Do you not think a change in knowledge work similar in scale to the industrialization of agriculture would be significant?

Same!

I think linking to the source material is great. But providing a little synthesis is a real value add!

This is kind of dumb because with agentic tooling, the input to the model is whatever it looks at. Sure, I'll send you the prompt along with a design document and the entire transcript of a meeting. That'll be useful.

This is just not thinking clearly. There are bad things that are asymmetric in character, dramatically easier to do than to mitigate. There’s no antidote or vaccine to nuclear weapons.

Not exactly a surprise Claude did this out of the box with minimal prompting considering they’ve presumably been RLing the hell out of it for agent teams: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams

There is obviously a lot of space between the two extremes "every opinion is the author's" and "we shouldn't take seriously anything authors write".

If two characters express contradictory ideas, which side is Plato's? And even when there is not a clear contradiction it is not at all straightforward to decide what is being claimed. It's not an encyclopedia. It is written to be

Comment approved by my wife, who is a Plato scholar. Your point that whether True Philosophers even exist is left open is the kind of problem she points out all the time in dogmatic interpretations. It sounds basic, but it's so importa

It's the latter. It's the average use that matters. Though I suspect API margins are also probably higher than people think.

Tokens per second are similar across Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5, and Opus 4.6. More importantly, normalizing for speed isn't enough anyway because smarter models can compensate for being slower by having to output fewer tokens to get the sam

Why do you think they're losing money on subscriptions?

Vite+ is not “this dude’s project”, it’s made by the team that makes all the tools discussed in this article.

I only use it for typechecking locally and in CI. I don’t have it generating code. Of course, what is generating my code is esbuild and soon Rolldown, so same issue maybe. If CVEs in tsgo’s deps are a big risk to run locally, I would say I

I look at it and don't really have an issue with it. I have been using tsc, vite, eslint, and prettier for years. I am in the process of switching my projects to tsgo (which will soon be tsc anyway), oxlint, and oxfmt. It's not a

Bun and Vite are not really analogous. Bun includes features that overlap with Vite but Vite does a lot more. (It goes without saying that Bun also does things Vite doesn't do because Bun is a whole JS runtime.)

I like tsx for this, and it's actively maintained. The author may not know about it. https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx

"Self-Generated Skills: No Skills provided, but the agent is prompted to generate relevant procedural knowledge before solving the task. This isolates the impact of LLMs’ latent domain knowledge" This is a useful result, but it is

How are we still citing the (excellent) METR study in support of conclusions about productivity that its authors rightly insist[0] it does not support? My paraphrase of their caveats: - experts on their own open source proj are not represen

Yeah, I see this in dark mode but not in light mode.

I think those are all reasonable worries, and many critics do a better job than Zitron of articulating them.

Do you think can they work for 5 minutes without guidance? Because that's something Ed said would not and could never happen, and the people who said it would were dupes and idiots.

I'm going with the pathologically incurious guy who is wrong in essentially every detail.

Everyone is free to make their own judgment about who is offering a genuine analysis that clarifies reality rather than obscuring it.

See edit. Tens of thousands of lines of borderline gibberish for the gullible.

It's a response to this: https://shumer.dev/something-big-is-happening The post is silly, but I do not expect Zitron's commentary to be particularly illuminating as he is a charlatan himself. I could point to many

I can’t find any news stories mentioning a $500B target for Anthropic. You might be thinking of OpenAI’s October raise. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/02/openai-share-sale-500-billio...

Not a serious test, but I tried M2.5 briefly in OpenCode on a very simple task equivalent to the last commit or two here[0] and it was really, really bad. This is a 250 line self-contained standalone script and what it does is very simple

More likely 99.9% of users never press ctrl+o to see the thinking, so they don't consider it important enough to make a setting out of.
