Good for you guys. I'm happy for you.

We joke, but I bet this will help to drastically reduce ScamInc's revenue.

Everyone that is upset about this should take note: you are not a (coding) customer at $20/mo. Their coding customers spend thousands per month (week!) on claude and it's growing f…

It's not the dictating, it's the clicking and the finding and addressing and the formalities. For a transactional email it's a lot, especially if there's substance to it like needi…

This is doing a bigger number on me than it has any right to. ...why are they all skewed, save for the buns that are already lopsided? Those I'll note are perfectly seated. Some ar…

Yes. I had a spare M1 Mini so I decided to set it up. YOLOed the entire thing and connected all the integrations, though I only ever use Opus/Sonnet. I have a dedicated Discord ser…

AI didn't do the work, I did. Building up context is the part we actually have to put work into. I'm not saying it would be impossible, but boy would it be annoying to have to cons…

Memory. I have built up so many scripts and crons and integrated little programs and memories with open claw it would be difficult to migrate to some other system. System of record…

The full on dystopian take would be to require anyone receiving welfare or other public funds to fully disclose all of their private details. You want Medicaid? Tell everyone about…

The conversation around GPU lifecycles seems to be conflating the various shear rates within the data center. My layman understanding is that the old 3 year replacement cycle had m…

To be clear, that is the advertised effects, not the side effects. The idea is that if you over eat you feel terrible, but also you won't want to overeat since you'll be full.

The only reason I want these things to be any smarter is because I need them to do more work over longer periods screwing up. The only reason I need them to do more work over long …

Your description of "little toys" and "immense power of AI" seem to be at odds in your argument. Which is it?

I don't think it will come all at once. By far the part no one wants to do and is also easiest for AI to tackle is long hauling. Humans will still be required for the last mile and…

I presume they mean that distribution is king and they make all the devices.

Still can't show me a clock that isn't 10:10. Otherwise impressive.

Is it a political statement if it's also a statement of fact? Sure, the comment has some color to it, I'll concede that, but one can no longer post these kinds of things on Twitter…

In America you're free to sign or not sign terrible contracts in exchange for life altering amounts of money.

Maybe it's worth reevaluating our definition of quality? In a world where AI can read our codebase, ingest a prompt, and quickly output "correct" if not clean and concise code, and…

Isn't this (part of) the point? We have an abundance of parking required by law and not enough housing units - removing the requirement should encourage more money to be invested i…

In my experience, working from home is similar to many of the other skills we hone in our careers. Yes, the tools you use will impact performance and quality of life. Invest in the…

That's the problem with software - it's decisions all the way down. Outside of prototyping, there's very little "work" to be done that doesn't contain some kind of systems decision…

In my experience so far it is much more along the lines of the horse and rider than it is a useful decision maker. I'm still in charge of telling it where it go, but it takes me th…

I think the AI driven development story is more about leverage than it is about wisdom. Leverage from AI is derived from being able to do more with fewer people. In my experience t…

Forgive me, I may not have worded that correctly. By empty, I simply meant that the game stopped being interesting after a while. The single player game was only so replay-able, an…
