Funny, because just yesterday I was downvoted for pointing out (among other things) GitHub's less than stellar reliability these past few years. When are the AI vibe coders going to create a GitHub replacement? With 1000x AI productivi

Good riddance. I'd never even heard of this man until he came out telling developers to "get out of your career" [0] after stealing all their open source code for Copilot. Instant animosity. GitHub is completely unrecognizabl

At this point I can't tell if all these blog posts hyping LLMs are themselves written by LLMs, and thus hallucinating alleged productivity boosts and "next-generation development practices" that are nowhere to actually be fou

This is absurd. An opinion column in the NYT does not constitute an authoritative reference on the matter. Try some Milton Friedman [0] on for size: Now the first step towards understanding the cause of inflation is to recognize t

I have not actually familiarized myself with Leary's work. The closest approach would have been via Robert Anton Wilson and the rest of the ramifications through the occult and western esoteric corpus.

"The king is dead; long live the king!" is the feudal manifestation of the archetype of the slain and resurrected god. In similar fashion one's own virtual governor requires constant renewal and revision.

Anger is just another aspect of the human condition, and is absolutely justified in cases of grave injustice (case in point: Nazis, racism). It's not for some earring to decide when it is justly applied and when it is not; that is the

The moral of the story is that neocortical facilities (vaguely corresponding to what distinguishes modern humans) depend on free will. If you want to merely enthral yourself to voices of the gods a la Julian Jaynes' bicameral man, you

Amazing what LLMs and the power of AI can do for you! Economists take note, you are all going to be replaced by ChatGPT 5. Future POTUS, AI literacy will now be your core competency.

Yes well you see, women and the LGBTQ+ are always right and morally infallible; all men are simply subhuman conservative racists. As subhumans they are not entitled to basic human rights or required to provide consent for anything. Try as y

Ah yes, but of course Norvig never had access to current generation LLMs, which do let you learn C++ in 24 hours! No need to understand the memory hierarchy, the LLM will produce perfectly performant code right out of the box. With LLMs y
