I got to 1364 cycles for now, semi-manually: Using design space exploration organized via backlog.md project, and then recombination from that. 20 agents in parallel.

Asked to generate drawio for the winner so I can grok it more easily, then I gave feedback.

Edit: 1121 cycles

or we could use asymmetric biometric fingerprints. Turns out features can be extracted into public and private sets, and both are required for a match. I hold a patent on it btw

I would think anything that works with PXE network boot would qualify. For cloud stuff, nixos-anywhere.

sounds very interesting but also hard to understand - do you have an introduction or some examples?

Programming and CS is the art of solving problems - hopefully problems that matter.

AI lets you do that faster.

AI may suggest a dumb way, so you have to think, and tell it what to do.

My rate of thinking is faster than typing, so the bottleneck has switched from typing to thinking!

Don't let AI think for you. Do actual intensional arch design.

Programmers that don't know CS who only care about hammering the keyboards because they're artisans have little future.

AI also give me back my hobby after having kids -- time is valuable, and AI is energy efficient.

We are truly living in a cambrian explosion -- lot of slop will be produced, but market and selection pressure will weed those out.

It is great that Jesus works for you, but you have to separate real-Jesus versus storybook-Jesus. No doubt he lived, but written stories can be elaborated on.

For all I know, Jesus could have been the world's first great magician. The world has seen quite a few people in it, some quite remarkable - for which stories have been written. No deity or supernatural abilities need to apply.

Words in a book/internet aren't always the truth.
