Feel little like this is generated and not based on experience. Claude.md should be short. Typescript strict mode isnt a gotcha, itll figure that out on its own easily, imo omit things like that. People put far too much stuff in claude, jus

i also worry but am also shocked how far a single $20 sub gets me on side project. i pay for 3 (cc, codex, gemini) but am almost never going beyond cc, even when im merging several prs a day.

This is really interesting; ive done very high level code maps but the entire project seems wild, it works? So, small model figures out which files to use based on the code map, and then enriches with snippets, so big model ideally gets pre

This isnt unique to top AI researchers. Top talent has a long history of being averse to authoritarian/despotism at least in part because, by near definition, it must suppress truth. You cant build the future effectively with that appr

It does. But then, it's how i talk to myself. More generally, it's how i talk to people i trust the most. I swear curse and insult, it seems to shock people if they see me do it (to the llm). If i ask claude or chatgpt to summariz

1. Best part of this (satirical) post is, the service they offer isn't really needed. LLM's can do this already for small projects, and soon likely will for large ones too. You don't need a company to do this, we all have the

I believe the latter was key and democratization of the armed forced was at least one reason the dictators (Julius etc) were able to maintain loyalty of their troops as they eliminated the republic as such. Im not super well read here thoug

Right but LLM companies are building frontier models with frontier talent while trying to sock up demand with a loss leader strategy, on top of an historic infrastructure build out. Being able to coat efficiently run frontier models is i th

I agree with you on non judgement but would push back - if you'll violate your principles for a cush job, they aren't really principles you have.

Which policies specifically? Certainly not the income tax on million+ income, seems pretty modest. We moved from TX. Property tax rate is low, no income tax sub million in income, schools are great (and almost all new), roads are fine and t

It's easy to gloss over this assessment but ultimately this needs to be a key decision point for where you choose to work. No matter how well you manage complexity as an IC or a lower tier leader, if your upper tier of leaders don&#x27

> They want your real ID. They do not need it. I think that is exactly backwards. Many of the companies integrating with KYC/AML providers (such as my company) definitely don't want to be dealing in ids, just like most companie

I bought an LG Ultrafine 5k at the time and felt kind of stupid for being spending on it. But nearly 10 years later... its still my daily driver. Best ROI of any tech equipment I've bought. It changed my mind about how to think about i

Try building review skills based on how you review. I built one recently based on how I review some of the concurrent backend stuff one of our tools does. I have it auto-run on every PR. It's great, it catches tons of stuff, and ranks

Uncharitably, I think this is a strategy to gorge further especially if they select for higher quality open source. They are embracing the best to train off iteration patterns of the best, and have a semi self correcting slop mechanism. Cha

But if you live near Lamar its pretty great. I use to alternate bus and light rail despite owning a car because it was very convenient, despite always being the slower option. But that does also reinforce the point. Even at max convenience,

I'm sure you can't share details but would be cool to hear more about it generally speaking, what worked and not etc. Especially if it involved HN. Our company is being attacked rn in tech media and at least some of it, gut feelin

I moved from TX to west coast a few years back. Property taxes down, all other taxes and expenses up; total cost of living much higher now. It's also business friendly enough to make deals on taxes as needed, I can't imagine that

reddit lacks consistent moderation and the worst is location based subreddits, where all dissenting takes are effectively hidden. Yet one can imagine a limited set of filters that could in theory fix this: - eliminate obvious bots

If you're still dipping your toes into an LLM world, this is an excellent place to begin. I helped with a deploy at work the other day, we have some QA instructions (Notion). I pointed the LLM at one of the sections, asked it to genera

My Native macos app was using well over 1gb the other day, while my electron notes app was 1/5 of it. Theres an electron tax for sure but people are wildy mixing up application architecture issues and bugs with the framework tax.
