Any easy resolution to the math is that 1 will be false and Trump will be more than capable of throwing those workers under a bus.

Yeah all of these along with raw token usage are metrics that were being used around December to February by people who just didn't have anything to go off yet. Skill/Hook usage rates, budget spend, auto-approval rate, focus area

I'm honestly at the stage where I'm finding the same product but cheaper in the local retailer. I don't mean a dollar here or there, I mean a full 30% cheaper. Particularly most things food related. I used to be putting in an

Table of words LLM generated, Binary Searched on the output going forward and local skill/CLAUDE.md line with instruction to conform. The comparison then is pretty fast due to the word limitation rules. Also standardized PR format so a

Binary Searched against a table of words. It's rough at first, but once you add contextual exceptions the false positives calm down. Also the CLAUDE.md file has an instruction to conform before even submitting the PR and there's a

I have five enforcement mechanisms: 1000 line max edit, PR comment character limits (get to the point of your description), ISO 24495 conformance check, and enforced code line citation that must exist, be a function declaration for the star

And our in house "Agile Practitioners" (their job title) pushed this to a state where the next four tickets in a task get broken down to four hour long pieces of work go to four different people, regardless of their context or ski

Out of curiosity, what was the path that the engineers have been taking? The limiting communication between agents to my mind is obvious to anyone who hasn't swallowed orthodoxy Agile development completely whole. And in my experience

The primary path to speed ups appear to be in custom ASICs by startups like Niobium. Combined with the recent Taalas acquisition by AMD, I think I see where this is going. But yeah, for hot path traffic it's probably going to be swampe

Sounds like a great way to have larger competitors with more capital bid for your site to take down your domain that your users were using. Rather than Land Value Tax a better analogy might be a Vacant Property Tax which only targets squatt

Yeah, I've dropped back to 4.8 entirely for the remainder of this billing cycle. I'm going to be seriously looking into Qwen adoption and harness migration options over the course of August.

Anthropic have a real fight on their hands now. The competition is no longer 6 months behind, it's 6 days. If this had come out two or three weeks earlier this would be an absolute market leader on both quality and timeline.

If it was 2021, probably. But Trump has soured relations in the last 18 months enough that the soft power about technology isn't there like it once was assumed to be. What's he going to do if Europe doesn't step in? Jack up t

France might do something mad and take that route, but EU wide ain't happening for Mistrals sake.

Even if the US does ban it, Europe due to its lack of European competitors, has no current similar protectionist incentives. Even if there is regulatory capture in the US, the rest of the world isn't going to follow suit until the curr

Money. Whether it's material cost, technological complexity or lower efficiency reasons, regardless, the reason is money.

That's the current culture, but culture changes. Gauss, Onsager and Grothendieck hid their work. "Pauca sed matura". Your best interest only means your current best interest. What makes for the best form of personal interest

It does feel a bit smarter, but it seems to be also "too clever by half" and its not ignoring the rules, it's rejecting them and finding work arounds. It sticks to the word of the law, while rebelling against the spirit of th

This all strikes me as an effort to move tailoring the harness out of the easily transferable .md file into specific Anthropic tooling to increase lock in. I've been running Opus 5 today and it's already done accidental deletions,

I have a hunch it comes down to the training data. We have spent decades as an industry talking up the new shiny thing, deliverables, frameworks, features, performance improvements, the one thing you don't read copious amounts of prose

And the RF is a pre-certified module. Of course hardware is easy when you've offloaded the hard part to the supplier. Not to mention, a three year turn around? For this? Three months, six max with mistakes and reworks would be industry

Managers, good technical ones anyway, also dive deeper into technical understanding. They don't do it to write more code, they do it to figure out what the developer is saying to ensure the developers aren't blowing smoke.

And I am gradually coming to the conclusion that "needle" isn't even features. In a world where everyone has AI access, moving the needle in an existing product space can readily be done by whoever. The real game changers wil

A rewrite is like moving house. In the new house, it doesn't have things the way you had everything set up "just right" is the old house. But you now have an extra bedroom and bathroom and no longer have a black mold problem,

Fine for my closed source stuff, but my open source work is specifically meant to be viewable, even by non-technical people doing recruitment or looking over my portfolio. I've put up with a lot of stuff, but this would be my personal
