The web page doesn't seem to load correctly in the Safari browser for macOS 26. Seems like something they might want to fix.

Slop city, it felt like I was having an LLM chat.

Your app asks people if they would like to upload their contacts? That’s a massive dark pattern. I was interested until now.

Sorry to pile on, but yeah, I wanted to use etcd during 2021 and 2022, around v3.5, but etcd had serious issues including silent data corruption. If you are curious, ask gemini flash "there were a number of etcd releases years ago where it seems a new wave of developers came in and started breaking everything"

The article says "A new Arizona law that took effect in late July makes deed fraud a felony", does this mean deed fraud has been a misdemeanor ? (Link from rawgabbit below)

With a median lifespan of 7.35 years, although I doubt that 9% per year remains constant as the number of years increases.

New comment by camkego in "The Kimi K3 Moment"

camkego — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 08:10:38 +0000

Does this article really compare a single well defined LLM model "Kimi K3" vs. a family of LLM models including Haiku x.x, Sonnet x.x, Opus x.x, Fable x.x without actually revealing what Claude-family model was being compared?

(Fable has been restricted somewhat, but the article uses Fable pricing as a comparison point, so it worth including it in the list of possible Claude family LLMs)

It's hard to know what to take away from the post with this ambiguity.

It's also worth noting the range of pricing for the Claude family ranges from $1/$5 a million in/out to $10/$50 a million in/out, so the ambiguity of which particular model the comparison is against spans a 10x range of model fees.

I've got to give the author credit, it seems like this is written without an LLM. But, there seems to be a lot that is arguable.

For example, the article says "Natural language is the interface of last resort."

But, is that actually true? Isn't the AI boom happening because N/L is truly available as an interface?

Anyway, please keep writing and asking tough questions.

You might not like Microsoft but they did a video on why they re-wrote the last version of the Typescript compiler in Go. Basically, because of LLMs. It's worth viewing even if you don't decide to go with Go.

I think the study you might be thinking of shows a drop in crime due to the reduction of lead in gasoline, thus we are now breathing less lead.

Read this section of the article “ Bug Discovery: Finding Hidden Flaws”, they appear to have used the model on open source Rust to find issues starting with just the Rust code. You might be also able to have conversations that help you write the Lean to verify your application, but I’m not certain about this.

Pin threads to cores, and make sure threads different cores aren’t writing to the same 64 or 128 byte block. Lookup “false sharing”

Maybe I am cynical, but I read this as "We were not able to meet our deadline of making you pay API rates for -p and the Agent SDK, but it's coming. We will let you know"

If I've got it all wrong, please let me know.

Well, according to Sonnet, the term "staging" refers to assembling troops and equipment at an intermediate location before moving forward into an operation.

I really didn't know, but was curious, so I used an LLM to research it.

camkego — Fri, 29 May 2026 06:33:42 +0000

The article contains the passage below twice. I mean how does that happen? No proofreading? Cut and paste editing. I am always surprised when I see this in professional new sources.

——

That the amendment died quietly does not erase what its introduction signals: opposition to police LPR programs is reaching higher levels of the political agenda, and Flock is increasingly at the center of it.

Maybe I am wrong about this, but I think Zed will run the npm stuff on the dev-container if you are using dev-containers. That can be your isolated virtual machine image or docker instances. But I believe you do need to use Zed (stdio or ssh) dev containers to get that security isolation. I know it’s a pain, but for me, I am going to pay the logistics price for security until a better solution comes along.
