Don’t use LLMs to enforce invariants.
In the end we're just boiling water.

Yes. Feels like the better you are at your craft the better the tools work.

I like judgement. Taste is a subset.
In the old days porn peddlers were the pioneers of digital.
"my phone died yesterday, a friend just gave me his old pixel" - please don't do this. That's lying to law enforcement and they can prosecute. Just say it's your travel phone.
If the government could easily get the remote backup they would have already done it.

iirc, a harness isn't allowed, but if the LLM wants to write its own tools to solve things that is allowed.

Are you testing a model or a harness? People conflate the two.
Can't you do that with regular Unix permissions?
Age eleven and had access to a chemistry set that a relative gifted. It had sulfur, but the saltpeter, and charcoal came from elsewhere. The 1960s encyclopedia had the instructions.

No. Excel is a general purpose tool that can be used for calculating tasks that are good, neutral, or evil things. It's a fancy calculator.
Looks good for light-duty uses. Scared for my fingers for anything heavy.

When we do these it's a fine-tuned classifier, generally a BERT class model. Works quite well when you sanitize input and output with low latency/cost.
Even if you spend a crazy amount of money with them for advertising they will try to gaslight you if they make a mistake.
Finnish if you want to go hard mode.
I’ve worked with their consultants and they were lovely. They hate Azure too.

Like video gaming, but similar.
I have a theory that prediction markets will becomes hyperstition engines. This is a rather... violent example.

Do not enforce invariants with an LLM. Do not enforce invariants with an LLM. Do not enforce invariants with an LLM. Do not enforce invariants with an LLM.
Re:My take on vibe coding for PMs on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @10:33PM (#47242703)
Entire product or a feature for a product? Sometimes you just want to test an idea and vibe coding works well for that in the very short amount of time it takes now. Product market fit, user testing, engineering, those can come after the hunch.
