The cloning has been going both ways for years now.

The scaffolding and system prompting around Claude 4 is really, really good. More importantly it’s advanced a lot in the last two months. I would definitely not make assumptions that things are equal without testing.

Yes, but also a lot of other things. It's important to direct the LLM to emphasize some embeddings vs others. This makes the chances of you getting good results exponentially higher.

That would honestly be an extreme red flag for me if I was considering hiring you. As an older engineer myself, I would never roll the dice like that — my contributions in this industry are public and I have the network to show for it. My t

If you trust everything the LLM tells you, and you learn from code, then yes the same exact risks apply. But this is not how you use (or should use) LLMs when you’re learning a topic. Instead you should use high quality sources, then ask th

You can’t project trends out endlessly. If you could, FB would have 20B users right now based on early growth (just a random guess, you get the point). The planet would have 15B people on it based on growth rate up until the 90s. Google wou

Fwiw I think this is not true right now. It might be true in the future, I guess. Today you have to learn some pretty specific techniques and they don’t come naturally to most engineers I think. They are accustomed to one-shot Google search

Full disclosure, I worked many years at Fitbit, in a very senior role. The reason you want Whoop to have a subscription (and why I wear a Whoop now) is because it incentivizes the company to ship great hardware _and_ software. If you don’t

That sounds too dumb to be true. As in, is there some missing context that this quote was forklifted from?

Sorry but while I won’t argue the battery life angle, you really cannot say that the PebbleOS offers significantly more functionality than WatchOS. It just ain’t so.

Honestly, you have done the most superficial thing here. It’s fine, but K is much more interesting in terms of encoding ideas differently than ALGOL style languages, just as one easy example.

If it was instant we wouldn’t have latency and the three generals problem would be somewhat trivial (ordering would be mildly interesting in an algorithmic sense, but practically meaningless).

It is well established that teams with more representation make better decisions, likely because of their diversity of viewpoints. It is worthwhile both to companies and to society to have higher quality decision-making in fields like finan

Current LLMs can absolutely do this as well as you can, probably better.

This article essentially boils down to “Canon is a hardware company, they shouldn’t be allowed to charge for software.” I’m surprised this is news to you, but Canon can make money any way they want (within the bounds of local law). There is

If you have to get a sale done, it will absolutely create a discount on the price. This is regardless of the interest — all parties know you have a time limit. Yes you may still do a sale quickly and the price may still be at a premium to y

Maybe not average, but in Oakland after the ‘91 fire we now have yearly inspections, including overflying drones and helicopters as well as foot inspections of our properties. They alert us if we have any problematic vegetation, most especi

Internal policies at these companies are rarely subject to a level of faith that you're implying. Instead external access to systems is logged, internal systems are often sandboxed or otherwise constrained in how you interact with them

Fasting is a funny thing, because the definition is highly variable. As a teenager I fasted a few times[0] while doing construction work —- mostly carpentry. How the hell does a 17 yr old get the energy to move lumber, swing a hammer, etc w

The balancers could literally be part of the plan in your bus. Maybe you branch off a line of iron and two of copper to a green circuit plant that is then coming back onto the bus and being used downstream by both modules and red circuits.

I think that would be trivial to model in Factorio. Honestly every factory beyond beginner size is dealing with that, not always in a principled way of course. Personally I find the new DLC with compact design on space platforms to be reall
