The Hebrew word used is Elohim. While the book ever explicitly uses the word, it stands to reason the author is speaking of YHWH, historically rendered as Jehovah or Yahweh. And as Jesus is the Son, the second person of the Trinity, it refe

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” - Ec

I’ve already had Fable disable itself during a normal /code-review skill invocation. What a joke.

Personally, if I am skimming a change log that is already limited in characters, I don’t care about ‘XYZ-999999’ in the main commit message. It’s good to tag as a trailer but I’d much rather see what the commit did than the Jira issue it ca

I recently had this experience with Jetbrain’s YouTrack. I was filing a bug, trying to be good and hand-write the prose, and it kept giving me editing suggestions. Not just punctuation and grammar, but critiquing my sentence length and stru

My point wasn’t bias but butt kissing. There is always butt kissing, and academia has some of the worst petty politics.

Hasn’t academia always been that way?

The last "When this stops being needed" needs one amendment: "Or stop using Windows."

But that's a weak argument, an argument from silence. And a pretty lame one at that. "You didn't say it's wrong to kill puppies, therefore you must be indifferent to killing puppies."

This piece imputes motives that I feel like is rather impossible to prove. Is it a bad look? Yes. Did it come from malicious intentions / retribution? Unlikely.

I tend to just commit whenever I see fit, then at the end I do a `git reset —soft` and write the history that makes sense before pushing.

Economics often assumes rational actors, but reality shows most people who make decisions are irrational. That's not unique to CEOs or corporations.

It's been said that technologies are not product. CC might be better, but at the end of the day M$ is going to want to cut costs and have employees use their own technology. Perhaps Copilot CLI is close enough, and the CC product doesn

This seems needlessly dismissive. The management revolution in the 20th century built the companies that innovated and built the economic middle class. It's a common trope to hate on middle managers, and not all middle-managers are goo

That’s not much better in my experience, from a human perspective. You inherit a system that someone designed a decade ago and all the original maintainers are long gone. One is then afraid to change anything, because of ancient landmarks a

That’s been my experience. If I send something generated with AI to a colleague, then I get something generated with AI back. Fair enough.

Starting to wonder that we’re going to start being forced to execute on an AI output instead of sharing it with other people. If you can reason yourself into a working system, you know what you’re talking about. If not, then it’s not worth

The LMGTFY answer to questions we feel are simple is very strong. Sometimes I feel like we forget that we know valuable things which are valuable to others, and that’s still better than what AI will spit out.

It's not that there's a cost to generating them -- per say. I wouldn't want an LLM generating UUIDs anyways. I think it's the cost of consuming them in conversation context that is the issue.

This doesn’t seem serious. “Two years of access” when the models and harnesses just got good last November. It also requires people to want to spend the time and tokens to build something for which we already have free alternatives (which a

Maybe they themselves are fakers and liars / deeply insecure. I got bumped out of an interview rather rudely once because I blanked and couldn’t answer a trivia question about arrays.

It’s about deeply understanding what you’re doing. Like as a kid before you knew how to ride a bike, you could sit on a bike and peddling, but until it “clicked” you couldn’t balance and keep going forward stable. Fizzbuzz tests your abilit

I would imagine that the strong type system would also help steer AIs to ensure that code is written correctly. The compiler supplies backpressure to the agent that steers it toward a more correct program.

Couldn't you say that about any code written by AI in any programming language, though? You might as well say "AI is bad at writing code".

> Please consider not vibe coding rust as AIs are not good at writing Rust and also hire a real rust dev Isn't the whole point of AI companies using Rust that it's explicit, safe, and AIs are fairly good at writing it?

What's the subtext here? I don't live under a rock, but there have been so many Anthropic kerfuffles that I have lost track.

I don’t go there. And I advocate others do the same.
