This "quadratic-time performance" is incredibly disingenuous. First, it's doing n operations that are each O(n), so it's more like "can have linear time performance, but done n times so I can give you a scary title&

That's the surprising part. It's pretty obviously spit out by /frontend-design, the tells are too obvious because Claude has built me too many of these, but /frontend-design by default will give you both a dark and a lig

prestigious.edu isn’t Stanford; went to a different school for PhD. And the prison bit is just something funny about Jane Street (that sort of vindicates my view of these people) that I edited in later, didn’t think much about it.

Yeah, super ethical lab earnestly believing AI has 10% chance to kill all humans within a decade and doing utmost to protect humanity is partnering with MIC and Palantir in particular. Sounds about right. Before you tell me about how the CE

> Why be a poorly paid postdoc when Jane Street is offering a million USD signup bonus? One reason is despising that line of work. Quant firms were pummeling my @prestigious.edu inbox throughout my PhD and I fucking hated those parasites

One related problem I see is the pipeline for producing working mathematicians seems to have been completely and irreversibly decimated. What’s the point of doing a long and arduous PhD when all PhD level research problems that used to take

Sounds like https://github.com/gastownhall/beads to me. I prefer working solo, single-threaded on components to stay on top of agentic work, so it didn’t end up being a force multiplier for my workflows (and actually k

I like how this repo has 159 files with 11635 LoC, and the load-bearing (!!!) part of it is a couple lines of natural language instructions: 1. *Does this need to exist at all?* Speculative need = skip it, say so in one line. (YAGNI)

Well shoot that's a bad security incident, and the content downloaded can be malicious payloads. Can you share the 40-character hashes of these content so that I can preemptively add them to my malware detection signatures? You can fin

Sure, because people you know haven’t shared with you, no one would “be making those TikTok videos in the first place”. Can’t argue with logic.

Given that my nontechnical coworker has shared quite a few of these TikToks/Google Shorts with me, yes tons of people are making them. I don’t know what kind of alternative reality you live in, you can just go to any social media site

Still a win. Claude loves to write code from scratch instead of searching the web and pulling in dependencies, so you’ll likely end up with fewer garbage tier plugins written by people whose average skill level is put to shame by bootcamp g

Of course <arguably creepy thing> tends to be built by people who don’t find it creepy, not really changing anyone’s mind with that line of argument. And you just found plenty of people who consider it creepy and will complain today.

This reads like someone took two conventional non-AI reports about (1) different teams’ conflicting viewpoints of the same data; (2) deterministic traceability that is hardly remarkable, and asked Claude to merge the two reports and shoehor

I too have enjoyed vibing some random shit on the side and not having to beg people to build features I want anymore, but knowingly shipping subpar agentic code at work still kills me a little. (Well there’s no pressure on me to ship, but a

What I don’t understand is that the vast majority of LLM workloads are pretty damn latency-insensitive. Why can’t they build these data centers where there’s little to no opposition? Sure someone will need to maintain the data centers, but

Try to pay for SaaS online. Tons of them accept nothing but credit cards; and then some of them accept direct withdrawals from bank account but it takes days to verify. Services using Stripe seems to be the worst at this. (I’ve never carrie
