I’m spending a significant portion of my day waiting for agents to execute. What’s more interesting to me than time-to-first token or latency is the time it takes for the agent to execute, from starts to finish, excluding when it’s waiting

PaaS like render.com explicitly support Docker. As a developer, I wager that any gains I get from Podman will be dwarfed by bugs that I’m encountering in the other software I use. I’m not implying that Podman causes the bugs. I’m saying tha

It would be interesting if someone built a platform like Brex or Expensify, to manage spending within these programs. Something that balanced empowering participants and protecting their privacy, while also protecting them from financial ab

I think the goals are super-intelligences, which I'm defining as organization composed of humans and AI agents, are knowable. I'd love feedback.

The article makes a serious math error early on. The author’s math considers how mines would be distributed if mines were distributed to the empty squares after reaching that board state. This is wrong. This is classic Monty Hall Problem. T

Every time I see a new language, I immediately check if it uses significant white space like Python. If it doesn’t, I sigh sadly and dismiss it.

It boggles my mind that any developer of a new language wouldn’t use Python’s significant use of white space. You’re able to fit more code on a screen, and it’s less visual noise. It’s like Pareto better. I really don’t get why others don’t

This advice may make sense for some languages, but it certainly doesn’t make sense for Python. Python generally provides one and only one best way to do things. With one exception (single quotes vs. double quotes) I can’t think of any cases
