This was just standard procedure at university in 2002. Nothing special. It was me and 200 more people. Pretty sure all the exercises were lifted or inspired by The Little Schemer even thought it took me years to learn about that book.

I mostly learned with pen and paper and tracing in my mind. We were 18 though

N=1, but I learned scheme first. It was great and I'm doing fine. First scheme then C. Back-to-back.

Almost certainly these people know way way more than you and a lot of knowledge is tacit knowledge and cant be explained easily. Also don't trust anything from college that are not hard provable facts. Just don’t. Trying to learn &quot

It was never really about typing the code for me, or solving trivial tasks in isolation. It was always about building the right abstractions, great api surfaces, growing codebases without having them collapse under their own weight, etc. I

If you are an LP a their fund this is what you would expect. Hate the player not the game.

Maybe the U.S. Second Amendment isn’t necessarily a bad thing. People should have the ability to resist or overthrow a tyrannical government. This is what happens when the population has no guns.

I'm sold on this. Have been looking for something similar!

You guys are all really purist with your shade of white.

claude code is really good at it from my experience

distilling does not require the models to be released. They simply use the apis. They have been a source of innovation but probably not in training them.

that's because they are distilling the frontier models

You would expect them to have started baking the pizza inside the pentagon already by now :)

Hard to tell... It's not double or more net gain, that I can tell. I'm not even entirely sure it's a net positive at this point but it feels like it. I would say probably between 20% to 50% more productive.

I am giving my 6 year old girl an old acer netbook that boots directly to pico-8. This will be her first computing experience. She never had access to phones or tablets.

I think there might be something here! a core of truth about what the future might hold. I cant take this approach right now though. Its not a good approach today.

Sure. But am I supposed to still understand that code at some point? Am I supposed to ask other team members to review and approve that code as if I had written it? I'm still trying to ship quality work by the same standards I had 3 or

I must be holding wrong then because I do use Claude Code all the time and I do think its quite impressive… still I cant see where the productivity gains go nor am I even sure they exist (they might, I just cant tell for sure!)

Very good (albeit extremely cynic) take! reality is probably somewhere in the middle but it does make a good case

I’ve always had this weird intuition that Zeno’s Arrow Paradox is some indication that there must be some discreteness. Somehow, somewhere, there must be a ‘tick.

What happened with their plans to start writing in Swift? Does anyone know?

I've implemented otp codes / magic links many times now. They absolutely always have a timeout. Say 30 minutes.

Some of them are wealthy because they are the best at playing the wealth game (and got lucky along the way). Why does everyone care about Cristiano Ronaldo? Being the best at kicking a ball is the stupidest skill there is (IMHO). at least b
