My team rotates 1 sacrificial member every week to be on call with prod k8s access. It limits who can just push things to prod at any given time while making sure everyone on the team has experience. If someone is out sick or on vacation we do time trading, it works out for everyone.

It's pretty obvious to me when someone just copy pastes claude spew onto a website and calls it a day. If they put in enough effort that I can no longer tell then sure, I will read that.

Yeah it's pretty obvious now. But look at the improvements Anthropic made to Opus 5.5. It went from physically painful to read, to kind of annoying but tolerable. I wouldn't bet on it taking a long time to reach high quality prose.

Btw it is kind of weird how it still can't write prose normally but it can write impressively high quality code now. Must be something to do with their training. Or maybe it's easier to quantify good code.

And this time next year I'll have 365 wives, and my CPU will run at 2 terrahertz.

Development and improvement is often very non-linear, assuming you can extrapolate forever is just as much guesswork as claiming it'll never change.

Just a few more hundred billion and it’ll be good, trust me bro.

Uhm yeah probably. Are you suggesting that LLMs have been stagnant despite investment?

I don't understand your point. They're getting better so quickly it's hard to keep up.

Personal perception will never be a reliable way to detect text written by LLMs, especially when people guide those LLMs with specific rules and instructions. It's virtually impossible. What you'll experience instead is your bias growing to the point where nothing will seem human-written anymore. You'll start assuming all text was generated by AI. It's pure AI paranoia.

x86 has a built in instruction for doing AES. That's just moving the ASIC into the CPU core, not eliminating it.

Is there any cryptocurrency that uses AES?

I hate the word crypto, very ambiguous. In my professional life it almost always refers to cryptography.

On Android I use Firefox despite the rough edges simply because the usability gain of the mobile web with ublock Origin is insane. Also it's nice sending tabs between desktop and mobile.

Could even run on the computers at my middle school, nobody thought to block it

Validating that a path on a grid doesn't move through impassable objects is definitely much cheaper than running a pathfinding algorithm, especially on 2004 hardware. You'd have to make those checks as well in order to run the pathfinding.

Other countries are free to find a way to incentivize building home-grown equivalents and prioritizing that software or even applying tarrifs to foreign software.

One of the reasons I loved learning Helix is that it shows you the list of possible next keypresses every time you press the first key in a combo. Amazing for discoverability. It even works for user defined shortcuts!

It feels so degrading talking to the bot. Last time I did it I was trying to upgrade my service to take advantage of a 2.5GbE modem I bought and I almost said screw it because it was so frustrating with the long pauses after everything I said!

We're using grok and while I can usually understand the comments they're always at least 2x as verbose as they need to be. It loves explaining everything in two different ways, putting one of the explanations in parenthesis.
