I agree but I think its also more nuanced. I am also happy to use AI to operate at a higher level faster. I think that is somewhere in between. For instance, maybe I have some specific ideas and architecture I want to…
My main thought is would this allow me to speed up prompt process for large MoE models? That is the real bottleneck for m3ultra. The tokens per second is pretty good.
I think it's more granular than this, though. I also like to "make computer do thing" and have enjoyed using AI. But I also like building systems, optimizing systems. I find AI is a great partner in that. I can churn…
I think we really need to have a serious think of what is "good quality" in the age of coding agents. A lot of the effort we put into maintaining quality has to do with maintainability, readability etc. But is it…
I recently built something in the same universe - using ffmpeg to receive streams from obs to capture audio and video - don't want to get into details beyond except to say it involved a fairly involved pipeline of ray…
You need to be in plan mode. Not only can it not change code, its interaction with you is quite different. It will surface issues and ask you for choices.
One of the ways the chinese companies are keeping up is by training the models on the outputs of the American fronteir models. I'm not saying they don't innovate in other ways, but this is part of how they caught up…
I think this is a pretty solid analogy but I look at the metaphor this way - people used to get strong naturally because they had to do physical labor. Because we invented things like the forklift we had to invent…
if you are doing equity statarb, its all low touch strategies, so yes the quants 'trade' in that they can write the strategies. The traders in that environment are more like support, usually.
I think this makes sense but I wonder if firecracker would work better than vagrant for this? I haven't used it before, though. I guess it might if you are trying to run gas town level orchestration.
Personally, I have been using beads for a few days on a couple of projects. I also like https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/beads_viewer which is a nice tui for beads (with some additional workflow i haven't tried). I…
The skills that matter most to me are the ones I create myself (with the skill creator skill) that are very specific and proprietary. For instance, a skill on how to write a service in my back-testing framework. I do…
I think that is both pretty true but massively underrated in how much faster you can solve the problems you know how to solve. I do also help it finds helps me more quickly learn how to solve new problems, but I must…
I actually think the social media factor is the biggest reason...we can now compare ourselves to a much, much large circle which makes our relative standing seem much worse. I think relative standing affects our…
We are all going to need to have personal passwords/safe words we don't reveal to untrusted parties for authentication. Or maybe personal retinal scanners? I think personal auth might be an interesting startup to get…
So far I am in the skeptic camp on this. I don't see it adding a lot of value to my current claude code workflow which already includes specialized agents and a custom mcp to search indexed mkdocs sites that effectively…
The thing is that I don't use AI to replace things I can do deterministically with code. I use it to replace things I cannot do deterministically with code - often something I would have a person do. People are also…
Demand is a function of price. At any given price there is a quantity demanded. To know the price you also need to know the supply function. There is a demand for socks but if no one is will to supply socks for less a…
I also feel like what gets lost in this is not everything you are building is a bite size feature in large existing project. Sometimes you are adding an entire subsystem that is large to something relatively greenfield.…
I never tell anyone they have to use AI tools. You do you. In a few years we will see who is better off.
I don't know exactly where AI is going to go, but the fact that I keep seeing this one study of programmer productivity, with like 16 people with limited experience with cursor,uncritically quoted over and over assures…
Clarifying can help but ultimately it was trained on older versions. When you are working with a changing api, it's really important that the llm can see examples of the new api and new api docs. Adding context7 as a…
Somewhat, though CQRS might advocate for separate read and write models. It might be something like the writer publishes an event that is consumed by something that updates the read model and queries go directly to the…
I think that is a good question and we don't really know yet. I think we are going to have to overhaul a lot of how we educate people. Even if all AI progress stops today, there is still a massive shift in how many…
I think it's doing the same for me but tbh, I am ok with that and not trying to fix it. I do not want to go back to the world before claude could knock out all of the tedious parts of programming.
