Software engineers, or at least the well compensated ones, are living proof that some level of UBI is beneficial. Look at all the works we have collectively created just because we don't have to worry about basic needs and actually have enough time and energy left to do the things we care about. Imagine if other professions had such luxury. Teachers in particular I'm very curious about.

I also think that the Cambrian explosion age of FOSS will soon be over, now that well compensated software engineers are a dying breed.

Out of curiosity, why is this a PDF on acm.org? It reads like a blog post, but it's presented like a scientific paper? There's a few LLM-isms too, so I suspect some level of slop.

Don't get me wrong, the subject and abstract is a topic I relate with so I'll probably still read it. But curious if this is normal. I just want to know how much salt I need to use.

We've only had social media for ~10-20 years and already people are sick of it. The kids who grew up on it are sick of it. The experiment failed. Move the fuck on.

Yeah. Right after typing that I was reminded how much of a nightmare trying to recover access to an Apple account is. I recently had to do it for a friend and it was nerve wracking, there was a very real chance of being permanently locked out if you take the wrong step.

No password manager built-in yet. Although I suppose I really should migrate to Apple's native password manager nowadays.

Who cares about pressure when you can now receive enough compensation to never worry about getting re-elected ever again. You can even fuck off to some safe haven country to live the rest of your life in peace and comfort.

There are 8 billion people in the world. Doesn't matter how hard Silicon Valley wants it to be otherwise. People will continue to want and need people.

this counts towards ARR right? would be stupid not to

Does anyone here actually think OpenClaw is novel? I bet anyone on this forum can build it or has built some version of it already. The only reason he's up there giving a Ted talk and not you is he didn't let the better part of his judgement (i.e. shame) tell him not to release whatever he built to the public.

smh indeed

You forgot "losing access to Claude Code"

Yes. I love eating pieces of string. I'm partial to wool myself, really filling.

I suppose you're a cake enjoyer, miss Marie Antoinette?

lol no. They'll "rediscover" it and claim themselves as demigods.

But at that point why use Lisp (which LLMs have been so far still to struggle to get matching parens every now and then)

What made Lisp cool and powerful goes away when you do it through an LLM.

Recently got a typewriter and I'm practicing on "long form" writing. Basically an offline blog.

I continue to take photos with film, developing and scanning at home.

I see, I'm the same too. Throughout my day my thoughts would be flying and zooming around. Some of them good, most of them not good or otherwise useless.

When I sit down to try and write them down, I blank out. Or the thoughts that I thought were good/useful, I second guess when writing them down. Perhaps it's just lack of practice on writing them down (I'm trying to use a typewriter to do so recently).

Andrew didn't make the hit piece out of nowhere, unprovoked.

Jared, using Anthropic's multi-billion dollar microphone, painted Zig in a bad light with their first (denied) attempt to merge a vibecoded PR to improve Zig's build times.

Then very shortly after that failed attempt, about 11 days later I gather, Jared (again with help from Anthropic's very big microphone) made public the Zig-to-Rust port.

So unless you're planning on getting acquihired by Anthropic _and_ planning on porting away from Rust using their tools very publicly, I think you'll be safe from such pieces.

Fair. But in all 3 did you very quickly write down the solution as soon as you were able?

RIP. Where he's going, he won't need eyes. Wait, perhaps that was an inappropriate quote to use.

have you tried thinking for a long time without writing anything down?

No, no we need more technology, more software. How about webcams and LCD panels in place of the windows?

That's a lot of Tech CEOs!

Very considerate. But also, can we trust them that they're not downgrading without saying anything? The incentives are there, to bill at Mythos prices for Opus costs.

What does it say that it took 2 months to write the blog post? (or at least have it published)

Would be nice to have a distributed, independent AIs, each being trained their own way. Maybe it would have to be a really slow training process to keep costs low (years even?).

How do you know? Is it really that obvious of a tell between Opus and Fable? My understanding is that they silently downgrade you.

But this time it's with ~blockchain~ AI!

Ah yes, magical hypotheticals
