I feel the same about Claude Code. It's a fast but average developer at just about everything and there are some things that average developers are just consistently bad at and therefore Claude is consistently bad at.

That person's actions were only possible because the administration explicitly decided to put that much unchecked power into poorly vetted individuals.

I'm teaching a class in agent development at a university. First assignment is in and I'm writing a human-in-the-loop grader for my TAs to use that's built on top of Claude Agent SDK. Phase 1: Download the student's code

The truth is, God really gave 11 commandments. It's just "Thou shalt not grow a brain in a test tube and force it to play a 1993 shooter" didn't make any sense to Moses and therefore didn't make the editors cut.

I wonder if it has to do with how meaning is tied to the tokens. c+amara+derie (using the official gpt-5 tokenizer). There's also just that weird thing where they're obsessed with emoji which I've always assumed is because th

Right now I'm working two AI-jobs. I build agents for enterprises and I teach agent development at a university. So I'm probably too deep to see straight. But I think the future of programming is english. Agent frameworks are conv

I also have and use this iPad. Mainly for procreate and watching things. Even at 9 years old, I don't see myself upgrading in the foreseeable future.

This is beautiful and highly readable but, still, I yearn for a detailed line-by-line explainer like the backbone.js source: https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html

True for coding agents running SotA models where you're the human-in-the-loop approving, less true for your deployed agents running on cheap models that you don't see what's being executed. But yeah, a concrete example is pla

Not yet... but also I'm not sure it makes a lot of sense to be open source. It's super specific to how I like to build slide decks and to my personal lecture style. But it's not hard to build one. The key for me was describin

I use Claude Code for lecture prep. I craft a detailed and ordered set of lecture notes in a Quarto file and then have a dedicated claude code skill for translating those notes into Slidev slides, in the style that I like. Once that's

I hate to say it, but "vibe-coders" are just "coders" now. It's a huge shift, but we need to start thinking of AI-tools as developer tools, just like a formatter, linter, or IDE would be. The right move is diversity

This feels... reasonable? You're in their shop (Opus 4.5) and they can kick you out without cause. But Claude Code (the app) will work with a self-hosted open source model and a compatible gateway. I'd just move to doing that.

Having tried a few of these agent frameworks now, ADK-Python has easily been my favorite. - It’s conceptually simple. An agent is just an object, you assign it tools that are just functions, and agents can call other agents. - It’s "ba

I've gotten 7 years out of my 2018 iPad Pro and, for my use case of video, browsing, and Procreate, it feels like new. And I believe a big part of that is that the A12X was wildly overpowered when I bought it. I think someone deciding

Something cool about Silver and Gold is that we have such a long history of how they translate to labor. https://people.duke.edu/~charvey/Media/2013/Hurriyet_May_2_2... > In the era of Emperor Augustus (27

I use Markov chains as an example of a "Small Language Model" in teaching LLMs. My favorite thing about them is that you can use them to demonstrate temperature. The math is basically the same, and it has a similar effect of creat

I'm surprised by this take. I love YAML for this use case. Easy to write and read by hand, while also being easy to write and read with code in just about every language.

It is a little crazy how fast this has changed in the past year. I got VSCode's agent mode to write, run, and read the output of unit tests the other day and boy it's a game changer.

You can't expect world percentages to match US percentages. The US is only 5% of the world's population and has a very different relationship to search. Also, only 63% of the world is online, so what does "90% of global"
