What is a coder? Someone who is handed the full specs and sits down and just types code? I have never met such a person. The most annoying part of SWE is everyone who isn't an SWE has inane ideas about what we do.

This is true. But there's also an overwhelming instinct for people to think the problems they face today are completely new and have no historical precedents

Fascinating. I don't understand the technical terms, but running a big coding agent locally is a dream of mine, so I thank you for your efforts!

Yes, trust the CIA, Iranians. They've never led you wrong before.

Articles like this seem to be just a way to have something to write about that mentions LLMs. You could just as well say "Hacker used internet to attack government agencies in Mexico" and make the article about how their use of th

Does this really work? Seems likely to be more hype. Codex makes all kind of terrible blunders that it presents as "correct". What's to stop it from just doing that in the loop? The LLM is still driving, same as when a human

I've been having success using Doppler for secret storage. Takes it off the filesystem.

Yeah. They're real geniuses there at Sequoia. IIRC, Valeant was little more than a confidence scheme at its heart.

I think that a lot of us on here can give credit to Scott Adams for helping develop their cynicism, for better or worse. He was a role model to me for helping me to make sense of the corporate world and its denizens. This might not sound li

I agree. It can demonstrate the knee-jerk affect in real time for the reader. Someone who reacts strongly to the title of this thread would have experienced a similar reaction if they had received the SendGrid phish email. Never seen clickb

I think it says that industries have a lot of power over governments in the US, especially when they are critical to people's survival. The food industry has enormous power, maybe more than any other industry in the US. Few other indus

People in the game industry must be passionate about what they do. When I was in school 20 years ago, I remember being discouraged from the game industry by advice that you'll be flogged your entire career. I loved games and had a lot

Very cool even if its 25% sizzle on top of the true numbers This is why I lease EVs, not buy. My 2024 Mustang Mach E's pack is less than half that in density.

Once they can reset their range quickly like an ICE vehicle can then this becomes a non-issue. EV torque would be great for towing. But it's not quite there yet, outside of some BYD fast-chargers AFAIK. But losing (even theoretical) to

Interesting. I did not know France had so many laws limiting freedom of speech in regard to defamation. I am not a lawyer, but I think that in the US this would be allowable if you actually believed what you were posting about Mrs. Macron w

It's the towing issue that compromised the Lightning too. Attach something to an EV to tow and you kill the range. A lot of people in this country buy a pickup to tow something with it occasionally.

Cool article. It's pretty weird that the writer seems to attribute all decisions by xAI to Mr. Musk personally. I doubt he is closely involved in such technical projects.

A politician that says he wants to restore the country's economic power but has only harmed it further with his actions is worse than one who isn't even pretending to be on the side of the non-rich. President Trump is the product

When I was about 3 years old, a man in a car tried to abduct me right in my front yard by offering me candy to lure me closer. An old woman we did not know witnessed this from down the street, recognized what was off about the situation, an
