This mechanism is going to be the breaking point for Claude and Codex. The providers are incentivized to get users to accept full permissions so they can push more features and deeper integration into their ecosystem. Codex desktop for exam

I've noticed that out of all LLMs I've ever used that Fable is the MOST LLM; the text it produces is abomination. It's impressive how much I hate it. It is such an awful writer - it assumes the reader has zero context and the

Yeah but like, tests encode behavior… sometimes I go all day without running a test. Sometimes multiple days. I’ve been using unit tests less and debug asserts more and more now days anyways. Encoding behavior as close the relevant code as

I interviewed with them and had a great experience despite it ultimately not being a good fit due to communication issues and a bad flu coming on in the final interview - they, and Michael especially, was very kind and understanding.

Anyone can have bad security. No one cares. But you can convince those who don’t know better that breaking bad security with an LLM is a once in a civilization investing opportunity. You just need to convince a handful of billionaires and m

I recently built a usb hub. I got a box, some usb cables that have a female end and are fitted to mate to the box. If you are curious, it’s a box made for pro-audio equipment with precut holes. The holes are made for xlr ports, and the usb

Look, if you can’t take the time to communicate with me, I won’t waste my time listening to you. Writing is not hard. It’s a fundamental skill. Even before LLMs, any successful professional had strong writing skills, and those that didn’t w

LLMs literally are incapable of writing in the way humans are. Generating a string of tokens is a completely different task than composing prose be it fiction, documentation, or product releases. It would take an insane harness on the par o

Like set an generic marker struct IsEncrypted<T> where T is yes or now and only allow its state to change when proven and then write the shutdown function to only take the yes variant?

Meh, the amount of effort required to keep up to date with the python ecosystem churn is around the same as learning rust. More so if you are starting from scratch. I quit python after realizing the amount of effort it required to just impl

I rewatched it recently and it’s still such a good movie. I’ll always remember the outrage I felt when they go to the hospital when her father needs heart surgery and they have to pretend not to know the hospital director because he was pre

NYT is doing great though. It’s actually doing so well it’s in danger of becoming a monopoly.

I don’t think that will ever be possible. Remember that every other news source is mostly just sourcing content from those legacy media outlets stories. So if they offered it as an open API or one that was easy to scrape, they’d be killing

Bro, they make 99% of the revenue providing internet connection where markets and governments have failed to provide good options. A trillion dollar valuation competing with the commodity cost of running fiber. Supporting off-grid internet

The internet’s reaction to Tron 3 was a breaking point for me: either the internet is full of karma farming bots or people really are just stupid, small creatures, incapable of thinking for themselves. It’s not a great movie. It’s a kids&#x

The point of software is to encode human will into machine communicable state. The entire complaint here is that automating this risks that was is encoded is not what you want.

I don’t care about gen AI video content. That’s fine. Saves creators from having to buy b-roll. I appreciate cinematography, but it’s not what I come to YouTube for. What I absolutely loathe and instantly block is AI narration. That’s an in

It doesn’t have to be this way. It’s a by product of tax policies and lax anti-monopoly policies that allows incompetence to thrive. If a company gets too big to fail, then it stops calibrating for competency. The most effective military le

1.5s for a massive project, on a laptop,like the OP said is still barely anything in the context of agentic coding. It’s less than a single percentage point of the total time in the loop, even if the agent has to compile multiple times. Thi

The detailed compiler errors and strong type system makes the change -> compile -> change loop simple for agents to handle. Rust provides very strong rails it forces users on to. Codex always manages to get something to compile. The d

10x slower is like an extra second, if that, for compilation times for the sizes of changes an agent like codex makes.

There is good reasons to break out projects into multiple crates. It makes reusing functionality elsewhere easier. It makes it easier to reason about behavior. It makes it easier for LLMs to understand (either working within the crate or co
