A reminder that, even if you are not a cracked engineer, you are still deserving of being held

@jxmnop really cool! how do you determine whether a data point has become outdated?

tiktok videos: some local nordic bs skits
ig reels: physics memes (?) and cats
x videos: massacre footage from africa, soft porn, suicide videos

great selection

the llm boom has been a major let down in terms of startups

i can't believe people used to actually have to learn latex

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

with a sufficiently complex codebase, you can yap with an agent for hours and still not have the faintest clue how the code works. the same thing happens with news; you can read the ft and whatnot for hours and still be completely in the blue

@mxcl i think you're trying to find success from a place of weakness and vulnerability. by making yourself think the clovk is ticking down and you gotta create something now or never. where is your advantage in that?

dario has gone from my fav ai person to like barely top 50

recent anthropic comms are so stupid and pretentious

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

having a burnout as an unaccomplished person feels so goofy because like how am i burning out after doing a bunch of bullshit for work? like einstein single handedly did the annus mirabilis and was probably feeling light as a feather and here i am with my goofy 9-5 and coursework

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

all religions i know are really anthropocentric. even the simulation theory. why do you think we have any significance whatsoever in reality?

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

using claude code on big codebases is not only very slow, but it makes a surprising amount of mistakes / stupid code and you have no idea what is going on in your "own" code. it's pretty bad as it stands.

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

don't fret your choices in life and whether they are "the right" choices. by default you are making the choices that are exactly the right ones for you. in fact, if you overthink your choices you may end up doing things that a person like you shouldn't be doing.

it has to have something to do with the commercial nature of the project

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

i really dislike the futurism/scifi slop around spacex

it's a cool company and incredible engineering but why do people seem to have some kind of out of body tier experience regarding the launches

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

it's really difficult for me to put in to words the disillusionment wrt conscious experience that i've gone through in the last year. it started with depersonalization and derealization. and then it just entirely consumed me. i can no longer distinguish reality from a game engine

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

you know when you are working on something and the thing you're making fucking sucks? you should probably still finish it because if you only work on things that don't suck then you never make it through the phase in which the things you make suck :D

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

work on idea

idea is not particularly appealing but works

you are in niche

tectonic plates shift

idea important

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

work on idea

idea doesn't "seem" good and is not analytically tractable

idea works

building a unicorn seems easy, just haven't felt like it yet

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

how vibe coding feels like

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

and your code will be better

[sinuhe @probably_sinuhe]

the problem with AI coding in large codebases rn is that it doesn't really get better or faster over time, there's no learning curve. if you implement stuff yourself instead you start knowing the codebase by heart and after some time you may be as fast or faster than using cc
