Cool, but how is this bigger than, e.g. East Finland's lake landscape?

Some people point out AI can cause bugs as well as fix them, and its a valid point. But the question is: what will the ratio be?

If automated pentesting in PR review CI pipeline will become table stakes - which is very plausible - maybe the OP has a point.

If we get in the habit of being disrespectful to machines, we will easily be disrespectful of people.

I thought ORMs are trying to solve the problem of type mapping between SQL and your backend language.

Admittedly, this doesn't end up being great, but it seems hard to solve this well in other ways, as much as I wish I could write SQL and get types for free.

Thank you, I'm happy to hear you address these models and will definitely be reading your book!

I think we need a "middle path" culture that finds a good balance between these pressures and values.

I've long been suspicious of the conflicts of interest induced by exit-orientated investment models.

I'm curious if you think cooperative businesses leveraging non-voting preferred shares, community shares and other coop investment instruments are more resilient against this type of corruption.

I'm wonder how you see the tradeoffs these models have against traditional LLC/VC models and how you would mitigate them.

Compare two popular FOSS harness projects:

-----

OpenCode

4.9k issues 1.7k PRs 158k stars

https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode

-----

Pi

31 issues 4 PRs 47k stars

https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono

Their secret? A very rigorous contribution policy. Essentially, issues and PRs are autoclosed, and reviewed daily by the team. If its not slop, they whitelist either the issue/PR or the contributor (so their stuff isn't autoclosed next time).

https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.m...

GitHub needs an issue / PR approval flow.

Organizations and communities that embrace both AI users and AI abstainers will be the true winners.

A bimodal strategy gets you the best of both worlds: the ability to rapidly explore and develop ideas, and the ability to critically and cautiously assess them.

Diversity fuels evolution.

Niri is scrumptious UX. It's the future of desktop.

It's just very hard to measure.

On the corporate scale, see the whole carbon / ESG / impact measure ent industry. Lifecycle Analysis, supply chain extrapolation, Bill of Materials analysis.

You only get some relatively crude estimate and a lot of missing data points, whereas economic growth can conveniently assign a dollar value on everything.

I think it only gets worse as you scale up.

I thought this was a "carpe diem" motivational post xD

Visually, okay for me.

UX wise, not really a revolution.

Please learn from Zen Browser.

How about other frontier models, and smaller models?

A wonderful exposition of an original take. Really well written, and delightfully succinct.

Coming from a new-pragmatist orientation, this is a nice invitation to look more carefully at phenomological takes.

More please!
