I lover his book ”I am a strange loop”. It has shaped how I view myself.

I found this really interesting. You could probably prompt it to use a ”blackboard system” and reference the wiki. Maybe a place to store the data is as a GitHub discussion/issue or something similar. That way you can easily browse it and watch what’s happening.

Thank you for these, coz I learned a lot! Great that they are open access.

I agree fully with the point about integrating emotion in your decision making. Earlier I used to get stuck in decisions since I had the need to be rational. Which is in it self an emotion I guess - since need is an emotion? Now my life is much simpler.

I have had some success with using Ollama cloud and just instructing Claude Code to hand off tasks to Ollama because of tokens economics.

If the chat is saved as an example of how lot to talk. Can that be used for training an LLM on how to talk or what to remove from a chat?

Reminds me of EMacs, which I really like.

Heh, I run my experiments on Claude subscription. And that cost I’ll file as an ”opportunity cost”. But if I would have build this by hand and given myself a salary, then paying Claude to do it is way cheaper.

I have used something similar. I set up a team of agents that researches, proposes, builds and audits. Then rinse and repeat. I have used it for different topics. It hasn’t made me a millionaire, but I haven’t lost money either - so that’s some sort of win, right? But I would not have been able to ideate, test at that speed and quality without an LLM.

If it was a non profit that trained the model - would that change your mind?

I have had success with ”brainwashing” by starting out with bug bounties/CTF and then going from there.

Has anyone tried that? I have a feeling that if I put it a prompt Claude would comply. But I am all in on the Claude cool aid.

I work in civil engineering and tinker with computers as a hobby. I found Alexander’s work delightful. It really helped me think about my profession and my hobby and how they tie together.

He also talks about community in a city, so it walks across all scales in the build world. That really helped me think about ”scale” and what phenomena emerges at different scales. I haven’t seen those thoughts about community when I have read about patterns in SWE.

Patterns mostly revolves around solving specific problem in programming, but I haven’t yet found something that uses the same thoughts on a larger scale explicitly. I believe there are patterns for how to architect multiple softwares, but what’s beyond that scale? Say how to integrate different SWE communities.

I did Nand2Tetris and then I understod why I need to vectorize. You get a view from nand-gate to software and get to see all the interfaces. Its a wonderful course.

During uni I only took a Java class. During the exam I had to turn in hand written code. I guess that would work today.
