definitely check it out.

I’m curious to hear more about how you get useful performance out of your local setup. How would you characterize the difference in “intelligence” of local models on your hardware …

That was my first reaction, too, but it’s not actually nonsense - it’s a depiction of Eminem practicing rhymes in a casual conversation. It’s valid feedback for the author, though.…

Count me among those that didn’t realize how much seed oil is used. But is that bad? I don’t have an axe to grind against cow’s milk, but I do have trouble digesting it (and beside…

It’s hard (impossible?) to know if we’re talking about the same thing or not, but I experience something like this all the time, without being on the edge of sleep. We might both b…

My mother forced me to practice classical string instruments from a very young age, and as a child, I fought her viciously over it. Because she pushed through my complaints and bor…

> Even if you manage to find something that is somewhat relevant to the real world, like green energy research, chances are it might be something highly technical, abstract, and di…

It's a matter of the degree of support. Would it be wrong, in your view, for a wealthy tax-paying parent to invest in their own child above and beyond what their taxes provide for …

I agree with your takeaway message, but the timeline isn’t completely arbitrary. From the perspective of humans appreciating things, there’s a difference between something that end…

Unless you mean that you eventually grew out of the view that extroverts “suffer from severe deficit in their mental makeup”, I wouldn’t call your position “balanced” at all. You’v…

That adaptation may not be appropriate for the modern environment. When exposed to modern/ internet-scale communities, it could be that there are so many false-positive threats to …

Are you suggesting that there are people who practice science that do not rely on trust in others in any way to establish their beliefs?

I sympathize with you (the feeling of being threatened by charlatans). I don't think these feelings reflect reality, though. It can feel like your career will be threatened by the …

You are expanding the scope of the original suggestion to make it seem more extreme. Taxing activities that damage society as a whole (and funneling that money towards mitigating t…

I disagree that this is a slippery slope. The line should be drawn by the people living in the society that draws it. As that society (and the cultural, technological, and environm…

In a society with socialized healthcare, you would be harming others by making it more expensive to care for you in the future. In a society where the price of healthcare is set by…

My (unsubstantiated, off-the-cuff) theory is that empathy/altruism and selfishness are held in equilibrium. Altruistic traits lead to cooperation, which leads to civilization and s…

GP is using “theory of mind” as a technical term with a specific meaning: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind

If you haven’t heard of it, you may be interested in openreview.net They operate mostly in the computer science academic community, last time I checked.
