My follow-up: I'm grateful for the advice from commenters. I perhaps should have specified that my issue isn't insomnia, it's sleep procrastination, which gets a lot less sympathy.

I think the question is fair. I don't tend to drink caffeine after about 5pm so had kinda written this off as a potential.

My thought exactly. For people who struggle with this, and conventional wisdom doesn't seem to stick, what are we supposed to do?

I think 99% of the commenters in this thread seem totally tone deaf to the article and the phenomenon being attacked by geohot. Granted, he doesn't articulate it well, but as you say, these aren't new concepts and much better introduced by Nick Land, Mark Fisher, Byung-chul Han etc.

Maybe don't fill your games with ads and release them on restrictive, exploitative platforms?

I don't really buy this. From my personal experience, indie devs are more likely to use methods which make their server tech distributable (e.g. Minecraft). Large game publishers appear to go in the opposite direction for control and lineage reasons: "Crew 1 is dead so you need to buy Crew 2 now".

Anyone who gamed before 2005 knows that games do not require magic, expensive, managed remote services. We all used to run our own servers! The GameSpy era!

I couldn't agree more. Socratic methodologu, domain modelling, systems thinking, pipes-and-arrows problem solving etc. These are the skills that get real work done in coding agents these days.

My partner recently bought a receipe book that was probably 100% slop, from the recipes themselvea to the images for each dish.

Ok, but that doesn't really address "pernicious". I understand pursuits of philosophy are inherently concerned with truth, but does not truth mean pernicious? My experience of reading philosophers is limited; is Rovelli just a materialist and that's that? Is this positivism?

It is time to give up the pernicious dualism introduced by the debate on consciousness and embrace the reality that our soul, or our spiritual life, is consistent with our fundamental physics.

Why is it pernicious?

I think the judgement angle is the only interesting part of this article, and the piece worth pursuing is automating the judgement where possible.

Callable skills can’t activate on a schedule or listen for events

I feel like they can. cron and git hooks have existed for a long time.

There is something uncanny about the way you've phrased your comment, as if to suggest nothing about what Tesla did was wrong.

I've heard rhetoric like "we have to use LLMs to stay competitive now" which attempts to justify the cost

Could be wrong but I guess it more likely communicates with the charger. The car will always try to draw if it's plugged in, but most chargers can be switched on ("charge") and off ("don't charge") remotely. It's probably quite trivial to have something watch the price of power and on/off as appropriate

Is global economic collapse not an eschatological scenario?

When you say "everything is still getting better", what do you mean? Because the price of fuel and food, isn't getting better. It seems to be getting worse. Your version of "reality" doesn't seem to reflect the experience of a lot of people.

people will buckle down and sort it. It's an interesting series of words that don't say a lot. There is much to wonder about.

Bozhidar always writes like this. I can see why you would think it's AI style but I would vote that it isn't. Look at some of his pre-AI blogs, if you care to.

How can you combat one unprovable framing by insisting on another unprovable framing?

Please can you link to a video of it being used?

Wow, I wrote a system very similar to the author that seems to becoming the defacto for ground-up multi-agent terminal workflows. git worktrees + tmux + claude hooks

To put an economic spin on this (that no one asked for), this is also the capitalist nirvana. I don't have an immediate citation but from my experience software engineer salary is usually one of the biggest items on a P&L which prevents the capitalist approaching the singularity: limitless profit margin. Obviously this is unachievable but one of the major obstacles to this is in the process of being destablised and disrupted.

I appreciate your response, and I will confess to a certain bias as at some point I think I made the leap of acceptance of AI, in the sense of "this is how it's going to be from now on so I better get on board with it".

Spot on. These are the exact tools I was referring to. They seem a little un-magical but the real value is the boilerplate they provide for context management. Essentially allowing coding agents to perform at their beat. For what it's worth, Taches is my tool of choice.

I am going to give a predictable rebuttal. Many of these articles come from a place of fear and uncertainty, which is completely understandable. We ascribe value to the things we love, we love coding and therefore coding is valuable. But if it's commoditized how can it be valuable anymore? This alone is enough to shake the tree of rationality and most articles, including this one, set out with a mission of bashing a force they don't really understand. One signature of these articles, as I have noticed, is that they talk about AI writing code fairly reasonably but then insist that without a clear mental view of it, how could it ever be understood, or debugged, or optimised? This simply illuminates the lack of experience with the tools. Anyone who's used Ralph or Taches skills will understand this is a non-problem because well-attuned, AI-first codebases are actually very good at debugging, optimising, and will happily relay to you the model they've used, so that your grey matter can understand it.

We are optimising for reducing loneliness, remember.

Is this your first-hand experience?

This is a bit too "plugged in" for my liking. If I am in line for coffee, it's usually respite away from work, not an opportunity to do more. However, I do love the tmux + worktree + claude setup. I use this now and I know a few peers who do too and it's very enabling. This is what work feels like these days: cycling through agents, each working on a task, checking their work, unblocking them.

This comment is harmfully lazy. Is your position that a three word prompt is equivalent to armchair trolls goi g through the funnel - finding a way to obtain DRM-controlled software, learning that software to sufficient levels to understand the tools required of how to perform something akin to a deep fake, and then somehow gaining the art talent and experience required to put it into practice? Did I just get baited?

What do you mean by "no understanding of the text"?

As some one who constantly chats to AI about an array of topics, I can immediately see the value in this. Thank you for building this. As other commentators have already said, I also predict a frosty reception but please don't lose heart. This is cool and will make people become better writers.

I actually really like the idea of a Digital Services Provider Ombudsman, who you can go to if you feel like you've been wronged by a big tech corp. They have a "way in" that consumers potentially don't, and they have the capacity to levy fines in certain circumstances. I love this! What's preventing this from happening, other than no governmental pressure to make it happen? I might write to my MP...
