Sure, and I have a bridge to sell you. Or alternately refer you to the inevitability of Goodhart's law.

There was a code reviewer starting with M before Critique iirc (Mondrian I wanna say?). The M code reviewer was completely written in Python iirc.

At some point you have to wonder if there's some manipulation going on? Do 100s of bots buy and sell these stocks at specific times to keep the price up? Maybe there's an institutional investor or few who secretly back Elon and ar

You can go back by the year. Though I ended up hitting another roadblock down the road yesterday. So, I am currently waiting a couple of weeks for the flow to be functional.

> It is weird how humans are biased like that. We are able to cleanly separate facts from non-facts (for the most part). This is what LLM are trying to replicate now.

Maybe you are a games developer and are overlooking the fact that people have to first learn the basic apis/models/etc. of graphical systems, engines, etc. before using them. Not sure how you are saying that it wouldn't take

What is the contradiction? I am guessing it will take me a non-significant effort to learn game mechanics and code them etc.

> What I like about this post is that it highlights something a lot of devs gloss over: the coding part of game development was never really the bottleneck. A solo developer can crank out mechanics pretty quickly, with or without AI. Thi

Could you anonymize and share your last 5-10 prompts? Just wanna understand how people are using Claude Code.

For a lot of these changes, you need a motivated and engaged enforcer/system-owner who will work through these challenges. It takes time and effort to change the culture of a group. I can't imagine someone wanting to change unless

Maybe you were technically right for some small scope of the problem, no proper industry definition of GC was supported by C++ by any of the major compiler. So, the HPC scientists were right imo. Being technically right for an aspect that

OOTL here. Are there any major phones which implement RISC-V? Also, does this require across the stack changes? i.e. not just OS ones.

Ironically, the EVs are currently priced higher due to Fed+State tax incentives. I bet the EV prices would be much lower if there were no such tax incentives (this is evidenced by the fact that EV prices are usually updated the day after th

Yeah I use this for very limited functionality like maps, whatsapp, uber eats. I am also mostly interacting with Google playstore for apps/apks etc. This does still leave the phone open for any day0s etc. but we will cross the bridge w

I am still using my Pixel 3 (now without upgrades) without major issues. So, happy to see the new phones have longer promised update cycles. Hopefully Google doesn't clawback this promise in the future.

It's not O(N^2) is it? It can be a continuous line of ice being pushed up. Depending on the weight bearing ability of the lift and digging capacity, you would figure out a fixed distance after which you would place the buckets to carry

This has to also apply to PMs/ICs as well at some level right? You can just have one core role in your organization have no personal growth for 2-3 years and other core roles keep progressing. Most of the time you have a cross function

I test drove a Model 3 recently and wasn't impressed at all. I would never buy the car, on its own and with so many news stories like this where they are cutting costs for lower feature set essentially.

On a different note, shouldn't Apple support viable hardware till its live? Lack of security/OS updates is basically bricking a perfectly functional device and creating more waste on Earth. They could even charge users for an upgr

AI has generally been shown to have high creativity (e.g. Dall-E). However, AI is still lagging in other functional areas where humans excel (e.g. driving). So, the conclusion might be the actual opposite that AI will first achieve human le
