the real super intelligence is instantly spotting that the Nikhil Kamath and Dario’s interview is Four Seasons in Bangalore because of the specific carpet pattern and background landscape
configuring modern llm tooling is the new oh-my-zsh
I started watching The Leftovers during COVID, and I was so pulled in by it that I decided to NOT watch the last 3 eps indefinitely, so that I can come back to it 10-20y later and hopefully feel like that again (5y and counting).
i'm sure there's a dozen more metaphorical world-building for the exact same underlying gt tool chain
i didn't find this particularly unhinged
software engineers of any reasonable seniority are very good at coming up with metaphorical feedback loops in all sorts of internally consistent analogies, as models to build intuition for themselves or as public punchlines
i would much rather have coderabbit style reviews inside magit than in GitHub PRs
The best user experiences often involve the worst internal abstractions. Hard-won lesson
petition to: award 50 paul graham internet points every time some founder-type dude says "hope is not a strategy" unironically
all these soul / motown funk / synthwave ai covers of pop music from the last 2 decades is cool but did you know that paul anka made an actual album with real jazz musicians covering all these songs 20y ago en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Sw...
I wonder if we can do llm swe benchmarks that specifically decontaminate certain "ergonomically human" ideas from training, like tasteful, dev-ex oriented libraries or frameworks (say rails) and see if we can progressively prompt (+elicit) our way to something that everyone "enjoys" using
@headius.bsky.social you planning to visit Bangalore? I couldn’t be at RCI this time around. Happy to host you, if you do!
like we know people are doing a lot more with these things, but he just sort of glosses over, and it's unclear whether it's intentional or he just doesn't have the words to convey specificity
i have seen like 4 full-length sam altman interviews in the past months (including the nikhil kamath one) and there's something very weirdly unsophisticated about his pitch about AI every time
it always slants towards something like start a company and write code or plan itineraries and do science
I'm certain www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen... was inspired from Kyo Kusanagi's theme from King Of Fighters www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAYu...
great to see that newgrounds.com still blocked in India
...and great to see music from 18 years ago made on a celeron processor in fruity loops still intact and well! kitallis.newgrounds.com

has anyone been able to set up conventional commit rules on commits from squash and merge PRs going to main on GitHub?
I looked all over Tokyo for a CD player for my car, no luck. Keep one for me if you find one.
In 1986, Sony dropped the SMC-210, their first portable PC in the US
so am I getting this right, to get openai api credits:
- you have to prepay
- the amount is only valid for a year
- you can't extend it
- they won't refund excess
- funds aren't transferable
oblique strategy of the day
I was 18, I'm sorry.
the main bottlenecks I can think of:
- we're running github.com/hanami/api which is a minimal rack-based server
- dependency on github.com/fastlane/fas... which I believe is almost entirely written in ruby (no native exts)
I'm intrigued (yet again). I think moving the tramline monolith (rails 7) would be too much work, but I want to try and run applelink on github.com/tramlinehq/a... on jruby
