No doubt because the LLM said it was ready to pass Jepsen.

“A Root it can never touch can undo any change.”

This is the sort of nonsense up with which I shall not put!

All I gotta see is “utexas.edu” and “(197X)” and I know it’ll be a banger that’s still relevant today.

Superpowers has stopped working the past six months, to the point where it’s actively harmful. The main problem is the Writing Plans skill — its directives emphasize that the plan must be written for agents that cannot be trusted. What happens is the agent then writes all the code and the steps become “Copy this code block into foo.rs”. Meanwhile the review skill specifies that the code must follow the plan exactly; but now that it’s at the level of copying code, which hasn’t been tested and compiled*, the reviewer always freaks out about a stray & or comma, launching fixer agents and whatnot.

The last straw was two weeks ago when I discovered on a run Fable accounted for this problem in by first writing all the code in a scratch git repo and running unit tests, before copying that code into the plan. Since then I’ve been back to vibing. I lose overnight runs but gain sanity.

The product film is triggering.

Xnu’s Not Unix!

The Apollo Guidance Computer had 4KB of RAM and 16KB of ROM. Can you write a scheduler that would execute 8 programs related to landing on the moon in 4KB?

The Reagan years were a golden age but not the 90s?

Quake party!!!!

Necessity is the mother of invention. The shortsighted protections put on chips, etc., by the US has forced Chinese AI industry to adapt or die. Guess what their response to this fitness function has been? Kudos to Z.ai on their inventions and excellent write-up, which reads like humans wrote it.

I intellectually understand the retailpocalypse replaced by online shopping, but I will always want to try on clothes before buying them, and that goes double for shoes. After trying out New Balance for a year or two in adulthood I ended up going back to Nike running shoes (I still remember my pair of Air Icarus from high school, so light), just seemed to fit my feet better.

But now I wear Hokas. Nike’s loss.

Because she was smart, and her reviews will make you think.

Too bad. I get mine from the small town butcher/locker when I’m in the Midwest in summer, and the neighborhood farmer’s market on the east coast the rest of the year. A couple of ribeyes a year and I’m good, so I see them as an affordable luxury where I can pay for good prime meat from a short supply chain.

Hopefully most people here getting ribeyes aren’t getting them from the same factory farms that supply McDonald’s and sell other cheap kinds of beef. A ribeye is an occasional luxury and best bought from the farmer.
