Small nitpicky correction, but in China, city tiers are designated by policy and generally correlate to the quality of life for the middle class there. The US doesn't have a tier system. If it did, it wouldn't make much sense because the quality of life in American suburbs and exurbs is generally better than the most developed cities (unless you're rich, of course).
Free, clean toilets are everywhere in America, just not in the dense city centers (walkable, transit-oriented, mid-rise or higher) that people tend to visit on vacation. I'd estimate only 10-15% of Americans live in these city centers, whereas in China it's probably closer to 50%. With the raw numbers, this difference shouldn't be underestimated.
My org's GitHub Enterprise never goes down. The feature set is almost the same, though it lags a few months behind. At least you don't have to learn anything new.
My convictions are pretty hollow because I'm demonstrating the pointlessness--or arbitrariness, if you like--of gatekeeping the ranks of the "well-educated," as the author tries to do here.
> This of course is the cornerstone of Western culture and no well-educated person can be without a knowledge of what is in [the Bible].
Knowing what's in the Bible isn't sufficient. You need to understand the full genealogy of the Judeo-Christian tradition.
You need to understand Canaanite cults, the broad influence of both Zoroastrianism (via the Achaemenid Empire) and Hellenism, and how these cultures converged to form proto-Judaistic clerical class (or at least something like it), which eventually crystallized into the synagogue tradition and "modern" Jewish practice during the Hasmonean Dynasty.
If one builds something with an agent, the process itself is largely opaque. Preserving the transcript shows the reasoning of the agent and the decision process of the builder. This way everyone's on the same page instead of re-prompting same CLAUDE.md but with different results, and/or going through similar work over and over again.
Exactly. They're rejecting 85% of applicants because they're not qualified, but the 15% they admit are, by and large, not qualified either. I'm at one of Michigan's peer institutions, and we have the same problem.
Whatever the legitimate issues were, the letter undermines its own credibility with its overbearing and self-righteous tone. Aside from Determinate Systems and the Anduril bit, the complaints lack specificity. The Blueskyisms thrown around here are just as indicative of "cultural problems" as anything else, assuming these views are representative of the community.
I wondered this too. Also, the duration of the task depends on the quality of the prompt and the model used. I have a feeling a lot of these day-long tasks are bogged down by suboptimal tool use and on-demand python slop.
I've been using it for a week or so. The main draw for me is that I can keep my sessions in one database regardless of the model/provider I use. The webapp can access everything remotely, which is convenient when I'm on my phone.
I haven't gotten a chance to test the multi-agent capabilities, but the DeepSeek Flash prices are so low that I probably will soon.
Trump was elected because of rural/exurban white insecurity and white cultural decline. An election wasn't the cause of all this--it was more of an effect.
In other words, even if there's a feedback loop, an election won't magically fix everything.
It feels like there could be an entire longform piece on how "modern" web development norms arose because hobbyist/student web developers learned everything in an ad-hoc, local environment without access to, you know, a development server or a mature software stack.
I've been using Herdr for a while now, but I'd like a multiplexer that's also a meta-harness that I can connect to remotely. I know others have setups that work, I just haven't quite figured it out yet.
I see your point, but Anthropic and OpenAI are not only less efficient, they have much higher operating expenses because of their massive AWS/GCP spending (due to not owning it) and have more capital expenditures than everybody else. It's not comparable to third-party providers making some profit on the margin.
Exactly. The more competitive the space is, the more important it is that products purposefully support 3rd-party providers. Now that people are increasingly switching from Anthropic/OpenAI for inference reseellers and on-prem compute, transparency and portability will be the new values, not being slightly better than the next agent or model.
Their marketing materials emphasize inter-agent communication, but that's hardly unique to Antigravity. Either way, it's not BYOK, so there's already a substantial reason not to use it if you're deploying multiple agents.
There's no evidence they're making money, and we already know from the projected datacenter capacity in a few years that there will be for more supply than demand, so the major providers will have to repay that debt. Even if they are making money on inference, it's nowhere near enough to cover the bill. It's a losing proposition either way, especially with Chinese models now in play.

I wouldn’t assume the cause of the replication crisis is 100% due to a lack of rigor in psychology and the other relevant fields. These fields deal with concepts and phenomena that are often abstract and difficult to measure. In some sense, it’s just harder.
Besides, deciding what is and isn’t science is a question for the philosophy of science, not science itself.
