Instead of jumping from project to project, I focus on one (maybe a few) and let myself free while agents spew out their output. Something physical is excellent for me: minor wood carving, origami, drawing exercises, also light physical exe

I think fundamentally we disagree on 1 principle, that "better" is the enemy of "good". This leads to choosing which tradeoffs to accept. And we are on the same side, to be clear. I want privacy. I also see what you ment

Stopped midway through reading it to clarify something. I don’t want your conversations :) Anthropic has it and this is beyond me. My plugin commits to your repo. When it comes to keeping the WTF DUDE out of conversations, LFS gives you a n

Thank you for clearly stating that democracy is not a value for you, instead of dancing around the concept with semantics. I completely disagree with you, but at least we clearly know why.

It has been chosen as a chapter title. In my view, it lends more authority to that statement over the other citations in that chapter. I am inclined to take this as a honest editorial mistake: adding a ? at the end would have been the right

Preserving privacy within a rule based democracy is important to me. This is the foundational tool for 450 million EU citizens, so I think is very important. We likely have different interests.

Ok, my answer was sloppy. Here’s what I meant: 1. Context is “EU digital identity”. For a decade EU asked researcher how to have a way to verify age only, without extra data leaking. They have a working solution, and it’s the one rolling ou

I am sorry you see it this way, when the very subject at hand is a practical example of how the EU has planned and built a wallet around the very same ideas you seem to cherish. Unfortunately, now that it comes to the news cycle, it’s easy

From a tech perspective it has been a solved problem since about a decade ago, via DID (decentralised identities) and their Verifiable Proofs. The EU digital wallet framework is built around those, and your suggested scenario is a first cla

The title is also the exact title for that paper’s chapter. You are right at pointing out that the paper is overall presenting the subject in a balanced manner, unfortunately it seems a bad choice was made when it came to that specific sent

EU enshrined privacy in its charter of fundamental rights. GDPR was and still is a major protection. US, from its biggest companies to the whole of Silicon Valley culture has done the exact opposite. Within the EU, multiple attempts at push

"AI speedtracks bullshit shops into bullshit factories" is the other side of "AI enables efficiency gains beyond immagination". As a freelancer I get to see both in action. No surprise! Do you rememeber agile? Sometimes

Let’s see if someone can point me towards some resources over the following. The problem is mixing vibe-coding and agentic-eng, and switching the brain in 2 different modes (fast-feedback gratification vs deep-focus gratification). There’s

Exactly. As long as the codebase is consistently following some given patterns, LLMs nowadays stick to it. Understanding that limiting number of “design patterns” in a codebase made it better (easier to code and understand) was a good prox

I like this chat, if you want we can continue this privately (username Gmail). You are bringing up valid points, and we have scars from the same battles. Given all this, what is bad about preserving the conversation that led to the code cre

Yes, it’s the new normal. That’s the issue that worries me, not to which specific war/faction this applies. Going from “Metadata fusion for targeting advertising” to “same, but for killing”, mark to me the moment where an industry is c

There are ways to play around the single wall of test issue. Mostly, git lfs. When it comes to “no dude stop etc etc” … that is valuable information. You can extract that and put down rules for agents so that you stop repeating it each time

I am actually working on that. Want to beta test? :) Can invite you to the, for now private github repo. Any feedback would be helpful!

What not just record the conversation? If contains all that is needed. The initial at large scoping, the failed attempts at doing x and not y, how that specific line of code solves that specific edge case, etc. When it’s time to review, rev

I agree with you overall, yet there’s one flow that works for me. Instead of speccing out a feature, I let PMs vibe code it. I then have the exact reference I need to build. Maybe LLMs oneshotted the right way, maybe it needs fixes, maybe s

It would be refreshing for once to see the top comment to such articles to be “Yes, we all know it, and we keep those app installed regardless“.

US dependency did bring a lot of value to a lot (albeit not all) of Europeans in past, specifically 1938-1988. If you were born, raised and lived in that timespan, you might have developed a deep seated and hard to break habit to rely on th

Focusing on SaaS rather than B2C. A clear advantage of getting users build their own UI is that processes emerge as a consequence. Specific roles within a team don’t use every feature in an UI, and often compose a series of actions in a wor
