It's pretty obvious that the author didn't write a single commit during development, they just squashed their commits into a single commit at the end.

I've been trying the iOS app today and its missing all of my active sessions from my laptop but has tons of old, no longer valuable sessions. And I enabled every 'show X' option/filter. Hope the app improves.

Hi, questions for you (perhaps they help guide a revamp of your marketing):

1) what benefits are there to my AI's memory having the property of being able to prove, cryptographically, what was stored and when? My first reaction is that this sounds like something that is probably expensive to achieve but that I don't intuitively grok the benefits of.

2) why should I allow you to decide the type system of my knowledge, and how flexible is your system to the possibility that you've got it wrong and this typeset is not the right design?: "Types include: fact (stable truths), state (mutable context), event (dated milestones), procedure (proven workflows and corrections), relation (links between concepts), domain, and task."

3) RE: "Session bootstrap is a single MCP tool call — memory_session_bootstrap — that loads relevant atoms, active procedures, Markov predictions, and conflicting facts at the start of every session. You pass your objective and it returns a pre-ranked, token-budgeted context block. Bootstrap uses both Markov arcs and knowledge graph edges for scoring" - it seems like bootstrapping sessions can be a very preference-based, personalized thing, in other words - different developers have a different opinion about what matters. Unless you can prove that your bootstrap methodology achieves some higher benchmark than any random person off the street's bootstrap technique/instructions to an agent, then I find it hard to trust this and want to pay for it over just writing my own agent instructions and triggering them with a CLI command or alias.

Can you expand a bit for people unfamiliar with Industrial Organisation planning?

I didn't make a claim humans have no free will, moreso that we cannot accurately judge our own motivations/drives.

It's a disaster from many quality of living standards (healthcare worker availability, funding for social safety net and social security and elderly care/retirement, ability for a society to fund new infrastructure or maintain existing infrastructure, etc).

Under another set of criteria (environmental concerns), it's probably a positive.

Respectfully, you don't know why you put off children. You may tell yourself a story of why you have, but for example if there was an environmental contaminant shaping population level stats on endocrines and hormones that reduced human sex drive and desire for children, you wouldn't necessarily be conscious of that.

University systems worldwide will need to consolidate and combine in order to preserve themselves, their rich collections and institutions, if they want to survive, because populations are plummeting globally.

an employee who gives so little of a shit that they refuse to use their brain to get a job?

Many many folks are the type that is willing to hard grind/suffer short-term to get through a hoop, but as soon as they are inside they turn that 'optimizer' mindset towards 'how can I do the minimum necessary to coast and collect my paycheck'.

And many many folks who are highly motivated to work hard every day at their job are not highly motivated to prepare for jumping through a hoop like a circus clown.

Pure speculation, probably they finally figured out the correct legal ToS and privacy policy and everything else that made them feel confident + some regulatory/lawmaker discussions reached a certain point that they finally decided they could do it? Does that add up?

It's not just that they do what they are told, whether that is low quality or high quality.

It's that if you don't have a way to measure quality yourself (you're not an expert), or if you don't ask for exact specific features/qualities even if you offer a high budget and ask for high quality, manufacturers absolutely will cut corners, do stupid things, etc. to increase their own margin at the expense of quality and just hope you are none the wiser.

The US had the same culture in certain periods and certain industries, so I am not suggesting it's some innate Chinese characteristic. The meat factories exposed in Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, where he documented unsanitary conditions, spoiled meat, rat infestations etc come to mind.

But one cannot just ignore that the China of today has had problems with fake baby formula, fake alcohol, fake medicine, fake everything and expect that that doesn't make its way into manufacturing of other classes of goods.

Why does the opinion of strangers especially anonymous strangers you'll probably never see again matter to you?

"Every 30 minutes, check Slack and Gmail for unanswered messages that need my attention.

Help me prioritize what matters most.

If someone asks me a question, research the answer as deeply as you can and draft a reply for me, but do not send it."

This is a very dangerous road to go down. You may feel like you are getting more done but end up living your life on autopilot, without any introspection or applying your own taste.

Someone who is neurodivergent (which is itself an umbrella term) may very well struggle to accurately detect the level of morale amongst their coworkers (or signs of low morale), or may have a more difficult time fostering the level of closeness to their coworkers to build the trust with those people that they'd be vulnerable and share their feelings of low morale.

