I live this site - down votes even though it’s 100% true. There are TONS of old recordings that don’t even have masters anymore and the digital versions are ripped from a vinyl copy. There’s entire communities around this.

There’s a lot of articles about it. It costs them $500+ for heavy users. They do this to capture market share and also to train their agent loops with human reinforcement learning. https://ezzekielnjuguna.medium.com/why-anth

They lose money at $200/month in most cases. Again, the old rules still apply. You are the product.

Sentimental sure but there’s also a lot of music that was never properly remastered for digital so the vinyl distribution does in fact sound better.

We need filters. I’m not agreeing with Thiel but pointing out to parent why he is listened to but a guy sitting in his own piss is not.

Correct. We call that “credibility”. People can earn credibility in this world through their accomplishments. If your life accomplishment is sitting in your own piss you lack credibility.

Yeah I don’t think yet. But keep generating and tooling will arrive that can better connect it. We have the nodes (markdown files) but not the edges of the graph.

This is actually a good thing, or could be, for you and here’s why. Today no one gets a call back when they apply for a role they’re 100% qualified for. It’s because the recruiting system broke when LLMs became widely available. You can dum

It’s becoming a bigger and bigger problem actually. AI can create a perfect CV and cover letter and people apply for everything. It’s hard to get a callback because you’re just 1 datapoint. So recruiters have to call you first or use recomm

At the very least teams will communicate with each other much better. So much of the tedium of office work is able to be automated so people can spend more time solving problems instead. But the communication will massively improve. More ar

Paper ballots work just fine. Why are we using tools for scale (computers) when voting is an incredibly small and finite domain. Just total waste of tax dollars and over engineered solution to a simple problem.

How do people not understand this? LLMs are goal machines. You need to give them the specific goal if you want good results and continue to reenforce it. So of course this means speccing and design work. People are so enamored with how fast

Supervisor agent frameworks are going to be a big industry soon. You simply can’t have agents executing commands without a trusted supervisory layer examining and certifying actions. All the issues we get from AI today (hallucinations, goal

The entire system and the agent loop allows for more complex goal resolution. The LLM models language (obviously) and language is goal oriented so it models goal oriented language. It’s an emergent feature of the system.

Work in smaller parts then. You should have a mental model of what the code is doing. If the LLM is generating too much you’re being too broad. Break the problem down. Solve smaller problems. All the old techniques and concepts still apply.

LLMs are literally goal machines. It’s all they do. So it’s important that you input specific goals for them to work towards. It’s also why logically you want to break the problem into many small problems with concrete goals.

Database migrations are hard and inductive and often fail in some aspect. Why would you want to spend time doing them when you can spend time building the important thing after the migration is done. Secondly - AI helps with happy path task

Yeah building acceptance criteria first is the way. An LLM is a goal machine. It uses probability over and over to advance towards the goal(s). That’s all it is and wants to do. So giving it well defined and granular goals and guardrails w

It’s why I said not those exact things. But already today when developing with agents you get best results from selecting it as much as possible so it can then logically break it into smaller contexts and iterate. It’s not just dropping in

I have some Euro friends that went to Dubai instead because the USA is “too dangerous” right now. I wish them safe passage back, but yeesh talk about irrational perspective.
