Sequential tasks are still sequential. The difference is one engineer can you work on many sequential tasks in parallel. The old way of working where an engineer picks up a ticket and works it through to completion…
Coming back to Nix (and Linux in general) this year has been an absolute pleasure. Not because it's suddenly got better, but because the learning curve has collapsed to a flat line. My problem with linux has always been…
Actually laughed out loud at the idea of a bunch of stereotypical programmers going to a dance class
> we will have a list of problem AI has not been able to solve, with even bigger reputational reward for humans we will have a list of problems that AI has not been able to solve _yet_ anyone who attempts to solve it…
The counterpoint of course is that he has demonstrated a consistent ability to build and run successful businesses, many of which are extremely high risk The only new western car company in decades to not fail, based on…
You see this in political discourse all the time There are lots of smart people on all "sides" of the political spectrum, but in online forums (especially Reddit in my experience) people on dismiss the other side as…
LLMs are quite good these days at not being fooled by adversarial prompting, especially basics like this But yeah it'll never be perfect. I imagine the grok bot will trigger an agentic pipeline which will have multiple…
7 engineers is hardly a massive resource allocation. Even if they produce nothing of value the lessons learned along the way will be valuable - They're essentially dogfooding agentic swarm development which will help…
Your post above describes the value. All the annoying restrictions and UI/UX decisions made by SaaS providers that don't work for you. The value is being able to essentially wish into existence your ideal tooling,…
What are we if not a system of sensors directing our muscles towards nutrients and reproduction
LLM generated websites are so instantly recognisable Vibe coded tools are great. I have loads of them to work for my workflows. AI makes it almost free to make your own tools. Almost none of them are worth sharing or…
You can spend a week crafting the most optimal query possible, making sure the plans are perfect and all the best index types are used And then you push it to production and get completely different results Statistics…
Yeah the news for me here is that people thought nature could "bounce back" on a human timescale. Any human lifespan is just the blink of an eye to nature
I finally gave in to the rust hype and built a new project in it (or my agent fleet did). Almost instant regret. My poor machine with just 2TB HDD and 24 cores was almost immediately crippled by agents each working in…
There is an absolutely massive tech community on Twitter and its by far the place to get real time updates on tech news (yes - better than HN). It isn't all a far right cess pit and that is easy to avoid by just using…
You've just given them a 50% discount
It's literally made from the same steel so yeah cybertruck in space vibes Cybertruck seems like a pretty good electric truck though if you're into that kind of styling, if you can find the signal in the noise of biased…
If people didn't try things just because they were hard we'd all be ploughing fields right now
Yes. The Starship program is pushing the limits of engineering, if it fails today it doesn't make it unimpressive I'd also consider the attempts at fusion energy to be very impressive engineering projects even though…
To be fair there's probably a considerable amount of engineering that went into evaluating those markdown files so the agent behaviour is statistically reliable. The markdown is the product, not the process
2 reasons why we don't start with animals 1. it's not consciousness we really value, it's intelligence 2. LLMs are not tasty
This author seems a tad obsessed. 15 times they threw the word fascist around. DHH certainly has some controversial views that many (including myself) find distasteful, but the idea that he will use his funding to…
And I read it by asking an LLM to summarise it
It's a bit 2025. Needs a scroll hijack background animation and cursor effects to be up to date for 2026
Without knowing what makes consciousness possible, the paper cannot justify biology as necessary - it mistakes a lack of evidence for conscious AI for proof that conscious AI is impossible. I do not believe current AI…
