Superpowers feels like 20 years ago when people would be sharing and debating their incredibly elaborate .vimrc files, which totally made them super productive. Meanwhile, I tried to stick to stock configuration as much as possible (mostly

What do they say, "quantity has a quality all its own"? I don't really have a strong opinion either way on it, but I think your question was addressed by the natural rate limiter mentioned in the comment you were replying to.

It's not a battle that's important to me personally. I think to some extent it's a personality trait, since I feel like I see echoes of this conversation where my Mom wants to hold onto things endlessly "in case" we

But why would you want to? Pro-tip, I guess, ",," is normal in German and maybe other languages as a method of quoting, but it looks bizarre in English.

Are those your own thoughts? Or Claude's? I tried to read but had to stop a few paragraphs in because of Claude's annoying authorial voice.

One shotting is useful to test but only with a huge prompt (eg, build something according to this spec). I agree generating millions of tokens from a handful of input tokens doesn't convey anything meaningful to me.

This must be you being in a different bubble from me, with perhaps a hint of Normalization of Deviance[0]. Those all sound like terrible ideas to me (are you implying looking at porn on a company laptop!?). You absolutely should not cross p

I'm interested in the concrete technical stack that "AI-native" start-ups use. No engineers and founders just go to full production scale on something like Lovable? Or code in GitHub, with something like Jules driving all the

China will, but they'll only be useable by hackers torrenting it and running it on small GPU clusters you learn about on IRC. Everything old is new again.

Do you have more info about this? I can't tell if you're being misled by the unfortunate "Mixture of Experts" terminology (which don't work the way you're describing), or alluding to something different. Or, ma

What does "use agents" mean from your perspective? Just Claude Code with some MCPs? Or like a full on GasTown type setup?

How old are the kids? Honestly two hours of screens and devices seems like a lot to me, so I'm surprised that's where you cut down to. How much were they using them before? But my kids are young, so it's probably different if

I think maybe "finding themselves on the space station" could be like humans finding themselves on Earth? You're born onto the planet and are simply grateful to be here. But the more you learn about it and existence generally

LotR is an oldie but goodie! I finally dug it out and read it this past month and it was quite enjoyable. I had tried back in high school but was kind of bored with the frilly language and songs and gave up. But this time around in my 40s,

No, the article has an Alaska focus because it's some Alaskan news agency, but I believe it's a nation-wide block. The judge in question is based in Massachusetts. Side note, but I'm sort of surprised that this "level&qu

I was wondering the same. I have to imagine it's mostly Gemini, unless Apple has a big, secret, SotA foundation model no one has heard of? But if it is Gemini, how does that work with their Private Cloud thing? Are they able to load th

Heh, I noticed the same thing, after the DaringFireball callout last year about the normal product demo progression. It looks "real" this time, but the question is how far along we are: will the journalists have a chance to play w

I'm glad to see their "Private Cloud AI" thing is actually happening. They announced it a couple years ago and then after not hearing a ton I was worried they were going to drop it. That said, the foundational models they tal

Yuck, those pancakes look and sound gross to me. Obviously this is one person's perspective (or at least, one robot's perspective apparently), on a personal site, so they can say what they want. But none of it resonates with me. I

What a great read. Thanks for sharing. It had honestly never crossed my mind that you didn't need to use an official cemetery to bury someone.

This thread is in the context of community PRs in open source projects. So it's not about AI or not, it's about maintainers using AI vs random contributors using AI. My point is that with AI, where the actual code generation is ea

by losvedir 4mo ago
It's interesting to see this perspective in the wild. In the age of AI I wonder what "massive value" your PR is bringing to the maintainer. $1 worth of tokens?

I'd be very cautious about "AI psychosis" here, or at the very least becoming a "crank". I've read too many stories of people convincing themselves they're on the verge of some great discovery to not hear

Oooh, here we go! As a professional Elixir developer for... 10-ish years now, I've been super excited about types coming. I'm very excited that the beginnings have started to land here. That said, I would love to know how the stat

Well they weren't necessarily bad. I think the Numenor (?) Kings of Westernesse (?), I dunno whatever the old Gondor kings were called, used them effectively. It was just Sauron that took over and made them dangerous. So, effective but

I don't understand why they ported the Zig part. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have just unleashed the tokens on Claude Code itself, and eliminated the need for the bundled runtime altogether?

Oh no! This is how I found out they cancelled it.
