On studies showing napping increases lifespan and all the good things, a common complaint is that presence of naps is also an indicator of high socioeconomic status. This anecdote is a good counter to that!

The Luddites were against the systems that were shifting work away from skilled workers (them) to unskilled workers (commonly children). I have no doubt serious injury and death happened at those machines but find it hard to believe that wa

All of them (except Eve) feel too much like WoW reskins to bother with. This is personal opinion but the feeling probably reflects why they have 1% (estimated by ChatGPT) of WoW’s subscriptions.

Let’s not forget how much US tech came from government programs like ARPA/DARPA. It isn’t exactly a decentralized bureaucracy. Just hasn’t been hitting as well recently.

I would take a sticker for a sponsorship. That could be a good deal. Not for free though!

VSCode updates itself what feels like daily so everyone is on the bleeding edge. There are upsides and downsides to that but it doesn’t feel like a trade-off many have made purposefully.

Fil-C says it doing runtime checks which is fantastic for debug builds (like valgrind) but I worry a bit about performance with that for release builds. Valgrind can be pretty rough! My personal view is that good C code looks a lot like Rus

I think there’s another hidden issue of testing how new devs use the language vs. those seasoned devs. I expect someone with a few months of experience would prefer Rust (fewer footguns) but someone with more experience would prefer C (the

The thought that consciousness or intelligence might be mechanical is horrifying and unthinkable to most people. The Turing test isn’t testing the clankers, it’s testing us.

It’s an interesting thought that our LLMs are Professor Oldman from “Man from Earth”, rather than someone more of this age. It probably isn’t actually true because training would reinforce more recent data but an interesting thought that th

Switch to codex! That will extend sessions 4x at least. Outside of that, the key is to keep context as low as possible. The cost of a token increases a lot as context grows. My current favourite approach to that is RPI. Run the Research, Pl

Securing agents in real time and testing them for drift in CI are pretty different use-cases… This post is an AI-generated ad, isn’t it? It’s getting too hard to tell!

What do you think about slow rollouts for new features? Like, we think this new push notification system will be loved but let’s ship to only 1% of users in case there’s a horrible unforeseen consequence like occasional 10min delays? Dashbo

I’ve been keeping them open in tmux and using either send_keys or paste buffer for communication. Using print mode and always resume last means you can’t have parallel systems going.

I haven’t tried this myself yet but you would still need enough non-vram ram available to the cpu to offload to cpu, right? This is a fully novice question, I have not ever tried it.

I just switched fully into Codex today, off of Claude. The higher usage limits were one factor but I’m also working towards a custom harness that better integrates into the orchestrator. So the Claude TOS was also getting in the way.

For a business with ten or more engineers/people-using-ai, it might still make sense to set this up. For an individual though, I can’t imagine you’d make it through to positive ROI before the hardware ages out.

For a 30B model, you want at least 20GB of VRAM and a 24GB MBP can’t quite allocate that much of it to VRAM. So you’d want at least a 32GB MBP.

I want to bump this more than just a +1 by recommending everyone try out OpenCode. It can still run on a Codex subscription so you aren’t in fully unfamiliar territory but unlocks a lot of options.

Running an open like Kimi constantly for an entire month will cost around 100-200$, being roughly equal to a pro-tier subscription. This is not my estimate so I’m more than open to hearing refutations. Kimi isn’t at all Opus-level intellige

There are some good ideas in the tools. I hope our culture has room left for curiosity and exploration in that way. I also highly doubt these will catch on over one-shotting and Jira though. Here’s one quick thought from each: Beads keeps t

The opposite of this is also fascinating to me too. There are false beliefs that make people who hold them better in some metrics. Like, the idea that hard work leads to success. We all know there is some element of luck, but even so, peopl

Drawing grids over an image is easy. Choosing which colour to drop in is impossibly hard and where the art is. Nearest Neighbour and Average of N Points are some algorithms than can be used but don’t take the overall style of the image into

Non-American here. Letting ICE have anti-drone weapons feels like the step in this escalation. Is no one over there panicking about that or is it seen as a generally better option than regulations?
