This simply isn't true anymore. High level generic advice from agents is often, in my experience significantly better, unmodified, than doing nothing. Obviously its better to do it properly, but you know… opus 4.8 is a pretty great m

Why would you embed SQLite? It’s the same use case with a different api. A typical (meaningful) example might be communication between threads or actors in a single process, or idempotent tests. As with SQLite, an external xxx that does thi

Yeah but like, Apple put Rosetta 2 out and it was damn good. Vendors didn’t have to do shit to support the platform, they just got better performance if they did (like factorio). There is something of a difference between “all your stuf

This is a daft argument. We have b2b enterprise solutions for sharing text files; we have 1st party, security approved methods for distributing source code that are fundamentally business friendly and compatible with using skills. MCP might

You can share a skill by copy pasting the text file to someone in slack. Its not that hard.

Imagine you have a slot machine that consistently gives you 1-5 dollars for every dollar you put in. You like it. It feels good, and although you don't win a lot, you consistently win. …buuut, its a trap. As you put more money in, the

Mmm… but for AWS its pay for external use right? So your costs scale with the number of users you have. Thats an op ex that you can explain. For tokens for developers its maybe closer, cost/outcome wise, to hiring an external consult

I mean, the obvious immediate answer is “windows”, which tmux flat out doesn't support (except via WSL and a shared mount).

If you’re killing it, do your thing and be happy. I didn’t say you were a bot. What I said was: what is AI bad at? Let’s start the conversation there. Can you one shot a new Linux kernel with AI? Does “new project, are me GTA 8!” Work? N

Are agent harnesses the new web framework? Everyone wants to write one, building a new one is easy to start with, but tough to get to “prod ready” and the landscape is littered with failed attempts? Certainly feels like it. This is really g

Having tried it. Qwen is really good. Also, generally, it makes sense. 8B models are generally not very good^. That this 8B model is decent is impressive, but that it could perform on par with a good model 4 times as large is a daydream.
