You can't copyright capabilities. I believe an exact copy of AE is perfectly legal so long as it isn't fooling people into thinking it's AE, and doesn't use any of the original code. The visual look can be protected, som

This is new to me, and therefore bad and scary. It's great that you know NN well enough to fold it into regular work. But think of all us poor regular developers! Who now have to grapple with: - an unfamiliar architecture - uncertainty

If the average person was living an "autonomous, self-directed life", I don't think Windows security holes would rate compared with stockpiling enough food to last through winter.

Thanks, tried it out - it's pretty cheap and pretty good. Being able to commit directly into multiple files simultaneously is great.

Love the thought that went into this. I subscribe to the broken window theory of policing. Letting officers get away with small violations opens the door to bringing their ego to the job, and an "us vs them" mentality.

The fault lines between unconscious understanding and reality come into focus when writing code. Intuition is fantastic for one big idea, or a few medium-sized ones, but struggles to remember lots of details.

Are there any tools out there that expose GPT or Claude to a codebase, and let it write PRs (semi) autonomously?

I like the linked story about the guy who leaked Halo 3 early. The guy lives a non-descript life, gets a taste of attention, and nothing comes of it. That's probably the median Internet experience.

Funny that it was commenting on the exact opposite, that Reagan was senile and had lost control of the CIA. Without the context it does look like he's a superhero though.

That project is the LSD of coding. - you get instant visual feedback - the problem space is infinite and depends heavily on framing and psychology - success is a moving target based on subjective goals IMO, "build a system for X"

Yeah, it has a good point to make (change means abandoning local maxima), but overplays its hand. The curve picture feels like a false idol, as soon as he starts doing TA on it, the carriage is well in front of the horse

Or, written even less kind, the intersection of sets of: - people with interesting lives - people who meticulously archive and backup all their personal data is close to 0. You're either doing or you're preserving, so if you prese

And honestly, knowledge is half the battle. People seeing "Addictive Feeds" as a dangerous product that needs regulating is worth more than the actual regulations. I think they're trying to make it go the way of smoking: - ge

As a user at the time, Chrome just looked better than FF. It was fresh and clean. The logo was brighter, the UI was rounder and clearer. FF looked like a Windows 98 settings menu by comparison. Tiny, fiddly, cramped controls.

I don't have a ton of experience, but I think you saying this reflects back on you as well. Maybe your boss and their boss really are terrible, or maybe you are angling for more power, and want them (even subconsciously) to look bad so

To me, it means "a unique take that cuts through the noise and displays a strong fundamental understanding of the core issues". That is often perverted/softened into "agreeing with me".

I'm making a game right now, and I'd kill for a good game designer. The gap between "high level goal" and "features to implement" is just as complex and squirrelly as the gap between "features to implement

I don't think so. Reinforcement learning is about teaching by pairing correct actions with rewards, like giving a dog a treat for doing a trick. Dynamic programming is a recursive algorithm that caches partial results (from the bottom

It's a potentially insulting gift for a writer. Writing lies between job and hobby, depending on success. This product, from the ad copy, is targeted at fans of writing. People sitting on the bleachers, not the ones on the court. So fr

I think you're right, the foundation is certainty about a huge, world-shattering change. It's an addictive thought pattern, because it feeds the ego, provides a sense of purpose, allows escape from mundane problems, and is simple

Housing has elastic demand, right? Based on prices, you can have roommates, children can live with parents, etc. Real housing costs could double tomorrow, and people would survive (not happily).
