Just don't expect to do any work on hardware/firmware you own with fable, I can hardly even type in the word "firmware" without it downgrading to Opus 4.8, which is totally unsatisfying. This even happens with Opus 5. De

After living and working in China 10yrs and fundamentally experiencing the growth rate and culture, it's been a bit horrifying to watch the Western world consistently decide withholding tech from China and giving them no other option b

Building something useful in a circuit design using off-the-shelf ICs and components doesn't require a very deep understanding of the theoretical basis for why it works. There's really no need to be gated by thinking that overly c

I subscribed to the economist from ~2008 for 10+ years before I cancelled. I'm mostly a centrist but admit to leaning libertarian these days, I think both sides do not represent "democracy" anymore, I do not trust the Democra

This is cool! Shameless plug, I started bomquote.com 15+ years ago with the thesis "everything is a BOM". We provide design firms & hardware teams design-to-MFG services including line item quotes for their entire BOM. Hard to

The article strikes me as quite uncharitable to characterize it as "a lie". I doubt this CEO just sat down and calculated he was going to write lies. While it's fine to call out he's wrong per his own fuller data set, it

Legal immigration was already hard. Just went through that green card process with my wife from China, glad we already got it done. But, even before Trump admin 2nd term, it's been difficult. Further, even my wife has the green card, m

Code needs tested. I'm glad that the bar of entry has been lowered but now we just have a huge amount of people that haven't yet learned anything about how to test and verify that the code meets the expected requirements.

No, instead of normalizing that if you are passionate enough about some cause, it's okay to imprison other humans against their own will. Instead, it devolves to people realizing that it doesn't matter how passionate you are abou

If someone puts their hands on me to physically restrain or impede me from moving where I need to go, especially while acting in a threating intimidating manner, yes I fully believe I have a right to shoot or stab them or run over them with

Surrounding a vehicle purposely impeding their exit path is by itself enough for me to generally side with the person being impeded. Further, if it also includes harassing and intimidating them, I refuse to agree that this behavior is accep

It's a lot to review since adding the AI workflows, but bottom line is I'm not in a race, I've been working on the same repo since 2019 and I generally don't add too much at once and just take my time. But, I'll adm

I have max plans for both and over the past 5+ months now have built a custom "agent swarm" orchestrator with a database backed API and several skills CLI that the agents use to deliver orchestrated software factory runs. We can u

I also had some unexplained extra usage which ended up using 236 dollars. I pretty much just shrugged it off since they had comped me 200 dollars of it and then just toggled extra usage off.

I've spent the past 4+ months building an internal multi-agent orchestrator for coding teams. Agents communicate through a coordination protocol we built, and all inter-agent messages plus runtime metrics are logged to a database. Our

I primarily "only" use it as a run-manager that can spin up another agent in a tmux which I can then join by ssh on my cell phone. Then, I can monitor the work from my cell phone and choose to either directly interact with the tmu

I'm 50 years old, and I don't follow the logic here? Using Claude Code or any AI agent for coding is 100% opt-in. How can something that is 100% opt in kill your passion? Just continue not using it. That's a pretty simple sol

I've been working on a large codebase that was already significant before LLM-assisted programming, leveraging code I’d written over a decade ago. Since integrating Claude and Codex, the system has evolved and grown massively. Realisti

Yes, the LLM can write it. No, the LLM cannot architect a complex system and weave it all together into a functioning, workable, tested system. I have a 400 table schema networked together with relationships, backrefs, services, well tested

AI agents are remarkably capable. But they keep breaking things because they lack consequence awareness. Impact Intelligence closes the gap.

You are absolutely right that I probably still "don't" get it, I am still shocking myself on a daily basis with all the stuff I didn't fully get grasp ahold of. I recently updated claude code and yesterday had one agent
