Wirth's Law I believe.

"Beads is the best. If you're not using Beads, you're failing. Gas Town, which I have just told you was a failure, was built on Beads. Gas City, which also failed, was also built o…

If you wouldn't mind sharing, what's your Comfy workflow for this? I have the same video card setup and would like to give it a shot.

I don't buy it, although I agree with GP's larger point about other strengths. Printing presses are about exact duplication of writing. The internet is a higher layer printing pres…

Nice! Not 100% sure, but it reads very human to me. The only LLM-ism that jumped out at me was "An honest note before we continue", but that was the only time the word "honest" app…

Well, this inevitable flamewar will be a nice change from the pro-AI / anti-AI comment threads, at least...

You just keep right on driving...

There's big money in it, so of course there's going to be a huge PR push to cast it as a great moral and societal good. The thing that gets me is that the rationalists who were suc…

Sure! I use an orchestrator main agent whose only job is to run subagents through the workflow process I've defined. Part of that workflow is to invoke a review subagent at particu…

Subagents whose only job is to review the actions of your other agents for rule compliance? It works reasonably well for me in complex workflows using Claude Code.

And to note, the law in question is from the 1800s -- hardly something novel Wisconsin is doing.

The book clearly and repeatedly makes the point that immersion in ubiquitous computing made the younger generation smarter and quicker than their forebears. Miri was 13 and Juan wa…

Do you really think that if a Chinese model had achieved a significant math breakthrough that it wouldn't be trumpeted to the global media? The "Deepseek moment" was great for Chin…

Well, an oracle except for that part in the same book where unlimited access to the internet made all children prodigies self-motivated by their love of learning.

The fully loaded cost of employees at that salary level is likely over $100K. You may still be right on the relative expenses, but you can't just look at the top-level salary line.…

Sure, but the original comment said "living out" those fantasies.

I don't know -- it's not even showing Fable in /usage any more, in sessions that were using it just fine moments before. Seems more like a backend change to me.

You missed a great opportunity to title this "The 10 most popular numbers in Hacker News titles"!

For sure! It's possible there are relatively invariant properties that make one language or another "better" for LLM coding in general though (even if that's just the self-fulfilli…

I keep reading articles that suggest that Rust or Go or some other language is optimal for AI development because of feature X or lack of issue Y. Has there been any actual head to…

“An honest caveat…”

There were a lot of European wars between the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War. I agree with your point overall but there was a lot of fighting each other during that timefr…

Yes. It is great for analysis, debugging, and understanding larger segments of code. I'll use it sparingly since it won't be on subscription, but there are cases where it will make…

I'm reading your story now -- it's great space adventure! Congratulations!
