Let's be very, very generous and say that an LLM is intelligent. Does intelligence eliminated the need for tools? If you have an executive assistant and your executive assistant has ten executive assistants, does that mean that Microso

No, but there's a WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD of tech that isn't LLMs. LLMs aren't the future or anything. Sure they'll keep existing. Right now though all the opportunities exist for people looking literally anywhere else

Are you surprised that when you look into the mirror and you see your own face not someone else's? Remember, models have no identity. They just try to say what they think you want them to say.

I'd be fine with it if they were alive. If not, no.

Yeah the single thing it makes easiest is to think "i neither need nor want to do this because it is hard" Evidently the AI users think hard things are beneath them. They want to win without doing any work. Sympathy, I have not.

If you centralize all monetary costs, you require the central authority to become extractive. If you you distribute costs, you can create true sustainability.

Seriously why use privacy as a form of anticonsumer leverage? This was supposed to be a form of consumer empowerment, not a literal extortion mechanism. How am I supposed to take their stance seriously? They rag on people who do shit like t

Side note: what the everliving fuxxorz is up with their cookie banner. It seems wildly illegal. Enough that I'm not gonna read their shit ever again if they stick with THAT. The only two options are "accept all" and "rej

I've been working for a long time to be ready for this need! Blab is an (un-announced) version control system designed to support "everything". It's built on top of a content-hashable XML-ish data modeling language calle

Looks like a React component tree binding to SVG nodes. Right click and inspect element. Right click on the svg element in the (chrome) inspector. Choose `break on` > `subtree modifications`. That led me to look through the network tab f

The system as it works is made to cause partisan balance to stay close to the competitive 50/50 That may make it seem like nothing every changes, and much wind is spent on it. Real change is often so deep and slow that it just isn&#x27

I think the rewrite will end up being more expensive (for the same quality) because AI was used. At the same time this specific rewrite is being used to drive the narrative that reading the code is counterproductive. If they had delivered t

Yeah I've read that article many times. I don't have such a mechanism at the moment. I'm not sure if I will until I run some of my own experiments. I also have much smaller nodes than Dolt generally, and where they only hash

The challenge now is that we have to have a vision for what we want to build.

May I just leave this for you here? https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporize... A technical foundation is not infinitely strong. Put a big enough castle on a swamp, and it will sink into the swamp.

Yeah I think that's really important. The average value of each commit, action, or hook has become significantly lower, and that necessarily means that they can't spend on quality. If you set the quality bar to cater to the top 10

Actually the insertion and deletion quirk may just be my trees because I do the probabilistic splitting between values rather than on them as usual

I'm working on a similar prolly implementation, but for Javascript. I just used the JS splice() contract for the main API abstraction. It maps perfectly onto prolly trees since it already allows bulk insertion and deletion: https:&#x2
