You can still get old Mac minis for less than that, which have more memory and can run Debian. Probably best performance per dollar hardware available on the used market

You seem to fall into the same set of criticisms as everyone who’s bearish about ai. It’s somehow so powerful that we can’t handle the ramifications. Meanwhile, it’s a waste of money and doesn’t do anything. You have to pick a criticism and

By that logic, you should blame the people that use meta’s products.

All these bills about age verification have nothing to do with protecting kids. This is just an easier pill for folks that aren’t privacy minded to follow. In the end, all your online activity and offline activity (flock cameras) will be tr

This like many other attempts at this type of thing don’t understand the in distribution vs out of distribution aspect of ml models. Using something the model has the most training on will have the best outcomes. A new handcrafted programmi

Not clear to me how cursor can remain relevant in the era of agent coding. The main things I care about now are navigation and quick editing. Vanilla VS Code or vim with some extensions does the job for me now.

Does this matter? I think every other agent cli is open source. I don’t even know why Anthropic insist upon having theirs be closed source.

Then track that data and upload when you can make the request.

You’re absolutely right. The labor market is still quite strong. All the doom and gloom from places like HN is coming from the many layoff announcements and fear of AI.

At the end of the day, he built something people want. That’s what really matters. OpenAI and Anthropic could not build it because of the security issues you point out. But people are using it and there is a need for it. Good on him for rec

I think in the end he’ll mostly be remembered for his support of trump and his abhorrent political views. He had a great comic strip that reasonated with people. He also wrote some interesting books. It’s a good reminder that your accomplis

I feel like cli agents are the main benefit of going back to Linux. It’s such a joy to have all the solutions to customizations and fixes I want completely automated, using an agent that can control anything I permit and understands my OS c

There was a great NY Times opinion piece on exactly this. You should try and look it up.

What a bizarre comment. It’s not clear if you are upset about you not being able to dig deep into these subjects or what your deal is. The post is about things this guy thought were interesting this year. Why the hostility?

I really wish this guy would write a blog post about LLMs. He had a great section about his lack of use of them at the end of this post. Like 90% of my code is now written by LLMs, but this guy is incredibly smart and is working on very cha

Sex is different from work. And you don’t have unilateral control over who anyone else has sex with. But, you do have say over how the government deals with the AI revolution.

I don’t think they serve the same purpose. Most of the instructions I have for an agent won’t apply to a human. It’s mostly around the the requirements to bootstrap the project vs what I’d ask for a human to accept their pull request.

I like this. I was using README.md, like many folks, which wasn’t bad. The main issue is the agent is typically updating it as well while building out the prototype.

I’m not sure if 10x engineers exist, but I do know 0.1x engineers exist. Being on a team with them makes a typical engineer seem like they’re driving 10x the expected impact.

Back in 2016 when I was at google, I started on a team that was all golang. I was working on my first project, building out a new service and got many readability approvals from Ian. One time I got an an approval with some follow up request

So far with my random / coding design question that I asked with o1 last week, it did substantially better with o3. It’s more like a mid level engineer and less like a intern.

There is an ongoing genocide in Gaza and genocidal language is commonplace in Zionist discourse. If there are cases of hate speech on the pro Palestinian side, they pale in comparison to speech from the other side. Regardless we shouldn’t b
