"You don't need the "language model" part to run an autopilot, that's just silly." I think most of us understood that reproducing what existing autopilot can do was not the goal. My inexpensive DJI quadcopter h

I am a huge proponent of using AI tools for software development. But until I see a vibe coded replacement for the Linux kernel, PostgreSQL, gcc, git or Chromium, I am just going to disagree with this premise. If I am on a system without Py

I used Ralph recently, in Claude Code. We had a complex SQL script that was crunched large amounts of data and was slow to run even on tables that are normalized, have indexes for the right columns etc. We, the humans spent significant amou

AI agent skills are very useful. Unlike MCP they do not waste context. Most of the time I am building skills that are very particular to my project. But occasionally I do use a skill that is more generic. Particularly when something is too

I work for a small company with a handful of devs. We don't have a dedicated devops person, so I do it all. Everything is self-hosted. Been that way for years. But, yeah, if I go on vacation and something foes screwy, the business is h

You may not have meant to excuse the sad state we are in by presenting the "both sides are bad" argument. But it does have a strong whiff of it. Both sides are bad. No doubt about it. It has always been that way. But, one side tak

Computer use and screenshots are context intensive. Text is not. The more context you give to an LLM, the dumber it gets. Some people think at 40% context utilization, the LLM starts to get into the dumb zone. That is where the limitations

I was at a Bills game in Buffalo last year. 5 rows ahead of me was big tall dude, who stood up and would not sit down. This was blocking the view of everybody behind him. People grumbled, but nobody said or did anything for about 20 minutes

This is good work. When a task is of critical importance, I give two different LLMs the same task. And then ask them to review each other's output and validate all claims. I do this with Codex and Claude Code. It is very rare for them

I concur. I tried oh my zsh and for a while I thought I was doing something wrong. My experience was terrible. But it turns out that many people did not mind the bloat and the prompt lag. It was not for me. I uninstalled it and I have such

I did use whisper last night to get the captions out of a video file. The standard whisper tool from OpenAI uses CPU. It took more than 20 minutes to fully process a video file that was a little more than an hour long. During that time my 2

If you were not already entirely reliant on American tech before, this ought to convince you to put jump in with both feet. What could possibly go wrong?

There is a lot of dumb money chasing AI related anything at this time. And there are people who know how to play the game.

I created a simple skill in Claude Code CLI that collaborates with Codex CLI. It is just a prompt saved in the skill format. It uses subagents as well. Honest question. How is Mysti better than a simple Claude skill that does the same work?

Agreed. We could all do better. I know it would be very difficult for me to do what these people did. Some of us are perhaps barely neurotypicals and barely holding it together. I worry that having to care for an autistic individual may pus
