nullbio··on Stripe's Knowledge AI Platform
It sure feels like companies have lost their way now. It's no longer about high polish and quality, and all about volume of features. I don't think users want to be overwhelmed with features, they want things that work nicely, and consistently.
nullbio··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
It's night and day difference, for 3 days, until Anthropic nerf the model.
nullbio··on Anthropic classifiers prohibit kernel development
They're sugar coating it. They've been nerfing AI research and development for years now. Their claim that it's only "certain ML accelerators" is a bold-faced lie, coming from the company that lies incessantly.
nullbio··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
So I should look forward to the day I see my Reddit feed free of r/Fauxmoi propaganda? Or does Reddit get a free pass like it has with age verification? Because we're still able to browse Reddit without an account, for starters. They had a popup that it required an account to browse for about a week, then they reverted back to allowing everyone to browse without one because they lost too many viewers.

But this also highlights a greater problem: If you're allowing people to browse social media platforms without accounts, what algorithm applies in that case? Is that the government curated feed? Or is that the rage-bait feed designed to spur engagement and sign-ups?

nullbio··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
I think you meant to say: We intended on electing a central-left government, and got a far-left Fabian government.
nullbio··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
By opt-out they mean opt-in to a government curated algorithm, no doubt.
nullbio··on OpenAI is well positioned to fast-follow Jev
There are already open-weight versions of Jev that are equal or better performance, and can run on regular hardware. It took people 24 hours to create them. OAI could create Jev in a day if they wanted to.
nullbio··on Claude Opus 5.5
So stop using their models. The more money you give them, the more you are voting for this.
nullbio··on Claude Opus 5.5
I'm sure it's a good model, but I can't in good conscience sign up to Anthropic again given how they behave. What a shame.
nullbio··on We Write Code by Hand
Oh sweet, free backlinks. Thanks for the SEO.
nullbio··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
I probably wouldn't be able to for data privacy reasons unfortunately, unless it's using an open-weight model (if it is, let me know). But I wish you the best of luck!
nullbio··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
I use reusable components but the issue is that the model rarely checks to see if a component already exists. Or it will use the wrong one. Or if the component strays from the reusable component it doesn't extend it in a generalized way and will special case inline styles, or it'll create a new component. Rarely does it intelligently figure out the correct course of action.

I've also built up a suite of linter rules to catch the same mistakes the model makes over and over. Still, there are a lot of gaps. I think it's mostly because my codebase is massive at this point. It was easy when the codebase was small and didn't require context gathering to make good decisions.

nullbio··on Spain orders blocks on Archive.today and its mirrors
Corruption hates archives.
nullbio··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
I think a great use case for these will be when they have large context windows and are able to enforce styling rules for frontend development, and component creation rules for react. You can then ditch the styles guides and styling skills and create a decision tree for enforcing styling, so that you can't run into drift issues or duplication issues. That's where I'm wasting most of my time right now, constantly correcting all of the UX/UI issues that are created for every single feature.
nullbio··on Samsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM
Will consumers actually get to purchase it though? Or are they just doubling it for frontier AI labs?
nullbio··on I am often wrong
It makes him feel important and smart and powerful.
nullbio··on I am often wrong
It's because it's some weird form of virtue signalling/humble brag. Nothing genuine about it.
nullbio··on I am often wrong
Anthropic never listens to their customers or community. It's basically their culture at this point.
nullbio··on AX – Google’s Open Agentic Orchestrator
People can afford to run billions of concurrent agents?
nullbio··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
People still use Claude?
nullbio··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
People have found many nasties embedded in Claude Code over the last couple of years. You can't trust a closed source harness. You can barely trust an open source one.
nullbio··on ZCode, the GLM coding agent, silently uploads your Git history
OpenCode performs the worse on benchmarks out of all harnesses too.
nullbio··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
It explains why they were letting people use their model for free too.
nullbio··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
Is there actually any proof of this, beside this Claude written website and a random x post from some unknown person? Would be nice to have confirmation from someone with a reputation. It's probably true, but you never know...
nullbio··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
Evidently there's not a single inference provider that can be trusted. This is why I don't use OpenRouter either. How am I supposed to trust all of those random providers I've never heard of, when I can't even trust the ones I have heard of? Day by day, the entire industry is hellbent on proving that open-weights and self-hosting is the only safe path forward for us all.
nullbio··on Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap
You have a very strange definition of expert. Most people do not have a Wikipedia page, and most experts do not have a Wikipedia page.
nullbio··on Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap
https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=search_authors&... Is this?

Or perhaps a Google Scholar means jack shit? Since when is that the official measure of an expert.

nullbio··on Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap
Seems to be a fair deal of astroturfing going on for some unknown reason. I can't tell if it's intentional to drum up controversy, or it's genuine because people are bitter about this for some reason.
nullbio··on Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap
I'm curious, have you actually tried Bend (for more than 5 minutes)? Or are you more of an expert on this topic than the author who has been deeply immersed in this for 10 years, after it's single day of release? From an outsiders perspective it feels like this is personal to you, and you're being unfairly critical.
nullbio··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
It's not the fact that they scraped the knowledge and used it to train a model. It's the fact they're trying so desperately to corner the market so that we're all reliant on them and only them, and have no means to free ourselves.
