I ran out of Claude quota.... I was going to pull out my credit card or call it a night... then I remembered - I can still do it by hand, the old fashioned way. Perhaps I should keep this competitive advantage a secret.

My favourite part from @dhh 's podcast with @lexfridman, breaks down well why exactly meetings are toxic:

Our high school offered English Sci Fi for Grade 11. We watched 2001: A Space Odyssey and wrote essays about it. We talked about Three Laws of Robotics. The regular English 11 classes had Shakespeare.

Can I get the PDF for the rules?

Programming with LLMs is like playing Street Fighter 6 using Modern rather than Classic controls.

it doesn't matter whether or not the robots in Westworld are sentient. The behavior of the guests is wrong regardless. vice is a muscle that is strengthened when you exercise it

@cmuratori I feel that with certain tasks, it is much easier and faster to just edit the code (it is my code and I know the context and history) versus trying to explain the context and what I want to do in words to another human/AI, then using more energy to verify said task was done right

[Alfred Pang @alfredpang]

What works for AIs also works for humans.

Context is the antidote to hallucination. These auto-generated docs prevent Cline from making things up by giving it a memory.

The best part? Cline creates and updates these docs itself, then refers back to them when needed.

Here's how you can use Memory Bank 🧵

This one is kind of fun... thanks Claude! Naturally training and running is not included but you can drop it into Google Colab.

Avoiding guidance is a midwit thing.
If you want to stand on the shoulders of giants you gotta accept guidance.

stop letting your potential go to waste because you don't feel confident or ready enough. people with half your talent are making serious waves while you're still waiting to feel ready.

There is actually a GitHub Repo for Anime Girls holding programming books?

I love the dystopian cyberpunk feel of these words.

In the US, it'll cost you, say, $200,000/year to rent one biological programming core. Hetzner will rent you 1 AMD EPYC core for $55/year. You damn well better be optimizing for the maximum efficiency of the biological core over the silicon core.
