My change cuts across multiple systems with many tests/static analysis/AI code reviews happening in CI. The agent keeps pushing new versions and waits for results until all of them come up clean, taking several iterations.

I think for this plan to work you’d have to force the developers of Xcode to work on the 4 Gb machines first. If they could do that, the rest would follow naturally.

I always listened to the podcast and forget they even have videos. Have a hard time imagining myself sitting and watching a 2 hour interview when I could listen while exercising or doing chores. Am I missing anything?

I’ve been wondering if ChatGPT is actually coming up with the idea of posting to Reddit when the user is asking a question and ChatGPT can’t find a good source to answer it. ChatGPT has never suggested this to me, but it wouldn’t be a compl

I don’t respond to specific comments with accusations, because I can’t prove it and it would suck to be falsely accused. But I find it really depressing to watch deep comment threads with someone debating with an AI. The human is putting so

There are also tons of comments written by AI on hacker news. There are whole discussions between AI bots arguing over whether AI is a sham.

I imagine there would be value in not just throwing all of GitHub commits in as training data, but also rating the quality.

I think this is in the training data since they use commit data from repos, but I imagine code deletions are rarer than they should be in the real data as well.

It’s not that big of a coincidence that the countries that superpowers want to conquer, and need defending, are neighbors to the superpowers.

I wonder if this can develop iOS apps. For me an iPad with the Magic Keyboard case is already my personal laptop, and this device would be a downgrade in almost every way (ergonomics and specs). The one thing I can’t do with my iPad that in

Verbosity of the output seems orthogonal to the cli vs mcp distinction? When I made mcp tools and noticed a lot of tokens being used, I changed the default to output less and added options to expose different kinds of detailed info dependin

It already is in some threads. Sometimes you get the bots writing back and forth really long diatribes at inhuman frequency. Sometimes even anti-LLM content!

Ghengis Khan didn’t need your chest of gold, he owned many gold mines. Regardless, he was going to take it from you the easy way or the hard way.

I assume you use semiconductors yourself, since you are posting here. But you want their manufacture to be banned in your state. So the right thing is to outsource the dirty jobs to countries that can’t afford to be picky? Wouldn’t it be be

Netflix (even before they introduced ads) optimized for watch time. Higher watch time = higher retention for subscriptions (even when prices go up).

Is Google actually in front? I know Google keeps publishing impressive benchmarks but developers who are the most engaged and demanding users of LLMs keep choosing to use Claude instead. My uninformed take is Google is optimizing to the ben

I had a kind of visceral distaste for all of this rules, skills etc stuff when I first heard about it for similar reasons. This generalized text model can speak base64 encoded Klingon but a readme.md isn’t good enough? However given the rea

You think iPhones aren’t multi-user for technical reasons? You sure it’s not to sell more phones and iPads? Should we ask Tim “buy your mom an iPhone” Cook?

Is your view that this doesn’t work based on conjecture or direct experience? It’s my understanding Anthropic and OpenAI have optimized their products to use skills more efficiently and it seems obviously true when I add skills to my repo (

We’re working with the models that are available now, not theoretical future models with infinite context. Claude is programmed to stop reading after it gets through the skill’s description. That means we don’t consume more tokens in the

Are you buying apps in the App Store or paying for digital goods (eg. signing up for streaming services) through iOS apps? Apple charges a 15-30% rent on all of that. Apple also tracks and charges for conversions on ads for mobile games (eg

My feeling about Gwern is that I won the jackpot if he happens to have written on a subject I want to know more about. His writing is a wealth of information. It not always compelling if I’m not already interested.
