Our minds and intuitive logic systems are too feeble to grasp how free will can be a thing. It's like trying to explain quantum mechanics to a well educated person or scientist from the 16th century without the benefit of experimental

Yes, but that is not an illusion. There's a reason I am perceiving something this was vs that other way. Perception is the most fundamental reality there is.

Let's be careful of creating different classes of consciousness, and declaring people to be on lower rungs of it. Sure, some aspects of consciousness might differ a bit for different people, but so long as you have never had another&#x

The agents instructions file needs to be hierarchical; It's a pain managing multiple agents.md files with a lot of duplication between them for different projects, even in a mono-repo. we probably need a tool for this. In any case, I i

I hear this denigration of CRUD apps all the time, but people forget that CRUD apps can be as complex or simple as they need to be. A CRUD app is identified as such by its purpose, not the sophistication of it. Right now I'm wring a w

I agree. I've tried the Node TS and test runner features, and they are still (not yet) as good as Bun's. So for now sticking with Bun for those. Really, in the Node ecosystem you eventually learn not to put all your eggs in one ba
