I’ve been trying to “vibe code” with cursor, and it’s pretty bad. Lots of regressions, I get stuck in loops where it keeps breaking something. Maybe it’s the language I’m using (typescript) to a less applicable application (games) or the

I’ve wondered the opposite, having spent 6 months in a hot South American country, the heat in tropical countries can feel oppressive and take all your energy away.

It’s not mean it’s lies, which means they’re taking attention away from the true bad things that are being done.

I have a question for those who understand this better than me. How do you tell the difference between "Moving fast and allowing failure lets you learn faster" break into "We've hit a roadblock and now we're just w

Do they work? It’s an interesting pricing strategy because it begs your defense of them. If they work, then $10,000 / month is cheap!

Interesting to think of the back and forth of complexity here. Now I can build my own version of slack that only has the features my team needs, and all the features work exactly the way my team wants it, but I need to write integrations s

Yeah, this was sort of the crux of the paradox that make it hard to explain, you want to challenge your assumptions, but you want to detach yourself from your ego's' need to be right, so not challenge them too much. This is sort

This is basically my current heuristic around AI progress: "If LLMs were actually as powerful as they're hyped up to be, there wouldn't be the need for all of these attempts at handholding." There was a recent thing wher

Will this help or hurt Crypto? On the one hand, obviously deregulation makes it easier for companies, but isn't part of the goal of regulation to help people trust certain markets?

Interesting, I assume the opposite, that all of my beliefs are biased. Now this is a huge area where I'm biased: I assume that it is better to assume one is biased in all areas, and that this approach leads to less bias (because I&#x27

I have this weird and flawed theory that "Democrats breed Republicans and Republicans breed Democrats". The essence of the theory is that Republican policies like privatizing the post office, tend to anger or disenfranchise rural

Taking this up a level, I think Nate Silver wrote something yesterday about how much better modern polling and models were from like a reporter on a bus hanging out with the candidates. But I think we don’t often think about what we lose wh

I feel like the inevitable conclusion to a lot of philosophies is the tendency to be misinterpreted, usually pigeonholed and then often the creator feels the need to clarify "please be more open minded about thing X". Agile is lik

This has the same problem that a lot of Trump analysis does which is it says more about the author than it does about Trump. He’s describing a situation he imagines in his head, not the plan Trump is actually playing out. It doesn’t explai

Why are phd-level-agents paid twice as much software developers? Why don’t we see similar value in the real world? $2,000 for high income knowledge workers? None of these numbers make sense. Also I don’t really have any intuitive sense o

Are you literally unable to comprehend that people may be opposed to an invader for reasons that are different from 40 years ago? Who is defending the American empire? Isn’t it the same people supporting Russia who are also talking about m

So, AWS allows you to click around in the console to create and schedule lambda functions, relatively quickly; is this blog post comparing apples and oranges? If I didn't want any of the maturity of using IAAC, I wouldn't have to

Not much Worrying about Musk's ketamine use would be to question whether or not he could have erratic behavior in the future; isn't their enough in front of us to just worry about the behavior he is exhibiting?

I sort of have to hand it to republicans, I am impressed by their commitment to slash spending even in the face of hurting their own constituents, like at least they're consistent. On the other hand, it's amazing that people seem

I suspect that AI Overall will un-level playing fields, because it requires working at a higher level of abstraction, and -- within reason -- working at higher levels of abstraction is harder than working at lower levels of abstraction (abo
