It's somewhat hard to say for sure right? Most people don't post a blog post when they themselves brick their computer.

Having said that, a PleaseDontDoAnythingStupidEval would probably slow down agentic coding quite a bit and make it less effective given how reliant agents are on making and recovering from mistakes. The solution is probably sandboxes and permission controls to not let them do something overly stupid, no different from an intern.

Isn't the current state of thing such that it's really hard to tell? I think the METR study showed that self-reported productivity boosts aren't necessarily reliable.

I have been messing with vibe engineering on a solo project and I have such a hard time telling if there's an improvement. It's this feeling of "what's faster, one lead engineer coding or one lead engineer guiding 3 energetic but naive interns"?

I feel like every chatgpt thread needs every comment to be prepended with 3.5 or 4. It's incredibly difficult to tell when someone is having a bad time with 3.5, which has many known limitations, or 4 which tends to be more better at problem solving (though still makes dumb mistakes).

I think the "GPT is amazing" vs "GPT is useless" debate is just going to get more confusing as more versions are released.

My mini split works to -13F but at 85% of its normal efficiency once it drops below zero. A lot of Canada is on heat pumps and definitely deal with below zero

cmd+D will mute/unmute (ctrl+D on windows?)

I still can't stand the bottom popping up and down and not being able to tell if I'm muted.

My best car "feature" was a rental I had that when connected to bluetooth and driving, would auto-reply to SMS messages with "I'm driving and can't talk right now".

At the time I had facebook notifications send me sms messages, and if you reply, it would post the reply to facebook.

I had left a bunch of "I'm driving and can't talk right now" comments on random posts without realizing it until days later.

Not the original poster but it takes ages to open, and I have maybe 3-4 notes in there. It's especially bad on android.

Also the offline support isn't great which is a dealbreaker in the subway where internet goes in and out.

I use it as well but it moves far fewer people at a much higher running cost. I love the ferry but it's not a viable replacement.

It sounds like you're drawing arbitrary lines about what is and isn't a genre. House and metal have evolved various subgenres, to the point where some the subgenres have their own festivals.

Deadmau5 uses polymeters pretty extensively and rap/trap uses polyrhythms all the time.

Yes there is a ton of electronic music and yes a lot of it sounds similar but there are new things coming out if you can dig through all the volume.

A lot of the innovation is also in sound design and not necessarily composition.

Tesla wasn't just ahead of everyone else to market, they forced everybody else to market. If tesla gets everybody else to make great electric cars, that's a success to me, even if tesla itself implodes.

I think if not for tesla, other car companies would not be scrambling to make better Evs.

The one I attended assumed their students have spent a good amount of time trying to learn on their own. They also had a long list of work to be read and done before the program even started.

In my limited experience, the ones that struggled most were the ones who simply didn't do the prework that was asked of them. Some people think education is something that will happen to them if they pay somebody enough, compared to those that went to a boot camp to accelerate the self-education they had already started.

There's also just the joy of cooking. It's a skill, no different than programming. I feel the same pride in improving my cooking skills as I do my programming skills. It's nice to make things, and make them well.

If you're passionate and willing to put in the effort and the hours, you'll learn more in a (good) 3 month intensive than in 12 months of trying to teach yourself online. That's my experience anyway.
