Before AI era, specs meant documentations. The specs of jpeg, png, h.264, docx, usbc or whatever format you can think of, are not just a bunch of C++ source files. Compilable source files served as example implementations, complementary to

How do you justify buying Github stars? Because all the other people are doing it anyway and by not doing so you'll be left behind?

The V3/R1 time and now are in such contrast. V3/R1 were hyped hard and barely usable for coding. V4 is much less hyped but (anecdotally) it has completely demolished all the Flash/Lite/Spark models.

Two factors. First is anti-americanism (or at least anti-american-capitalism). But the more important one is the social contract. Github came far before LLM era. The branding around it is being the storage of open source projects and many u

Lol I wonder when Anthropic discussed the idea of Claude Code internally, were there bozos saying "3rd parties will eventually deliver this so we shouldn't waste time one it."

People say that a mostly-vibed project will collapse under its own weight. I personally doubt it, but I will be amused if the first big one falls this way is Claude Code itself.

Yep. The anti-nuclear group's narrative is always that "but no one wants that in their backyard..." but my god if only most voters realize that the waste from their whole state/country can literally fit in one single b

The funny thing is how ubiquitous TypeScript/JavaScript is. There is no escape. I also only use four languages: C#, F# (for DSL), Powershell (for deployment) and... TypeScript. Despite we have different tastes in language and are in co

What does this even mean? AI can be stochastic parrots and create billions of dollars of revenue at the same time. Steam machines are even dumber, but I'm quite sure that industrial revolution is a real thing.

Out of all the things that have computational power, PC is pretty much the only one that comes with a built-in way to replace its own system. Xbox, PlayStation, Telsa, Smart Fridges, etc. don't have this ability from the beginning. So

People have been saying that MS was becoming obsolete for at least two decades. And a few times, it did seem heading to obsoletion: first when Google Docs launched, and second when Windows Phone failed. And yet we're where we are. MS

"Bicycle of the Mind" has been cited to death. The problem is that it was coined so early that we are way past the aphorism stage now.

Or, you know, you can just build an app. It's far easier and faster to make such an app with claude today than learning a so-called no-code tool.
