I use IntelliJ at my current gig—and the CoPilot plugin for AI, because it’s what I have access to—and it has become ClaudeCode-esque of late: sub-agents, skills, tool-calling, hooks…and continues to improve. It’s unfortunate how the AI-in-

No doubt. Government is already on the ropes in the struggle against billionaires and large industrial/resource-extraction lobbies. If anything, that’s what needs counterweight.

I suppose it could be that if one’s intent is to mislead, then obfuscating the name of a technique specifically meant for that purpose is a feature, not a bug.

Fun and useful PR jargon to describe what this post smells like: a “limited hangout”. (a damage-control strategy where an organization or individual admits to a portion of a secret or scandal after a cover story fails, while still hiding th

Soon we'll be coding with agent assistance and it'll suggest we get some Carls Jr. Big Ass Fries.

Since the objective was never disclosed, one might assume it was to deplete our magazine depth.

Good observation. I’m certainly not trying to over complicate things. That just tells us, though, that the bio-mechanical computation part is there before language, which I took as a foregone conclusion, it being meatware and all.

> humans reasoned before language That's an interesting supposition. Are you assuming language didn't exist before it was written? Language and meaning are, if you squint, pretty ancient and have roots in things like birdsong.

I'm not convinced—and certainly don't find it obvious—that this couldn't ultimately also be how we reason as humans. It's clear that there's an enormous amount of leverage built into language-as-practiced that one c

I’m curious what domains might use something like this. (I haven’t found a need, yet)

Does that data exclude FFI wrappers, which necessarily must be unsafe? If not, don’t put much stock in it.

Not completely unrelated. Both were likely entered to distract from the same news story dogging him every 24hr cycle.

That’s an extraordinary claim.

I always saw the mechanism being that Clevon created more offspring without instilling good memes.

Your first sentence is a perfect example of why emdashes need to exist. The comma is overloaded, since it can be used both as a list separator and for parenthetical asides. But that first sentence starts using them as a list separator, and

Agreed. OTOH, if the question is should I also learn some different way of thinking about music/fretboard, the answer is always yes. If it makes neurons fire, add it to the mix.

Can you pinpoint the revolution by pinpointing moments of invention and release? Revolution takes time because it’s more about uptake, downstream effects, and feedback.

Nice. If I add a primary and then clicking optimize—without first moving the primary—it seem as though there are still only 3 primaries, because the new one doesn't move.

It’s a common metaphor for merging a branch to the trunk. Probably because multiple in-flight development branches create a sort of air traffic control problem.

It starts lean, yeah. Did you know you can prompt it to add the capability you feel you’re missing?

Yesterday we learned that it’s been shipping with Claude Code since mid June, so it has a lot of active users already. Also, the unsafe footprint seems reasonable — the bulk of it in FFI wrappers.

Not sure where you’re from but it’s not esoteric at all. Here in the US our current administration is constantly vice-signaling to white supremacists to maintain them as a political base, and uses myriad similar winks to do it. One example:

Absolutely, it’s an act of kindness to loop them in. And if an eavesdropper complains about it I’d be super suspicious.

Same, but I blame Musk for that. Never seen someone squander so much good will so quickly. It was a choice he made but could have easily avoided, and it’s not like he couldn’t anticipate the downstream effects.

This is a frequently mentioned criticism. Is there a good argument about why that approach could have been done in the same amount of time? Seems like larger scope and more uncertainty to me.
