I use AI to write documentation frequently. An AI agent, 600k tokens into a feature that it just authored, understands the feature as well or better than I do. It can document, com…

From your experience, is it comparable to Claude Code with Opus 4.8? How does it feel? How do the two differ?

This is what AI consolidation really looks like. It's not an AI hacking into another AI's datacenter and shutting off the training. It's a slow concentration and slow alignment of …

Nice! The world can always use a better data format. I think you might get some traction if you post the advantages over parquet and other files directly on the readme, so that if …

When did white flour bread become a whole grain? There's a picture of a loaf of bread next to the word "whole grains".

I'm excited to see these improvements but, none of them are enough to make up for inconvenience of having to start a new conversation (/clear) after every task. I've been using Gem…

AlphaEvolve is confirming evidence of an intelligence explosion. The key ingredient for an intelligence explosion is AI accelerating development of AI. This is it. It’s happening.

I'm an engineering manager at a mature YC company. I work with an extremely talented and hard working machine learning engineer in Armenia. He received a Special Talents permit to …
