Curiosity and anxiety. I rebuilt my entire workflow around agents so the unease that the frontiers would change something (access, pricing, availability) and lock me out of that were high. Also why I spent way too much on hardware (at least

In open weights models on a similar metric I find this to be highly specific to role and model. Some models are just diggers by nature, but all will verify more if you tell them to. Have you tried running a Claude watcher with the same role

I built exactly this using my own codebases. The setup isn’t that complex; split the git history to just before the change, sandbox the agent with everything they will need at that commit and lightly modify rules so they don’t go searching

Haha, I thought about this today. I'm traveling and walked through a university campus. The new students are coming in and I thought wow, wouldn't it be wild to be a fresh in student in the age of AI (it's been a long time si

There has to be a changing economic undertone to it as well. For a lot of years, the craft that many people enjoyed also happened to pay well and had significant barriers to entry. It's easy to like the craft when it pays you well. The

That’s fascinating and gives me even more respect for how well maintainers know their code sections.

I think I am on your arc as well. My learning on different topics is growing every day, but there’s a limit to how much I can absorb. With the LLMs the experiments stay just beyond that horizon and I keep chasing. Stated too strongly, but I

I realized the same while reading it, but my impression is that the output has been well edited. The typical Claude density has been pulled out into something more human readable, but with many of the Claud-isms still intact. Personally I f

I have been using a PR branch to run GLM 5.3 flash locally so I have been watching the dueling PRs develop to implement it and all the comments and reviews. You're right the scale of it is huge. The speed with which maintainers and com

Yes, I thought when I was starting that 1u and 2u form factors were to save space. Maybe they are, but they also have the advantage of moving air front to back very effectively through and over the components. Though there still must be som

I find 10 to be very usable. It’s not (that) interactive but it chews through tasks. I let Kimi churn away at 4 overnight and it gives good results that are ready for me in the morning.

I’ll be very curious what you get with DDR4. I also almost went that way. I have an Epyc DDR 5 rig and the best I see is 10 tok/s. Caveat being that’s at Q8 and a 4090 doing pre fill so it could be pushed up. The surprising thing for m

I don't disagree in principle, but there's got to be a ceiling at some complexity. Teach them to prompt their way into a Twitter clone in a month (or less), sure. Teach them to prompt their way into a Bun rewrite in Rust in a mont

This is something devs don’t give enough credit. You may think you’re just promoting, but ask someone outside the field to prompt their way to a feature and you will see very clearly what your experience is bringing to the table.

I’m m just starting to get results on a local/cloud agent pipeline I’ve been building. I don’t think I will ever code again. Plan, review, read, architect, test, yes. Code though simply doesn’t make sense when I’m getting these results

Current Rails and Co are miles away from where they used to be then, but even then my feeling was that maybe it was the skill/culture/dev ops at Twitter that was at least partly responsible for the fail whale. But I don’t have any

I like this approach and I would be pretty happy if this is the way models go, but my question is: go look it up where? Search quality is declining for multiple reasons and I don’t see it becoming better. At best it might be able to outrun

My observation is that finance and banking and corporate functions high enough up the ladder operate more like a clubhouse than cutthroat businesses. You’d think all you need to do is make a better interface, but if you’re not part of the c

Very clever. You might have said "browser engine" to be more precise and avoid the child comments misunderstanding, but Apple deserves this burn.

I have not that many things in life that I try to live by. One is that when presented with contradictory evidence, evaluate it honestly and, if you evaluate it to be correct, in full or in part, change your belief freely and without apology

What’s missing to me in all this is: did it succeed in its initial task? And then, did it stop? I feel like whether I should be scared or not hangs on those questions

Stake the claim then. I’ve also read a fair bit of LLM text and this didn’t trip anything for me. Edit: after reading the author bio and the other articles, I agree with this assessment. Though I will admit, this particular article didn’t j

Thank you for sharing that. If you write something of your life I’d be interested in reading it. I once was on an Audax ride with some guy I just met. 12:30 we pick up together at a gas station and decide to share lights, we’re targeting th

Heinz lived, in the most extreme way possible, my dream of traveling by bike. I’m reminded of the Annie Dillard quote: > There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the sense

It’s not a complaint, only an observation. Operator aside, to observe that the models behave differently shouldn’t be controversial, should it? It seems like you read my comment as dissing Kimi. Kimi is in regular rotation for me. Some task

One thing I have been increasingly confused about is why the memory makers are not building or planning to build more fabs. A few months ago I thought it was obvious, that they correctly identified the AI bubble, but after going down the ra
