Yes. A munition that hangs around waiting for targets and decides whether it should attack without checking with a human. That’s a fully autonomous weapon.

This becomes more realistic once we have some breakthrough in inference costs.

Same here. I don’t use blender very often. But it’s in my regular toolbox. Hopefully my $25 will help.

This only works well if you are creating sub agents with clean contexts for each task. If you constantly are switching models part way through some work then the whole session needs to be replayed each switch. You lose all the benefits of t

I can/try to give you some advice if you need - email is in my bio. I did a semi successful CrowdSupply project based around the ESP32S3.

I wrote a bit about this in CrowdSupply write up - https://www.atomic14.com/2025/07/21/crowd-funding-retro CE is all about self certification. The lab testing gives you the confidence to do this. It can be ex

This has been happening for a long time - more than 10 years ago there was a movement away from having QA. Partly it was about continuous delivery - you can’t push out to production instantly if you have people doing QA. Partly it was - dev

I stumbled across this recently - back in the 70s publishing houses were paying people to churn out book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nlbfZGFKuI > Donald Rowland, a Suffolk author of nearly 200 books - written under

Early on in my career I wrote a highly critical email - I asked a coworker for his opinion before I sent. He said “there’s just one thing that would improve this” and hit the delete button. That intervention saved me, and everyone I was wor

This can still happen a lot for normal job roles. I have a candidate that I want to hire (say a recommendation, a referral, or someone I just want to give a job to) my internal processes may mandate that the job needs to be “advertised”. So

Oh yes - definitely the git kind of hook. Also, I always forget that there’s a pre-push hook as well. So you don’t need to do things every commit. But then you could just be storing up a lot of problems…

A lot of people will just add as many tools as they can think of. I don’t think it’s obvious that this costs money.

by iamflimflam1 3mo ago
Rather than bake that into the prompt - wouldn’t it be better to just set up a pre commit hook that runs tests and linting?

by iamflimflam1 3mo ago
gource seems to be on of those tools that people forget about. I don’t know if it’s the name or just simply that it’s the kind of thing you run once and think “that’s nice - what do I do with it?”. It’s not something you run regularly so it

There’s a whole bunch of hidden features that no one seems to be aware of. Preview has pretty good background removal. Notes will transcribe audio from audio files.

I was recently doing some work - reasonably repetitive and tedious. I asked Claude to spin up a bunch of agents to do it and after a bit of discussion we ended up writing a bunch of deterministic scripts that ran off the data collated by so

Agreed - there’s a point where supporting old out of date browsers is simply an enabler.

You may benefit from an embedding approach for semantic search. Not sure what an LLM would give you on top of that.
