If it's code that you can tolerate being somewhat messy and suboptimal, you can run agents e2e. If it's critical piece of code that has become part of your identity, better do the PR work and scrutinize it well. LLMs are still nex

Everything is designed around collecting your data somehow so that they know what to sell you next. You've no longer the customer, you are an agent that gets to use that interface.

Intelligence explosion won't happen if we keep on investing big cloud LLMs and people who are in the business of being in busines (cough Musk cough). It will arrive when AI penetrates so much deep into our lives that we consider qualit

Do you have access to Anthropic model weights to run them locally?

South Sea Bubble part 2. I guess that's one way to break the gridlock and make history, as much as I hate to admit it.

Not yet. Without pure Apple game or decent GPUs, even with a lot of RAM and threads, all you get is about 30-50 tokens/second, and that's thinking turned off. Without these optimizations your model will have a field day with your

Check your system/user prompt. If you ask for pushback at all costs, you get pushback and if your initial position is rock solid, the model will push back using the nitty gritty details. You don't need to burn Opus credits to disc

Chekhov's gun. If you keep pointing to it, someone will fire that gun until the game ends.

LLMs have always been next token predictors and generators. What it will produce next will depend on its dataset. Feed it outdated answers from StackOverflow and you will get that. Feed it bootcamp material, and you will get that. Feed it a

Managers will let you get away with anything if you time your reports correctly. They also don't want to sit in meetings where they are reminded of better outsourcing alternatives and they chose to dogfeed instead. We've become to

Tesla grew from two dudes making a sports car in their garage to being a decent EV company, despite many controversies. SpaceX is already propped up with government contracts to ship payloads to ISS. What could potentially justify 40% or so

Maybe off-topic, but I'm also not happy about how they butchered my boy Opus 4.6. The model that could now hallucinates regularly. Fable isn't even that great, not to mention it drinks token by the gallon for breakfast and keeps y

The problem with WWW was that in a graph, you needed to find a way to rank the nodes. That was PageRank and it was the right tool for the right problem. When AI tries to do that, it essentially consumes a "curated list" of pages a

10 engineers build a billion dollar company and immediately realise they need 1000 people to run it. Getting 1000 Claude licenses will still be expensive, let alone maintaining those swarms of agents.

That's it. If you have confidential data that you're running with Fable, you're giving that away for free. Maybe you have always been, but now they explicitly ask for it.

Wait until it flags duplicate code as a reason to stop, then a library owner could halt code generation entirely, and then another library owner could ask to be prioritised in the selection phase. Infinite money glitch, and you only get to

OpenAI and Anthropic, despite bombastic media coverage, are still frontier labs. Google won't go down under if Gemini doesn't sell enough anymore. Apple and Google are planning for the aftermath of the AI IPO craze, one way or ano

I was working on a project where the code was erroring hard, inconsistent, immensely bloated and probably written by a bit of 2023 era AI assistance. It didn't have a lot of tests, too. I had no intention to be a garbage man on that sp

1) Slow code. Let the agent(s) discover and plan, then launch the swarm on the confirmed implementation steps. 2) Use LSP. If nothing works, usually you can connect it via MCP. I think all coding agents support this by now. 3) Add hooks if

Anything to avoid Peter principle at all costs, I guess. I will spell it out: We have an aging middle manager problem in IT. Those with less desire to catch up on things have mandate and budget to pursue projects with sunken cost fallacies,

So the market is still being built: Whales come in with educated guesses, use limit orders like responsible adults and take cash home. Daredevils, amateurs and gambling addicts come in, go all-in and try to time the market, which probably n

I think it's time the report-only intake should stop. If a reporter can't reproduce at least one use case or can't summarise it in two sentences, it should be classified as spam. LLMs write beautiful reports, it's just t

No, we don't even need that. When we realise that we all project consciousness claims on each other from what we observe as zeitgeist now, just to do credit assignment, most of our circular debates will disappear. But this won't h

If your idea of a job is to sit pretty in meetings, agree on increasing synergies, then go write an email or fill out a form or something, yeah they will be gone. Anything that requires you to think in constraints, orchestration and optimiz

It's essentially a low-end laptop made from iPad/iPhone parts. Supply chain for RAMs must be crazy that they had to navigate another tier below Macbook Air.

This should be repeated ad nauseaum: Just because CNC tooling is available, you wouldn't get rid of your wood/metal workers. You give them more scoped tasks, expect them to finish sooner with more standardized output, and... you l

Internet used to be a cyberpunk escape hatch. Now we want to get rid of any and all anonymity at all costs, to the point of waking your phone up with a face id and your internet history tied to your government ID 1-1. This is just sad.

Ask AI to ruthlessly reduce cognitive debt, purge unnecessarily defensive code and be extremely pragmatic about what you want to build. If an AI junior is building you Vault when you just asked for a secret rotator script, he's just sh