Is Zuck just too...neurodivergent or lacking in social awareness or low EQ or whatever the case may be to understand morale? Or just so cut-throat/trusting that people who don't currently work there want the META paycheck badly enough that even if morale is horrible they can just backfill departures?

Or if you don't have time, Radians brand molded earplugs are at-home custom molded options.

it's fascinating that you imagine that building features for web applications is never "real work".

Yes I think it's hard.

OpenAI has already been proven to be easily gamed through very unsophisticated poisoning (fake information in a web page + an edit to a wiki page pointing at it, fake information in a reddit post), so I'm not sure we shoudl hold up their efforts at data cleaning as a gold standard.

congratulations, you have solved anti-scam. go make your billion since its easy.

That's a great attitude until slowly but surely 90% of apps used in day to day life won't function for you: banking, dating, social media, e-commerce, communication/messaging etc slowly freeze you out.

We throw away half of our food and waste it. If humans had less agricultural yield due to decrease in use of pesticides, we'd start to be more efficient with what we grow, and choose agricultural crops that are more efficient for generating calories and micronutrients per acre and per precipitation/sunlight/whatever.

We send rockets to the moon and every person is getting phones. We would survive without pesticides.

According to Gemini, CNT are dangerous to human health. Can any experts dispute this or give a reason we shouldn't be against the use of carbon nanotubes in industry?

"Carcinogenicity: Certain multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), specifically the straight, rigid MWCNT-7 (Mitsui-7) variety, are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans).

Mesothelioma: Long, rigid, needle-like CNTs can cause "frustrated phagocytosis," where macrophages are unable to engulf the fibers, leading to chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and mesothelioma-like growth in animal models.

Respiratory Damage: Inhalation exposure in rodents has consistently shown the development of pulmonary inflammation, granulomas (clumps of immune cells), and irreversible lung fibrosis (scarring).

Organ Toxicity: Beyond the lungs, studies have indicated potential toxic effects on other systems if CNTs enter the bloodstream or are ingested:

Liver: Can cause hepatocyte damage and oxidative stress.

Cardiovascular: Exposure has been linked to hypertension, heart rate changes, and increased plaque formation in animal models.

Neurological: Some types may cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially causing neuroinflammation."

I didn't claim the sky is falling with the use of AI in coding.

I claimed

basic security features like asking for user confirmation for bash commands, or restricting commands to the current directory

Do not currently reliably work. Not to the point that anyone concerned with security or reliability/not-having-their-env-fucked-up should trust these safeguards as standalones.

They don't work. Do not trust them. Run Claude Code in an isolated, disposable micro VM and assume it will break your environment, steal any available secrets, do destructive commands, etc. So don't give it any way to do that to anything you care about.

Apply that to any other war or arm's race. "The fact that the US' defense spending needs to grow linearly with China's is a damning indictment of the mindset of the vast ineffectual mess that is the defense industry".

Do you just expect one side to magically be more dollar-efficient than the other? I'm confused.

Wow, it seems I'm the fool here.

I'm on Version: 2.6.19.

Per https://cursor.com/docs/configuration/worktrees#how-is-this-...

They apparently removed this in 3.0. - I couldn't begin to guess why.

"Automatic management of worktrees was removed in Cursor 3.0 and replaced with the new commands /worktree and /best-of-n. We also have added worktree support for the Cursor CLI.

Management of worktrees is now fully agentic. This makes it simpler to support use cases such as starting an agent, and only doing work in a worktree later on in the chat's lifecycle.

/best-of-n makes comparing the results of multiple models much easier. The parent agent will provide commentary on the different results and you can pick the best one. Additionally, you can even ask the parent agent to merge different parts of the different implementations into a single commit.

If you had agents that were previously running in a worktree, those chats will still work. However, you will need to use the new commands to start new agents in worktrees."

A bit ironic to me to print the case with plastic which'll just end up degrading into microplastics over time, creating a more toxic environment. Like a toothbrush made of sugar or a mop made of charcoal.

That is my experience currently.

What's your assessment of AWS and GCP? Do you think it's likely they suffer from some of the same issues (eg the manual access of what should be highly secure, private systems, the instability, the lack of security)?

Saying it can't stay in between is like saying a company can't sell both regular bikes and electric bikes. Or bikes that can do both.
