TI-89 has surprisingly good symbolics tools and solvers for something that runs all year on a single set of AAA batteries. Feels like magic alien tech.

Waiting for the LLM is the best time to do the deeper review of the last output. I like to fire the model off to do exploratory implementations as I refine the existing work.

Yeah, sometimes it feels like we're just layering unintelligent things, with compounding unintelligence... But starting earlier this year, I've started to see glimpses of what seems like intelligence (to me) in the tools, so who k

Woah, Jesse's blog has really come alive lately. Thanks for highlighting this post.

I know I'm replying to a shitpost. But I had a realisation, and I'm probably not the only one. If you can manage to keep structuring slightly intelligent tools so that they compound, seems like AGI is achievable. That's why t

Drawing with undo, layers, gradients, transparency, and infinite brushes is very different from sketching on paper. I don't think a sketchbook is anything like it. Just borrow someone else's underused ipad if you want to give it a

I think the implication is they could have stayed under the radar and still have that $1B.

As someone who works back and forth on Windows and Linux all day, its handy to have excellent cross-platform tools like ripgrep.

It's a (better IMO) replacement for poetry, but not drop-in. Additionally it is a drop-in replacement for venv and pip-tools.

Does uv actually have a replacement for setuptools yet?

I end up using both because neither is very good. The webmailer one is better at conversation threads. The native one is better at scheduling meetings.

I've used keyring, but ultimately does not solve the issue of every application running under the same user. https://pypi.org/project/keyring/

Black/Ruff (python) had this issue too, and I like how they resolved it now by respecting the trailing comma.

The animations seem appropriate for teaching the content and actually seem like more effort than just talking into a camera. But I agree there has been a drop in quality with the growth of his team.

If you invent a new kind of bagel, not much of a difference. For something on the scale of the internet, political alignment is absolutely critical for its creation, regardless of who invented it.

No writing class at 16 of course, although all assignments were still required to be submitted in cursive until around then, with points quickly docked for spelling and tidiness lapses. But the curriculum was years behind, so by the time so

I'm not disagreeing with you, schools can be great places to learn. I envy your experience. My school sucked, catering to the slowest students and bullying the self-motivated ones. The general view of the administration was that the wh

If there was any rote memorisation at my school, I don't remember it. I do remember being forced to write until my fingers were raw. So yes, practicing writing gave me a valuable skill I would not have picked up on my own: I can sharpe
