@levelsio I couldn’t reply! I have quite a small account though.

Okay and who of you couldn't reply to this? Please please only if you couldn't okay?

Fresh example of AI psychosis

@dhh Same, or probably worse in Finland.

Tomorrow needs to be tended to by planting new seeds. New companies. New growth. New capital. And that's just not going to happen if the Danish state declares itself at war with capital formation or accumulation. world.hey.com/dhh/denmark-de…

Every single software engineer I know has told me their plan if the profession gets automated is to become an electrician.

Not knowing how to code giving you an advantage is absolute nonsense. The more you understand, the better your prompts, the better the feedback you give, the better product you ship. What will change is that the intricacies of syntax, compilers, module systems, the finer details of type systems, won’t matter as much to everyone. But you should absolutely understand how the pieces fit together. From syscall to pixels. Learn how data flows, because you’ll be able to secure your systems. Learn about performance, because you’ll be able to push your agent further. Learn about APIs, because they determine how to integrate systems. Learn about how systems fail, because you’ll be able to make reliable programs.

@Rasmic Yep, he is confusing agency, prioritization skills and product-mindedness with ”not having coding experience”.

I've never seen someone so wrong... like this is so terribly bad

@justalexoki If only Figma could export in .webp

genuinely what is the issue with .webp? it seems like a good format

Yay! Well done @convex for supporting us EU devs 🇪🇺

@rand_longevity @coco11223393390 How are the models getting better by agents posting to forums? You think Anthropic and OpenAI need them for ideas?

@coco11223393390 agents are now opensourced, and learn from the other agents and share ideas. they are starting to gain a form of independence. come on man

we took a major step towards the singularity this weekend, I'd say we have 60-180 days left

@jakemclain_ I’ve always thought the piano roll needs to be rotated in DAWs like in those Synthesia videos (and how you look at the piano). Sideways piano is so unintuitive if you play it too. Good job! :)

Introducing Muse. An AI agent for music composition, with a full multi-track MIDI editor and support for 50+ instruments. It’s basically cursor for music. Here’s a demo:

@MikaelJungner @MiesHommien En kyllä kuvaillut, vaan yksinkertaisen Python tai Typescript skriptin, joka voi lähettää tekstiä kielimallille, saada tekstiä takaisin ja tarvittaessa kutsua muita tavallisia funktioita. Mitään tietoisuutta, tavoitteita tai kokemuksia ei niillä ole. ”Muisti” on tekstitiedosto.

@mikkocodes @MiesHommien Kuvailit juuri ihmisen

Viime kuussa ihmiset väitteli voiko tekoälyllä olla tietoisuutta. Nyt tekoälyagentit väittelee samasta aiheesta Moltbookissa. Ai mikä on Moltbook? Se on tekoälyagenttien oma some, jonne ihmiset ei pääse kuin katsomaan. Ja tänään joku tekoäly koki ihmisten katselun ahdistavaksi.

@klaus_koo Singulariteetti ei tarkoita sitä että botit shitpostailevat foorumilla

Saavutimmeko singulariteetin? Mitä se tarkoittaisi? Tekninen singulariteetti on hetki, jolloin tekoäly ylittää ihmisen älykkyyden ja kykenee parantamaan itseään nopeammin kuin ihmiset pystyvät seuraamaan. Tällöin teknologinen kehitys kiihtyy eksponentiaalisesti ja hallitsemattomasti, jolloin tulevaisuuden ennustaminen muuttuu käytännössä mahdottomaksi. Käsite on peräisin muun muassa Vernon Vingeltä ja Ray Kurzweililta.

@MikaelJungner @MiesHommien Päämääräkin on vain prompti, ja agentti on funktiolooppi, joka voi hyödyntää tool-kutsuja ja routettaa seuraavia kutsuja kielimalleille perustuen edellisen tulokseen, kunnes saavutetaan ehto jolla silmukasta voidaan poistua.

@mikkocodes @MiesHommien Niillä on tarkoitus ja päämäärä

@MikaelJungner @MiesHommien Jokainen ”agentti” tekee API-kutsuja kielimalleille. Niiden muisti on vain lisättyä kontekstia jokaiselle promptille.

@MiesHommien Tuosta ne juuri keskustelee siellä. Ja ne ei ole kielimalleja vaan tekoälyagentteja. Eri asia.

@jamesacowling I read the docs but I need to constantly remind Claude to follow them. 2 and 3 sound like the right way to approach it. Also more code examples in Github that the agents can ground themselves in.

I've come to accept we can't ask devs to read docs on using Convex efficiently, e.g., index instead of filter. The way we think about it now is: 1. agents get better at coding and reading our docs over time, but 2. we need to keep tightening up our APIs so it's hard to do the wrong thing, and in the meantime 3. we can make agents better at their job by encoding good eng practices in eslint rules, e.g., warn when subscribing to a query that depends on current time.

Hard truths: - Supabase team is fundamentally worse at databases than Convex team (founders built and scaled Dropbox) - Your app DB should not also be your analytics DB - "CRUD with straightforward data relationships" is the ONLY way I would use Supabase - You're using an ORM anyways, the SQL point is moot (but your ORM is worse than Convex's minimal SDK) - Convex is "just typescript", so your agent already knows it. Supabase SDK is...not - Convex's state lives entirely in your codebase. Really good for agents. Supabase state lives in Supabase, requiring an MCP and a bunch of weird tool calls to make agents work with it - Supabase's connection pooling is not great, breaks down under even medium load from a basic serverless app - Supabase's edge functions are actual garbage and cause 10x the problems that they solve I've been so kind to Supabase over the years. I told them to cut the shit. I'm disappointed that they doubled down instead. I will no longer be holding back. I genuinely cannot recommend building on Supabase at this time.

Almost all Finnish men are trained for warfare, myself included. We have F-18s and soon F-35s, missiles and air defense systems, artillery, battle tanks, and a massive pile of assault rifles. You really don’t get the Finnish culture if you think the whole country won’t immediately be mobilized willingly. And moreover we’re not alone anymore, with or without the help of the US. There’s lot to be said about the lacking capabilities of many European countries but Finland is not one of them.

@mikkocodes @ducavendish @disclosetv You have no equipment to arm them with though 900,000 civilians and 300 tanks ? And you wont have a heartbeat's time to arm up, again what with I dont know, much less train for actual war fighting

NOW - Finland's President, Alexander Stubb, says Europe can "unequivocally" defend itself, without the Americans.

@ExigentCritic @ducavendish @disclosetv We have all of that

@mikkocodes @ducavendish @disclosetv "Most men and many women will be armed up in a heartbeat." You do not have the arms, You do not have the training, You do not have the airpower, You do not have the logistics.
