Agents get a little upset when you ask them to do this and then check their work with a hook. They do not enjoy the process and create some weird looking text!

I couldn't get past all the network errors on OpenCode. Seemed smart enough, and was useful when I was low on usage on Claude, but beyond that, really hard for me to say whether it was Good or Bad.

Handcrafted software will find it's own market the same way that handcrafted clothing, furniture and other previously industrialized goods that became commodities did. They'll be more expensive generally and it'll be a smalle

The scheduler in the Linux kernel jumps out to me as a place where it would be cool to find something of this nature.

RIP to a real one. Have you considered using one billion Chinese residential ips to address your problem? I’ve heard one billion Chinese residential ips really does the trick here.

Previously, I had done a fair amount of research into how Google's monopoly on web crawling further entrenches their monopoly in the search engine market. You can read more about this here, https://knuckleheads.club , there

Reminds me of the idea of Radical Monopolies from Ivan Illich in a way. If a technology or service becomes so wide spread within society, even though many different versions of the technology or service may exist, a Radical Monopoly means t

Looking forward to seeing how you handle it! I understand the complications of it as an engineer, I hope you figure out something soon!

You should talk with dang, as the email I received about this from him, to my eyes, does not agree with your stance here in the long term. I don’t want to get into the interminable blood quantum debate over Llm authorship either, however, I

Yes, I am asking if that particular policy could be changed. A little AI here and there is fine, to each their own, but I would prefer not to read posts that are overwhelmingly so.

I ran this through an AI checker and it flagged half of it immediately. @dang, I know Substack just enabled Pangram integration, is there anyway you could get Y Combinator to spring for a Pangram subscription for the front page or something

Congrats! I very much enjoyed my time at Recurse Center back when it was Hacker School and idly daydream about returning some time. Thanks for making something so great!

Did you read the article? It provided a pretty good argument against exactly this attitude.

Would you say the same about something like, say, Spacemacs?

Yeah I was surprised a while back that ChatGPT was pulling them up (I was doing some research on origins of sudoku and it was pulled up very old threads on Usenet). So now I specifically ask for it and it consistently finds me some gold. M

Something that I have started doing lately is asking ChatGPT et al to check usenet for reactions from users about events (if it is the right 80's/90's time period). Sure enough, aol.sucks on usenet had some choice words about

Shouldn't we know a better answer to these questions once Anthropic's IPO materials surface publicly? I understand, and maybe even expect, SpaceX's materials to be all over the place and skate on by any discussion of unit eco

Not affiliated with them, I just found it after casting around for a while trying to find something more or less exactly like this. Looks very neat, and like they made some good choices!

I will soon! https://threeemojis.substack.com/ just downloaded digithunt (first sudoku generation program I can find evidence of, from 1989) and was playing it some last night. Had Claude decompile it and it was interesting

I attended a decade ago and it was great, lots of people working and exploring a lot of cool stuff! I think what I would quibble with is that yes it is “random” what people work on, but there’s certainly themes and some people have pretty c

Implementing a solver/optimizer for the Minizinc challenge in Rust! It's very fun, and maybe next year I will even try and put it into the competition properly. As well, I am working on tracking down the history of Sudoku prior to

Not just the weird billing, which has been annoying the last month I've been trying it, but they have had a couple incidents lately where I feel like I got ripped off because their performance was so spotty and yet I was getting billed

Yes, correct, they both have the same capabilities, however it felt like codex was pushing me harder to use my local desktop in an annoying way, while claude code was happy to spin up a bunch of dev containers for me in the cloud.
