I have some wind turbines near my town. I can walk right up to the pole, and I can't hear any noise from the turbine. Light car traffic is ~50dB.

They're silent. I don't know where Trump got the idea from. Perhaps he thinks they work like fans?

I'm not happy about the drop in quality either, and I'm not advocating for just making software shittier. However, look at history of DSLR cameras vs mobile phone cameras. Mobile p…

They're here, because even "bad" code has uses. We can have quantity over quality. We can generate throw-away programs (where the lack of maintainability doesn't matter). We can so…

This is the hard-won load-bearing quote.

I'm enjoying the maximal version: https://omp.sh

I don't think so. A basic consumer-oriented harness is a commodity (zero moat: you can ask one harness to write you another). State-of-the-art models have more of the workflow sens…

Before LLMs the barrier to modifying software was much higher - in skill and time investment required. Now we're getting to the point where any user can say "Claude, I don't like t…

CVEs sucked even before LLMs. CVSS is an ass-covering exercise, not an importance signal. Everything is "critical" all the time.

Things you'd expect to work already. It doesn't really add anything new and flashy, but removes some annoying warts. Sync code has scoped threads that enable multi-threaded executi…

omp.sh lets you enable "advisor" model that watches the session. Works very well for keeping DS on track.

yes

This mitigates problems with LLMs' low quality code. For a single user, the bar is much lower. The app doesn't have to have all the features that work for everyone's edge cases, im…

App Store will be the place to download apps you can't avoid, like your bank's client. For personal apps, the locked down stores are making themselves irrelevant. When you have sof…

"we"? Looking at electricitymaps, everyone except maybe Nebraska and Mongolia is making progress. The supply chain already exists, available worldwide as long as you don't bomb you…

I agree that removing human from the loop is the next stage, but we're not there yet beyond small programs. Agents left alone tend to create so much tech debt, that once the progra…

The intelligence scores are absolute, not per $. DeepSeek Pro is more capable than Luna regardless of the cost.

We've ran out of time. Even if political will shifted immediately, getting new nuclear plants on the grid is going to take a decade or more. In the meantime batteries + solar or wi…

which is why they charge extra for an option to hold >256K tokens. The cost may be smoothly variable, but likely there's a bimodal distribution of users who barely use any context …

I've successfully emulated remotes with ESPHome + xiao seeed + basic IR diode. Dozen lines of YAML can turn it into a thermostat in Home Assistant. Flipper Zero can record IR remot…

RAM needed for keeping KV cache around may be the more expensive factor.

IANAMLE, but there is "grokking" that makes models learn to actually generalize, even after you give them enough parameters that would let them memorize the dataset: https://en.wik…

And it's not even a matter of supporting a build system. Each build script for each build system is its own snowflake with its own custom method of finding or building its dependen…

It's just a marketing stunt. They've got the ad for Claude-powered code rewrites, and that worked beautifully. Everyone got the message: spend big bucks with Anthropic to get rid o…

Chromium is 17-20 (excluding some features they think are footguns) and even has its own MiraclePtr. There's no True Scotsman C++. All C++ codebases would be perfectly safe, except…
