As much as I hate piracy in a sector in financial crisis like book publishing (because Anna’s project is piracy), I hate even more what these large AI companies are doing: privatizing human knowledge. On one side, there’s copyright law, whi

Author here. Yes, I agree that reading for two minutes here and there is not that effective, but in my opinion, as little as 10 minutes of reading helps me make progress. The story is already loaded in my recent memory, so it's quick t

Curious, is there an Andreesen Horowitz Agent MCP? Let’s automate this end to end, from idea to raising capitals. Vibe Angels should just be multi agents managing how much capitals to allocate to each projects.

Some advice from my experience. - Working remotely by yourself every day sucks. Get a coworking space, shared office, work from a cafe, at least a few days a week. - Go out. Riding a bike, hiking or even bringing your dog out three times a

It's not clear to me why running this attack to install OpenClaw? Especially if it's installing the real latest OpenClaw. Is it compromised as well?

Kind of yes and kind of no. Not many reasons to use Common Lisp I agree, but the Lisp idea itself has still something to offer that couldn’t be found in other systems. I’m comfortable to declare that are not macros the most powerful thing o

I lived in Australia in Far North Queensland until last year and power was running out every heavy rain. The point is that in that region there are only two seasons: a short dry season and a long wet one. So everyone expects multiple power

A bit older than you but yes, the feeling is kind of there. Let's try to be a bit more precise: > no hope of ever living a fruitful and meaningful life This is wrong. Fruitful and meaningful life can be lived anyway independently fr

I perfectly agree with antirez about the importance of AI and the benefit for coders. In the last month we saw a big jump and we all are in the middle of the biggest technological revolution since the internet. He summarised the benefits, b

I get your point but then let's not complains if creativity dies and things all look the same. Creative people don't have motivation to produce if they can't make a living out of it.

Interesting article to get a bit more knowledge about the field. I went quickly trough some of the books cited and I have the same feeling that they’re not very practical. Also I didn’t find many practical books about LLVM either. I would l
