That depends on the output's purpose: if the purpose is to produce readable text for a human that is _not_ me, like an article or document, then I care more about clarity, plain-speaking, and general register. If the goal is to accompl

These artists are pretty cool: - https://andreaciulu.com/ - https://www.rooperainisto.com/ You might feel differently, but I feel intention and effort being communicated here.

I will frequently post the output of a computer to slack as a part of an engineering discussion. For Claude output I'll treat it the same, wrap it in code blocks, and say something like "Claude's analysis". If its ok to

agreed, but IMO thats been true for most off-the-shelf skills I've seen. Instead I built my own "/meta" skill to improve my workflows, which I can use in targeted ways across my projects

I think AI optimism is an easier jump for those already immersed in computer culture, or at least the subset of that culture who view automation as a virtue. For those either outside computer culture, or those within who might view "cr

I see you haven't tried a modular synthesizer yet :) Getting back to the same "place" in a patch can sometimes be impossible, and it does feel "random" until you get the hang of it.

Two years ago (Dec 2023), I visited Japan and try to use ChatGPT (GPT-3 era) to translate Kanji signs, it was OK but not great. A little over a year later (late April 2025, o1 era IIRC), I visited again and saw a political rally with hand-p

I would definitely agree that data center investments would need to be coupled with energy investments. If this could act as a catalyst for more (sustainable) energy production that would be a net win for all IMO.

Do you feel poison fountain is actually effective? To me it seems like free chaos engineering for ingestion platforms. Wouldn't it paradoxically harden data ingestion?

I've been trying to solve a lot of the issues brought up here, like personal automation, note taking, article summarizing/indexing, etc. What I've learned so far is that no level of AI-enabled automation will help me with my

Came here to say this as well. I've written and read full human-written essays on slack before AI. With that said, I don't disagree with the article. Don't use more word when few work.

To use your analogy, I would say the "blanket ban" attitude would be more like wishing all viruses would just go away, or have never existed in the first place, which: 1) is an impossible and unproductive attitude, and 2) fails

My wife bought a Neo and has been very happy with it. I was wary of the 8gb memory limit but she is running claude code doing web development with a reasonable number of tabs open and no noticeable lag, so I'd say its definitely gettin

As others have said, the main benefit with Python over Rust is library support especially with ML features. The other gap as I see it with Rust is the lack of native flexible UI support. The nice thing about Rust though is it can serve as a

I've been seeing much higher session limits late at night (US time). Workday usage struggles though. I'm looking into how to structure my work to run some autonomous-safe jobs overnight to take advantage of it.

I've been trying to toe the line here myself, here's how I've been doing it. For context, I pay for a Max 5x subscription. My main goal is to maximize my subscription token usage while trying to comply with the rules, but its

I tried openclaw when it was released, but I preferred the minimalism of nanoclaw and replaced it. I have it on a mac mini now For context: I have additional automation with scripts set up on the mini, some of them call LLMs to do things li

> Early career folk join some toxic startup and stay because the internet told them all CEOs are like this. I literally did this 12 years ago based on this reasoning, its good you're trying to counter that with the next generation.

This is a big part of why I'm looking to develop a local LLM capability: having the hardware is a good start, but also developing the understanding on what the SoTA of local edge models can do, so we're not crippled if remote mode

Kind of. I'm finding that my terminal window in VSCode went from being at the bottom 1/3rd of my screen to filling the whole screen a lot of the time, replacing the code editor window. If AI is writing all of your code for you bas

I've been getting close to that myself, I've been using VSCode + Claude Code as my "control plane" for a bunch of projects but the current interface is getting unwieldly. I've tried superset + conductor and those ha

Most knowledge worker use computers today to do their work, but we don't necessarily call them computer or software engineers. I think it will be something like that, but the economy will need to adapt and grow in order to accommodate

I agree with most of the other comments so far, the "magic" of the show is going to be hard to replicate. My bull case for this is that Nathan Fillion and crew have had 20 years of exposure to this fact and likely know what they&#

Thats exactly what we as software engineers do. We are constantly automating ourselves out of a job. The trick is that we never actually accomplish that, there will always be things for humans to do. We're discovering so much latent de

If anyone wants a chuckle, I vibe-coded an endless supply of "synergizing paradigm" terms as a slideshow for a fake corporation. It's fun to put on in the background on a tv somewhere to see if anyone notices. https:/&#

I've been cruising on rust too, not just because it works great for LLMs but also the great interop: - I can build SPAs with typescript and offload expensive operations to a rust implementation that targets wasm - I can build a multi-p

Maybe have it build some toy apps just for fun! My wife and I were talking once about typing speed and challenged each other to a typing competition. the existing ones I found weren't very good and were riddled with ads, so I had Claud
