I built a terminal app for myself that conflates worktrees & tabs, runs every pane through a terminal multiplexer, lets me join in from my phone and generally makes me happy. https://github.com/btucker/graftty

You can find the 4 versions of Benedict's deck here: https://www.ben-evans.com/presentations I appreciate the temporal view into this thinking. My interpretation: Nov 2024: Don’t dismiss this; it may be the next platfo

This has increasingly been my take. If we accept that AI is an amplifier of impact, then it follows it will amplify disparities.

One of my most humbling experiences was entering a puzzle hunt at CMU in the mid 2000s with early undergrad friends. We completely flailed. I still remember watching other groups out the window running around the campus while it took us mos

I hacked this together last fall to let you use Apple Foundation Models with llm: https://github.com/btucker/llm-apple . To enable that I built python bindings with Claude Code: https://github.com/btuck

It's not necessarily an AI-generated infographics issue, it's that these aren't good infographics. The graphic part is adding minimal value.

I am convinced they’ve done research that says they would sell a meaningfully smaller number of units if they added this feature. Sigh…

Completely agree. But I wonder how much of that is just accomplished with well placed code comments that explain the why for future agent interactions to prevent them from misunderstanding. I have something like this in my AGENTS.md.

I hacked together something similar to the concept they describe a few months ago ( https://github.com/btucker/agentgit ) and then ended up not actually finding it that useful and abandoning it.

I've been working on https://github.com/btucker/selkie which is a complete implementation of the Mermaid parser & renderer in rust as an experiment in what's possible with Claude Code. It's still rou

Last year here in Chicago my wife's bike was stolen overnight. It has an airtag hidden in a bell on the handlebars. When we woke up and noticed it was missing, we traced it to a park not too far away. We ran over there and called the C

I haven't dug too deep, but it appears to be using a bubblewrap sandbox inside a vm on the Mac using Apple's Virtualization.framework from what I can tell. It then uses unix sockets to proxy network via socat. ETA: used Claude Cod

I've been starting to think of it like this: Great Engineer + AI = Great Engineer++ (Where a great engineer isn't just someone who is a great coder, they also are a great communicator & collaborator, and love to learn) Good En

Also, it was a time when being “online” was an active state. Now we’re “online” passively 24/7.

I love Monkeybrains! I had something in the neighborhood of a 600mbps symmetric connection through them in the late 2010s when I lived in SF. The only issue was when it rained hard the speeds would deteriorate. Interesting you're getti

Then why did you post that?

I understand you're trying to "both sides" an argument. What have you found that has achieved for you in the past? Do you change people's opinions with this?

I'm sure PaywallBuster has reviewed these and confirmed they were one-year spending before making their statement.

A step in the right direction last week for the largest upzoning effort in the city! https://archive.is/QuOcJ Of course the a vocal minority is fuming about higher density.

Agreed, but I wonder--given investors demands for continued growth--if they're considering going up against NVIDIA.

It seems like you might be trying to use it like a search engine, which is a common mistake people make when first trying LLMs. LLMs are not like Google. The key is to give it context so it can help you. For example, if you want it to help

This makes me think of the early/mid-2000s & https://blosxom.sourceforge.net . Blosxom had this delightful concept of file extensions as "flavours." For example, you could have a ".rss" flavour that w

I appreciate the intent here of making levels more transparent & evenly applied, but in practice this seems to be tying levels/comp to a demographic attribute people have no control over: their age. This makes me feel uncomfortable
