Indeed, this is a much more realistic and useful framing of what to do with the current capabilities of LLMs. They work so fast, at such a high level, that you can speedrun the co-evolution process and end up with a spec and code that works

Are you not counting the SAVE Act as an “initiative”? Even if it doesn’t pass, it’s certainly keeping the idea of election uncertainty front and center going into the midterms. Which gives cover to the local officials who have been inserted

My main point was not about the implementation stage, but the verification stage. Letting the smarter agent verify the work of the cheap agent finds a lot of little oversights and sloppiness that I used to have to find myself. So I’d be i

It wasn’t clear to me (and still isn’t, after slogging through the inhuman article again) that the verification here is done by a separate agent from the implementation. That’s a second trimming step, but in reverse: at that point you wa

This just sounds like the standard playbook for this crowd (by which wide brush I mean authoritarians and their enablers). They really hate being called on their lies, and their immediate response is to attack with whatever comes to hand

Then you would expect the implementation to be structured the same as SQLite, and having glanced at the result, it looks like at least some things aren't. For example, it seems to use an operator-tree executor rather than SQLite's

Lately I'm trying a variation on this: Have the main agent make a phased implementation plan, then for each phase, have it start an implementation subagent with a focused prompt, then review that agent's work in the main session.

To be precise, he thinks they're anti-authoritarian, for which "terrorist" is the long-established authoritarian code word.

Assuming this description is accurate, if they were all like this then none of them should have won. They should have all been disqualified and the organizers should have looked at themselves in a mirror for a long time.

Exactly as well as C does, it seems. func newPerson() *Person { p := Person{Name: "Alice", Age: 30} return &p } becomes static main_Person* newPerson(void) { main_Person p = (main_Per

In my experience, mathematicians are attracted by over-simplified/lightweight versions of programming. I think "just tell me what I need to do my job" is a universal human principle.

OK yeah, that does sound fine once you say it, but since the only stated rule is “one more letter”, I don’t think it’s obvious enough.

It seems to disallow valid words made with the same letters, which doesn't feel fair. (I don't want to spoil an answer, but -- especially when the word it insists on is arguably French!)

This was Chase, in WA. Part of the problem may be that I used an address on the account application that didn't match the one on the state company registration. Rather than let me update the application, they required that I update the

Everyone suffers from this, not just the scam victims. I opened a bank account for a new business this year, and the friction for doing perfectly normal things was ridiculous due to the bank’s paranoia about scams. I couldn’t even make an i

Yeah, that’s not sustainable. Presumably they’ll come up with a guardrail (followed by an exploit, followed by another guardrail, repeat forever…).

Claude Code and Opus 4.8 love to describe changes in comments (perhaps because that’s what’s on its “mind” at the time), like “this used to do A but that did a bad thing so now it does B”. I’ve almost convinced it that changes go in the

Some of this post reminds me of a story I heard long ago from someone who had worked at a HW/SW company. They’d transferred an engineer from the ASIC design team to the OS kernel team, though he’d never been on a software team before.

I’m curious if you compared this against Ableton’s “Tempo Follower” and had any algorithmic (or subjective) observations.
