I missed out on having my transactions publicly posted on Venmo, too. I’m just a slow adopter, I guess.

Typical paulg overgeneralization from his bubble. Just because many political opinions are legitimately debatable doesn’t mean that every opinion about every topic you call political is equally valid . That’s just silly. I don’t see Paul

I don't know about that...his initially-useful definition of "vibecoding" is just about hopelessly lost at this point.

I just told Claude Code to use the command line LTSpice tool. Actually, I'm not even sure I did that much, I may have just told it to "use LTSpice"!

I call it the “sandwich fallacy”. A lot of good bakeries decide to start making sandwiches. It’s an obvious value-add and adds margin. But sandwich customers are different from bakery customers, a sandwich shop has a different layout from a

Not only is the YouTube iOS app huge, it uses an atrocious amount of additional storage. It was using over 2GB on my iPad for...something...and the only way to clean that up was to delete the app and reinstall.

This looks great, but I want to know when LLMs will be useful for generating schematics rather than just checking them! It’s such a letdown right now to jump from doing firmware with Claude Code to drawing schematics manually like it’s 2022

Some anecdata: This weekend as a lark I asked Claude Code to design a (fairly simple) analog circuit and simulate it in LTSpice to verify. It did three edit-simulate-fix cycles and to my surprise ended up with something that seemed pretty s

The last thing they want is a reliable ID. It would make arbitrary detentions even less justifiable.

Citizens can be denied a passport for various reasons (22 CFR 51.60).

by wrs 10mo ago
The actual point is, as a citizen, I’m not required to carry any form of ID just to go about my daily business. This is not supposed to be a “papers please” country.

Now that we know code is a killer app for LLMs, why would we keep tokenizing code as if it were human language? I would expect someone's fixing their tokenizer to densify existing code patterns for upcoming training runs (and make them

Just expanding on the above sentence “utilities don’t do that”. Which is why depending on Nvidia isn’t like depending on electricity.

Utilities and insurance companies are two examples of business regulated to not charge the maximum, for public policy reasons.

Ah, so "our" company is referring to "me and Claude"? Actually. Claude might be a pretty good co-founder. Half the job is therapy conversations anyway. :)

Sometimes this sort of thing is not a bad idea. If it's a simple data structure that doesn't change very often, you get an admin interface (vi), change tracking, and audit trail for free. Just think of it as configuration rather t

This is sort of a whole product , but it’s hardly managing the whole company . Financials? HR? Contracts? Pictures of the last team meeting? It just looks like a normal frontend+backend product monorepo, with the only somewhat unusual in

In other news, billions of dollars later Claude still can’t export, save, or print a chat in any usable form.

To be clear, this email isn't from Anthropic, it's from "AI Village" [0], which seems to be a bunch of agents run by a 501(c)3 called Sage that are apparently allowed to run amok and send random emails. At this moment, t

If they didn’t have a negative response, it wouldn’t be tolerance, by definition. Tolerance means engaging with something you have a negative response to.

I agree “literally” was too strong, but you’ve implemented the core idea of GTD inbox, which is to have a place to put stuff you don’t want to do right now, plus the confidence that you’ll look there later (which is what lets you forget abo

The author said they didn’t like Getting Things Done, then they almost literally reinvented Getting Things Done! Funny how sometimes an idea doesn’t click until you re-express it in your own words.

I’m talking about the people who were doing ML work before it was trendy. That’s why I said “dead end”.

I have some success by trying to explain something to an LLM, having it correct me with its own explanation that isn’t quite right either, correcting it with a revised explanation, round and round until I think I get it. Sort of the Feynman

I mean, think of all the people getting paid eight-digit compensation right now because they were curious about this dead-end deep learning stuff 15 years ago for no good reason!

There’s a company called driver.ai whose idea is to parse your codebase and provide the “map” (navigation of code structure and connectivity) to LLMs. (I haven’t tried it.)

That's great! I am also having a blast, and trying hard to take advantage of the new capability while not turning into the programmer equivalent of the passengers of the BNL Axiom. We aren't the intended audience for this post.

Actually kind of worse: adopt and become irrelevant.

AI makes you not be a programmer (at least, that seems to be the goal). So it’s a little different from those. It’s like a carpenter talking about IKEA saying “I remember when I got an electric sander, it’s the same thing”.
