A lot of very accessible algorithm articles too. I still remember the article on ternary trees.

Yeah, I'm Norwegian, and maybe the Scandinavian languages makes us extra likely to make those mistakes, but overall English hyphen rules to a large extent boils down to feels. Words "graduate" to hyphens over time as and when

> Yeah I must be missing something again. Comparing human to AI here seems to be fundamentally wrong. A human will learn over time and improve their mental model of a problem and ability to code. An AI agent for the most part is fixed by

Your entire first paragraph boils down to me as someone who admired Adam Back and who may or may not have English as a second language, coupled with the one additional coincidence of when he was around. In terms of language, I don't ag

If a human produces tech debt, do you think a human can't refactor? Most of the time a human works over code multiple times, and still produces tech debt. Give an AI agent enough time, by prompting it multiple times, and explicit instr

Having them clear it is trivial. I have my harness refactor automatically on a steady cadence, something I could never afford to take the time to do manually.

Someone who has read his material would be likely to repeat the same analogies and trivia. As for the hyphen errors, they are common for people for whom English is their second language. I commit hyphen errors similar to what is described

In fact, we are incredibly bad at telling lies from the body language of people we don't know well. Pretty much all the "well known" tells are sheer and utter bullshit that at best tells you if a person is stressed . That

I'd like to think that if I'd come up with something like this, I'd have quickly gone "oh shit" and realised it'd be hard to access the earliest coins without raising unwanted attention, and started mining with

Yeah, based on the list of interests, I guess I've been Satoshi all this time and didn't know it. A shame my memory must have been wiped as I'd quite like all of those bitcoins.

by vidarh 7mo ago
All of those similarities can be explained by Satoshi having read what Back wrote.

So again, this presumes that the result must be incomprehensible. That is not at all my experience. It may become incomprehensible if you let it , just as is the case with human developers. It won't be if you enforce reviews, and your

It's reflecting the value we get from it, relative to the cost of continuing if we switch to the API pricing. It is genuinely upsetting to hit the limits when you face a substantial drop in productivity. Imagine being an Uber driver

As others have said, the C64 does have bitmap modes, though it's understandable not being aware of it as they weren't that commonly used for games since it was often easier to use user defined character sets as tilesets if you had

There are customers there, some of whom are large enough to create significant demand just by insisting on their compute and storage being local.

The harness if anything matters more with those other models because of how much dumber they are... You can compensate for some of the stupidity (but by no means all) with harnesses that tries to compensate in ways that e.g. Claude Code doe

Norways conscription law was much stricter until very recently. Military police was looking for me to hand deliver my draft notice up until I moved abroad because doing so allows them to charge you and imprison you if you don't show. A

The prior rates in question there are message based pricing, not the flat rate subscription.

How would that work, when it's the flat rate subscription they've reduced the price of?

I do that a whole lot because most of the time I know the foundation will be accepted mostly as-is, maybe with small tweaks but not major changes. So I branch of a previous PR instead of development when the changes are related, and continu

Because over time those "flawed people using flawed AI" would - if they are so flawed - run their companies into the ground.

You're making the opposite argument of what you think you are.
