Author here. Anthropic shipped Artifacts in Claude Code this week — agent-built HTML pages you share with your team. Surface is a small, open take on a similar idea, but two-way: the agent stands up the page, watches it, and reacts to what

It's amusing to think that the endgame is that the humans in the loop are parents with credit cards. I suppose you could never be sure that an agent would explicitly follow your instruction "Don't spend more than $5". Bu

Do you think this'll eventually be trained into the models the way that chain-of-thought has been?

As a reader of Simon's work, I can speculate an answer here. All "designing agentic loops" is context engineering, but not all context engineering is designing agentic loops. He's specifically talking about instructing t

Maybe this is their long term plan for getting rid of the camera bump.

It's very difficult to get debt financing if you're running out of cash, and this article is focused on companies that are (at risk of) running out of cash.

Much of this story was published in Proof of Conspiracy in 2019, curated from major media reporting. The media just didn't cover the release at the time.

This can be difficult because the money is often funneled through other entities (as LPs to VC and growth funds, etc.) I've had more than one VC tell me they couldn't guarantee that there was no Saudi money in their fund, even tho

If I were looking for work, I would consider it.

Sure, I won't argue that. But it's another useful filter for me.

Ha, yes, the intent is that it would be an open and stated part of the hiring process. There's no reason to surprise people with the question. I'd rather let candidates self-select them out, as much for this question as for any ot

I'm not sure that I share the assumptions here about the distribution of talent throughout the American voting population, in particular given that the venn diagram of the tech hiring pool and the American voting population is not a ci

I understand that perspective, but it doesn't affect my position. I'm free to choose who I work for, and I wouldn't choose to work for someone who found the question disqualifying. I get to define my own utility function.

It would be a strange question, depending on the scenario. You can imagine I probably don’t anticipate being in interviews where I’m asking that of somebody who isn’t the primary executive. (In other words, I wouldn’t want to work under som

That’s totally reasonable. And there are companies that have publicly taken positions that align with this. It wasn’t clear in my comment, but I’m not presenting this from a middle management perspective. I wouldn’t arbitrarily be adding ne

It may not have been clear from my comment, but it’s not an emotional benefit for me. And I don’t agree that it’s necessarily a net negative for the company. There are a lot of factors that impact a company’s overall performance.

As pointed out below, there are some states where politics are protected. I looked it up because I do plan to use that information in hiring decisions going forward. I wouldn't surprised if I get downvoted for this, but I intend to ask

I've been living in vd for the last few months for data analysis. It's been beyond helpful, including for examining ugly nested JSON data. It's been extremely valuable for feature exploration in my dataset.

I loved Whitefish when I was there, and would have considered it for the long term but was concerned about reports of a growing alt-right contingent in town. Have you encountered that?

Even if you have a terrible experience in your doctoral program, much of its outward value is in the program's reputation. Giving a program a negative review hurts the perceived value of your own education.

This sounds perfect for my burning man camp. Now we won't have to sit at the pepper mill debating how to split things fairly.

Your response is flawed. Not wearing a mask is not an essential liberty. And yes, if large numbers of Americans don't wear masks, that will kill more people than would die if we all wore our masks. It's not theater.

It's also reminiscent of the installation in Seattle, A Sound Garden, after which the band is named. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Z2fqxkdvk

I lived in New York for a good chunk of Foursquare's life, and while it was magical, at least half of the population hated the concept, for good reason. Every woman I knew who had used it was terrified by the privacy and safety risks e

I've had this debate with my academic advisor at CMU. I'd take a trained speaker–even an actor who doesn't actually know the material he/she's describing–as a primary lecturer any day, as long as I get access to som
