If you’ve been in the software game long enough then you can recount days or weeks tracking down a particularly tricky bug that was resolved by a single line of code. That’s because software engineering is not about the amount of code you w

It seems like AGI until it does something that leaves you scratching your head. Getting a simple thing wrong.

Double precision cell chips were reserved for military, I think (or maybe also blade processors). So doing any serious physics on them was dead in the water - same with macs tbh

> doing Typescript type fixes with this model across 50 files cost me $54 this afternoon. Not trying to be harsh, but that sounds like a skill issue. You have the language server to lean on; easy feedback loop; sub agent per type.

A fascinating insight into the architecture of modern cpus from an entrepreneurial angle. Bravo!

I wonder if we could gamify and democratise it somehow, like fold-at-home and wikipedia... I've been training a teeny specialised model to run in a browser on a phone to detect harmonium notes played in a song (harmonium turns out is a

Because of AI or because hackers are hyper targeting infra clusters?

I’ve been wondering about potential regression in coding models. The initial models were corrected by programmers which gave a very high quality feedback signal. Whereas with vibe coding on the rise, you’ll lose that signal.

Vercel auto creates deployments on pushes to branches. That was a super useful feature in beta testing web stuff.

didn't know datomic was free of licensing fees - I didn't use it back in the day because the cost was prohibitive... interesting

I vibed up a chrome extension that sets a timer, hides shorts, redirects home to subscriptions, and hides comments and recommendations. It’s all toggleable so I don’t disable the extension when I do want some neuronal junk food. But just th

I think it was $1000 too expensive to take off. It’s also too heavy, they should drop the front screen and ruthlessly save weight. Chicken and egg problem, if no-one buys it, no-one will develop any killer apps. Whether it’s pleasant to hav

Guess you’ve sorted it but it might be in the session memory in your root folder. I’ve recovered some things this way.

I think that metal isn’t double precision; so that limits some serious physics simming; but if you’re doing that I guess you just rent a gpu somewhere. I would definitely be into this if adding an egpu was first class supported.

Branching conversations are great for a whole bunch of reasons. I posted a demo of a prototype: https://x.com/ajdegol/status/1788689011302682657 And Jake Collins just announced he’s open sourcing an obsidian plugi

Wasn't the answer 42? Also, first question to the new model: "So... any way we could do this with fewer parameters?"

Occasionally you meet people who shock you with how talented they are. I watched a couple of his presentations and he immediately reminded me of some of those people I’ve met before.
