Put another way: “reading code costs the same as it always did” arguably more when you consider that the cost of reading goes down when the ability read goes up. in other words if you wrote the thing it is likely you can read it fast. but r

Interesting. Has anyone found running multiple parallel agents useful in practice?

Is there any marked difference or benefit over Claude Code?

Estimates will continue to go earlier, and more things that were, or are, alive will be considered exceptional. Seems to be a function of looking.

i have a house in a lot of sun in mid atlantic usa. i have spent a modest amount of time casually exploring solar. the cost/benefit never seems that great. what am i missing?

Currently, the only way to understand code is to read it. You no longer need to understand code to produce it (maybe in some pre-AI cases that was also true). So no, you don’t _need_ to read code anymore. But not reading code is a risk. Tha

It seems like the archery gets disproportionately more “hollywood doesn’t understand how it works” coverage than other things. Is that because I’m an archer and that’s what I see?

Projects like this are fascinating for reasons, I guess, unintentional to their creators. Is what you can see at this level of detail helping anyone understand the painting? Someone thinks so. So what do we now know?

there is no such bar. We don’t even have a good way to quantify human ability. The idea that we could suddenly develop a technique to quantify human ability because we now have a piece of technology that would benefit from that quantificati

idk, i think it’s as worth mentioning as the writing style, which a lot of the comments are about. and i think they’re fair — don’t mind the style myself

What’s the saying? Twice the work, half the credit? In all seriousness tho, I don’t buy it. It’s pretty hard to solo-achieve things in most complicated work environments. Saying you’re part of a group effort means more to those more interes

yeah, on a small scale it’s actually pretty easy to make a decent dent in the feed bill. once you get over a dozen hens though it would take a few adults to make enough waste. chickens eat a lot!

yeah that’s my point.

im in md, and my hens have been laying all winter, no artificial light. they are a hybrid cross i bought from a local egg producing farm. i think they are called sex linked reds (not sure). it’s crazy how many eggs they lay.

yeah, they deter aerial predators, but you can’t have too much room for them to roam away from the geese. in my experience you need to have the geese and chickens together within about 200sq feet.

i have a simple system for keep my birds safe from land predators. so the birds get a point for each level of protection they receive. each group needs two points to be safe. i mainly raise geese, which are tough, not going to be bothered b

yes. i have a flock and the feed alone puts a doz at $3. the labor is somewhat enjoyable and the chickens are incredible child-leftover disposal machines. but when you factor infrastructure and labor youll probably never recoup your “invest

I’ve got a flock, not counting infrastructure my costs are tied directly to feed. I source local non-gmo and herbicide free grains. My cost is about $3/doz. It’s unusual to be so close to a farm that produces the variety of grain at th

it’s so good. no context switching with a different app. also, there’s a fairly compatible version for emacs with the same name.

American Genesis covers a few inventors around the turn of the century 1900, including wright bros IIRC, inspiring stuff. in the fiction realm i think the martian fits the bill too!

I write through substack and agree with the main point here: substack’s primary interest is creating a walled garden at the expense of writers. I also agree their main hold over writers is convenience, even considering the alternatives. It

My takeaway from that experience is that nutrition is the best way to prevent disease/pests. once there’s a problem it’s probably too late.

I’ve had terrible luck growing pumpkins until this year when I put five root bound starts in the former bedding of my goose flock. All the starts were tangled together in a two gallon pot, didn’t even bother separating. Those plants easily
