<3 I wish you the best as well. I hope things are working out.

I appreciate your kind words. It also helps for me to remind myself how much worse things could be. I'm in a lot of pain all of the time, and recently, thanks to an abusive family member, I experienced an absolutely devastating life ev

I agree, and I think it's important advice that really does need to be drilled into people. Even if medical care is out of reach for some, we do have the internet and now even personal agents who can help teach us good habits and hold

Great, I had all three of those in large helpings. :)

The first thing that came to mind for me is that this perspective, while probably in the range of normal experience for software developers, is rooted in middle class expectations. I have ADHD and OCD and grew up in total poverty and violen

There are a lot of unknowns and processes that must be undone, which often require an unknown basis. Red shift, moving bodies, gravitational lensing and other processes distort light along its journey. Sometimes we don't know the exact

Yeah, and I completely believe in the punk rock DIY ethos and independent artistic control from start to finish. I don't like big labels and I don't like to support them because they aren't supporting artists. All of these ar

To a degree that was a sentiment, for sure. But many of us just like good music no matter what shape and size it comes in. Some of us even like bad music. I listen to a lot of bad music. I make a lot of bad music, too. But I'm having f

Nice work! I wrote this but as a compiler. It was ~2 years ago and local models have gotten WAY better; I was having too many issues with adherence (syntax errors, etc) and dropped it. The compiler comes with a model embedded or can use an

It's a good book, despite its flaws. It offers a lot of deep insights and I think it really inspired a lot of people, myself included.

Unfortunately that still gives another data point for fingerprinting.

Right you are, Ken. With the amount of new low-effort software we can expect to see over the next decade, taste becomes a hallmark.

You don't seem capable of having this conversation, please take the negativity and insults elsewhere.

You said "because we give them limited liability". I know you are capable of understanding why that isn't a reason. It does not even reference the proposition in question. I guess you are not interested in actually defending

I am going to ask a third time, on what basis? "Because" is not a justification and you're going to have to do better than that. If you cannot provide a justification then you cannot even begin to establish that it is in the

"Because we can make arbitrary rules" is not a justification or basis. Again, I am not saying it cannot or should not be done; I am asking for the justification. "Because I can" sounds like what my grandfather used to sa

Interesting, I'm curious how much you think lessons and practices from say, 2012 or 2014 are holding up so far in a rapidly changing post-AI environment. That would be my next concern as a potential buyer. I think as a proof-of-concept

But on what basis? We can probably both agree it's difficult or impossible to construct an ethical basis for the unilateral preference of the group over the individual, an easy counterexample is queer rights. So we can't just make

I'm sorry, but if you're halfway adept in both writing and using modern LLMs, every single telltale sign exists in this material. OP is right to call it into question, and you are embodying the very caricature which you're at

Look at the landing site for the book. The article and book are vibe-written. This is alarming for material meant to market a book. Count the number of times it brags about a specific quantity. Count the number of false insights, sentences

I agree with the premise and have also learned to apply my engineering habits to other domains that I normally struggle with. It helps a lot and allows me to churn through projects that previously would have not seemed tractable. But in thi

Meta is a terrible company but you're saying it should be illegal for the founder of a company to remain in control of the company as it grows. Why on earth would anyone start an initiative which could spiral out of their control? If m

Naïve take. We live in a global neoliberal economy, our standards of living are the direct result of introducing scarcity and other forms of exploitation elsewhere while keeping domestic populations largely unaware of how unfair their posit

I measure adherence to preestablished acceptance criteria, the same as I've done before while either coding myself or managing other engineers. It sucks, but you don't usually have the time to pour over code when you manage multip

I have agents that have been running nonstop for several days working through tasks. At some point I have to go to sleep, and wake up to more progress. Even with preplanning and post hoc analysis thrown in, I am seeing way more than 2x retu

The situation has been manufactured by the advertising industry such that the individual's rational response, blocking ads for multiple reasons, hurts the web in the long run. At the end, it will be said, "it was the ad blockers&#
