Things are going to change once again. It's been a long time ago since things really changed. In the 70s, probably. And before that maybe in the 1920s. It will be a generational change. Life went from quaint 19th century stuff to airpl

I'd think there's a strong correlation. It's a kind of nerd stuff. Greek mythology, classics, train schedules and types, all the space probes and all the NASA stuff, Haskell etc etc. It's all very similar.

If you were gullible before, you will keep on being gullible. It's a moral panic. So what now? Karpathy, Carmack, Terence Tao shouldn't use AI? Or you want to require a license before you can use it? On bullshitting - yes, it was

I thought this would be about the actual reverse effect, namely that if something gets too cheap, people don't want it anymore. Which would have been also an interesting article, regarding status symbols and luxury items.

Jevons Paradox has become a meme lately because it can be used effectively in a particular type of online argument to sound smart and checkmate the other. But as you say, the popular use is nothing mysterious, just microeconomics. At a cert

Bad analogy. In GH you have to press the buttons at the exact time that is prescribed and you're scored on that. With AI there is no such prescribed goal. The world is your oyster. You can use it in boring ways, but you can use it in i

They extensively use Claude to develop Claude. It's absurd to suggest they don't use what they push on their users. It's one of the most common criticisms of Claude Code that it's too vibe coded and buggy due to that.

I doubt AI will ever generate straight up machine code directly as a best practice. Hierarchical, high-level abstractions help even AI reasoning. Re-reading some undifferentiated machine code make it harder to reason about even for the AI,

Yes, I don't know how a junior brain would read it. I already have a map of roughly what kinds of things exist out there, even if my picture is blurry, so when I read a suggestion from the AI, I have a rough ballpark of what it means,

Not so sure. AI can flag non-best-practices like this quite easily from generic prompts. You just have to remember to ask it. I mean general review / audit prompts, like "are there any correctness bugs, or things that don't m
