Isn't the centralization the reason they got stolen? It was Binance that was hacked, not the blockchain technology.

I get the sentiment, but it seems to me like a crutch that should be worked on getting rid of. It can't be that painful to be with other people, if it is, we need to work on ourselves and the culture. The jump from "I'm bored/uncomfortable" -> "might as well get drunk" seems wrong and a slippery slide to boot.

Thing is, you already have limited space for context. A CLAUDE.MD larger than about 150 lines will exceed it. That is not a lot of space to describe, for example, a complex code base, development conventions, and all the other important stuff.

The way it works right now, it is just accumulated cruft of incredibly useless stuff that pushes out important context. The only 'memory' you should have is: Always ask me before adding a memory. Then you just ignore the suggestions, marveling at the kind of crap it wants to store into an already limited context window.

I guess "senior" just means older, but in the usual sense, the more senior you are, the more your job involves coordinating with other people. So I don't see how you could disappear when promoted. But I think in this case it's just "you do more work".

Only people who have not used foldables worry about crease. I've used one for 5-6 years, and even with an older generation it has never been an issue. Half the time it's literally bent, so obviously there is a kink. At this point my screen has hairline fractures down the middle and even that doesn't actually bother me.

Completely agree. Saying this as someone who loves handcrafting code and has been doing it professionally for decades, it looks like a dead end at this point. LLM generated code might not be pretty, but these damn models are already so good at handling complexity, that they can actually work fine with a byzantine code base (which honestly would also describe most human-derived codebases I have worked with). I am still reeling from this realization and trying to figure out what it means.

I recently heard, for the first time, what Space Quest sounded like with a Roland board attached. It was mindblowingly amazing. And all most anyone ever experienced was bleep, bloop.

I smell an architecture astronaut getting high on abstractions. Taken far enough, it starts to look like psychedelic ramblings of a manic schizophrenic losing grip on reality.

Interestingly, the author actually has a product, something usually missing in claims of the new LLM powered productivity nirvana. Hopefully, with time, there will be a way to verify the effectiveness of all of this fire and fury, measured in actual worthwhile deliveries of this product.

I feel the same way, the odds are part of the story. The UFC has removed them now, I guess as part of the Paramount deal. This actually makes the events less interesting.

By the way, the UFC chews through athletes so fast (part of their somewhat exploitative business model), it's no wonder it's hard to keep up with the latest names.

Saying it seems to have become a taboo, probably because of the existential horror of it possibly being true.

Suno also runs on WASM. Pretty good showcases, both, imho.

> the students of Paris threatened a general strike

Paris in 1200 was at least somewhat recognizable.

It's because Claude is so scary good that unleashing it would destroy the world.

They're very high value by weight, very fungible, and there is much less regulation about carrying them across international borders.
