If you say you wrote it, I'll read it. I commit to this. We can all throw questions like this at our LLMs, and the objections you'll see here revolve around having our time wasted by folks who believe their LLM output…
Specs-as-history is rapidly becoming an antipattern as teams actually try to scale SDD. We're already putting guardrails in agents.md (non-normative in all caps), some teams are actually offboarding them - to Rally…
One thing I've noticed is a lot more HF assets require personal information collection to download. Not sure if that's new corporate compliance or an attempt to manage bandwidth (or a marketing channel).
Why don't we just regulate software? Would accomplish the same end. And it's the same thing, at the end of the day.
Given this is obvious to mere mortals like us, how do economists defend the walmartization of every market? "It's working, don't fckit up", or "we're getting our bag, get yours"? There isn't one adult who looks at this…
My experience matches your claim, but I've seen others recently claim cli use (shelled out from another harness though) showing clear extra-data billing. And I'm fairly sure Anthropic did implement that though, at least…
It supports json/jsonl output and verbose command/subcommand help; there's a lot of churn in "how do I create clis for AX" right now, I don't know if you can point to what's good or bad beyond "machine/digestible and…
As much as I would love to make the most of these tools, I am not confident that yielding control of my personal data won't hurt me - and this seems like table-stakes, based on the type of value everyone is getting from…
"Attackers compromised 3 unique developer github credentials" is a little scary; this seems systemic - if three developers had their keys stolen, it implies the real problem is elsewhere. They revoked all but one…
- A woman using Claude for her diary just had her information used against her. - A nytimes civil suit against OpenAI just had user data handed over to lawyers. - US federal agencies are buying ad marketplace data and…
The problem here is we're going to let the machines dictate the ontology, and we will lose expressiveness by reverting to the mean. All in order to communicate more cheaply with the machines - but on their terms.…
Dig into LinkML; I've been eye-deep in defining an ontology for my life (which I struggle to grasp), and just getting into the tools forced me to learn ... outward. There's so much cool stuff, and now I have a mental…
Cheers. Same. (well, not with mrs frenck- that'd be scandalous!)
This makes the most sense. Meta can guarantee at least that cohort of sites will permit their agents to operate, and all they needed to do was publish a tos update. Some Meta PM is smiling today, in between bites of…
I am so confused. You need to pay a tax to ... watch content of any kind? Like a book tax? Or, is this "people watching broadcast content on devices", or "you'll get YouTube TV for free"?
Pets are OK sometimes! They do need care and feeding, though; some of us don't see that as chores, instead delightful hobbies. I can definitely see the perspective of "there are better things to do", especially if you…
Once you really know your keyboard, it's like an extension of your hands. You can fly through those six terminals, and moving your hand to grab a mouse means stopping whatever you were doing. That wall of text is all…
Not a reply to TT, but I just saw your nick and thought I'd respond. We both commented on a thread recently, and your response was really insightful and just a pleasure to read; I didn't take the opportunity to respond…
1. Entrenched in-company interests create friction by just existing - Ops/Risk/Support/Arch/ProcessEng. Staffing is on the knifes edge, no buffer. And so going fast $here makes you slow $there. 2. Customers expect…
I think there's a type of company for whom this works; a small team really can deliver a massive volume, but it cannot be constrained by your typical software bigco superstructure. Ops/Readiness/Process…
If we released software with the number of defects in the popular coding tools, we'd be out of business before the end of the year. But they persist- for some verticals speed matters over quality.
I can't believe OP here. Where are these software teams, are they in the room with him? My teams are more stressed than ever: leadership doesn't understand why they aren't 5x more productive - even if they were 1.1x…
Same. I've spent 20 years trying tool after tool and finding some part of it unfit, some stupid edge case for my broken brain. I have so much of my own crap now that I'm building new crap to manage the crap. If my…
It's all being built to try and capture the value of creating the new, good software. Aka a cambrian explosion of developer tools - primarily used to create developer tools and twitter attention - so people use your…
In this analogy, a programmer who cannot understand their workload is like a rug QA tester with eyes but not feet; or a safety inspector who doesn't know that the red dye is corrosive to skin, or that corrosiveness is…
