This sounds like it's practically unlimited and free? A bit like GMail. It is comes to close to Claude Code they may overtake them and dominate the market simply with their tried and true "give it away for free forever with practi

This really cracked me up, indeed mostly funny and maybe slightly scary or at least off-putting that it's so human-like.

It's a bit like going from assembly to C++, except we don't have good rigid rules for high-level program specification. If we had a rigid "high-level language" to express programs, orders or magnitude more high-level tha

A huge bottleneck seems the lack of memory between sessions, at least with Claude Code. Sure, I can write things into a text file, but it's not the same as having an AI actually remember the work done earlier. Is this possible in any w

Probably I'm being naive, but what do you mean? I'm saying one way or another, apartments need to get built, either by government or private. As long as at the end of the day, as many small studios as needed to house absolutely ev

Is this also the case for token-heavy uses such as Claude Code? Not sure if I will end up using CC for development in the future, but if I end up leaning on that, I wonder if there would be a desire to essentially have it run 24/7. Whe

Great writeup. I appreciate the bravery. To solve the housing issues, all we have to do is build basic soviet-era apartment buildings everywhere and all will be good. The fact that we don't do this in many countries with crippling real

Not an MS fan, but you guys rock for making VS Code, really changed software development for me. Especially combined with good language servers (Redhat for Java, intelliphense for PHP, Clangd for C/C++, and some python stuff). Yay! Sur

VS Code is a downgrade from open source to freeware. At least the C++ plugin is freeware. And they block access to the extension store from any fork (self-compiling VS code is also considered a fork). So if you are an OSS purist, VS is bad.

All the manufacturer has to do is publish an APK on their website. If all apps did this, Google would have no power. It's very easy for a volunteer to host the APK somewhere in an archiving effort. Much easier that it ever has been on

Keep that surplush cash in the business with a window of a few years to absorb any downturn, don't get a Bugatti :) Not that I am qualified to provide advice on this topic. Great success story.

Well said. If the company is built around a certain specialism, the specialist will want to spend most of your time there, because that is where most value is created per hour. But many of the other things are critical, but happen to be ver

It depends on how they respond and how it goes. If the attitude is great and the time together is great, all is well. There are two sides to the coin. Being the inviter means you get to choose who to invite. Of course you have to invite peo

For the first 22 years of my life I was spending my hours in crowded school buildings. It turns out that most of my productivity happens in solitude. Learning through doing and self study. But now that I finally don't have that terribl

It may be. Generally stimulants (legal, soft ones such as cafeiine and nicotine, as well as stronger ones) stimulate parts of the brain that facilitate productivity and focus, but at the cost of "warm" things such as empathy, roma

Quality is very important. For example, when people have serious issues such as drugs, it often turns out to be strongly related to the poeple they surround themselves with. So socializing purely for the sake of it, is not ideal. Some stand

Good point. To uncover new good things, you have to jump in blind without much preexisting knowledge, e.g. when meeting people. You have to enjoy that process itself as well as any connections that come out of it.

Indeed, that is why we may end up with some sort of standardized and structured way to write functional descriptions of software that we can train AIs on. How close to natural language it will be I'm not sure. Arguably, since the birth

There is Objective-C++ (.mm extension), which I used extensively, where you have what is essentially a C/C++ implementation file, but you can use types and syntax from Objective-C, e.g. allowing you to call iOS APIs (UI, bluetooth, etc

Interesting point. Probably there are many historical case studies of populations with unbalanced sex-ratios. There are many reasons for it to go out of balance. Recent/currently China and Russia are examples. According to wikipedia; t
