That's interesting! How do you see "oversupply of hardware" playing out? Is it because we stop doing ~2024-style, large-scale training (marginal returns aren't worth it)? Or because supply way outpaces the training+infer

Yea I mean this is the first publishable draft of a startup cooking on this. I'm confident there are at least 1-2 OOMs of improvement to come here in terms of the (intelligence : wattage) ratio. I really thought we were going to need t

This is genuinely an incredible proof-of-concept; the business implications of this demo to the AI labs and all the companies that derive a ton of profit from inference is difficult to understate, really. I think this is how I'm going

I totally agree! Interacting with LLMs at work for the past 8 months has really shaped how I communicate with them (and people! in a weird way). The solution I've found for "un-loading" questions is similar to the one that wo

I opened up a claude code session using opus-4.6 medium thinking. I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive? Drive — you need the car at the car wash. but it's so close It is close, but you still nee

Oaxaca and its surroundings are still identifiably Zapotec! The idea of an urban landscape that’s still culturally and aesthetically indigenous to such an extent is super mindbending to this gringo. Mexico’s historical relationship to indig

In my (admittedly conflict-of-interest, I work for graphite/cursor) opinion, asking CC to stack changes, and then having an automated reviewer agent help a lot with digesting and building conviction in otherwise-large changesets. My

If you wanted a better version of GitHub Actions/CI (the orchestrator, the job definition interface, or the programming of scripts to execute inside those jobs), it would presumably need to be more opinionated and have more constra

This is a core part of systemantics [0]! People are going to do what they’re going to do, as a manager the most you can do to help is to put people in the right teams and to get distractions out of their way. It’s a difficult idea to accept

Churchill was right! We’ll try everything except for a land value tax, so that we can eventually prove once and for all that LVT is the right thing to do! :) But actually, it’s good to see movement on the underlying problem (affordability o

Situations like this work as a filter of sorts (If you’re so obsessed with measuring relative status/prestige that you want to reduce me to a job title, we’re probably not going to be friends?). The fact that you’re neighbors with thes

I mean the problem will solve itself eventually. As wealth continues to centralize and urbanization continues unchecked, the “renter” voting block will eventually be state-level majorities in places like New York and California. There are p

Supply and demand doesn’t just work in terms of raw housing supply, but in terms of housing that is “on the market”, which is a critical distinction that economists’ arguments deliberately ignore. In my parents’ generation, it used to be th

Sometimes I wonder if our system evolved the discipline of economics as an incredibly expensive intellectual distraction to pacify the petit bourgeois. We can read Dan Wang and Tyler Cowen and whoever else to educate ourselves on the idea t

This was an excellent listen, thank you for linking this directly! Kurt Vonnegut was such a clear thinker and communicator, we were fortunate to have him for so long.

As a caveat, I’ll say that evaluating a person by resume alone is fundamentally not possible. I’m not trying to evaluate a person, I’m trying to evaluate “should I spend 90 minutes of eng resources giving a first interview to this person”.

by gen220 10mo ago
FWIW, I agree that less ink on a resume is usually a higher signal, and I also find that indicators for “ownership”, social trust, autonomy, and proxies thereof are more valuable than number go up narratives. But sometimes people feel like

I think trivial GH integrations are easy. If you've used Graphite as a customer for any reasonable period of time or as part of a bigger enterprise/org and still think our app's particular integration with GH is easy... I thi

I work at Graphite, our reviewer is embedded into a bigger-scope code review workflow that substitutes for the GH PR Page. You might want to look at existing products in this space (Cursor's Bugbot, Graphite's Reviewer FKA Diamond

Heyo, disclosure that I work for graphite, and opinions expressed are my own, etc. Graphite is a really complicated suite of software with many moving pieces and a couple more levels of abstraction than your typical B2B SaaS. It would be

Yeah, I'm no GitHub apologist, but I'll be one in this context. This is actually a not-unreasonable thing to charge for. And a price point that's not-unreasonable. It makes sense to do usage-based pricing with a generously-si

It's disingenuous to lump AAPL in with the tech stocks that compose the top part of the S&P 500 right now. Much of their valuations are highly-leveraged bets on a massive and nearish-term realization of a dream AI business scenario

I don't think we're at odds here! One possible solution to my framework is (1) to only buy things for which you have a coherent theory (2) that coherent theory holds water over the duration of your investing life. It's possib

Recognize that holding is an action and a choice, too. If you don’t have a coherent theory to {act}ively hold an asset, you probably shouldn’t be acting to hold it, and be acting to sell it. This is equally true for TSLA and NVDA as it is f

As someone who is intimately familiar with GitHub’s data models, I wouldn’t say that replacing it is so technically trivial. But even then, you are right that that the moat of social cachet and implicit trust is still more valuable than the

IME, "Why systems fail" almost always boils down to a principal-agent problem. This is another way of expressing the Mungerism "show me the incentive, I'll show you the outcome". Systems that "work" tend t

FWIW, GitHub is also unreliable with webhooks. Many recent GH outages have affected webhooks. They are pretty good, in my experience, at *eventually* delivering all updates. The outages take the form of a "pause" in delivery, ever
