The thing about inalienable rights is that they are not rhetoric, they are an intrinsic recognition of rights that do not require the recognition of authority: Governments which do…

I evicted someone from my home just a couple months ago and the process took one month. I'm not sure what "Do you mean in absolute terms?" is asking, but I think it's generally wis…

Right now, many people do not own property and are one missed paycheck away from homelessness.

It's difficult to tell if you are for or against access to open weight models as a general rule, so I am curious to hear your opinion on this. Personally, I think we will one day c…

No, the pret decompilations it's based on do include assets.

Since this is clearly coded with an LLM and the README has not been written by a human, I'm curious if it actually does play end-to-end. I have personally recently ported all of th…

> If we're pushed to delegate most work to them, how do you build that expertise? Have you ever pair programmed with someone? It's the same idea. You can be an active enough partic…

I used to be a heavy shell and IDE user and now I ask my local AI to do the majority of computing tasks I used to do by hand. Codex/similar harnesses allow me a digital workspace w…

I also cancelled Cursor this month after a few months of not using it at all other than to read code and make a few surgical edits. I can do that in any IDE, hell I can do that in …

What are the economics of connecting flights? I'd imagine that max flight time isn't the only factor; hubs allow people to move around via connecting flights in a way that might no…

900 years ago, Christians were crusading across Europe and slaughtering tens of thousands in religiously motivated militant action. Furthermore, Christian European colonization of …

I don't think we can use the climate of today as indication of what comes tomorrow. Too much is in flux, we are experiencing growing pains. Few predicted what would happen to the w…

It's probably true that many programmers in the future will get away with a similar lack of fundamental knowledge that today's programmers get away with. To some degree, we all hav…

I welcome you to explain this position instead of relying on vague attacks on character/authority. Do you want to actually critically and healthily engage with my response instead …

So much of this discussion is moot because the point is there is a slippery slope. It doesn't matter if there's an unconstitutional war on drugs which creates distrust and massivel…

What is the purpose of this comment?

They will if they seek to master their tools, both to help them identify subtext in agent responses, and to help them modulate their own responses to achieve the desired outcome. A…

The problem is that when you need these powers most as a citizen is when your government is least likely to allow it.

I feel like new graduates will need to start taking linguistics, psychology and public speaking classes in order to understand why and how subtext matters, and how to control it. T…

Google wins on infrastructure and creativity (NotebookLM, etc) but entirely lacks product coherence. The ecosystem is a mess, just like Microsoft's offering, and I don't think this…

This isn't aimed at you specifically, but I think many technologists seem to innately misunderstand the slippery slope hypothesis which helps form the bedrock of American politics.…

You're claiming that one cannot understand the details of well-documented and well-written code which they did not write themselves, and I'm pushing back asking for proof. We can m…

I welcome you to prove this conjecture, otherwise it's just vibes. > A lot of the time, I'm writing code that no LLM has seen before I hear this tired point over and over from peop…

You haven't considered that I probably already discussed 10 different approaches with my agent before authorizing a particular implementation. Or that I didn't ask about alternativ…
