Documentation driven development is your friend here. 75% of my workflow is generating documentation, at ever lower levels of abstraction, until it’s just code. The code usually comes out optimal, clean, and bug free (after passing tests)

This is exactly the idiotic use case of AI coming back to bite them. The short sighted gains (and I’ll assume that they are chasing quarterlies as usual) are to be had by firing most of the junior engineers, keeping the seniors because with

…and then when they break into your house because you were insufficiently enthusiastic about the latest embezzlement of public funds, the headline reads that they found an illegal weapons printer in the terrorism interdiction raid.

It’s amazing how even programmers can’t resist defecating on their own lawn.

This could be an LLM based e-reader feature, replace names with non-native intelligible translations.

Totally circumvented by everyone, basically. You can hook up an arduino to most consumer 3d printers and throw away the motherboard that comes with them. Aside from being stupid and dangerous, this is going to create some excellent makersca

On examination of the evidence, Hamas appears to be an organization dedicated to harming Israel, not helping the Palestinian people (or improving public opinion of Hamas). In this regard, I would say that Hamas has been very effective at pr

I guess if you are feigning interest it is manipulation, but the book speaks specifically against that. If you want to make friends, you have to be genuinely interested and invested. If you want to influence people, you have to be sincere a

If your were (never mind presented as) inauthentic after reading HTWFAIP your reading comprehension was lacking. HTWFAIP is about building authentic, mutually beneficial relationships with people, not shining them on. I’m totally with you a

LLMs are really good rubber ducks.

This has been my position from the beginning of when agentic coding harnesses became genuinely useful. I now do documentation driven development, and with very few exceptions I am committing code that is better written, better documented, e

Except that is not what the book teaches at all. Sometimes people can’t take the advice of “just be a better person and care about other people” unless it’s explained to them more specifically and anchored to their goals. It’s not because

I’d say when qwen works it works like sonnet, when it fails it fails like haiku. So it’s less consistent but works pretty well, I guess? It’s still overall pretty useful for a lot of stuff, and I can run it directly on my MacBook. Once you

Pretty good results with qwen 3.6 27b dense. I’d say it’s about equal to (Claude) haiku 4.5 maybe sonnet depending on the task.

Interesting idea! Wouldn’t have to be particularly high voltage either.

I still can get de minimus from China no problem, as long as it’s Ali express. I wonder why? When anthropic answers that question, we will have access to fable again.

It’s either heavily AI written or the authors style has been heavily influenced by LLM writing. That said, using LLMs when writing does not mean the article is not informative, thought provoking, or relevant. An idea fleshed out in prose

Ah horse “iron’man” race where the horse had to be swam (or sailed) sailed 25 km would indeed be epic and also great for the resurgence of sailng as practical transport. Probably cruel for the horses though.

Do you read the title? IMHO the article absolutely delivers, and when we are talking about fantasy writing, opinions are facts inside their context. An actual “well founded” opinion about fiction is next level pedantry at its finest.

That’s an interesting proposition, but it’s actually kinda probable that a biological intelligence would be very predictable if the inputs were so carefully controlled as an LLM. There is so much external context as well as internal chemica

In the end we’re just improvements on the worm/tube plan, and we run things based on chemical soup that is mostly inside our bodies these days, but whose composition has a significant influence on our behavior. Thats why it’s great to

It doesn’t matter. It will act as if it is. Embodied in a robot, that carries real consequences. Whether it’s “real” or not is almost without consequence.
