i had exactly the same issue. That first sentence triggered the bad experience i had with claude opus 5.0 interactions and i just closed the page immediately.. All of the PRs that I have seen with "gates"... it really impacts me

Welcome to the field of real options! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_options_valuation

the link under recent posts here https://verdagon.dev/home 404s, as it links to https://verdagon.dev/blog/valen-memory-safety instead of https://verdagon.dev/blog/valen-group-borrowing . Interstingly this shows the page is hosted on Firebase, which is a bit unexpected for a static blog

> they just don't need the data anymore.

Thats the wording of GDPR.. that you should delete data after you dont need it anymore for the original purpose..

Unfortunately, it seems noone is enforcing it enough.

https://status.claude.com/ status page now indicates: Elevated errors on claude.ai, Claude Code, Claude Cowork and the Claude API

What approach did you take with AI to make it discover an edge? Give the AI autonomy to search for edges itself and build e.g. a backtest it can use to confirm, or narrow it done with research (possibly AI) and then investigate specific approaches with AI? Or in other words, how autonomous was the AI in finding that edge?

going on a bit of a tangent here - some discussion there seems to be imply that AI bots mostly use IPv4s, which makes sense to me given that they are probably bots hosted by some cloud. Whereas IPv6 may be more organic traffic from e.g. mobile users (not in this case probably)... which made me think if at some point IPv6 may at some point win against IPv4 just because its more organic traffic (i.e. not from big tech cloud), leading to pages blocking IPv4? Just speculation on my side

I also enjoyed it. Something about the writing really made me enjoy it, it was so different from the llm text i read all day long

will claude platform on aws offer the same nerfed (dumb) opus 4.5/4.6/4.7 of the recent weeks, or will it be possible to use opus 4.5/4.6 from february/march?

This is very similar to SBE encoder/decoder flyweights over raw memory? What are the differences?

> Maybe it arrives while the first request is still running. Now your idempotency layer is part of your concurrency control.

I recently designed a system where this had to be taken into consideration. I find my solution very elegant: When the request arrives, I put the pending request into a map, keyed by the idempotenceId. This whole operation is executed in one step. Now the event loop may process other requests. If one of them has the same key, it will await the same response object from the store. And then, once i have the response, I resolve both promises with it.

funnily enough, I talked recently to someone working on the swift compiler (not an Apple employee) to make Swift functions differentiable. So its not all dead yet

> In the Write-Only Code story, that same engineer becomes a systems designer, a constraint writer, and a trade-off manager.

This is also what I see my job to be shifting towards, increasingly fast in recent weeks. I wonder how long we will stay in this paradigm, I dont know.

interesting. Do you have an example of what exactly it outputs and how you store that? how do you use the outputs? As a pointer to a new agent with fresh context to get them up to speed?

uninstall the app. Works really well to me. The conscious effort of reinstalling it is enough to prevent me from doing it. Whereas using the awfully implemented screentime guards, I just find myself clicking on "Allow for 15 minutes" before I even understand what I do.

select in finder the file that currently opens with XCode, then press Cmd+i. It opens the information panel. There in the Open with section, you can chose the app and then also Change all to not use XCode.

How is heritabiltity of life span useful if by the time the lifespan becomes known (eg at 80yrs old) the inheritance is not possible anymore (eg menopause)?

Maybe.. or maybe you underestimate the insanities you can find in real life too (the model isnt that creative unfortunately). See here, 5 different no-parking signs for the same 2 spots: https://maps.app.goo.gl/S74r7eawH2vL24CX7

I have to say both the leafless trees and electrical box spawning is very on point for what you would find in eg Belgium. Check this full blown ugly building/container that spawned in the beautiful Liege Guillemins station https://maps.app.goo.gl/T1J7WwCCYDvBgJEc7

Im not sure I like that market in particular, but probably polymarket is indeed the best one… assuming the market will resolve fairly

Exactly. I would prefer to remain invested as I dont want to time the market. But I would prefer if I could meaningfully reduce exposure to OpenAI and the consequences of their possible downfall.

As a retail investor mostly invested into broad ETFs (All World), is there any way I can get short exposure to OpenAI? Being short Oracle/Nvidia/Microsoft?

Hi David, have you looked into alternatives to 3DGS like https://meshsplatting.github.io/ that promise better results and faster training?

I was about to write the same. I scrolled through it but I dont understand what it is.

Same for me. Also never happened to me before

I like this a lot. Every time I am forced to open Notion or Slite, I just wish so much it would just be .md files in a git repository.

one way is by using schemas to communicate between them that are backwards compatible. eg with avro its quite nice

<1MB is also relatively easy to reach with swiftui apps. I had two fully working ones in the app store below 1MB. They are removed now since I didnt pay the yearly 100€

i am still skeptical about HDR as pretty much all HDR content I see online is awful. But this post makes me believe that Lux/Halide can pull of HDR in a way that I will like. I am looking forward to Halide Mk3.
