I feel like I’m out of the loop, or maybe I’m just not a super GitHub power user, but GitHub does pretty much what I expect and I haven’t had issues with it. All my git commands for GitHub just work and PRs and code reviews are the same as

No, we can literally buy our own hardware for what we spend in a month and host our own local LLMs for company usage.

Tbh, even if your code skills don’t atrophy, you can still use outage events like this or AWS being down etc to just make up an excuse to go for a walk.

We are spending the equivalent of 32 monthly software engineer salaries on Claude per month.

Faster faster faster, everything faster except for fixing the climate, sheltering the poor, healing the sick, reducing inequality. Until we are planning to do these things with the same speed and enthusiasm as pushing out more crap for peop

AI doesn’t do anything, the people who enabled that AI are the ones responsible. YOU deleted your production database.

Could you make it so you can have group chats but you can invite anyone you’ve tapped before and they can all talk together (but still not be able to talk outside the group chat)

Is there a way to jump into cold water but also ensure you don’t stop your heart?

Do you own stock in Affirm?

Knowing how kids are, they will just snicker and skirt their way around these bans anyway thinking they are some super bad ass. This is mostly symbolic.

Affirm is on its way out anyway, so really this is one last Hail Mary to try to prop up the company, they don’t have much left to lose.

I think it’s time to give up on the old web. What made the old web cool, is that it was the first time we can communicate with so many random people in far away places digitally and share information through cool web pages. That novelty has

Companies could fire expensive engineers then just hire cheaper ones boosted with AI agents.

Given that it’s so easy, would you still do this same job if paid half as much?

America’s goal is to rule the world through a hegemony built on fear and violence. With the current administration, it’s just that the mask has slipped. Americans are all the same really, it doesn’t matter who voted for who: FIX your shit,

I don’t want the US to win anything ever again. They are a net negative in this world, obsessed with short term profits. Countries like China with long term objectives are better.

Nothing digital could ever truly have soul. We must embrace physical reality if we want to find true connection, to something real.

From company metrics I have found that developers who make a lot of mouse movements correlate with weaker performance reviews. Something to think about.

Does a human only have value then once they have learned to do those things?
502.
by deadbabe 6mo ago
Learning to read, learning to write, learning to think, only have value because of the outcomes they produce. If the outcomes can be reached with just AI, then AI has all the value.

I think at best we will find very distant evidence of advanced alien life: Inspiring, but so far away and unreachable that we’ll never meet or communicate with them in any way. Don’t know what’s worse: wondering if there is alien life or

If you are using LLMs for tool use locally, then in a decade it will not make sense anymore to pay for hosted solutions. Your device will have compute power to run powerful LLMs trivially. If you need LLMs at scale to serve many customers,

If those cost of compute is going down, then eventually it will go down enough that we will run on our LLMs locally and Anthropic will go out of business.

I kind of feel like in the old days, people weren’t really afraid of heights. Heights were fairly new, and exciting, and the consequences of falling were not well understood yet. It’s why you would see skyscraper construction workers jumpin

If I was a professor, I would make a very clear policy they AI is not to be used on assignments, and would repeat it throughout the semester, but make no effort to actually enforce this and even make it easy to abuse. Then, for the final ex

It will never be cheaper than what it is today. Anthropic is heavily subsidizing.

Using LLMs as a learning tool isn’t what causes skill atrophy. It’s using them to solve entire problems without understanding what they’ve done. And not even just understanding, but verifying that they’ve implemented the optimal solution.
