I stand corrected, but the LOC being advertised still make me doubt the efficacy of their process.

1 million lines of code aside, I feel like anyone who seriously thought about this would eventually run their own harness. Just like .vimrc and .zshrc, the harness "code" itself can be easy and personal. Provided that it's bu

Well, there's the other problem, windows sucks. I prefer Windows XP, or even Windows Vista, to Windows 11 with its copilot. And it's been a downhill race, even macs are more of your own personal machine than Windows today, which i

Why is it only for Windows PC, can we not run Linux or at minimum SteamOS?

> ended up being a million lines of code This almost reeks of "I've never cleaned up our code base because there is too much code, and didn't even bother having agents/LLM cleaning them up". You almost never need

See this is the kind of things I hope I'd be doing when I'm retired, but not when I'm shopping.

It's product bloat. It's not recognizing that they are just one building block that should do one thing well, like tmux. You don't need a computer display on your fridge for the same reason, but Anthropic think you do. You sh

Because code used to be correlated with progress, it became almost a measurement in lieu. But realistically, the code is meaningless if it doesn't accomplish something, and that should remain the true bar of progress. For instance, if

Consciousness is substrate independent, but that's not the differentiator here: My toddler son is conscious, he feels happiness and sadness and have urges and impulses without needing to know the entire history worth of writing from hu

Anthropic is the most self hyped company I've seen, to the point that I'm wondering what would happen to its employees if they held a different opinion. Do they just.. keep it to themselves? For instance, if some Anthropic employe

Hell, I have a personal macbook m4 pro and I still wanted one. I got the m4 pro when it first got out, but on restrospect I really should have gotten either: 1. A max spec max + 128GB ram for local models. 2. an air with 15 inch for max com

If you use claude-code Haiku is used under the hood for certain task. I'm not sure what it is, but there's some kind of routing that goes to Haiku automatically.

Meanwhile I've been happily using ls, find, grep like it is 1980s. They still work exactly the same, and now even my agents can do it. Imagine if agents attempted to use explorer, even powershell seems like it is confusing enough.

Even Mars becoming a state would not support that kind of valuation.

Author never told us what happens when one lies to those who seek the truth... is that on a different plane of reference?

If you know how to trade stock algorithmically, then this "letting" part don't really apply. This is only about removing friction for the non-professionals to rapidly burn their money...

On factual things, potentially. But if I want to read your writing, wouldn't I be trying to pick your brain? Otherwise why don't I read wikipedia or usage documentation?

In my documents I usually preface with "This document is 100% typed by Aperocky". And then where ever part of it is generated by LLM, it is clearly marked (e.g. SVGs). It is necessary these days.

I'd be much more happy to use "Assisted-by: vim & in memory of Bram Moolenaar" to every commit then attaching Claude anywhere.

Wow, so they looked at the copilot+Windows11 and thought that would be something they want to emulate... As much as we want to point fingers at MBAs, but isn't this the exact kind of things they teach as cases to not do?

> I thought about it but decided it looks pretty tacky. It looks like what kids would think of as a gaming PC and what boomers would think of as a seizure. Missed chance to be a school legend and initiation of a career launching arc.

I think this is contrarian, I found author's point clear in context. Obviously sometimes actions are warranted, but the balance today is skewed in making everything more complex than they needed. This do not mean we don't develop
