This is the kind of abuse that will cause them to just close GitHub issues. Or they'll have to put something in the system prompt to handle this special case where it first checks for existing bugs and just upvotes it, rather than crea

Sure you are. SpaceX did exactly this and went against the well-connected monopoly at the time (ULA, a consortium of defense contractors) and beat it. Nobody said it would be easy though.

Yeah I just watched my own video and was surprised to see exactly that. Because I remember reading somewhere else years ago that an ideal anti-satellite weapon would either de-orbit a satellite (like bumping it off orbit so it burns up) or

I believe the US and China (and Russia according to the Wendover video [1]) already have anti-satellite weapons to be used in a conflict, but they aren't like "blow this up" because of space debris. I'm not exactly sure

Funny you say that. Because I have never enjoyed management as much as being hands on and directly solving problems. So maybe our common ground is that we are direct problem solvers. :-)

You may be right in the general sentiment that not everyone with a PhD is a desirable candidate, but even if half of them were, that would be 5,000 fewer and that isn’t insignificant, especially in STEM fields.

About a year ago they sucked at writing elixir code. Now I use them to write nearly 100% of my elixir code. My point isn’t a static “you haven’t tried them”. My point is, “try them every 2-3 months and watch the improvements, otherwise your

Spending 4 years evaluating something that’s changing every month means almost nothing, sorry. Almost every post exalting these models’ capabilities talks about how good they’ve gotten since November 2025. That’s barely 90 days ago. So it’s

It sounds to me like you may not have used a lot of these tools yet, because your response sounds like pushback around theoreticals. Please try the tools (especially either Claude Code with Opus 4.5, or OpenAI Codex 5.2). Not at all saying

My answer to this is to often get the LLMs to do multiple rounds of code review (depending on the criticality of the code, doing reviews on every commit. but this was clearly a zero-impact hobby project). They are remarkably good at catchin

Maybe this is the issue I’m facing. I’m already using Claude, Claude projects, Claude cowork, and Claude code a lot. I used Claude projects for an entire proposal. That was one of the best proposals I think I’ve ever written. I’ve been usin

Clawdbot is interesting but I finally feel like those people who look at people like me raving about Claude code when it barely works for them. I have no doubt clawdBot, when it works, must feel great. But I’ve had the tough time setting it

I don’t know what your stack is, but at least with elixir and especially typescript/nextJS projects, and properly documenting all those pieces you mentioned, it goes a long way. You’d be amazed.

I disagree. As much as I hate speed cameras, the way they’ve been implemented (meaning, the fact that you get a letter with evidence and it’s clear you committed the offense, and usually no points, like you might get from a cop) seems to st
