first thing that popped into my mind is that your free plan is crazy generous. cut it out.

This is not just a sovereignty/security/privacy issue. I genuinely believe that ditching Big Tech will produce genuinely better technology for consumers. Once the monopolists lose their network effect advantage, startups should be

No problem, we'll switch to EU/Chinese models in a blink. Just started using Kimi 2.5 a couple days ago and it's almost on par with Opus 4.5.

My theory is that 80% of workloads on AWS/GCP/Azure are pure waste. They sell complexity-as-a-service. 80% of startups and enterprises could run on a single beefy baremetal server (or two). AWS/GCP/Azure are the result o

A goat or a sheep cost roughly the same in gold today as it cost 2000 years ago during the Roman Empire. Gold is the only “real money” in the sense that it is the only stable measure of the value of basic needs over centuries. https:/

I think the point is being able revert to the initial state, and to have a single step between the initial state and final state. It’s hard to rollback a series of tool calls, and your search for a solution continues at every step. With a “

It doesn’t matter if it’s less efficient, what matters is that it has more chances to verify and get it right. It’s hard to rollback a series of tool calls. It’s easier to revert state and rerun a complete piece of code until you get the de

Because the process is reproducible. A series of bash commands are run as tools and forgotten, it’s hard to replicate that for future testing and verification. If the LLM generates a single bash script then that would be code-only.

Geoffrey Huntley uses the analogy of a "pottery wheel" and says "everything is a ralph loop".

What about an agent loop that can only modify itself? Imagine an agent that is a single Python file, where the only tool it has is to modify itself on next iteration.

We don't need to define a legal shape of a container. We can just make deceptive shapes illegal and let a judge/jury define what deceptive means on a case-by-case basis. In fact I don't think any new laws are needed for this,

That example of "shrinkflation" sounds like plain old fraud to me. Having a dimple at the bottom of a peanut butter container so it looks like it has more than it does should be illegal fraud, plain and simple.

Programmers tend to lean two ways: math-oriented or literature-oriented. The math types tend to become FAANG engineers. The literature oriented ones tend to start startups and become product managers and indie game devs and Laravel artisans

We should try posting this on a literary discussion forum and see the responses there. I expect a lot of AI FUD and envy but that’ll be evidence in this tools favor.

This is a software engineering forum. Most of the engineer types here lack the critical education needed to appreciate this sort of thing. I have a literary education and I’m actually shocked at how good most of these threads are.

This is really, really, good. Ignore the commenters in this thread who don’t see the connections. It takes a very high degree of artistic creativity and linguistic imagination to see these types of connections, and many of the “engineer typ

I used plain CSS for more than a decade and felt the benefits of Tailwind within 10 minutes of getting started. What fueled the growth of Tailwind is that it makes web development palpably easier.

I’m been meaning to build something like this myself. Seems like this was designed to be run on a server, however. What if I want to run it locally on a laptop that’s not always on? Does it recover gracefully from restarts and such? Is it a

There is a not so subtle hint in the description that they were mainly inspired by military applications (Air Force, DARPA). Legality doesn’t matter when you’re in enemy territory.
