I’d love to see a recording of this in action for a complicated question.

This article also reads with many LLM-isms, so I can’t tell if a human actually produced it.

I wish a human would’ve written the overview.

Nonetheless, this is disturbing.

This drives me nuts as well. I hate also hate when LLMs use plan-document references in comments/doc strings too. “Landed in stage 1…”

I have a lot of CLAUDE.md rules to restrict this stuff, but realize the “encapsulation” language is something I’m missing.

Dick Cheney passed away in 2025, just an FYI.

Agreed. I am working hard to restrict myself to only 1-2 agent workflows at a time. More is untenable, though it’s so easy to fall into the trap of deploying an agent “just for this minor fix.”

I mean, have you looked for examples of things that people using local models to build and ship? Or are you just assuming it doesn’t happen?

I’ve used Qwen 3.6 27B for many things at work, and I’m regularly able use it for reasonably scoped tasks.

I’m not saying these models are perfect.

But you are complaining about people on the extreme, while at the same shouting from the opposite extreme.

Thanks for sharing. Were you able to resolve the Lyme?

Commenting for future reference in case OP ever responds. Would love to learn more

Have you tried audiobooks?

Interesting idea. What languages do you support? Can it be used without a subscription?

Sounds very Hemingway.

OP might benefit from using https://hemingwayapp.com/

This doc on Ilya Sutskever & Geoffrey Hinton gives a great background on the progression of deep learning over the past decades [0].

Tl;dr - compute was the bottleneck.

I am not associated with this channel/video, just love it. I’ve shared it here before.

Would you be willing to share the annotated example? I’m stunned to hear this, I didn’t know that vision had become so capable.

From pictures alone? What are some examples?

This is awesome OP.

Others interested in this but on iOS could check out Hank Green’s Focus Friend app.

The one I hate the most is, “And this is what most people miss:”

Interesting idea.

It’s almost like a buffer space would be useful for code.

I’ve been using tuicr for agent code reviews and have been enjoying that. I think I’ll try your idea as part of my workflow.

Agreed it looks beautiful in those vids. It feels like almost more of a dance than something that might “work on the street”.

Hopefully not offensive, just my layman observation.

Fair point, wasn’t considering it from this angle.

Do you use Claude code on your machine? That seems mostly vibe coded

Oh my god, my two worlds just had an insane collision.

I learned speed cubing from badmefisto when I was in middle school, ~16yr ago (today my ao100 is ~15s).

I never knew it was Karpathy. What an insane knowledge drop. Thanks for sharing!

Curious what you mean by killing it? Products? Model quality?

Yes, the term is “sacrificed” is unfortunately used today in many research labs in the US.

My advisor had a *strict* policy against people using that terminology in the lab and in his department.

“We sometimes euthanize or kill animals in a part of the difficult process of research. We do not sacrifice them - we are not making offerings to some deity. We are conducting research, not participating in a religion.”

“Sacrifice” is a euphemism that serves only to disconnect the ethical and emotional burden of killing animals for research [0].

And I deeply sympathize with your ethical and emotional guilt. The research I did in my PhD contributed to the foundational knowledge in my field, but not without severe and serious tolls. The way people become normalized to euthanasia in research environments is scary.

Would you be willing to pitch why you like jj and find it useful? How were you using git?

I use git mostly on single-dev projects, with branched development patterns.

Would someone like me with a simple git use-case find JJ enjoyable?

GP said “can no longer exist”.

Listing a few challenges of a phoneless life doesn’t negate the point that one can still exist without a phone, even in 2026.

This was very touching, thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss.

“Has my brain settled” I feel this.

I started meditating recently (~10mins per day) and have found it to be surprisingly effective. It’s a combination of body scanning & mindfulness meditation.

It doesn’t always help, but tends to.

This video gives a great overview of the history of the acceleration:

Although it’s focused on Ilya, some great history is covered.

Yep I bewilders me when I see instructions like this. Go bad and edit your previous message if you didn’t et what you want!

I think this is a direct result of OpenAI and Anthropic humanizing these models too much.

I want C-3PO by my side helping me work, not a machine acting emotional.

But that’s what they’ve given us, and now a huge fraction of the username treats these tools like a human.

But how do you know they’re not lying to you? What are your benchmarks for this? Experience? Anecdote? Data?

And I’m asking you in good faith - not trying to argue.

I’m thinking about these types of questions on a daily basis, and I love to see others thinking about them too.
