    It's not unfortunate. It's the whole point.

    I've been saving phones in my drawer for years, waiting to combine them to form a "supercomputer". Any day now!

    Also, you can probably think about it like this: "Will I benefit from this code being minimalist before [date]", where [date] is whenever you think the agent will be good enough to…

    I found this true with security camera & dvr systems. If you're shopping on amazon, you're mostly looking at the same devices and software, sometimes with slightly different stylin…

    Cheap electronics with terrible software? Maybe not unique, but they dominate the market. We could sure go a long way if China would start.

    It's evil to make something so powerful it meaningfully improves the GDP/wealth level of the entire planet? Or is it just evil that you aren't the one who gets to control it? Why s…

    You can't out-compete people who release things open-source. They're not in competition. So, while a company might crack it and become massive, the tech will make it to the rest of…

    Probably true, but the rubber-stamp process will be a race to the bottom.

    I hope the demand for average-skilled people goes down. Or that the floor is raised, at least, and AI empowers average scientists to do substantial work.

    Why shouldn't they? Also, wouldn't anyone with half a brain use the human-free system to produce another human-free system that was no longer controlled by the "small number of 'pe…

    My very first request, after reading this thread and deciding to try pi out--it went out of the app directory it started in, and made code edits to a sibling directory in a differe…

    I just use tmux (not warp), and the agent interacts with that pretty often. I'm not sure it's at the same level, but it's doing `tmux send-keys`

    It's not the app, it's the environment variables that have many ways to be configured.

    What are your go-to checks for quality terminals, when you are scoping out something new?

    It makes me feel fulfilled. It gives me things I want. Building is in my nature. The work I'm doing is for myself (I'm not GP). But work isn't just "my job for the man." You can bu…

    It's dropping off hard, though. I think web-search fixed a lot of it. It used to be terrible for car repair advice, now it's mostly right.

    Welcome to Earth. I see people parading as experts in all kinds of things all the time, without LLMs to back them up. Political opinions, economic theory, foreign policy, professio…

    One time before LLMs we outsourced this project. It was something to sign file headers, written in ruby by an overseas company. It was something like 4500 lines long, and I wound u…

    I agree. In my business, I haven't found much area to use code. It's a pub, and we've long been low-tech. Cash register, no POS. I have a little code surrounding my own processes, …
