Agents don't need types. They're perfectly capable of pulling off incredible refactorings without. Give them a linter and a test suite, and you have all you need. Token efficiency is where it's at.




After some back and forth to agree on terms @ludwigABAP and I have decided that if on Dec 31 2030 @littmath says that AI has not yet generated any interesting math research I will pay Ludwig $1000 and if he says that it has Ludwig will pay me $1000. This bet will be on the honor system but I think we both care enough about our reputations that no one will squelch.

@elonmusk @iScienceLuvr Finishing PhD is an anti-signal in many cases. If you didn't learn to go to drop out go to industry and build real things, then you are probably too theory-pilled



.@PalmerLuckey: American companies don't actually have engineers anymore. "American companies have been hollowed out." "We're not teaching engineers how to be engineers anymore." "We're not teaching designers how to actually design things to be manufactured." "We're teaching them how to be high-level design shops that put together a design package, that gets sent to the real engineers in China—and they actually figure out how to do the work." "People are turning into architecture astronauts." "They pick components, and they put them in a nominal layout." "But the real work of—how am I actually going to put this together? How am I going to build a manufacturing line to make this? How am I going to need to figure out how to do the one, two, three, four, five different revisions of this board to pass radio emissions and interference standards? That's all done in China. So they are the real engineers." Via @HooverInst
