Why does it beggar belief? If a loudly woke person started a computer club, would you want to join? Why is it hard to believe that someone loudly anti-woke starting a club cannot make people stay away?

You can say politics don't matter, but if elsewhere you lay out your controversial opinions, people will self-select whether you like it or not. And since this is such a predictable thing, it's very likely done intentionally.

My 8yo wanted to listen to news, so I made an experiment: have AI generate a news podcast episode every day where stories of any seriousness are unpacked and explained to kids. Includes topics like wars and politics, but avoids local crime.

What do you mean by "Pi has a web search function"? Pretty sure Pi doesn't have one, except if you install some extension, but then Pi has every function.

If you’re gonna make a blanket statement that misleads most people, but when challenged, defend it on narrow technicalities, then you just want to mislead people.

Yep. My 2010 server does everything I need incredibly well, and I see no point in retiring it anytime soon. ASRock H67M-ITX, i3 2.5GHz, 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz, 2TB+4TB SSDs, DVD-RW, in this Mini-ITX Antec case[1]. [1]: https://www.ant

I get what you're trying to say, but coding is hard. A significant percentage of children struggle with it from the very beginning, unable to reason in a very specific way, read and understand errors, trace incredibly detailed logic, g

The comment I responded to suggested that we don't really have to be "insulted" because code is actually not hard, good code is hard. But the statement "code was never the hard part" doesn't make that distinc

That's why I said "that you can use AND meets regulation". All software on average.

Why does it have to be Shakespeare? There are millions of good writers that got there by working hard. Seems pointless to go into either extreme, when just being good at anything is generally hard.

I started out using OpenCode with subagents. Then, after switching to Pi, went completely subagentless, usually on the current frontier GPT model. I didn't notice any significant change in context usage, and tasks were completed faster

We probably differ a lot in what we consider "basic". Are subagents basic? I found them only useful in very few situations. Is LSP support basic? There are mixed results on whether it helps or hurts. Are multiple choice asking too

I often find it reductive when people say "just tell Pi to build you an extension". Having used it as my one and only harness for a few months now, it's easy to get an extension, but hard to get a good one, that actually work

Because of the way humans learn, and everyone’s reference point being different (e.g. I know this, I don’t know that), this is very valuable if the author can provide a good explanation. That’s why there are books/docs like “rust for r

I think this is called "maladaptive behavior" in psychology. You point to bad incidents, find your favorite common factor that makes it easy to categorize the incidents in one bucket, and avoid that entire bucket. "I got poop

So which one is it: don't care about politics, or care to preserve intellectual multiculture? Part of the issue is that we don't have intellectual multiculture. We have a ton of noise, and some tiny bits of reputable signal drowne

I think this is not quite right. There are news, and there's entertainment (opinions and punditry). News actually have journalistic standards. They try to stay truthful and retract errors. But what most people follow are shows/per
