I hate to be that guy, but I'm not reading a readme written by AI, nor using their tool. You don't care to put in a few hours to describe your project, I'm not going to bother lear…

Read through it an I'm curious whether setting the date and cmd on every system prompt call will cause the cache to invalidate. I guess the cache would only be invalid if the day c…

Isn't Apple about to license some variation of this from google for on-device AI? Maybe it’s their sales pitch to Apple and then they will lock it down.

Maybe it's my experience, but TPMs were often responsible for coordinating large org-wide or cross-org initiatives. It's prohibitively expensive to have TPMs on anything smaller. S…

Engineers are not going anywhere, they are going to fill the spaces outside of coding that are still critical to shipping new product. Here is a post that summarizes what I mean: h…

Yes, size and performance are not only problems for local LLMs, they are problems for frontier LLM companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. The latter still lose a ton of money on infe…

They are addressed but the core of the thesis is still wrong: > This is the core problem: our entire evaluation infrastructure is structurally reactive. We measure the system after…

The argument in the article is backwards. Evals test the stability and boundaries of a concept. They are not created before the concept has been prototyped (which the author acknow…

How does this compare to using Claude Web with connectors to build the same feature? On a separate note, READMEs written by AI are unpleasant to read. It would be great if they wer…

I applaud the move. It's also a little disingenuous to talk about moral standings when the third opening sentence is "The math hasn’t worked out for a while now." If the numbers we…

Too much of code is data transformation. input -> sanitation -> db -> consumer -> api -> client. Business logic defines the shape of that data and some service-level rules but the …

Those are raw numbers. I would look instead at the job changes over total employment numbers. I don't have the numbers but I would wager we have many more people working in tech to…

Used, yeah

This laptop competes against M2/M3 MacBook Airs. Going to be hard to justify a Neo when the others are so much more powerful.

Wishing the best for all those affected and excited to see many of you start new companies and continue to innovate.

Why anyone is still using X after 2025 is a mystery (I know, it's where everyone is, but the moral implications are wild)

Publishing is more than just authoring. You have research, drafts, edits, source verification, voice, formatting, multiple edits for different platforms and mediums. Each one of th…

Don't let common sense stop you from a good time.

We’re about to see if LLM regress or evolve

That's right, I said TypeScript but yeah, it's v8 under the hood.

Not quite systems programming but this might give you some insight. Swift is memory efficient, and runs stable backend services. I've seen benchmarks showing that it's slightly mor…

Nothing particularly insightful other than avoiding messing with previous messages so as not to mess with the cache.

I asked Claude to summarize the article and it was blocked haha. Fortunately, I have the Claude plugin in chrome installed and it used the plugin to read the contents of the page.

Before people in this country can unionize, they have to see their peers and fellows, not as strangers. The structures in this country have put each person against the other in pur…

Engineers are happy to pay for tools (hello, Claude Code). Libraries are quite different and it's a little uncomfortable to build a business on a closed-source, proprietary library…
