I don't think a lot of what you are citing is true or valid - but for the sake of argument, everything valid that you are expressing can be and should be put into terms that don't relate specifically to Anthropic. The government j

i'm missing something basic here .... what does it actually do? It executes a prompt against a git repository. Fine - but then what? Where does the output go? How does it actually persist whatever the outcome of this prompt is? Is this

I think the whole entire point of this is they shouldn't be excluding Anthropic as an entity, they should be excluding all suppliers on equal terms on the basis of whether they satisfy requirements or not. If it is a requirement that t

Even though I'm firmly in the familiarity camp, I love this description of what it's like to be fully lisp-pilled. I definitely want to try it out one day.

Seems like it's going to be a tough sell to get people to want to write (tc/select-rows ds #(> (% "year") 2008)) instead of filter(ds, year > 2008) They seem to ignore the existance of Spark, so e

To me the biggest issue is keeping it all up to date. For that reason I've completely shifted to text-to-diagram tools like PlantUML / Mermaid. As imperfect as they are, they mean you can insist the diagrams are updated in the sam

String concatenation in a loop is a 1990's era Java footgun. It's interesting the things that have persisted vs been cast aside. Very significant design decisions have been enforced on far less grounds than the stupidity of how th

It probably sounds like a nitty gritty detail here but who is enforcing the 24 hours and how are they enforcing it? Because if that "enforcement" is Google then they are still engineering a situation where they hold the keys to th

And when the PR you never even read because the AI wrote it gets bounced back you with an obscure question 13 days later ..... you're not going to be well positioned to respond to that.

This is the fundamental issue currently in my situation with AI code generation. There are some strategies that help: a lot of the AI directives need to go towards making the code actually easy to review. A lot of it it sits around clarity,

sure - but the model hasn't changed. I'm specifying it explicitly. But suddenly the context window has. I'm not using Claude Code, this is an application built against Bedrock APIs. I assume there's a way I could be spec

Noticed this just now - all of a sudden i have 1M context window (!!!) without changing anything. It's actually slightly disturbing because this IS a behavior change. Don't get me wrong, I like having longer context but we really

Even if all I have to do is tell my agent, "here is a patent for a drug, analyse the patent and determine an equivalent but non-infringing drug" and it chugs away for a couple of hours and spits out a drug along with all the speci

The really interesting question to me is if this transcends copyright and unravels the whole concept of intellectual property. Because all of it is premised on an assumption that creativity is "hard". But LLMs are not just writing

Every post from this two day old account starts with about 8 words and then an em-dash. And it happens to self-identify a startup building infra for OpenClaw.

in a pure sense no, it's probably not solvable completely. But in a practical sense, yes, I think it's solvable enough to support broad use cases of significant value. The most unsolvable part is prompt injection. For that you nee

This is great to see. I honestly think that sandboxing is currently THE major challenge that needs to be solved for the tech to fully realise its potential. Yes the early adopters will YOLO it and run agents natively. It won't fly at a

I don't think there's a lot magical about files beyond (a) they are native for LLMs and coding because they both process text and (b)when things are rapidly in flux, unstructured formats prosper because flexibility is king. Litera

Yes I'm not recommending "glorified autocomplete". Just shortening the cycle. Give it tasks that would involve maybe a couple of hundred lines of code at a time. I find this captures both the rewarding aspects and gets a lot

The vector API is really interesting but so frustrating that it has taken so long to materialise. The inability of Java to properly utilise parallel compute - whether it's SIMD or GPU - has been a huge factor in dealing it out of being
