soo... i have no kept up with what's gone on in russia/ukraine. Are those drone videos what i think they are – drones sneaking up on humans and, presumably, ceasing them of life?

edit: Ok, I googled the guy

  and Ted Kaczynski who believe that technology is harming us and the world.

God I hatelove this type of comment. You're totally right, but it's a complete repudiation of my initial reflex, which is to make a mockery of this.

Great perspective. I'm going to do this. Haha.

Please do so. And, forgive me if I speak heresy, but there has to be more proof of work (friction) to create accounts. I was shocked at how easy it is for something like chatgpt atlas to create new accounts on the fly.

I'm tired of arguments like this. If AI is helping you do work that you would have otherwise have had to pay people to do, then it is replacing white collar work.

Can we please, please move past this generation of bean-counter CEOs. Google and Apple have done great things under Pichai and Cook, and yet I couldn't been less excited for what either is doing.

Bring back experimental culture.

I like this. It reminds me of the interesting type of experimentation that was done with LLMs before agentic coding took over as the primary use case.

I am interested in seeing a personal version of this. Help people work out their own brain knots to make decision-making easier. I'm actually decent at mending fences with others. Put making decisions myself? Impossible.

The Codex App 6 months ago

I have a very hard time getting worked up over this. There are a ton of entrants in this category, they all generally look the same. Cribbing features seems par for the course.

The Codex App 6 months ago

Codex Monitor seems like an Antigravity Agent Manager clone. It came out after, too.

Bunch of the features u listed were already in the codex extension too. False outrage it its finest.

Obviously horrendous but why isn’t this person monitoring his site?

Also, why do people use vercel nowadays? I’m sure there are reasons, but I moved over to railway (you can insert alternative provider here) and I no long f* around trying to fix page load time due to cold starts, I have predictable pricing, and my sites on railway are fast so much faster. Plus, if cost is a factor, railway offers serverless. It’s not as shiny as vercel, but nextjs works perfectly on it.

It astounds me that vercel has positioned themselves as a sanctuary city for normies and yet, the city is littered with landmines and booby traps.

counterpoint:

- The readme is two lines and has six words, one of which is a typo.

- Claude would never commit a node_modules folder unless coerced.

It’s disrespectful to casually call things AI-generated. I wish people would do it less unless they have 1) proof and 2) a meaningful reason for it.

I was in the market looking for some fun iOS games, things that I could play casually, pick up in a moment, load quickly, and not be burdened by the ridiculousness of modern gameplay and incentive mechanics. To my surprise, it was very hard. I couldn’t find anything. This is exactly what I’m looking for.

Google AI overviews are often bad, yes, but why is youtube as a source necessarily a bad thing? Are these researchers doctors? A close relative is a practicing surgeon and a professor in his field. He watches youtube videos of surgeries practically every day. Doctors from every field well understand that YT is a great way to share their work and discuss w/ others.

Before we get too worked up about the results, just look at the source. It's a SERP ranking aggregator (not linking to them to give them free marketing) that's analyzing only the domains, not the credibility of the content itself.

This report is a nothingburger.

This applies to both physical and digital goods. I've tried to think hard about how to keep my digital life in order in a way that my kids will be understand to make some sense of. I'm not there yet but I am mindful of it.

Trying to explain the sentimental value of your belongings to others is like trying to explain a dream.

If you're remotely interested in this type of stuff then scan papers arxiv[0] and you'll start to see patterns emerge. This article is awful from a readability standpoint and from an "does this author give me the impression they know what they're talking about" impression.

But scrap that, it's better just thinking about agent patterns from scratch. It's a green field and, unless you consider yourself profoundly uncreative, the process of thinking through agent coordination is going to yield much greater benefit than eating ideas about patterns through a tube.

I totally agree with you. Running a cheapo mac mini with full permissions with fully tracked code and no other files of importance is so liberating. Pair that with tailscale, and being able to ssh/screen control at any time, as well as access my dev deployments remotely. :chefs kiss:

This is a nice technical account that we're used to seeing from Simon.

I get a kick out of the fact that Microsoft has been preciously clinging to the "Copilot" branding and here comes Claude coming saying "Cowork? Good enough for us!".

Taking a step back, I really would love to see a broader perspective -- an account of someone who is not tech savvy at all. Someone who works a basic desk job that requires basic competency of microsoft word. I'm so deep into the bubble of AI-adjacent people that I haven't taken stock of how this would or could empower those who are under-skilled.

We've taken it as truth that those who benefit most from AI are high-skilled augmenters, but do others see some lift from it? I'd love if anthropic tried to strap some barely-performing administrative assistants into these harnesses and see if there's a net benefit. For all I know, it's not inconceivable that there be a `rm -rf` catastrophe every other hour.
