I stopped reading Claude's ridiculous distracting nonsense walls of text months ago. Honestly, I prefer Codex being boring and basically ignoring any human utterances I make which are unrelated the work to be done.

Really liked the framing on this

Hah Tetris that really matches my "everyone has to draw their own line constantly".

I'm sorry, what! 400k...?

What do you mean by integration. Do you have a model driving emacs via server?

looks cool but a little rough. If you had another 3d scene how would you integrate this?

I like the idea and I know you explicitly address this but wonder if still it could search for human made works for you to learn from first

If it does find some, maybe it could supplement them instead of just from scratch

I'm increasingly over it. Don't care how good the model/harness gets, the second I can't hold every bit of the mental model in my head is the second it's all over. And that's a very fine line and very easy to cross

Fuck private equity practicioners at every end of the spectrum, I don't care what role you play and how big or small the firm is. I heard some crazy anecdote a few months ago about them buying up firefighting software and then just charging fire fighting departments higher prices while the software still sucked and basically holding it hostage while doing no maintenance. Fuck these motherfuckers, can't they have some fucking dignity to do what's right. How are people so lost.

Another anecdote is private equity buying up psychologist firms providing therapy to people. The dude told me people walk in with their chat gipity transcripts. The goal of the PE firm was to buy out and make money and then somehow offer some software to give these people a "productive" chat gipity conversation

Just get the fuck out of here already? How many fingers up your own ass do you gotta have to keep up that kind of work?

Haven't used Claude in a month. Haven't desired to once either. In that time I once asked Claude to review some shit but it was such over verbose garbage I wondered how I tolerated it for that long. On top of it, CC is garbage

Opposite, I trust less and less the more I use these things. Must write certain things myself, especially types. Sometimes I'll even touch a new file myself (I know, creating files yourself?!) and write some pseudocode in a new file alongside some voice vomit

Also, /only/ verifying is exhausting...

RL we're gonna find out will get abandoned cuz we don't even know what is getting "aligned", just my naive gut feeling don't take it seriously

I can't imagine doing this to my own code base lol. I suppose only after Anthropic gave me a lot of money I'd say hey fuck it let's find out

Same, just gonna stick with node. On the other hand, the trial by fire will be interesting to see... long term I can only imagine the kinks will surely work themselves out

Residuality is very interesting. Have you used it in practice?
