Claude Code certainly not as easy to engineer with, though it is less expensive. For instance the @feature isn’t as robust as cursors ime. Also no shift+enter is quite a pain. Linting doesn’t “just work”, cursor with Claude 4.0 max is really thorough, I think even better than GPT-5. Not that Sonnet is better but that whatever “ensemble” of models cursor uses with sonnet seems to both adhere and tool call better than with GPT-5. GPT-5 often says what it will do and then says “say go and I’ll go” or says “you should run command x”, but doesn’t just DO it. Also for bug fixes in difficult codebases nothing beats Gemini 2.5 pro

My favorite thing to ask is ascii art: _ _ _ __ ___ _ __ ___ __ _ __| (_) ___ | '_ \ / _ \| '_ _ \ / _ |/ _ | |/ __| | | | | (_) | | | | | | (_| | (_| | | (__ |_| |_|\___/|_| |_| |_|\__,_|\__,_|_|\___|

What does this say?

GPT 5:

When read normally without the ASCII art spacing, it’s the stylized text for:

markdown Copy Edit _ _ _ __ ___ _ __ ___ __ _ __| (_) ___ | '_ \ / _ \| '_ ` _ \ / _` |/ _` | |/ __| | | | | (_) | | | | | | (_| | (_| | | (__ |_| |_|\___/|_| |_| |_|\__,_|\__,_|_|\___| Which is the ASCII art for:

rust — the default “Rust” welcome banner in ASCII style.

Easy "By Appointment only" or "rate limited to authenticated users" done.

Also I think you need a 40GB "card", not just 40GB of vram. I wrote about this upthread, you're probably going to need one card, I'd be surprised if you could chain several GPUs together.

A 3090 + 2xTitanXP? technically i have 48, but i don't think you can "split it" over multiple cards. At least with Flux, it would OOM the Titans and allocate the full 3090

What are the token prices?

The harder part is “test invalidation”. For instance if a feature no longer makes sense, the human / test validator must painstakingly go through and delete obsolete specs. An idea I’d like to try is to “separate” the concerns; only QA agents can delete specs, engineer agents must conform to the suite, and make a strong case to the qa agent for deletion.

This is probably the best thing I’ve ever read about predictions of the future. If we could run 80 parallel universes then sure it would make sense. But we only have the one [1]. If you’re right and we get fast takeoff it won’t matter because we’re all dead. In any case the number is meaningless, there is only ONE future.

It really is the worst name, unsearchable and so overloaded. But it's been an awesome tool. I hope they rename it.

Agree in principle, but when evaluated against the competition and likely acquisition targets of Wix, it's certainly not garbage. I've seen it vibe code an entire app that was -- admittedly mostly working -- and deploy it with a prompt of 5 words, in about 2 minutes.

Base44 is absolutely not garbage. I’ve tried it and can say it’s as good or better of a vibe-builder than Lovable or Bolt. Have you benchmarked it against the competition or can you otherwise substantiate the “garbage” claim? FWIW I do know one amazing engineer using Windsurf

It does scale. Just not to recall levels of traffic. Come on guys let's not rewrite everything in cassandra and rust now.

And why not? Check Kaisers bottom line, they’re not exactly hurting. Same for many hospitals. Also tech is not yet hiring doctors anyway and if there’s a true shortage of medical pros then by all means there will be cash to pay them.

If you care to read some cases, this link is informative https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2020-01-23/debates/B8A.... You don’t have to be on “soil” to break these laws. The US certainly extradites loads of people from other countries who still reside there and only broke laws either “online” or through transactions involving the US

IANAL but this argument doesn't seem to be on firm footing due to the extradition laws on the books. Technically I can violate a UK law while in the US and indeed be subject to their jurisdiction.

indeed, this is screaming for a leaderboard and eventual Geoguesser. Sadly I do believe the reasoning models can one shot this? Maybe would take away all the fun

Pretty good. Reminds me of the Sword of Jupiter (Imperium series).

Domain underwriting / frontrunning isn’t likely to be profitable / worth the reputational risk.

I recently worked with a friend on an electrical rewiring job. There’s no way robots as they’re currently being developed have anywhere near the dexterity and vision + motor skills required to do electrical work in an average home built for humans up until probably 2030…and I don’t think they ever will. I’m willing to make a long bet on that. What I would bet on is new structures being built that are “robot ready” and that more and more of the housing stock is built like that, but given the pace of coding ( building code updates ) I don’t see that happening for another 20 years.

More importantly, why don't adults give up names that clearly put them at an economic disadvantage? The same reason people don't sell houses when they are almost always a bad investment; pride, sunk-costs, sentimentalism or other reasons for their subjectivity.

Not just end of ZIRP, not just Agentic AI / Vibe Coding being effective [1], but also:

"Software development is now considered a Section 174 R&D expenditure. This means it must be capitalized and amortized over 5 years (15 years for foreign software development)."

If any one of these were the case you'd have tens of thousands of previously gainfully employed swes out of work. But ALL of them became the case and pretty much in the last 3 years.

[1] - Let's just say I'm a believer

Super cool! Looks small enough to still be grokkable!

Still trying to understand what this does… I think you need a demo vid front and center.

8x the cost for maybe 5% improvement?

I never did like JetBrains primary product, IntelliJ. It felt clunky even compared to Eclipse for Java, let alone VSCode for … everything. DataGrip is the lone standout imo, but as of the last update I paid for, it didn’t have even basic copilot

I actually lol-ed at that. It's like asking the inventor of a religion who goes to heaven.

Mech-basketball is a different game than basketball. There would be an entirely new metagame. I just watched Magnus Carlsen get checkmated in 7 moves in magic chess, a move even a 10 year old could find ( vs GM Hansen if you want so see it ).

Another analogy:

"A good archer is going to be an amazing sharpshooter and therefore I only want to field archers (with guns) as soldiers", might be a horrible way to run a modern military.

This "the best at the old thing will be the best at the new thing too!" needs to die in a fire.

If you and Lebron both had mech-suits you'd be equal in strength. Actually you might find that maybe you communicate better with the machine as you've had to communicate a lot more for work and have further refined those neural patterns. So actually, I would expect those with exceptional communication skills and creativity to be the best able to take advantage of AI. In a world where functional code in any language can be spat out at 1000 tokens/s, it matters a lot more that you can communicate your vision than understanding the inscrutable byte-level architecture of ARM-64 or how to write a CUDA kernal, or how to use a static class properly.

From the name I thought i could find "pain points" in my own software. However what this is more like "Solve Real Problems" finder. In that case I think I like this a bit more!

I think you should think about the name a bit more, or at least the hero should say something like SOLVE REAL PROBLEMS REAL PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE.
