i do think that the type designers did incredible work with monaspace… i used to be an Operator-exclusive kind of guy (rip hoefler x frere-jones), but i genuinely think they did enough to completely displace it from my font lexicon, which i

the claude code team ethos, as far as i’ve been lead to understand— which i agree with, mind you— is that there is no point in code-reviewing ai-generated code… simply update your spec(s) and regenerate. it is just a completely different wa

oh my god… we thought anthropomorphizing “the computer”, was the problem, when it was anthropomorphizing the principals all along… (yes, i know that is the joke you made, but it was so incredibly appropos that i felt the need to comment to

this is true, but i think people are best off starting with SOME project that gives users an idea of how to organize and think about stuff. for me, this is gastown, and i now have what has gotta be the most custom gastown install out there.

is anyone else really starting to get fucking tired of this bullshit? yes, it is not an unprecedented, nor unique, phenomenon, but, like, it just feels so blatant. and i say this as someone who doesn’t reflexively hate everything trump does

love the hegel reference. i know hypothesis is awesome, and so im certain this is as well. this is no real complaint about the post, because it is a personal skill issue, but for someone who is more of a PL nerd than… most people on earth…

sorry in advance to their employees as they go up against the value buzzsaw that is Salesforce as an acquirer. i have years of firsthand experience, and there was not a single win in my entire tenure there.

it’s not that shorter rules are intrinsically better, it’s that longer rules tend to have irrelevant junk in them. ceteris paribus, longer rules are better. it’s just most of the time the longer rules fall under the Blaise Pascal-ian “i reg

except for the overwhelming evidence from video we already have that waymos are reacting than a human in the driver’s seat would, much less someone 200ms away.

i cant wait for the world to catch up to process, session, et al. calculii. the closest i’ve seen is all this “choreo” stuff that is floating around nowadays, which is pretty neat in itself.

that's just not even remotely my experience. and i am ~20k hours into my programming career. ai makes most things so much faster that it is hard to justify ever doing large classes of things yourself (as much as this hurts my aesthet

he sounds awesome. even though i’m sure i would view him as a total kook, he’s the kind of kook that life is brighter for everyone with his existence.

you can… it’s just not really clear that anyone does. that said, i think if you polled the average joe on the street, they would overwhelmingly say that you can, which is probably a net gain for society.

yes. just because it is unfashionable to argue in favor of aristocracy does not mean that it doesn’t have its own intrinsic set of benefits and drawbacks… the drawbacks of ultra democracy (populism, etc.) are all cast aside as the innocent

none of what we are using today is even remotely being pitched as AGI. if anything, the foundation model makers go out of their way to pitch the opposite. this is a thing made up entirely in your head, and then you put it on others and then

if it's something you do 100% of the time, is it really adding any information to the world?

that's simply not how it works, and quite obviously so. the stop time is absolutely not linear in the number of people who board the bus. just think about all the time it takes to slow down, possibly make the whole bus kneel, and then

i love how this disintermediates the next.js/vercel axis, which seems to be determined to make basically everything hard except for exactly what they want to do. as much as i love what vercel has done for open source in general (amazin

that's what the cultivators of these examples are preying on. but in practice what people care about is "can i get it to do <X>", not "is it a decider on every possible token sequence that humans perceive to be abo
