I said that too at the start of the year, but that's a looong time in "AI years". I feel like by now they should have announced a Fable-killer model. They may still do it but looki…

I read this in the preliminary report https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/G... > The flight crew again reported they “[have] a visual on Ruidoso” at 0008:30 …

I never flew a plane just know enough that a visual approach means “visual” rules. Hitting a mountain at that point is hard to argue for blaming anyone else but the pilot error? Di…

> Wait for the NTSB report before replying, essentially "get gud" The preliminary NTSB report points toward “get gud”. If you request a visual approach and then fly into a mountain…

What did that even do. Generate imaginary buildings and structures? I am almost sure this was something for a performance or promotion: “Used AI effectively to…”

Does one have to exclude the other?

No op but my interactions with look like: Me: "I got this crash in production, looks like a segfault, let's try to fix it. Here are some functions that might be responsible." Fable…

Yeah that was kind of surprising. EVs were supposed to a no-brainer cheaper and more reliable car. I was expecting it to cost no more than half of a ICE car, but they are just as e…

Well that and also benchmaxxing.

Lisp/scheme is probably a rare case where it sort of works either way and easy to switch without any extra work, since data and settings already look like code. At some point I had…

That's a neat pattern. It's interesting to think how many times users can auto-generate the DSL and how many times they end up having to write the DSL directly.

Yeah I like that too. You can have both of course.

Python setup.py -> pyproject.toml? Make -> ninja. eBPF kernel modules from C to a custom language. Helm Go templates -> Kustomize. I am sure there are other projects picking up jso…

It's just part of what I call the config pendulum. Simple config -> (Need to do more complicated things) -> Add override levels -> (Need even more flexibility) -> Add a Turing comp…

They are using both likely

Did they use Claude to generate the idea? Sounds like an AI hallucination spiral. “Yes, we’ll show a few hundred gravestones at Arlington cemetery and talk about hard questions”. I…

The idea is not to use pelicans on bikes but a similarly random non-sensical prompts: crows on scooters, squirrels in a moon rover etc. Then pick another one for another for next c…
