Interestingly every time I go assuming I have a cavity my doctor (specialized in dental aesthetics) friendly explains to me that I don't have any and proceeds to not do anything. Still charges for it though. I guess that's a solution for the overprescription problem.

omp+0x-alpha beat both cc+fable and codex-sol in creating/refactoring a big eval setup. the former just knows where things should belong and completed the task all the way while the other two failed on both metrics.

how are you handling schema updates? do you migrate jobs or handle worker deployments in a specific way?

This is broadly accurate, but if anyone feels like freaking out and quickly needs an antidote to the "high" class of sociopath grifters, perhaps could find some solitude in Wim Wenders' Perfect Days for a few hours.

While I mostly agree with the grim conclusion, I think there's an important aspect ignored that in every domain the very first and very best brands could leverage as good design and purpose: art and fun.

Remember winamp skins?

"The purpose of art is to impart the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. The technique of art is to make objects 'unfamiliar', to make forms difficult, to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged." - Shklovsky on defamiliarization

What pg is really writing about is enshittification, consumerism.

ppl are so sensitive. it's not impolite to be direct. why would you be wasting each other's time by "dear, sincerely etc" every single time.

Honestly this is the best way to learn about inverse problems and it's what made convolution click for me a few years ago.

sub-agents that access (and manipulate) the SAME context (a file system or variables in the REPL)

File system access is a must tho, that's where half the power of coding agents come from: efficiently managing context files.
