On your side here!

The clutch (and the potential to money shift your transmission) is _fun_, but not the reason that I want a stick shift - when pushing a car beyond normal limits just having control of when it shifts is enough. That being said, the up/down gate is just no fun! Plus, it lacks any feedback on what gear you're in.

understand?

It's really easy to understand that everything is typed as Any/Object/whatever upper bound type your statically-typed language of choice uses.

Desiring something better does not mean a lack of understanding of the status quo.

something something you're paid the amount the market values your work, which in today's job market is an order of magnitude less than the profit you bring the company

I don't have an account but my colleauges do as my company uses the platform.

By self-service, do you mean that the SDK generators are now source-available so they can be run by end users locally?

Every object in git (commit, tree, revision of a single file) has a hash that is guaranteed unique within a repository (otherwise many more things than a web UI would break) and likely also globally. I can understand wanting to isolate repositories to prevent hash collisions from causing problems, but within a repo everything has a universally unique ID.

edit: for instance, that specific VERBS.md is represented by the blob 3b9a46854589abb305ea33360f6f6d8634649108.

While it would be a hilarious failure mode to encounter, this is actually a good thing!

These models already have the skills that humans were using them for, so either by training the models to use subagents or simply inlining the work done by the AI, you have a much easier time training the model to perform tasks from a human-distribution. The humans have done the work of making the human-distribution look more like an AI distribution.

  nah: Actor-Critic Models
  ayy: Actor Model
In seriousness, huge fan! multi-agent systems are inherently distributed systems, and we've solved the problem of organizing distributed systems before through actors.

...Just wait until we get multi-agent systems with enough agents to need distributed consensus!

recover()'s semantics make it so that "pointless" use like this can be inlined in a way that changes its semantics, but "correct" use remains unchanged.

Yes, maybe some code uses recover() to check if its being called as a panic handler, and perhaps `go fix` should add a check for this ("error: function to be inlined calls recover()"), but this isn't a particularly common footgun.

I'm not sure I agree... while I don't ever see myself writing papers with AI, I hate wrangling a bibtex bibliography.

I wouldn't trust today's GPT-5-with-web-search to do turn a bullet point list of papers into proper citations without checking myself, but maybe I will trust GPT-X-plus-agent to do this.

When I lived in Texas, we had a massive storm in winter of 2021 leaving many without power for a week.

I was told that Texas maintained its own energy grid independent from the rest of the nation’s eastern and western grids, and supposedly only had a handful of high-voltage DC lines running between Texas’s and the rest of the nation’s. Supposedly this was why we couldn’t rely on excess capacity from anywhere else in the nation while our power generation capability was down.

But this map doesn’t seem to show Texas as isolated - there appear to be many lines in and out and no clear separation?

I don’t understand why you want to enforce only using the public key instead of private key - while I believe you that as of now browsers do not disclose the public key anywhere, I’d also suspect that this is far more likely to be violated and accidentally disclosed by a bug than the private key, which theoretically cannot ever leave the TPM.

Would KDF(deterministic_sign(“well-known message”)) not also provide valid entropy?

Is it just impossible to force a nonce for a deterministic signature?
