Thanks for building it! Looking forward to seeing how it - and people's setups - evolve.

Thanks! No repo yet, it's very specific to my use case. I'll update here if I ever publish something, but here's a summary that should be enough to vibe-code something similar. The audio UI (AUI) is a small client that consum

Nice idea. https://mysetup.ai/u/gareth - tried to include useful hints for others (screenshots, token/sec results, monthly costs, etc). Interesting to see how many people are spinning up custom workflows and facto

The added speed of AI tools means they're now able to predict 18 of the next 10 recessions.

The higher up you go in the corporate pyramid, the more your ability to navigate politically becomes a distinct and valuable skillset beyond talent or hard work - or, more dangerously, competence. "Power: Why Some People Have It — and

Zack London's recent cyberpunk short "The Patchwright" (21 minutes)[1] feels like a glimpse into the AI feature film future. I like that rather than trying to replicate a traditional film it leans into the maximalist AI aesth

I disagree that ordinary people marveled at electric motors and saw their potential. Electric motors were seen as a toy for decades following their invention in 1834, and required industry to completely re-design its approach before they we

There were cryptic billboards in the last 2 tech booms too (dotcom, web 2.0) - the one that comes to mind is the Google ones that were a puzzle that led to a recruiting funnel (2004: https://www.npr.org/2004/09/14&

Trash AI article with a useless map. It looks to be a screenshot from an interactive version in the linked Newsweek article[^1] that was mangled by the slop grinder. The source map shows current electricity costs rather than projected ones.

2014-15 was when the news feed switched from static, human-written code to machine learning models optimized to maximize ad revenue[1], the models discovering "user attention time" was a far better metric to optimize for than clic

Same - at the end of the day I'd leave my last turn running with something like "I am going to bed so keep going until you are done" and be surprised that in the morning it'd kept going.

This latest crop of frontier models (Fable, Sol) are very good at broad exploratory directions like "audit for bugs" or "find places in this codebase that I custom-implemented functionality that has since become available in

Many harnesses include a current date and time in their system prompt, and if there is a way for the model to call for an updated time (either a dedicated time tool or calling the OS' `date` tool) they can track time they spent doing s

Good essay. In my own readings on art and artists, one overlap with substance abuse is that artists tend to be highly sensitive people - the type of people who are drawn to both creative pursuits and also to coping mechanisms like drinking

One part of ADHD is hyperfocus. ADHD is a dopamine deficiency issue, so when something highly stimulating (like a good book, or writing code) causes a release of dopamine the brain locks onto it and won't let go.

You are, I see, a member of the "reality-based community" as Karl Rove presciently put it back in 2004. You live in a mental space where you critically evaluate facts and make decisions aimed at maximizing your outcome in life. Yo

Watch the ageism there, older devs can be lazy and ignorant of security too! (And are responsible for building a dev process that catches such things in review - which points to larger systemic issues over there) I will agree that anyone th

You're absolutely right to call this out — and honestly? I want to sit with that for a moment. Here's the thing: this isn't really about AI writing. It's not even about coding agents. It's about something much deepe
