But it turns out they were completely full of it, and have absolutely no idea what separates a good/bad message. Quite disappointing.

Look, OP:

1. go outside (20+ minutes being around green stuff and moving has a significant anti-depression effect)

2. exercise (lift weights or go do something aerobic: both help)

3. go read a book, watch a show, or otherwise get yourself "off your current wavelength"

4. talk to a professional

5. take the drugs a professional gives you

6. clean your house (or one room, or one corner ... whatever you can manage).

7. spend some time with a friend (or friends)

Or, for even more ideas, read the Upward Spiral. If you're depressed you need to get your brain out of the depression "downward spiral" (I can't imagine blogging about depression helps), and into an upward one ... by taking actions that push your brain in that direction.

  The cruel reality is that many people will lose their jobs, myself included. I’ve been gradually falling into an existential crisis lately. For someone like me who hasn’t built up a passive income base, it’s hard to survive in this society on the old path.

  After all, Dario Amodei said last May that AI would be writing over 90% of code within six months

Programmers are not going away (certainly not anytime soon). There are mountains of objective evidence for this (e.g. hiring stats). Do not blindly believe it when some idiot CEO claims something to raise his stock price!

There are AI people who live and breathe AI every day, and people who don't know AI at all. In-between are lots of people in the middle of "leveling up" with AI ... but ATM the tool's docs are only for the very first group.

FWIW, I really think a paragraph or so of plain English describing the problem (agents can't communicate by default) and the solution (this tool lets them coordinate) would help everyone else (and would take like two seconds to add).

Do you reject all stats that treat the number of people involved (eg. 2 million pepole protested X) as "embarrassing" ... because they lump incredibly varied people together and pretend they're equal?

They're completely different groups (except finance entrepreneurs I guess), and it's the former that causes a lot of societal problems (although, arguably, the people whose money they manage are just as responsible, if not more so).

I used to be able to give it certain commands, and reliably count on it to do the right thing. Lately I give it identical commands and it just starts doing something idiotic, instead of the correct thing (that it did 50 times prior).

To an earlier poster's point, it's probably the model, not the harness, and I understand Anthropic has to make money someday (and they're not now) ... but I'd rather see a visible doubling of price than a secret halving of the capabilities (which seems to be their current plan).

That approach is enshitification.

For their first year two of existence, bun tried to do npm, but better. For the first year or two of their existence, Deno tried to reinvent npm.

The key result is that after that first year or two Deno had to walk back their decisions, to create a Node-ecosystem-compatible tool .. and as a result, they're now significantly behind bun (at least by all metrics I've seen).

Yes, humans (and human languages) are flawed and lossy.

>A well-written ADR does not eliminate all ambiguity,

True: no docs can ever eliminate all ambiguity (on a decent sized project at least).

But this entire argument seems to be "letting perfect be the enemy of the good". Documentation doesn't have to be perfect or 100% unambiguous to be useful.

I'm not saying this project isn't cool, but whenever you have ANY software that's designed to be hosted A-style, and you host it B-style, the obvious question is "Why not host it the A way?"

Yes, there are these things called "Local LLMs" that run entirely on your machine.

>Most of the time the information you have to share, especially anything verifiable, will be traceable back to you.

Maybe by other mechanisms, but not by this one (writer profiling). The "profile" would just be of the style of the LLM you use.

True, you can't publish a book anonymously anymore: that ship seems to have sailed. But if you want to publish a political piece or anything else potentially "substantive", can't you just ask AI to rewrite it for you? Instant anonymization!

"Cognitive Bias - A systematic error of thinking or rationality in judgment that influence our perception"

That's not a law! It's barely even a useful concept in the form presented here!

Instead of being a useful collection of rules a UI designer/dev can apply, this just feels like the author picked some terms, looked up their definition in the dictionary, and threw it all together so he could sell posters.

It's kind of a scam, because anyone with an AWS account could do the same thing, for the same cost (and have space for 20+ static websites) ... but not everyone can deal with AWS, nor can everyone edit a website.

It's too bad Wordpress is hot garbage, and I'd never touch (or recommend that even the most tech illiterate person should touch) that garbage fire of an app.

(Or at least, that's their take on this. You can choose to read between the lines, or not, as to whether they have other motivations also.)

In the short term all the franchises have proved incredibly popular (just like in Fortnight), but in the long run I think it means the death of the game (just like where Fortnight is headed).
