Each edit, even with unrelated edits. I had a README referring to something as "the cathedral of s*t" (some HN commentators don't care for the swearing, which is systemically bad news but w/e) and the robot would lift th

Mario Andretti could never have won a motor race without a car, yet we say he won the Indy500.

LLMs will make mistakes on every turn. The mistakes will have little to no apparent connection to "difficulty" or what may or may not be prevalent in the training data. They will be mistakes at all levels of operation, from planni

Remarkably similar to dykstra on debugging.

You're asked if you trust the folder where claude is running. If that trust is misplaced, it's not Anthropic's fault.

If you’re a student or teacher: nearly everything that matters. Homework, materials, lectures, grades. It’s all on canvas.

Ok I read the paper and the answer is yes. Very cool.

This is exciting! Did you work with an agent to build out any of the math? I'm just curious. The insight that picking advantageous moments for sampling allows coarsening is one that seems easier to test out with an agent alongside.

The best part of computers is the convenience, I think.

Almost as though it's load and not code causing the issue.

I'm not even sure agents need logs, to be honest.

There are parts of this that I consider a reach but the whole thing—despite that—feels sensible and looks a useful way to hang some things together which are normally separated. These are well-expressed thoughts on a really hard subject.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing with. GOOGLE did not look like the rest of the search engine engines on purpose. We agree completely. It looked very different and it operated in a very different way. If instead, we designed GOOGLE like we

in america you need to pay a preparer for your taxes because we hate poor people. The user is saying they don't need to pay a preparer because they used Grok. I didn't do that this year but I'll probably do it next year with

How does this generalize to firms with more than one stakeholder/owner? I don't see how it does without some magic where we assume that all members of e.g. the C-suite have similar, model-able reasoning.

This is true but the common implication, "UX research knows your customer" is horseapples. I will point out we allow ourselves to believe that UX research knows the customer because we train like the above. We tell our engineers t

Yeah I think the whole "the website is to help the user do a job" mostly exists to give people who do UX a position of authority. The user needs to do a job; we can't pre-specify that job entirely; users who are frustrated in

Counterpoint: that's also wrong and those who give up the idea of their website being for "them" (a person or group) end up making websites that are bad. Jakob's law is often taken as support for the opposite position, b

I don't think "made to" but as someone who followed his blog for many years, there was a before he did a special episode of his podcast with an apple VP and after. And clearly after he had a different perspective. It's I

This is a lovely time capsule. Used to be the case that Gruber had the best sources in Apple. He went corporate and started doing managed PR for them and now would you believe he no longer has the inside scoop?! It’s hilarious. The reason h

You don’t know that to be true. It doesn’t sound believable to me. It sounds like someone saying they thought they studied because they brought the book home and it was heavy in their backpack. What I know is true is that neither of us has

I don’t think we’re in a world of meaningful markets anymore. The idea is to get passed around on sites like these and on LinkedIn and what not until you reach somebody who’s gonna pay you money to be a contractor. And you know because they

There is also a second order problem at work. It is clear that there is a market for these kinds of posts, even if they are written with LLMs. All they need to sell is affect. The robots can do affect pretty good.

What’s objectionable about that, assuming the tradeoff is real and actually hurts?
