Probably asked what’s the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

That’s non sense. Every software people pay or use as their professional tool should be carefully crafted. Would you buy a house/car/anything or value knowing that people who built it don’t care about their craft as long as you go

Agreed, but it proves the point that having kids does not makes you an adult

by shinycode 6mo ago
So you’ve never seen parents quit and neglect their kids ? That does not exists ?

by shinycode 6mo ago
So all the employees of companies that work in this industry are not adults if they play ? You are targeting a specific fringe of people too broadly.

by shinycode 6mo ago
I know many people who have children and are not adults. And someone who never have kids will never be adult ?

The article is useless, but the comments about people talking about their cats are priceless. Thank you OP to have ignited this thread, makes me so happy to read about other people love/observations of their cat. Definitely my all tim

It’s true there’s some magic effect from Claude code’s work. But still, often it’s not exactly the same infra and scaling than production grade. But for a customer I guess that’s perfect, they have a mean to make their own tools instead of

That’s the exact definition our CEO gave of our job this week. That’s how he sees and expects us to work now. I feel some anxiety because that’s too much too fast. We went from « we need to fix every single bug we encounter » to « it doesn’

The exact same prompt ? Everything depends on the prompt and it’s different tools. These days the quality and what’s build around the prompt matters as much as the code. We can’t feed generic query.

There isn’t just concrete in a house. There is hundreds of things that could vary from house to house (even country to country and laws) so it’s more like the building blocs are not only imports of lib but the language itself (raw materials

No I don’t agree. Just because it’s « boilerplate », that does not mean it’s worthless or doesn’t carry novelty. There is « boilerplate » in building many things, house, cars etc where to add real new stuff it’s « always the same base » bu

If found it better to split in smaller tasks from a first overall analysis and make it do only that subtask and make it give me the next prompt once finished (or feed that to a system of agents). There is a real threshold from where quality

Our CEO, an expert in marketing has discovered Claude Code and is the one having the most open PR of all developers and is pushing for us to « quickly review ». He does not understand why review are so slow because it’s « the easiest part »

Discreet is not the same thing as embedded in your face with no hands involved and indiscernible from regular glasses.

Thanks for the link ! I’m very curious about their choices and methods, I’ll try it

I also do that and it works quite well to iterate on spec md files first. When every step is detailed and clear and all md files linked to a master plan that Claude code reads and updates at every step it helps a lot to keep it on guard rai

Usually the quote comes in a positive light. We won’t make a law/rule around it, it’s a principle so it’s meant to be short. So yeah you could argue about anything in any way you want, positive or negative. And if you want to be really

Yeah you’re raising three good points and they all land. On the finetuned LLM: you’re right, that criterion was flawed. A system trained to report experience proves nothing about whether experience is present, which is actually the core of

by shinycode 7mo ago
The analogy holds technically, but there’s a missing piece: the brain doesn’t just update weights, it does so guided by experience that matters to a situated, embodied agent with drives and stakes. Sleep consolidation isn’t random cleanup,

Not necessarily either but the serious version of the argument is that life consistently acts against local entropy in purposeful ways, and pure physics doesn’t obviously explain why matter would “want” to do that. Consciousness as a organi

by shinycode 7mo ago
That’s a genuinely strong point. You can only verify consciousness from the inside, your own. Everything else is inference. No objective measurement can definitively distinguish “other minds exist” from solipsism. That’s not a bug in the ar

The same kind of proof we accept for any scientific claim: converging, reproducible evidence that rules out competing explanations. Concretely, that means: We already have indirect evidence: conscious states vary predictably with brain stat

Even if LLM will one day be autonomously updated, they started from us, from our knowledge. The human brain « is smart », it’s wired up to be in any kind of culture or knowledge. We fill up to be smarter from experience but LLM can’t do th

Physicalists say consciousness emerges from matter. The other camp says matter comes from consciousness. Federico Faggin, inventor of the microprocessor, says consciousness cannot emerge from matter because matter is inert and not self-cons

I don’t know how much of an anecdote it is, but all the non-tech people with whom I talk about IA only know chatGPT. Competition is either non existent or the same thing. Among those, no one wants to pay the service, they just stop using it

There is complains that some Volvo cars damaged iPhone cameras. It’s not even clear if Apple takes those under warranty. We’ve seen car review YouTubers that got their iPhone camera sensors damaged captured (by a second camera) while review

It’s very hard to capture everything in such an era. Maybe they made other choices that aligned with the fiction they were writing. It’s not a documentary. And TV shows can’t capture as much as books. The show successfully gives enough to

That’s the main problem isn’t it ? Because it does matter and there is consequences to that like, should you « unplug » from the grid an AI ? Should we erase the memories of AI ? We eat animals and forbid eating humans, why ? Could we let A
