"Texas isn't a red state; it's a gerrymandered one." - a pre-LLM aphorism

Okay, that's an interesting complaint and I can understand it. For me, the title is QUITE clear. There's a very strong narrative in the zeitgeist that "no one" is hiring entry leve…

I agree with the sibling comment and also don't understand how the title is "offensive". I literally can't think of anything that could be offensive about any term in the title or …

Grand Theft Auto VI looks complex, but underneath it's all just ones and zeros and NAND

May stick to certain types of skin

It could! An MCP would actually be great but Slack would prefer to sell us their own AI integration product so (1) they make it difficult and more importantly (2) it's against thei…

Slack's approach is NOT good enough, because the version of the Agent that lives in Slack cannot see the context of the Agent that lives inside Cursor on my developer laptop. They …

Just my two-cents as a very much boots-on-the-ground infrastructure engineer. We use LLMs heavily on my team -- to write code and review PRs. Our harnesses and guardrails are very …

This is a good clarification but I think the core issue is that Spotify (and Apple Music and Amazon Music and probably others) have chosen a business model in which consumers can l…

I think this is a false dichotomy. There's no reason "all music is paid only" is the only option besides the all-you-can-stream for one monthly fee popularized by Spotify. For exam…

This article is from 2011. Noisetrade was a very cool site for several years, but I don't think it's still operational.

I'm quite certain I formally verified that two processes were both able to get into the critical section WITH THE ALGORITHM I WAS VERIFYING, but this was 35 years ago, so details a…

I've been following Bob Cringely for nearly 30 years and he's always written like this. This is almost certainly not AI-generated text, and he's not saying Claude is wrong. He's sa…

So much this. I actually did take a formal verification course in college. Our final project was to use the techniques we'd been learning to verify some classic critical-section lo…

It's interesting that your experience/workflow is so much different than mine. This (claims to) solve a real problem that I deal with every day. My company is remote-only, and my c…

For what it's worth, I really enjoyed this read and almost came here to comment "this is the most enjoyable llm-assisted article I've read in a while" The tells were unmistakable b…
