>literally the only use

I live in Taiwan

Can you find me an insurance company that will pay me out in case of a war with China? From what I see absolutely no one will insure that.

A $1k premium paid to Polymarket will cover me handsomely in the event of war and pay out instantly with no hassles.

A counterpoint to your hyperbole.


Closed source DNA testing software and hardware is a travesty imo


Someone dropped $100k polymarket on US attacking Iran that day, it sent the whole place into a frenzy.

There's degeneracy and then there's insiders and that's how these places work.

This account had no prior trades.


>Of course it's you / partially you

Absolutely love your work, go strong. I click these thread and always expect your name to pop up


Creatine ruins my sleep Find myself getting up multiple times a night to pee.

Even once is rare unless I've been out drinking for the night.


That's interesting. I'm having the same problem. I usually have it after my workout in the evening. Should I try moving it to earlier in the day?


In my experience, it's the workout itself that ruins sleep when it's in the evening. My theory is that it's because of the adrenaline generated by muscle strain.


I take it first thing in the morning and only have this issue early in the day. I don't know if that has some effect on its efficacy but it is more convenient for me.


Radiative cooling in space is not some unsolved problem.

The problem is whether it's worth the launch costs for it.


Enjoyed the article but a note to the author it's not nice to read on mobile (Firefox Android)


This is oh sweet summer child stuff.

Have you ever gone to a crowded public place and setup an open hotspot?


Ah I think I never had to do connect to a public open hotspot because by the time I grew up 4G and then 5G internet were commonplace.


And you have them in your laptop? Or just using your phone and don't own a laptop at all?


I would use my phone's 'hotspot' long before I tried random wifi on my laptop?


Are you being willfully obtuse or do you actually believe that's true of everyone? There are so many reasons why someone might have a laptop in such a situation but not be able to use a hotspot on their phone - it's not even worth listing them.


That isn't what this thread suggested; I was supporting plausibility of the GP's claim never to have used public Wifi because of good 4G; stating they could still have used a laptop in public. My wording was also explicit that this isn't always an option.


Never travelled to another country and needed internet before you could get a local sim working?


Airport is prime for this but in general the average person keeps wifi on and the click through on an Android to use open networks is so seamless


esim for the win.


Am not a fan of dealing with worktrees Maybe for larger longer lived tasks but the time spent on merges from different agents is definitely a big headwind for parallel work.

This seems handled by this new agent which is cool.

I gave up on worktrees and hacked together a solution with fine-grained lockfiles for editing, running builds, etc that worked surprisingly good for what it was


Can't speak for copilot but Gemini cli is unbelievably bad compared to Gemini web.

CC has some magic secret sauce and I'm not sure what it is.

My company pays for both too, I keep coming back to Claude all-round


Claude Code is one of a very few AI tools where I genuinely think the people at the company who build it use it all the time.


They absolutely do, the CEO has come out and said a few engineers have told him that they dont even write code by hand anymore. To some people that sounds horrifying, but a good engineer would not just take code blindly, they would read it and refine it using Claude, while still saving hundreds of man hours.

TBH, that isn't sustainable. Skills atrophy. At some point they are going take the code blindly.

Considering what they have said in the past about agentic code changes, they are already doing just that - blindly approving code from the agent. I say this because when I last read what one of their engineers on CC tweeted/posted/whatever, I thought to myself "No human can review that many lines of code per month"[1].

---------

[1] IIRC, it was something stupid like 30kLoc reviewed in a month by a single engineer.


>>Skills atrophy.

I keep telling my friends while experienced devs feel extremely productive. The newer ones will likely not develop skills needed to work with finer aspects of code.

This might work for a while, but you do a year or two of this, and then as little as a small Python script will feel like yak shaving.



I know they do because of how painfully awful the Claude web/Claude desktops uxui is, as well as performance.


watch the interviews with Boris. He absolutely uses it to build CC.


s/AI//


I would love to hear/see a definitive answer for this, but I read somewhere that the relationship between MS and \A is such that the copilot version of the \A models has a smaller context window than through CC.

This would explain the "secret sauce", if it's true. But perhaps it's not and a lot is LLM nondeterminism mixing with human confirmation bias.
