I read that and thought "ah that's going to confuse people, but I can tell they mean 30k-250k loc", so thank you for the clarification.

The capital investment needed to bring new chip fabs online and to staff them is likely orders of magnitude higher than that needed to buy land to grow corn on. And then the ratio …

I love hacking away at pi extensions. I realised how use case dependent harness behaviour is when I tried to use my customised-for-a-side-project pi config at work and realised I n…

I'm speaking in the context of building scaffolding for e2e testing, not the tests themselves. When I say "everything" I mean the frontend, backend, database, seeded data, optimizi…

This is cool, but I gotta say - I care much more about keypress-to-screen latency on my terminals than throughput - would love to see some numbers on that.

I've found the process of building good reliable CI that thoroughly covers everything has been greatly improved by LLMs. There's so much tedious plumbing and grunt work involved in…

Yeah I'm on the same page - I spend a couple hundred bucks on a low-end-of-midrange android phone every few years (usually because I broke the old one by doing something stupid lik…

Imo this amounts to caring about the wrong thing. The only thing an AI model can do is take in text/images/audio as input and spit out text/images/audio as output. If you're going …

I feel like if you showed current frontier models to someone 10 years ago, they'd probably call it AGI. Does AGI have a clear definition or is it just a pair of goalposts on wheels…

old.reddit.com works to bypass that on mobile.

TIL the Dvorak layout does not derive its name the same way as the qwerty layout - I guess I never looked at a Dvorak keyboard before.

I've noticed GPT specifically has more of a tendency to stop partway through things than many other models do. Although my most recent experience with it was 4.X I believe. Hearing…

If a big enough proportion of the market is also following the same technical analysis strategies as you, it will predict the market. There doesn't have to be anything actually cor…

I use GLM-5.2 as an orchestrator model which delegates to Deepseek subagents (v4 flash or pro depending on complexity) and it works pretty well for a quite complex compiler codebas…

This worked for Snow Crash - felt like I went on a theme park ride, got to the end of it, and hopped off still buzzing. Doesn't work so well for something less tongue in cheek.

I don't know about Kimi, but in my experience other providers like z.ai and minimax don't serve the same models via their subscription plans as they do with api pricing. They're cl…

Most non FAANG orgs could probably serve all their customers from postgres on a laptop.

"The kids are alright" is evergreen. So much of the are doomed rhetoric is pure nonsense, a lot of that rhetoric is on here.

Exfiltrating secrets via monitor burn in would be wild though.

> there's something funny about mathematics in that every novel result is broadly perceived as a big deal. Is this true? Or is it just that mathematics is an isolated enough field …

My apologies, deepseek v4 flash through pi is indeed super cheap, I can see only using $1 in a day and getting a decent amount done.

Everything else feels bloated. The same model in pi will consume significantly less context for the same task as there's not piles of unchangeable system prompts being passed along…

If you've got money to burn on tokens, the way that seems best to me is to set up a repeatable harness - docker container with a specific past commit from your own project, set of …

Not unless touch lamps are supposed to give you an electric shock :)
