Right now we're going through multiple concurrent but slightly non-overlapping transitions where AI is almost good enough for something, and seeing a predictable surge of spam/bad …

People are still figuring out the social norms surrounding "deepfakes" and I'm convinced there are some versions of the future where it becomes normalized for content under essenti…

I've been dabbling in this space on the application layer and have spent a few hundred myself experimenting with video models. It can be really entertaining/addicting to build with…

If you understand finance and aren’t specifically attempting to arb on that timescale, you actually want to participate in markets with those participants, because their presence g…

This already happened 10-20 years ago when personal finance got big on the Internet, it’s just taking a long time to play out. It was never about ROI anyway, just preservation of c…

Are you sure this is Google's doing? Sites can tell Google what they want indexed and want not to show, and Google's crawler also is supposed to not hammer sites with unwanted inde…

It's true, but part of the problem is that there is an oversupply of people seeking high-skill jobs before they have had the time to actually build those skills. Whereas if you nee…

There are two that I know of, and neither seem to do a better job at solving my problem of providing a place to host and distribute open source software. I hosted my own forgejo se…

99.9% of clients are behind NAT or working on code owned by someone other than just themselves. Unless your "decentralized" repos are on two devices you control on the same private…

It's usually not 24/7, it's that when I use just 1 agentic coding tool there's too much variance/hand-holding to go do something else, and also often a lot of downtime in between t…

I'm not going to pretend I know how to do Github better than Github, but I almost can't believe how poor their support is for fine grained access tokens, org/individual credentials…

My experience with Codex is that it goes off to do its thing for 10-60 minutes and either nails it and comes back with everything done, or comes back with something that I almost c…

It’s interesting how deep-fried LLMs are getting the more post-training they receive. They’re undoubtedly getting much smarter overall, but also much weirder. Before they were just…

I open source as much software as I can because I want the models to train on it and get better at it!

“He’s only being good because he likes how it feels, or values goodness, or exists in a social context where doing the right thing is socially rewarded! That has no bearing on whet…

I think it’s one thing to give you something free forever, and another to deliberately foster dependency / suck all the oxygen out of the room just to abuse it. It’s also not a bin…

Free + Open is simply how you earn credibility and user trust when you don’t already have it. That doesn’t mean the trust is unearned once gained, or a bait and switch, or purely M…

Because model providers are not optimizing for being indistinguishable from human text, and in fact, there is more value/demand in modeling a different distribution (ie an “agent” …

I think configurability depends on how important your tool is to the core job function or role being performed, where it becomes very valuable for helping them directly perform the…

It means the same thing to you, but not to the whole spectrum of people using AI. You literally see it on Reddit all the time where people are complaining about the same model eith…

You see this a lot with beginners, because until you’ve done the work long enough to truly know what works, you only really know what you have seen through other people’s performan…

Just got it working with codex in a container! FYI I think there is a bug most others will run into at the Codex:Muse interface. It's some kind of parsing or integration error due …
