As soon as the screen became marginally more interesting than the person next to you social life was pretty much doomed.

It really feels like you have a junior engineer who knows every piece of programming trivia known to man, types at 1,000,000 wpm, but couldn't gather enough common sense to screw in a lightbulb to save their life.

It’s a good question. I think a better benchmark than the current options is “go make $X dollars this quarter.” Right now the models fail this miserably. Claude can’t even run a vending machine inside Anthropic HQ. So there is still some ki

Claude Code makes me feel like I'm dispatching a legit engineer to go get something done. But they come back in a minute instead of a week. Most of the time the solution gets the job done. Sometimes it introduces too much complexity, s

Most Americans don't need cheaper iPhones and Amazon/Taobao slop, they need higher wages, cheaper food, cheaper housing. A cheap dollar moves industry back to America and this is a win for the average American. A weakening dollar

“Looking good doesn’t affect your success” is one of those pernicious anti-advices like “elite university degrees don’t matter” and “family connections are worthless in our meritocratic society.”

“On the Road” has many vivid depictions of San Francisco circa 1950. Most remarkably they spend almost all their time in the Mission, because this is where all the work is at docks and warehouses, and when they go out at night the jazz club

Because the US has so many bases worldwide, it's always under some kind of attack. Iran for example has been aiding openly the groups that attack American bases in the Middle East for decades. The Beirut Barracks Bombing is a tragic ex

I have a feeling ASI will follow similar trajectory as fusion, with the critical intelligence explosion always 2 years away. AGI by Turing’s definition is here. But fusion my whole life has been just around the corner…

Yes, it's true, but what I mean is that in Elixir I can just write the happy path and not crash the system. My Python code requires meticulous exception handling, sometimes taking up half of some functions. It's the design of the

It's a windfall. Having written the same project in Phoenix and FastAPI/Expo, I assumed LLMs would be better at writing Python and React. But the amount of boilerplate and opportunities for harmful side effects in the code means I

An extremely simple hypothesis: The world of today is more cognitively demanding. To take a very simple empirical example, 7% of 25 year olds had a college degree in 1960, 36% in 2020! You have to wonder what the neuroprotective effects are

It is indicative of marginal improvements instead of new breakthroughs. iPhone 1 was a paradigm shift. iPhone 10 was essentially iPhone 9 with tweaks. As an AI optimist I would be disappointed to find we are already seeing diminishing retur

I don't think they are targeting software engineers as users. They are seeking those on the software engineering margins, users who know what Python and for-loops are but don't care to configure Aider and review each of the overwh

Is it any wonder that the civilization that invented the printing press, the university, the Internet, and the transformer, would have its large language models reflect itself first and foremost? Or are we joking around here?

I think very simply we need a persona to bind our feelings on the music too. This is why Hatsune Miku is so big even though "she" uses many "slop" like elements in her work. Slop often is quite high quality when measured

Yes, why are deep learning models so effective relatively at writing code? It's because programmers have been making their work copyleft for decades, and continue to do so.

It seems to struggle to create music with a strong identity. It is great if you want to make a poor imitation of top 40 hits. But the thing about top 40 type music is that the best music is already in the Top 40. It remains to be seen if th

One of the strengths of the Chinese companies is they are more aligned on their goals as team members: make cutting edge LLMs and sell access. When you have all these competing interests you end up with internal strife. This faction wants t
