I'm not sure what you are trying to express here. Is it "rich people shouldn't express their worldview" or "the idea that life is inherently meaningless is incorrect"? A younger me ingested this sentiment as a call to action to create the meaning I wanted in the world.

Sounds like you understand the problem. My read is that you have a likeable frenetic personality; it won't be for everyone but some people will be really attracted to it, best not to question it and just be yourself.

hey not to give unsolicited advice but to share my experience - it took me a long time to realize that I'm not anti-social, but just anti-party and anti-work social. I flourish in most other spaces - especially hobby spaces.

I'm not so sure I agree - well maybe I do, I meant literally feeling in my statement not merely understanding. e.g. I eat meat - but I can literally feel the cringing sadness and disgust of a vegan if I imagine their perspective, even if I disagree.

The other day someone described themselves to me as an 'empath' which was odd, because in the context of the discussion it was invalidating to hear. And ironic considering they hadn't forseen how I would take it.

Some people have ultimate confidence in their social judgements and the true sign of empathy is a kind of meta-empathy that allows you to consider truly alternative understandings of the world i.e. empathy for empathy.

Em dash , corny sub headings, numbered lists for no reason. I think some of this may be human written or edited, but it isn't passing my smell test. Sorry if this is mostly or all human written, but you have a very AI style.

At least subjectively, coffee seems to help my memory. But maybe that's why I started drinking coffee?

I would probably drop coffee it was proven to have negative effects on memory.

Fucking hell that's a funny line.

I mean possibly. I interact in the space and there is almost no information in a cancelled subscription. There is more information in how much you spent on takeaway.

Subscriptions are not a contract of payment. Your bank pre-authorizes these payments, simply ask them to remove pre-authorization. If they can't do that, then the bank is spending your money without your consent.

You haven't signed any agreement or opened any lines of credit - I would be amazed if there was any jurisdiction in the entire world where this would affect your credit.

bullshit - canceling the authorization will have no affect on your account at all, the subscription will just end.

And homer and the entire corpus of greek plays.

I've always been a bit embarrassed by the extent of my self-conciousness, but recently I'm starting to think of it as more of a virtue than a hindrance.

Believe it or not; it is an enormous luxury to be able to ignore politics.

Layers of abstraction. Most noticeably with inheritance and general OOP concepts. I've tried to force it, assuming it prefers a more functional or simple class style; but it genuinely struggles to generate (but not understand) what I might call a typical system in an OOP paradigm with well defined abstractions.

funny. people are probably more likely to know him as geohot here. and afaik he is ex-comma. a more likely motivation (if you wanted to suppose one) is that he sells local compute. https://tinygrad.org/#tinybox

They are not allowed in any school I've been to, especially during class.

My understanding is that these are already banned in most schools and the practical difference between enforcing this at a state or national basis is basically nonexistent vs simple local enforcement.

Given that it is the general consensus that a step function occurred with Opus 4.5/4.6 only 3 months ago - it seems like an insane omission.

Pete Hegseth: Hey Google, what are the best bits of Iran to bomb to maximize civilian damage?

No country will be truly coal-free until they are a net energy exporter and they do not import any goods that use coal-based energy in their supply chain. Europe has de-industrialized which means it has effectively exported its coal burden.

We are still in early days and I'm sure this isn't the best way to approach this but here is what I do.

1. Agent context with platform/system idiosyncrasies, how to access tools, this is actually kept pretty minimal - and a line directing it to the plan document.

2. A plan document on how to make changes to the repo and work that needs to be done. This is a living document pruned by the orchestrating agent. Included in this document is a directive written by you to use, update the document after ever run. Here also is a guide on benchmarking, regression, unit tests that need to be performed every time.

2a. When an agent has a code change it is then analyzed by a council of subagents, each focused on a different area, some examples, security, maintainability, system architect, business domain expert. I encourage these to be adversarial "red team". We sit in the core loop until the code changes pass through the council.

2b. Additional subagents to create documentation, build architecture diagrams etc.

2c. A suggested workflow is created on how to independently invoke testing, and subagent, etc.

Build a redteam into your feedback mechanism. Seriously. You've identified the problem and even solved it. Now automate it.

You have a fair perspective and I'm not going to try to move you from it. You have my exact opinion as of 3 months ago. I will just suggest you earnestly try it yourself.

Honestly people are in such a weird place with this shit. I'm not saying don't read the fucking code - but I managed to get my setup to write 100k lines of indistinguishable SWE code in a week or so. The main limitation was my reading speed. This is something like a 10x speedup for me.

The same is true with human engineers - isn't this just what engineering is?

I don't know if you deliberately cut-off the full point, but for the benefit of those with tired eyes I said 'feedback mechanisms', i.e. feedback in the control system sense.

It's starting to become obvious that if you can't effectively use AI to build systems it is a skill issue. At the moment it is a mysterious, occasionally fickle, tool - but if you provide the correct feedback mechanisms and provide small tweaks and context at idiosyncrasies, it's possible to get agents to reliably build very complex systems.
