Prediction of a future transcript at a press conference after some major AI caused disaster: "We had no idea that the model would be capable of..... ".

The problem is picking between models. I do not want to spend my time switching models and trying to decipher which model should be used for what. Maybe that's just a me problem that I need to figure out.

What if we remove the stigma of authors using AI. We say, have at it, use all the AI you want. What then? The market is still finite. The authors are still competing with each other. They will still have to be good at creating compelli

I think the name of the game is going to be "how do we maximize output while keeping token counts low". For example, finding ways to replace AI workflows, even if minor ones, with scripts/code. Anthropic told me that I have

The author said that Claude was not good at refactoring. But the author was using Sonnet 5. I supect Opus 5 would have done a lot better at refactoring. It would have come up with a multstep approach, i suspect.

I like Bill's initial response to Steve... "No, there's no way to do that. In fact it would be really hard to do, and I don't think we really need it". Classic developer response when their code is called out. lo

Regex came up so infrequent that I found myself referring to documentation whenever I needed to use it. But I always wondered, what are the jobs or roles that use it so often that they have mastered it.

I think that the onus is on us to get better at using agents and AI to solve the pain points and speed things up while keeping quality high and our mental tools sharpened. I do nto think turning back is an option, but managing the pain poi

> So what’s the ideal “middle ground” in this situation? I use agents to code. But I remember the early days of just AI smart complete in the IDE, where as the programmer I had to be more involved with designing and implementating the s

Oh yeah, i should have guessed. Thanks for pointing it out.

IMHO they should cosnider re-releasing the 3310. It might sell similar to vinyl. Maybe update the games section to have some more games.

The concern would be the ever increasing cost of GPUs. I imagine to help mitigate the risk, having a setup where more GPU's can be added on, and the old ones can still be used (as new ones get added on) would make the endeavor more pa

Do you have any references for this comment: '"water use" thing is a myth anyway'. I would like to show my kid who keeps complaining to me about AI water usage.

I worked for a small successful company in the pharmaceutical industry. One of their founders died in a crash in his small personal aircraft. He was a really nice guy and very charismatic. I was not working there when the accident happen

I have the $100 plan and now quickly get downgraded to Sonnet. But so far have not hit any other limits. I use it more on the weekends over several hours, so lets see what this weekend has in store. I suspected that something like this mi

I worked in a backend team that introduced JWT, before I got there. The problem we had with JWT was that the data was stale. Even if it wasn't stale, it needed to be treated as stale because every service wanted the up to date data,

This risk with using the simple tech to start out is that you are one feature request away from being under engineered and will have to rebuild the whole thing.

The funny thing about the 3D chips is that if extrapolated far out, we end up with cubes. Definitely sci-fi territory. And maybe questions from kids like "but if they are shaped like cubes, why are they called chips?".

> Currently TSMC has the only leading edge chip fabrications plants (fabs) on the planet and they're all located in Taiwan. What about Samsung? I thought they also made leading edge.

To think how many things occurred during 1250 to 1860. All that progress was made during the little ice age.

Maybe this service can just be replaced by a journal. Or email the letter now and put it in folders with names like "do_not_open_till_2040".
