As someone who’s written huge amounts of Typescript, and no Go… the JS/TS ecosystem is absolutely atrocious. I’ve worked on developer productivity teams for almost a decade and JS tooling issues are a never ending battle. Every upgrade

Funny enough, the Typescript 7 compiler is no longer single threaded because it’s (ironically) now written in Go, not Typescript.

The fact that Bluesky has first class support for me to choose my own feed algorithm is proof it’s NOTHING like truth social.

I think what you're missing is that there are new open source projects being created at a very fast rate. But that doesn’t mean they stick. And the core issue isn’t AI, it’s that… a successful, highly adopted project requires time for

I don’t really know how these training runs operate in reality. But I assume it’s using a lot of raw GPU power directly. It’s hard for me to visualize how exactly you’d go about completely cutting off these datacenter and cloud resources fr

I mean the agents we get to use in Claude code or cursor or whatever have 1. a lot of safeguards at the harness level, 2. a big system prompt to help it stay aligned, 3. resource limits in terms of context and tokens, and 4. are publicly re

Not saying you’re wrong, but I think the bigger issue is how easy it seems to be for models to hack companies, even ones with generally ok security. Most tech companies are not doing continuous, deep security audits of their code and infras

It’s interesting. Growing up, my small town of ~4000 had a local newspaper. It doesn’t exist anymore, as of 5-10 years ago. I think many less populated areas did have some independent journalism until very recently. But at the same time the

macOS is quirky and sometimes limited, but to be honest gets out of your way for the most part. Windows is actively hostile to me in numerous ways. Linux is incredible in its depth of customization, but still to this day needs extra tinkeri

Why the fuck would I spend thousands of dollars on cable or satellite or streaming when I can buy a $20 antenna once, plug it into the back of any modern TV, and get free channels (including major sporting events) forever? People don’t use

1. There is not much money in making a good editor. 2. There is money in AI products, and a huge demand for solid AI workflows from many developers. Lack of AI tooling is absolutely a dealbreaker for many developers, whether you like it or

I think that: 1. Commits are really just manual checkpoints while you’re working. Why not automatically checkpoint everything so you can actually go back to an older implementation without needing to remember to commit it? 2. Agentic workfl

I agree on Opus. I’ve had more luck with other models. In particular, Opus’s writing style makes one want to… blow their brains out. While it’s not hallucinating too much, and can troubleshoot certain issues extremely well, the comments it

No turn on red is a pedestrian safety issue. Many intersections don’t have adequate visibility, and right on red is very frequently dicey. So I’m glad that my city (Seattle) is banning it. That’s different for small-town low-traffic areas.

Yeah this smells like the type of comment an LLM leaves when it gets a really specific instruction. “use one consistent color for the data timeline. Right now we’re using multiple which is confusing.” Then the LLM writes some comment that’s

Look, you’re absolutely technically right, but SpaceX is one of capitalism’s best examples. Because… is the Falcon launch business profitable? SpaceX has spent massive amounts of money to launch their rockets hundreds of times to bring th

It’s an abject market failure that no carrier out there has solved this problem. I have whatever Verizon provides, and it’s basically useless. I would switch to a provider that solved this solution, but none do. Clearly they’re making more

This is why we have to invest so much more into solar. Any kind of fossil fuel or even nuclear energy is constrained by scarcity. You put in a natural gas power plant, now you are reliant on someone going out and digging for oil, shipping i

You’re right but they do at least say this: > by our estimate the amount spent will be smaller still at $8 trillion,* because most households receiving an inheritance are already affluent and likely to save or invest much of what they re

I don’t think you covered the difference between 70mm and IMAX 70mm. One frame of IMAX is basically 3 frames of normal 70mm. So it is physically 3 times bigger I’d say that yes it’s a marketing technique, but for these releases it’s not a g

I think the part you’re missing is the screen size in theatres. I saw The Odyssey in two formats (70mm normal film, and Dolby Cinema). In both theatres, the screen and image took up the nearly entire height and width of the theatre. The ima

As long as companies will pay for AI and providers can offer better models cheaper than others… there will always be a strong incentive to optimize to make the best value model. Companies can use harnesses that can swap models on a whim, an

Frankly, it does not matter how we want to define intelligence. If someone wants to pay a couple bucks on tokens and get an ok solution to a problem faster than they can hire someone, they are paying for some kind of intelligence. And for m

I don’t know a single person in my life who thinks exercise isn’t worth it. I think it’s widely known that exercising is one of the best things you can do for your health, but actually making it a habit is extremely hard.
