@malsobay what model are you using with hermes?

3. gave hermes agent the layout of my office and described the kind of reading chair and side table I was looking for, incl style, budget, etc. found excellent options that i ended up buying. chatgpt was pretty bad at this by comparison.

running thread of instances I've found LLMs particularly useful or frustrating 1. I want to move all my files to an external SSD. Out of the box, transfer is infeasibly slow. GPT 5.2 helped reformat to APFS, disable spotlight indexing, and run rsync -- 5-10x higher throughput.

In double-blind placebo-controlled trials, 'gluten-sensitive' people who *think* they're going to eat gluten have reactions. But if they don't expect gluten, there's no reaction. Expectancy has a bigger effect than actually eating gluten!

Six months ago, there was a lot of focus on the idea that the there would be a massive glut of unused computing power which would could a recession as AI use plateaued. The "compute bubble" belief was absolutely everywhere. The degree to which this was wrong deserves some notice

Ironically this is probably the first time that actual humans are carefully & thoroughly reviewing the Claude Code codebase

It got lost in the news firehose, but this is the craziest chart today, and maybe this decade

@alexwg The only person I have notifications turned on for Cheers Dr!

good to see he got his coin back

i thought the view was surreal, but i looked twice and found out that it was just satya Nadella and marc andreessen

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

when you finish Designing Data Intensive Applicatios only to remember your actual job for the foreseeable future is still gonna be maintaining a PHP monolith from 2009.

Me finally reading the api documentation after trying it for the last two hours based on vibes.

My gf recently found out that the band she just discovered and has been loving on Spotify is actually AI-generated. It’s felt like a big milestone. What year do we think we’ll tip to >50% of content consumed coming from AI? 2028? Can’t be later than 2030.

It's funny. Poor people fake having wealth and rich people fake not having wealth for the exact reason: To be respected by others.
