Yeah, the flip side of the article is that Fable level models can fix the majority of codebases created from the past 3 years and one shot it to a fixable state that is "human maintainable"

The comments that drive the most homicidal behavior are outdated or inaccurate comments rather than no comments.

to be fair, nobody said they were shocked. just that they were a bad trading partner.

I guess Zelle is the replacement. I've sent thousands to strangers with it with zero problems or fees. I don't like it at all because it is private and in my view a way for banks to avoid accountability. But also zelle isn't

2,000 gold bars were stopped out of iraq. and that is just what was stopped / reported. Dictators and autocrats may or nay not have cash sitting in a bank account, but there are most likely multiple with $1B in gold.

Not to be pedantic and I agree with what you are saying but: > As a rule of thumb, if you look at something for 3 minutes and have some obvious questions, the scientists that looked at it for several years of their life in great detail m

In general once or twice a month cleaners aren't hired to "tidy up", they deep clean. a bit like the difference of brushing your teeth and going to a hygienist.

They almost certainly are, even if unknowingly, because HN and all blogs get piped continuously into all models' training corpus.

After the steep increase in sales of Mac Studios specifically for LLMs, I'm waiting for Apple to release a frontier level model, optimized for highest end of apple hardware (probably would be hardware locked by a certain neural process

Its actually simpler since the skill can be 100% a MD file.

idk, just have a standard internet request tool that skills can describe endpoints to. like you could mock `curl` even for the same CLI feel

I've been thinking a lot about this lately. It seems like what is missing with most coding agents is a central source of truth. Before the truth of what the company was building and alignment was distributed, people had context about w

You know, that would actually be pretty fun and cool. Like if you had home automation set up with a "pet assistant", but it would only follow your commands if you made sure to keep it happy.

I mean emails were and still are a huge security risk. Sometimes I'm more scared of employees opening and engaging with emails than I am than anything else.

Apple is terrible for business. Every portal and product require a new apple id. apple store and apple business can't be same apple id. your device id can't be the same as either. Its madness. Last count i have 4 apple ids that I

Any of these abstractions are just temporary.

Floats break the basic expectation of == for round-trip verification, not due to programmer error, but because NaN is non-reflexive by spec. A bit-perfect round-trip can reproduce the exact bit pattern and still fail an equality check. The

I love to build a plan, then cycle to another frontier model to iterate on it.

I like the idea of we will always need Pilots. We have autopilot and i'm sure if we tried could automate take off and landing of commercial flights. But we will keep pilots on planes long after they are needed.

I've been saying this for the past 2 years. Even think about the stereotypical "996" work schedule that is all the rave in SF and AI founder communities. It just takes thinking about it for 5 seconds to see the contradiction.
