I came here to say same thing :-)

I finished Quantum Radio last week and Im quite far in Rainbows End. I think the former is ok, not great; the latter is a better book (with AR future vibes), but still lacking something that makes u never drop it before u finish it.

I kinda like most of these emulators but why is there none targeting GCP/Azure

Shockingly vibed blog post. Actually hurt my brain reading this and I had to stop.

Major Seveneves vibes from this

This is going to be hell for OSS maintainers. Every llm-kiddie will be opening a security report

Same here. I dont see anything there that nobody else can catch up on eventually. I must be missing something here. It's all cute, but mmm

This is from the same person who wrote this [1]

> Our goal continues to be building the best LLM engineering platform

Interesting headline for a checks notes time series database company.

From my experience Zed agents oftn just goes and edits your files without your asking it to. Even if you ask questions about codebase, it assumes you want it to be changed. For it to be useful it must be better at understanding prompts; I would also like it to generate diffs like it does but prompt me if I want to apply them first

likewise

Please add vim leader support to vim mode! :)

Not having the leader really annoys me but I’ve found myself using Zed more and more recently regardless. I think their LLM integration is just right for me unlike the neovim plugins I’ve tried. It’s really annoying because Ive been using vim for well over a decade so Id prefer to stick at home, but Zed is really reaching the level Im starting to like

I can't think of a director in the new generation of movie directors who are as original as most of the pieces made by DL. RIP, maestro!

The most ironic thing is thar the middle managers are somehow surviving this. So far, anyway, but I think they’ll be found too sooner or latet

> This is huge, as long as there's a single standard and other LLM providers don't try to release their own protocol

Yes, very much this; I'm mildly worried because the competition in this space is huge and there is no shortage of money and crazy people who could go against this.

It's an open protocol; where did you get the idea that it would only work with Claude? You can implement it for whatever you want - I'm sure langchain folks are already working on something to accommodate it

Something is telling me this _might_ turn out to be a huge deal; I can't quite put a finger on what is that makes me feel that, but opening private data and tools via an open protocol to AI apps just feels like a game changer.

This breaks so bad for me on my phone :-(

Who needs self-driving cars when we can have rat-driving cars?

Yep, this is the right take. Somehow entrepreneurs are perceived in the EU as tich freeloaders and not as job and innovation creators who tend to take a lot of risk and go through tremendous pressure while running their companies. I feel the influx of VC money skewed the vision of what it entails to start a company: it is true that the investment slightly "de-risks" founders (emphasis on double quotes!) but that's often an illusion - I don't think people who never ran a company understand the pressure of a founder's responsibility towards their employees, investors, etc... most of the generally very risk-averse Europeans will never grasp this

Europe being Europe. But more importantly, I find it a but strange the countries with growing deficits thinking that raising taxes is the right move towards improving the economic situation instead of restructuring

> They coddle rather than manage

At one of the gigs I had, the VP of Engineering was running the engineering department like your good uncle rather than actually managing it so it becomes a well oiled high performing department. And it showed. And not in a good way. It set the company back badly.

My theory is all developed societies converge on having no accountability in the governing positions. Of course, I may and most like am wrong but if you look at say politics you must at least think about this being a real possibility

This is true, but as I learnt [1] recently, adversarial attacks on LLMs can get incredibly sophisticated, so this is kinda apples and oranges ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is awesome! Over the summer I wrote API clients for both Go [1] and Rust [2] as we were using Play in my job at the time but there was only Python and Node SDK.

Incredible achievement, my American friends! Congrats! We, Europeans, can only feel jealous, but hey at least we have free [but comically broken and dysfunctional] healthcare, so, there's that. I hope you'll bring a lot more progress to humankind beyond space exploration!

If, and it is an IF, this does turn out the way he is imagining, the transitional period to the AI from the economic PoV will be disastrous for people. That's the scariest part I think.
