I like how Tyler Cowen puts it: "This is the worst they will ever be".

And some people are still stuck on what AI was capable of when GPT-3.5 was SOTA. They don't realize how much they've improved in ~4 years. Even if the rate of improvement slows down, AI will be tremendously more capable in another ~4 years.

I tried brainstorming what an agent harness for writers would look like.

I’m not convinced it’s possible. A good nights sleep and a notepad in a quiet room still feels like the state of the art toolchain for writers.

I use the shell script pattern. In bash the case statement at the bottom of your example can be replaced with this though:

  “${@:-default}” || usage

Yes exe.dev is the first cloud provider I actually enjoy using. It's easy to manage with just ssh and they give me real disks. The lack of real (EBS is still networked) persistent disks on ec2 instances causes me a lot of pain at $WORK.

This is a really ambitious and difficult idea. It would be awesome if they can pull it off!

Since most people live near a coast this could power more than just data centers.

I recently “fixed” my bash history since the default experience when using multiple terminals sucks.

I also use fzf to search my history I believe you just need so source the right keybindings file to make ctrl+r use fzf.

I’m currently using sunshine and moonlight for remote access to ros2 development VMs with passed through GPUs.

We needed an old version of Ubuntu hence the VM. And gpu pass through is needed for gazebo simulations.

I started with RDP but the desktop was super laggy and unresponsive. Sunshine/moonlight has made it usable.

This is a little pedantic but the pictures seem to show failing support columns not beams.

Beams are horizontal and columns are vertical.

GStreamer: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ is written in GObject which enabled some great tooling like gst-inspect-1.0: https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/tools/gst-in...

This. You can get very far with just dataclasses, enums, and functions. I use dataclasses like I would use structs in C or go.

Incus is great when developing ansible playbooks. The main benefit for me over docker/podman is systemd works out of the box in incus containers.
