> There's many great candidates Perhaps for top-paying companies, but that's never been my experience when I was involved in interviewing and hiring.

Of course life isn't fair. But here the result is that companies will ignore potentially great candidates which dedicate all their programming time to their job and instead consider candidates which may be not just worse programmers, b

What will happen is that the EU will start treating the US as a hostile nation, develop its own computer tech to replace American tech (probably together with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, Canada, Australia) and THEN they will start denyi

We'll see. Helping Trump in destroying USA's traditional alliances is probably worth more to China than keeping a Mythos for themselves.

According to this logic, Taiwan should keep the most advanced chips to itself, the EU should keep the most advanced chip lithography machines to itself, etc etc.

It will almost for sure surpass the models which Trump will allow US "allies" (which he just considers client states) to use. This, together with China's growing dominance in PV, rechargeable batteries, EV, could really be th

Typically, what can they pull out? don't they only have equity?

I think that waiting or not is mostly up to the harness, not the model itself.

Even when the UK was in the EU, you could create a limited liability company (LTD) for something like 200 pounds or less, no capital needed. So it's not true at all that setting up a business at a low cost is somehow against EU legisla

So I guess that a lot of those 80 hours were spent running the test suite between changes?

Creating wealth doesn't hurt others. Removing wealth from most people to put it all in a few people's hands DOES hurt most people though.

The main thing about feature flags is discipline: create them purposefully, remove them as soon as they don't add value any more. KISS applies.

Correct, and specifically, it was the total focus on "shareholder value" which caused this, as most often splitting the company and selling its parts brought more immediate value to shareholders. If that also brings more long-term

Funnily (or tragically?) enough, lots of environmentalists here in Italy are opposing solar and wind projects too. I find that crazy.

Human societies aren't governed by simple, divine Laws. "Free market economy", based on rational actors, is an abstraction, an idealized model which is useful to understand some mechanisms, but it's far - VERY far - from

Sure, productivity increase is hugely important, but if you only pursue profit maximization, then all the productivity increase goes into profits, which means that the general population doesn't increase their well being much if at all

"The world and business environment are changing too rapidly to make longtermist thinking practical." Tell that to the Chinese...

"Profit maximization" on its own would have left most people working 12+ hours a day 6 days a week, like it was very common in the 19th century. Luckily, it's never been the only force shaping our societies.

As the father of a girl, having struggled a lot to stop her from TikTok and similar when she was just 9, it would have been so much easier to enforce that if it had been forbidden by law. It's too late for us, but I'm happy that t

> This is the most frustrating thing because Anthropic forced the 1M model on everyone. This is spot on. It would be great (and very easy for them) to have a setting where you can force compaction at a much lower value, eg 300k tokens.

Could we get an option to use Opus with a smaller context window? I noticed that results get much worse way earlier than when you reach 1M tokens, and I would love to have a setting so that I could force a compaction at eg 300k tokens.

The chances of a ballistic missile hitting a ship - a small, moving target in the middle of the sea - are negligible. And a 4kg bomblet wouldn't do much damage anyway.

I guess that the most important potential "secret sauce" for a coding agent would be its prompts, but that's also one of the easiest things to find out by simply intercepting its messages.

More than the electronics, I would be curious about the performance of 3d-printed plastic parts on a rocket. Are they strong enough?
