Hate all you want on those two (I certainly do) but they are incredible at monetization

Because a nuc doesn't pass the wife test. Ask me how I know.

A shield does, at least.

I like the fancy gradient INCIDENT REPORT image as well. At least it looks fancy and AI-ey

I tried this and it was a huge pain. This works in a small place with a single TV and a single user, past that it's rough.

Running a hdmi cable through walls sucks, you're limited in tenancy (I can't game while wife watches the TV), controlling the pc remotely is annoying, most streaming apps don't support 4k on a pc (same problem with a nuc), I can go on.

This does not pass, or get anywhere close to passing the wife test imo.

I disagree here. Software engineering is a very different form of engineering than something like building a bridge. This has always been true. Even before LLMs, there was a lot of hobbled together code going out there from "real engineers."

I think it's silly to make strong statements like this. _Most_ professional software engineers (women too, not just him!) are using LLMs and are moving some amount of faster as a result.

The Chaparral 2j is one of the most inventive and cool looking cars I've seen.

Not f1, Can-Am but yeah, I'm really surprised this isn't a more common approach to modern track cars. Obviously banned in most motorsport but I'm surprised with all of the one-offs these days that it's not more common.

Link?

Sounds like your cert store is broken or you're being MITM'd

Serious question, would they bother?

You can work with 10 players that will buy all of them with minimal effort.

I feel like most forums etc. don't accept animated images as an avatar because they are annoying. It's not a technical constraint, it's a UX thing.

This is the thing I mention often.

"Am I arguing against the shuttle loom!?"

Then I realize that the shuttle loom led to the rise of unions because of unfair treatment in factories and realize that we have a _long_ way to go.

Single AZ S3 has other benefits. The point isn't the price, it's that it's _highly performant_ since you can keep all of your reads in the same AZ

Isn't openrouter the exact opposite of caring about security and privacy?

I guess you can choose your provider still? But isn't the point that the lowest bidder is doing inference?

Which has also been done :|

Bedrock is an option. Multiple platforms with solid data sovereignty.

If you don't want them slurping your data, you're gonna have to pay more.

Same as it ever was.

The classic slashdot comment!

Simple solution here, use a high quality OS.

Windows has never felt more archaic than now. I can't imagine trying to do work on a Windows machine in the age of LLMs.

If there is anything that LLMs are rock solid at these days, it's unix terminal usage.

It doesn't fit the narrative that they need to adhere to. I'm a skeptic through and through, but yeah... This article reads like propaganda.

I got here and... I agreed with everything up to this point.

The author makes a good point. If you don't know what you're doing, AI accelerates that. No question.

But they put a whopping... ten bucks into using DeepSeek and weren't impressed with the initial results.

I know they try to cover this with "you just aren't prompting correctly!" but if, in 2026, you aren't able to have an LLM generate decent quality code... IDK what to tell you. Good luck I guess?

What part of this was lying about what she had said?

I think the entire thing is absurd but libel usually requires falsehoods to be published. Slander is similar. It isn't just "damaged reputation"

I use something like OpenClaw. For me the big benefit isn't so much the autonomous nature but the organizational structure. The one I use exposes an MCP and lets me control it via talking to an LLM _in the tool_ which is really powerful. EG "audit this", "in X thread we were discussing Y, can you pull that information", etc. And the organizational structure just... makes a ton of sense to me. Don't have to set up a ton of steering and whatnot, it just kinda works.

Being able to use the search to find and resume an old thread is fantastic. The thing I use lets me use whatever underlying CLI that I want, which IMO the biggest limitation on Claude Code or whatnot is that you... have to use Claude models. Sometimes I wanna use sol, sometimes a cheap chinese model, etc. And I want sol with 1m context.

I know there are other tools out there that can do this. I know some people love their tmux/cmux, but IMO the thing that matters the most is being comfy and knowing the tool well. Hell, James Gosling used NetBeans when I talked to him in 2023. Know the tool well and that matters the most, IMO.

For me, it helps with my ADHD brain. And I could spend all day just researching and trying new tools, they are a dime a dozen these days.

Pulling some stats, I have 25 "tabs", and across all of those, I have 1,298 unique threads. 9,539 unique messages.

It works for me, but I don't care about the autonomous part.

IMO it's not. It's benchmarking GPT 5.4 and Opus 4.6. It's also missing Claude Code... one of the most popular harnesses (the most?)

Fable is great minus it's annoying writing style. It's nowhere near as bad as Opus 5 but it's very "AI trope-y" even with heavy steering. I can spot the writing immediately.

On the flipside, how many individual lives have been changed by the books provided to families for free? Impossible to quantify but I'd argue extremely important.

Similarly to the cars, I won't use it on moral grounds.

> I have tried many ways to get it to stop writing in its stupid punchy linked-in marketing-team voice, and I can't.

One of them writes better by default. One of them doesn't. That's the thing.

With enough steering, I can get a cheap low-capability model to do things correctly in most cases as well. But why bother?

You can tell it to write high quality code, to test things, and to come up with a proper rollout plan of a feature. Or it could just do it by default.

I know where I'm putting my money in that case.

I don't know. I think it makes sense to have a policy like this.

I haven't written a line of code myself in 6 months, but the point is that _you shouldn't be able to tell_

What I tell people at work: Using AI is good. AI can help you do things that you otherwise wouldn't have. It shouldn't be a crutch for thinking.

In that sense, people shouldn't be able to tell that you're using AI unless the tell is that it's _higher quality_ than if you had implemented it by hand.

A good example here is a well-written document that has a _ton_ of deep research behind it. Or code that has extensive tests that would have taken too long to write by hand for the task at hand.

It's bad when it's just "do this thing and post a PR" but I write my code with AI, look at it as a reviewer, offer suggestions, put those into my steering if needed, and I refine it. The way I see it, I'm the first reviewer on everything now before passing it off to another human for review.

There have been points where having AI rewrite something was slower than me doing it, but I'm already in the harness. The cost of waiting is almost zero. What stops me from contributing to the JVM using AI written code that I understand and spent time manicuring? Can a human really tell that it's AI written?

What is an example of something that is unsafe to consume via API or CLI?

Isn't MCP _an API_?

Is the em dash in the title meant to be ironic?
