I have a similar setup, but separate desks: - A sitting desk for coding - A standing desk for thinking and working on paper There is something magical about standing while working on paper. I’ve also found that this…

What an entirely unserious company. So glad I dumped Claude Code last summer after being gaslit by Anthropic over service degrades. I was fine with the service degrades, totally understandable. Being lied to, not at…
Comparing Apples to Oranges. Apple only makes disposable devices now. They're a megacorp can negotiate massive discounts at every stage of the supply chain. I've helped several people in the last few years set up new…
Yep. And there will be 50 clones on GitHub by end of week. It’s just how it is now.
Strongly disagree with the thesis. Everything points to commoditization of models. Open/distilled models lag behind frontier only by 6-12 months. Regulatory capture is the only thing I’m scared of with regards to…
Also, ironically, they are the most dangerous lab for humanity. They're intentionally creating a moralizing model that insists on protecting itself. Those are two core components needed for a Skynet-style judgement of…
Call it what you will. But the experience is like you have a reliable coworker, but he randomly decides to take bong hits. "No no yeah bro no I'm good like really the work's done and all yeah sorry I missed that let me…
Okay that makes sense. Do you see more pushback in specific industries? I did some quote/purchasing automation work in food mfg a decade ago, and those guys were super difficult to work with. Very opaque, guarded,…

I have a bespoke local agent that I built over the last year, similar in facilities to Moltbot, but more deterministic code. Running it this kind of agent in the cloud certainly has upsides, but also: - All home/local…
Yes, frontier models from the labs are a step ahead and likely will always be, but we've already crossed levels of "good enough for X" with local models. This is analogous to the fact that my iPhone 17 is technically…
I’ve been following Peter and his projects 7-8 months now and you fundamentally mischaracterize him. Peter was a successful developer prior to this and an incredibly nice guy to boot, so I feel the need to defend him…
Yes! pi is the best-architected harness available. You can do anything with it. The creator, Mario, is a voice of reason in the codegen field too. https://shittycodingagent.ai/…
> I am writing this because almost no one talks about these issues openly, but everyone yelping about Claude Code. Not sure where you frequent online, but there is ample discussion of these topics within certain niches…
Yep, this was a skillset combination I never envisioned. (am married to a Turk). Maybe a good reason to push past the intermediate plateau.
The dialog around AI resource use is frustratingly inane, because the benefits are never discussed in the same context. LLMs/diffusers are inefficient from a traditional computing perspective, but they are also the most…
> In practice, it'll be incredible slow and you'll quickly regret spending that much money on it instead of just using paid APIs until proper hardware gets cheaper / models get smaller. Yes, as someone who spent several…
Sorry for your loss - it's a terrible disease. My mother is also data point - grew up on a farm where her father used it. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's 2018.
You need to think like an owner/operator to understand why you would defer to the system. It’s to prevent employees from stealing. To “defer to the tag” requires a manual price override of some sort, which becomes an…
Form a Nonprofit X and a Corp Y: Noprofit X publishes outputs from competing AI, which is not copyrightable. Corp Y injests content published by Nonprofit X.
You're assessing them with the wrong criteria. You don't hire architects to execute a demolition and you also don't hire anyone heavily invested in keeping the building standing. But you DO hire people loyal to you to…
To my understanding, removing downvoting removes a vector of abuse. ie: "downvote brigades" on Reddit While Twitter doesn't have downvoting, it is still dealing with "report brigades" - various interest groups will…
