You know we (tech as an industry) have done this to a bunch of people already, right?

Thats what "disrupt" meant

I don't want to sequence at home.

But I do want to sequence it using a third-party that gives me all the raw data. I live in Europe and I'm just a simple consumer. Does anyone know how I can do this? What service would I use / you can recommend?

Them not keeping it on their side would be a huge bonus of course but not sure I can ask for that much.

Just out of curiosity, what is your legitimate criticism of Adreessen and Sacks?

I would add, simple data in / data out functions. Composable functions. Value types > reference types. Keep your state in order! Consolidate your state, dont shatter your state around a bunch of "objects"

Uncle Bob is a snake oil salesman. Not sure he realizes it himself though. The whole SOLID, OOP design patterns era was one of the worst things to have happened to programming.

I always thought I was the one that sucked but now I'm absolutely certain that whole zeitgeist was total crap.

What? On a micro immediate mode UI?

I have a version of this where I have the llms play the duel decks "Elves vs Goblin" against each other using xMage as a rules engine.

Unfortunetly it gets really expensive to run even with some optimizations for the context.

I can only afford to play them with the deepseek models. They make serious blunts sometimes. This is not an easy "harness" to build and I dont have the time or disposal cash to work on it. I think a lot of work could be done on improving it still and testing better models.

It would make an amazing "arena" bench. There is plenty of more duel decks well balanced against each other.

> I feel like I'm missing a mode that works more like a pair programmer. Perhaps a multimodal model that can talk to you about what you're writing, as you write it, and offer suggestions rather than trying to take over and do everything for you.

This is exactly what I have also been thinking and wanting for a while now. A realtime agent that I can share a screen and mouse / keyboard with. and we can just work together at times. I think it will probably come at some point but we might be a few years away from it.

No I wasn't.

This is the whole paragraph:

> People used to have nothing. My grandfather got his first pair of shoes when he was 10 years old. Yet he was more joyful and positive than most people alive today.

I was saying he had nothing, not even shoes (and people now have plenty).

This shouldn't be hard. It's truly basic text comprehension.

did I compare AI to shoes anywhere in my text? They also used to teach comprehension when I went to school.
