This is fascinating to me. I am allergic to pork (or I would say intolerant, when I eat it I get a headache and/or stomach ache). But I did try a piece of wild boar once, and was fine after that. I will have to look into this!

The last thing this world needs is my handwriting spreading beyond my local community! But I would have loved to use this to capture my kid's kindergarten handwriting. Maybe I still have a sample around here...

One thing we did at reddit for a while was put posts from new people in "jail". They would show up in a special yellow box at the top of the home page to accounts that tended to be early upvoters of things that became successful

It's definitely more than .0001%. Look at the campaigns. How much time did the GOP spend harping on windmills and solar subsidies and "clean coal". Calling out democrats for trying to make the environment better at extra

There's nothing you as an individual can do, or even a small group of individuals. This is where government is supposed to work. Using its power to force everyone to do something for the collective good that isn't profitable. Al

Same with Los Angeles. In the 1950s, when my parents were young, you didn't need AC in LA. You just opened a window on the few hot days, and those were like high 70s/low 80s. By the 1990s, you didn't need AC, but your hom

Unfortunately most political systems around the world reward short term results, not long term thinking. Just look here in the USA -- the Democrats tried to do some forward thinking things like subsidizing solar and wind, and they were rewa

Gen-X was making the popular new art at the time. It was a strong reflection of the feelings of our generation. We were (maybe still are?) known for not liking authority.

Not sure I agree (and I made the jump from IC to management). Look at the parallel tracks. A VP is the same level as a distinguished engineer, roughly. To be a VP, you have to be a great manager and got lucky with a few big projects. To

To be clear, it wasn't my research, I got it from studying some linguistics papers. But it was pretty straightforward. If I am talking, and then you interrupt, and 300ms later I stop talking, then the delay is -300ms. Same the other

No, about 1/2 of human speech is interrupting others.

If your Alexa did that, how quickly would you box it up and send it to me. :) I am serious though about having it sent to me: if anyone has an Alexa they no longer want, I'm happy to take it off your hands. I have eight and have never

Two main reasons: 1. Compute. It's easy to make a voice assistant for a few people. But it takes a hell of a lot of GPU to serve millions. 2. Guard Rails. All of those assistants have the ability to affect the real world. With Alexa

Oh, this is really interesting to me. This is what I worked on at Amazon Alexa (and have patents on). An interesting fact I learned at the time: The median delay between human speakers during a conversation is 0ms (zero). In other words,

My next step was to add in having another LLM review Claude's plans. With a few markdown artifacts it should be easy for the other LLM to figure it out and make suggestions.

> At this point, I either jump back to new design/plan files, or dive into the debug flow. Similar to the plan prompting, debug is instructed to review the current implementation, and outline N-M hypotheses for what could be wrong.

Sort of, depending on if your spec includes technology specifics. For example it might generate a plan that says "I will use library xyz", and I'll add a comment like "use library abc instead" and then tell it to up

I'm using the Claude desktop app and vi at the moment. But honestly I would probably do better with a more modern editor with native markdown support, since that's mostly what I'm writing now.

The way I write code with AI is that I start with a project.md file, where I describe what I want done. I then ask it to make a plan.md file from that project.md to describe the changes it will make (or what it will create if Greenfield).

The infinitely worse part was when you maximized the window so the menu bar was at the top, but Windows still had the border there, which was unclickable. So now you broke the infinite click target even though it looked like it should have

If you're worried about privacy and security, why did you choose Inngest, which sends all your private data to Inngest? If you want truly private durable execution, you should check out DBOS.
