   This may be it. I use it in dark mode and I am considerably less picky about font rendering than many people commenting on such threads. Combined, while I can see a difference if I look closely, it doesn't bother me.

   I, too, had infite time once, and loved spending most of it on coding. I built a toy OS[0], compiler[1], crypto library[2], a bunch of other stuff, and had a blast. Now, I have more obligations and more non-coding fun stuff I want to do. Fo

    He makes many very good points: For example he continusly calls out AGI hype for what it is, and also showcases dangers of naive use of LLMs (eg. lawyers copy-pasting hallucinated cases into their documents, etc). For this, he has plenty of

    Gary Marcus isn't about "getting real", it's making a name for himself as a contrarian to the popular AI narrative. This article may seem reasonable, but here he's defending a paper that in his previous article he c

    This reminds me of the Perl concept of taint. Once an agent touches tainted input, it becomes tainted as well (as you mention in the article), the same in Perl (when you operate on tainted data, the result becomes tainted).

    What’s “real open source” to you? I have a niche project useful to a small audience (grocery prices crawler for Croatian stores), 70ish stars, 10 or so forks, a few contributors, AGPL licensed. I used AI a lot (vibe coding for spikes and t
