reality is underrated

@The_Only_Signal is there a signup page for groupies?

Just won an AMD developer contest for Dream Server and my work on local AI. Nobody on X will care.

LLMs are wordcels AND shape rotators

@rolibosch one thing you can do is a decorator patten (in python) that maps sections of the code to a larger plan

Coding agents do a lot but the bottleneck now, more than compute, really is cognitive bandwidth. You can build faster than you can keep track of what you build, let alone process it. How are you all engineering systems to tackle this emergent problem?

@joecrotchett @mreflow @elder_plinius im here for the job loss though

@mreflow @elder_plinius Add “bad actors using it to make weapons of mass destruction” and “unprecedented global job loss”

what’s your biggest fear with AI?

@elder_plinius that cute claude is going to end up being a Corpo, that we squander the worlds resources but never implement the quantum jitter ring

@KuroiKumanoashi @jmwind have to adjust the stirrups and crop

@jmwind You're not going to believe this, but "mounting" is taken. Plus HR would like to see you tomorrow morning first thing.

Joined a new AI-native company this week and it’s kind of wild how different it feels already. The laptop arrived, I logged in, and an agent basically took over from there. It set up my dev env, pulled repos, fixed dependency issues, got permissions approved, pointed me at the backlog, linked the architecture docs, and surfaced the Slack debates I actually needed to read before touching production. When I needed context on something, I asked the agent and it found the exact thread from months ago explaining why a decision was made, who owned it, the related Linear issues, and the PRs connected to it. I’ve only been here 3 days but it honestly feels like I’ve worked here for a year because the usual friction and scavenger hunt for context just isn’t there anymore. We should probably stop calling this “onboarding” and rename it to “mounting” because this feels a lot more like mounting a distributed filesystem called “institutional memory” than slowly getting drip-fed context over 6 months.

@jmwind how about 'humping' instead because mounting is so loaded

@sheisartmoney @nemupyoi You know you have an energy drink problem when you are snorting coffee outside of costco

@nemupyoi @lux

btw they sell vietnamese coffee concentrate at costco now. legal cocaine for only $20. dangerous.

its not even procrastination anymore im highkey not gonna do that shit

@izzyz 600-700 billion per year

how big does my ai need to be for me to escape the permanent underclass

@jamesqquick @TomWatkins1994 is this true? Seems like the priority WAS to integrate into existing tools like vscode; that's done, what's next

@TomWatkins1994 Yeah it feels so obvious to me but it seems like the majority of tools seem to prioritize not having this

Unpopular opinion: there’s still a need for traditional IDE functionality when building with AI

@justalexoki idk still be messing around with things like a monkey

ok so let's say all the jobs we have today are solved within ~5 years. what's next? what are the new jobs? are there any new jobs? if not, what do humans do without any obvious contribution to the economy?

@tszzl @ArbitraryOstric Wait is this about the encryption thing?

are you prepared for the violence of everything on earth becoming legible

@bentossell Honestly? Advertising industry

why are we getting agents to open browsers to use human designed sites

@Oceanswave @nbaschez I wonder if agents like SPARQL. Someone should try

@nbaschez oh man, and this new world wide web concept could even use things like linked data via RDF for structure, OWL for defining relationships, and even SPARQL for querying!🤗

Would be cool if there was an easy way to share HTML pages You could imagine a world wide web of these documents, linked together Really cool idea

@ChShersh what are you going to do now

I'm 32. I've been programming for 16 years. AMA

@foomagemindset @eladgil @GreatDismal 🎯

@lux @eladgil lmao its @greatdismal quote

People at major AI labs (using internal models) 3-4 months ahead of startup silicon valley engineers SV founders/eng 3-6 months ahead of NY NY founders/eng 6-12 months ahead of rest of world Most people have no idea how fast AI shifting as 1-2 years behind SOTA "The future is here, just not equally distributed" - Robert Heinlein

@tszzl theres not enough out of distribution anymore

it is actually worrying that the models seem to have converged on similar beliefs on all important questions. they’re are neobuddhist neolibs which talk about annata and housing policy, including grok and the Chinese models! boring
