Yeah, punk was a bit of a rejection of the polish of the big bands of the time. In a sense, the "horrible" was sort of the point. And for the shock value. But did that really mean they were horrible? Probably everyone kind of suc

And you could say similar for the transition between painting and photography. ETA: It's interesting how the bottleneck may reveal the real skill in the thing. Architecting the code. Having a eye for interestingness in creating an imag

One of my favorite movies as a kid was Explorers (1985) where kids built a spaceship from a Tilt-A-Whirl and other parts. It was an inspiration. Like you, I enjoy programming, but I haven't built a spaceship yet. Hehe https:/&#x2

Didn't read the articles, but at least the planners know and understand a map. SO... a map is static reference. A calculator is deterministic computation. An LLM is probabilistic generation In high-stakes environments like military pla

Okay, I was mistaken. The tooling I was speaking of uses Claude Code rather than the SDK. One uses the Zed ACP protocol. I'm not sure about the other. I should have said Claude Code rather than the SDK. For example, I can run a session

That should be fine, because it's still using their tooling. And this seems like the better way to go. I have a couple of tools that work like this. I think the issue is mostly 3rd party harnesses that seek to do the same as Claude Cod

I would argue the chips don't even matter (important, but not as a reason for defending Taiwan.) It's a strategically important location that is a stone's throw from Japanese islands. If Japan feels the need, then nukes may b

I believe this is also what Claude Code uses for the sandbox option.

Do you though? I guess it depends on how you define family. There's family that you rarely see and you call them family because of the social (even if weak) ties. And then there's family you grew up knowing. The impact of family e

Right, that seemed like a minor issue. There was also the minor issue of the increase of AI code PRs. Seems like the greater issue was a perception of deterioration of the platform (in their sites for years) and a reasonable path towards mi

Their issue seemed to be the process. They're setup for a certain flow. Jamming that flow breaks it. Wouldn't matter if it were AI or a sudden surge of interested developers. So, it's not a question of accepting or not accept

Right, it's an issue that requires intensive care to address mental health issues. The human resources required for this is always going to be a bottleneck. Much more so than housing shortages or funding for programs that are largely s

Spitballing here. I always understood stuff like this as "the system doesn't care about you, it cares about the masses." If the result is overwhelmingly looking no better than a placebo, then the small number of people it act

It will be interesting to see how this plays out though. People follow the money. Investors wouldn't be interested if they didn't see the value. If the new app can snag the network effects, then it will win. What is TikTok worth w

He does sort of mention "story" several times. The story is the meaningful part. It's just that he says meaning follows tension. Maybe you don't agree with that either (not sure I do) but he does mention this.

It's a bit tricky to work through all the jargon, but it's my understanding that they are simply pulling the mass of things that they provide for free. You can still get the Docker files for their offerings (not sure they offer al

Depending on your needs, this could be a bargain as advertised. It's only expensive relative to what you can build on your own, or what competitors offer.

Not sure about the MCP, but I find that using something (RAG or otherwise provide docs) to point the LLM specifically to what you're trying to use works better than just relying on its training data or browsing the internet. An issue I

Wait a minute, you didn't just claim that we have reached AGI, right? I mean, that's what it would mean to delegate work to junior engineers, right? You're delegating work to human level intelligence. That's not what we

Love this, and it's so true. A lot of people don't get this, because it's so nuanced. It's not something that's slowing you down. It's not learning a technical skill. Rather, it's building an intuition. I

No, it's a practice. You're not necessarily building technical knowledge, rather you're building up an intuition. It's for sure not like learning a programming language. It's more like feeling your way along and fig

My take on this is that Google has a bunch of "incubating" spaces where they have teams of people building things that may or may not take off. So, when something does take off, it sort of becomes a victim of its own success. It c
