> Has Codex started overusing “seam” too? I thought that was a Claude-ism Honestly, it's pretty good about this. Its terms are pretty fitting. Load-bearing, seam, etc. I'd actually…

Astrology. I think there is something to it (and I perfectly well understand if others don't). I've been attempting some "cold" natal readings by having an LLM giving me a person w…

This is very important question that demands answer

I can't be the only one to think it is silly to interact with tools in this way. Honestly, I see skills, "hooks", and other monkey-patch efforts as things that will be short-lived …

Terrible, honestly. Betrayed, gaslit. Don't tell me it's just a tool and it's my problem...hell no, fix your stupid tool. The whole point is to immerse yourself so you don't feel a…

Delightfulness? I'm seeing some indication "delightness" may be a word (can't say 100%)...but it seems a poor substitution for IMO the natural version of it

They are utterly cooked. The only ones I've ever seen on the "it's not so bad" side of this argument are aloof boomers and anyone young enough to never have experienced at least a …

Is there no pipeline--or a job fair? A way to get a moment with prospective employers? It seems tragically stupid if MIT offers no such thing. Applying into the void seems like a f…

I think as-applied now, the author's take strikes a chord with me. LLMs are a technical marvel, but their results feel very cheap and tacky...it doesn't take much to catch at glimp…

"I think the problem is you haven’t shifted your mindset to using AI correctly yet" There is an indictment of AI "products" if I ever heard one

That sounds terrible! Some people just take these things in stride I guess, but I have no interest in going through these kind of hurdles for something like this...

I wish this was a joke...

"pay-to-win" Yah, good luck with that. Anyone who has played competitively knows you will absolutely get stomped by a higher skill opponent even if your deck is more powerful on pa…

This is real thing I'm glad you've acknowledged as more than just a figment of my imagination. There are things I want to do outside of work programming that are there own level of…

Weird troll, or sociopath?

Well, I guess we're just naturally evolving and adapting into enslaving ourselves, just following nature's course... There doesn't need to be a "master plan", but clearly there are…

That's cool...but won't lie, I get the "Microservices" vibe reading this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=y8OnoxKotPQ

I don't think there is any way to avoid this coming off as a humble brag so I'll just shoot. My son is really clever, always has been. It really shines in an interesting way in gam…

Datalog! I especially like that in the smorgasbord of features. I'm still not convinced having a sentient AI encoded in the type system is what the doctor ordered for industry at l…

I'd argue that better relative ergonomics had diddly squat effect on Python's current position. It's first mover advantage, plain and simple. It got its hooks in data science like …

It can be. Anything can be. It is far more treacherous, though.

By this logic, the Imperial System is the best measurement system for the US (pick whatever entrenched system you want). Whether you agree or disagree with it, it's the most widely…

That's really not fair here. These would be trains you could bolt onto highways, and "transform" them back into cars as needed.

The media hates him, and I can understand how that can be hard to separate out from one's view of reality; but, I think whether Elon has success despite actually being terrible as …

I've found playing Magic the Gathering improves my ability on this. There is chess, too...but IMO you encounter more novel situations more often in MTG where things will cost you. …
