Sri Lanka feels like a country that's way poorer than its people
a case of physical capital lagging far behind social capital
food is great too!

that could happen, but apps/UIs do two different jobs: they surface what’s possible, and they encode a way of doing things (workflows institutionalized through many iterations and refinements)

Once we build out enough compute: Why have apps? Why not ask the intelligent computer to do exactly what you need every time, perhaps with a tap of colorful icon shortcut for something you use often.

True. Maybe not since I first learned about computers.

Yes. Most of the programmers I know are having the time of their lives. They have literally never had this much fun with computers before now. There is a minority that is wringing their hands and feeling miserable. I do not understand them.

why not just demonetize political content?

@Antunes1 We’ve love to hear your thoughts about living in Portugal. I’m sure you have plenty of great stories about your day to day experience there. Of course, you’re welcome to continue chiming in on America politics. We just won’t send money overseas for that content.

I'm not very happy with the code quality and I think agents bloat abstractions, have poor code aesthetics, are very prone to copy pasting code blocks and it's a mess, but at this point I stopped fighting it too hard and just moved on. The agents do not listen to my instructions in the AGENTS.md files. E.g. just as one example, no matter how many times I say something like:
"Every line of code should do exactly one thing and use intermediate variables as a form of documentation"
They will still "multitask" and create complex constructs where one line of code calls 2 functions and then indexes an array with the result. I think in principle I could use hooks or slash commands to clean this up but at some point just a shrug is easier.
Yes I think LLM as a judge for soft rewards is in principle and long term slightly problematic (due to goodharting concerns), but in practice and for now I don't think we've picked the low hanging fruit yet here.

Guys, the AI layoffs are very real and are about to rip through organizations throughout the economy. Be prepared - and sad for those affected because it’s going to impact millions of people.

it's funny how the quality of the output of codex/cc could take you either way on AI risk...
incompetent -> maybe not that threatening after all
incompetent but powerful -> people ship it anyway, that's worse
every time they crack another problem, you hear "see, we're getting closer". but I suspect we're climbing the easy hill and mistaking it for the mountain
if you don't understand why something is hard, you can't predict when AI will crack it. and we don't.
