> but maybe it's 2 lines of code with 6 lines of comments (looking at you Claude), maybe it defines three helper functions it doesn't really need, maybe it does something "here" wh…

SWE was a sub degree within the school of CS where I went to school. You could do CS with a minor in SWE and get the best of both. I suppose if you're just doing a straight ticket …

> I’m sorry to say but colleges don’t teach the kinda stuff you’re gonna use day-to-day. This was not my experience in college. A lot of it was VERY applied. Granted, that was 13 y…

So the moral of the story is, don't build a frontier model in the US. Got it.

Question: for a smaller SaaS tool, or even internal product. If a team doesn't want to manage AWS or another IaaS provider, what are the best alternatives for the following 1.) Ver…

Generally agree. I use AI very heavily, but rarely am I letting it actually think for me. It's a tool that reduces the time it takes for ideas in my head to manifest into reality. …

Having tried most (all?) of the commercially available + open source options, and even tangential competitors like CC, Conductor, Antimetal, etc. I haven't found anything that's cl…

Not quite first party, but composer 2 is far superior to grok for coding. Unless you're eluding to them using SpaceX infra to train their own model vs. using grok

For programming, the way I would build a curriculum is to force students to actually learn how to program and code first. This is simple by requiring them to write code inside the …

The cynicism or even lack of interest is because it's extremely underwhelming. If you ask 100 people in 1969 what humans would be doing in space in 57 years I can guarantee not a s…

MacOS is a bug filled nightmare, and it's still light years better than Windows. I haven't used Ubuntu extensively since early 2019, but it still wasn't comparable to OSX at the ti…

The equivalent of about $20/hr today for those wondering

Yes. https://x.com/claudeai/status/2014834616889475508?s=46

This has always been my personal definition of AGI. But the market and industry doesn't agree. So I've backed off on that and have more or less settled on "can do most of the knowl…

So it's even more human than we thought

This is entirely solvable with skills, memory, context, and further prompting. All of which can be done in a way that's reliable and repeatable. You wouldn't expect a Jr. dev to be…

I would and have done the same with Jr. devs. It's not an argument against it being AGI.

Giving opus a memory or real-time access to the current year is trivial. I don't see how that's an argument against it being AGI.

I think "tested" is the hard part. The simple part seems to be there already, loops, crons, and computer use is getting pretty close.

AGI is here. 90%+ of white collar work _can_ be done by an LLM. We are simply missing a tested orchestration layer. Speaking broadly about knowledge work here, there is almost noth…

The market has clearly passed it by. I was a huge Heroku fan. It even inspired my first startup in 2014 (basically a healthcare tech version of Heroku). At the time, I thought it w…

That's the idea yeah. There are other people actively working on this. You can follow vx-underground on twitter. They're tracking it.

Seems like a job for an LLM
