I've never been someone to tell others to rewrite in Rust but I am a huge fan of the language and have in fact rewritten a lot of things in Rust. I'd be happy for another programming language to excite me as much as Rust has for t

It’s far from a perfect analogy but I would imagine that people were pretty hyped about the novelty of the first legitimately useful compiled programs where they didn’t have to allocate their own registers. I wonder how long it took for tha

I’d be very curious to hear what an online restart approach for sketchy extensions crashing a shared thread per connection process might look like. This is more a question for the author of the project but I’m curious if they have plans in

I’m not very familiar with the specifics of pass through but IIUC only being able to map 1.5gb of active DMA buffers at a time is pretty limiting.

I feel similarly but IIUC I think that doesn’t strictly require an open source development model. I’ve benefited a huge amount from consuming and contributing to open source projects and I’m a bit worried that the “unit economics” changing

I read the Hyperion books during a particularly intense period of my life and found them quite powerful. I didn’t know anything about Simmons at the time, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that like Tolkein these stories started with a

> any [] property can be [taken by the state] from its [original] owners simply by [those owners becoming more powerful than the state wants] When rephrased like the above, I think what you’re describing is pretty common in history. Many

I’m not sure I see that assumption in the statement above. The fact that no prompt or alignment work is a perfect safeguard doesn’t change who is responsible for the outcomes. LLMs can’t be held accountable, so it’s the human who deploys th

FWIW I understood GP to mean that it suddenly makes sense to them, not that there’s been a sudden focus shift at google.

This has mostly been my experience as well although I don’t tend to run yolo mode outside of an isolated VM (I’m setting them up manually still, need to try vagrant for it). That said, it seems like some of the people who are more concerned

Anyone who finds this relatable (like me) might benefit from learning more about the last couple of decades of research on emotional regulation, trauma, and the nervous system. I have a great “trauma informed” therapist and over time this t

I understand that I have a bias, which is why I was disclosing it. I think it strengthens my question since naively I'd expect a self-professed zealot to buy into the narrative in the blog post without questioning the data.

I find a lot of these points persuasive (and I’m a big Rust fan so I haven’t spent much time with Zig myself because of the memory safety point), but I’m a little skeptical about the bug report analysis. I could buy the argument that Zig is

Might be worth noting that npm didn’t have lock files for quite a long time, which is the era during which I formed my mental model of npm hell. The popularity of yarn (again importing bundled/cargo-isms) seems like maybe the main reas

I tend to agree but there are a few scenarios where I really want it to work. Debuggers in particular seem hard to get right for the current agents. I’ve not been able to get the various MCP servers I’ve tried to work, I’ve struck out using

Not GP but 2CB and psilocybin were never very visual for me compared with LSD in my tripping days. I have aphantasia and the only chemical to give me full eyes open visuals was DMT. Mescaline was a very distant second.

This matches my experience and I was quite surprised to find out other aphantasiacs have their “minds eye open” when tripping. For me psychedelics only ever produced a fractal overlay on top of what I was already seeing. I wondered for a lo

FWIW this closely matches my experience. I’m pretty late to the AI hype train but my opinion changed specifically because of using combinations of models & tools that released right before the cut off date for the data here. My impressi

This was an interesting read since it's unlike any conversation I've had with the current bots, I haven't done a lot of exploratory probing of conversations I wouldn't have otherwise had with a person. That said, I'

Maybe I’m just falling victim to my own cognitive biases (and/or financial incentives as a Google employee), but I get the closest to that experience among the frontier labs’ chat interfaces when I chat with Gemini.

I chuckled and upvoted but I think it might be more subtle. It’s best to avoid negation with humans if possible too, but we are also way better at following negative examples than an LLM. I suspect it might have something to do with emotion

This also matches my (not a lawyer) intuition, but have there been any legal precedents set in this direction yet?

FWIW at least with Claude and Jules on a project I have a decent setup where I put all of the real content in an agents.md and then use “@agents.md” in CLAUDE.md. If all of the tools supported these kinds of context references in markdown i
