    It seems that this could have been expanded or contracted to any Fibonacci number of myths.

    Back in the days of the LAMP stack, the use of Linux would have been much less obvious and thus warranted the inclusion of the "L" in the acronym. After all, leaving it out might a…

    I don't love the appeal to romanticism portrayed in this article.

    I'm unfamiliar with these stacks but including "U" / Unix seems odd. I suspect these run completely fine on Linux, Windows or macOS. Its almost like including an "E" in your stack …

    I use both. Not because I am cool, but because it is cost effective for personal projects with two $20 / month plans. It is also nice to be able to see what the state of the art is…

    I don't know how intentional it is / was, but LLMs in general just love to hear themselves talk!

    I don't think it is meant to be objectively the most efficient interface. It is more about being remarkable in a Seth Godin sense. For me I just want things to be blazing fast insi…

    I've notice that as well. If you don't know how to do something having an agent with tools is great (in general, not just PH). But, its also quite slow and imprecise. I think that …

    It seems like an odd thing to run locally with so many dependencies.

    What I don't understand is, what kind of legitimate criminal would not use such techniques? Are bank robbers planning things out on iMessage? If so, presumably they won't be crimin…

    I don't think $4B is reasonable for an acquihire. They must see value in the technology.

    Zig is really nice. I enjoy using it a lot. Glad to hear that it is getting a little more funding.

    Its hard to find a middle ground between fully understanding everything in a PR vs a vibe coding type approach. Can you understand "just a little bit" of a PR and merge it into a c…

    While I don't know, I suspect the boy's parents do not share your views. He is able to ride a tricycle and improving.

    A 2nd year project back in the day was to build a 4 bit CPU on a breadboard. We had the advantage of having an ALU IC but was still quite tough to get working!

    I think a better metric these days is what percentage of code is not reviewed / understood by humans. That is the real bottleneck. Until we can stop looking at the code, AI barely …

    It doesn't help shareholders or customers in any way however so we should not celebrate it or even simply accept that this is "the way things are". It is an error to be corrected.
