There's definitely appeal in key-driven window managers in general. Projects like i3 and Niri are popular. But you can get that with any Linux distro (albeit not many have it set up that way by default). You don't…
As someone who uses Signal and WhatsApp, I would be extremely happy if those companies blocked access in my jurisdiction if such laws are implemented. In fact, if they agreed to insert backdoor access I would never…
With all the current concerns about rogue and mis-aligned AI, and about how we've made essentially zero progress on making sure that AI is safe and trustworthy, NOW you want to put backdoors in encryption algorithms? We…
I do something similar. I have a base NixOS image in Incus, with whatever tools apply to every project (e.g. Git, OpenCode) already installed. When I work on a project, I spin up a VM instance, use nix shell to add any…

There's a lot of middle ground between doom-scrolling type content and a 10 hour block of non-stop immersion. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
Many factories in China now already have 90% of their work being done by robots. Is it really so hard to imagine that we reach a point where they can be prompted?
You're assuming a handover happens in a single definable moment. More realistically it will be one small decision making power at a time, so that at any given moment it never really feels like control is being given up.…

Doesn't matter if you aren't asking the type of questions where hallucinations are relevant e.g. you're seeking pure reasoning rather than factual information.

You want both. The harness and the sandbox do different things. The harness says "You have access to tool X, Y, and Z, but not A, B, C". The sandbox says "If you try to use X to access a forbidden resource, I'll prevent…

I think this is the only sensible way to work with agents, if you care about code quality and reliability but still want the benefits of AI. There seem to be three camps that people more or less fall into: (a) AI is…
You've selectively quoted the article. The full quote (emphasis added): "When Moore’s Law slowed in the mid-2000s (specifically, single-threaded performance stagnated), we suddenly had to think about parallelization,…
In my case, it's not so much that I find it childish, it's that I find it incredibly distracting which means I can't focus as easily on the content. Instead of "oh, now I understand how that equation works" I catch…
I don't think you can make blanket statements. Consider: 1. Teacher 1 speaks at 100 words per minute. 2. Teacher 2 speaks at 50 words per minute, for the exact same content as Teacher 1. You're not really losing…

I disagree with this. Unlike training models (which requires huge compute), harness development is available to anyone with an editor and ideas. That means that solo devs and small startups can still make meaningful…
I've not tried it myself, but I consistently hear good things about Math Academy. It uses a knowledge graph so that it knows whether you've satisfied prerequisites for a topic, and it adapts itself to your level. I've…
There's a difference between pacing (good), and repetitive speech (bad). Between pacing and repetitive speech.
Side note, but much as I like Khan Academy overall, I've always struggled with Sal's slow and repetitive speaking style in the videos. "Now you add the five ... [pause] ... add the five ... add the five to the seven ...…
I find it difficult to understand people who are wildly skeptical about LLMs leading to AGI (assuming we can even agree on what that means). Consider: - They can already reason better than many humans and are still…
