I'm part of the subset of developers that was not trained in Machine Learning, so I can't actually code up an LLM from scratch (yet). Some of us are already behind with AI. I think not getting involved in the foundational work of building coding agents will only leave more developers left in the dust. We have to know how these things work in and out. I'm only willing to deal with one black box at the moment, and that is the model itself.

There are a lot of non developer claude code users these days. The hype about vibe coding lets everyone think they can now be an engineer. Problem is if anthropic caters to that crowd the devs that are using it to do somewhat serious engineering tasks and don't believe in the "run an army of parallel agents and pray" methodology are being alienated.

Maybe Claude Code web or desktop could be targeted to these new vibe coders instead? These folks often don't know how simple bash commands work so the terminal is the wrong UX anyway. Bash as a tool is just very powerful for any agentic experience.

Ugh, exposing it with cgit is why.

Put it all behind an OAuth login using something like Keycloak and integrate that into something like GitLab, Forgejo, Gitea if you must.

However. To host git, all you need is a user and ssh. You don’t need a web ui. You don’t need port 443 or 80.

I implemented a process.
- First snapshot. Generated day by day files based on last 2years commit, used Claude to enrich every commit message (why,how,where and output). Also create File.java.md file enriched commit message per file.
- I have the history. Next I embedded all of this to Postgresql database.
- Implemented an MCP to query anything.
- Create whatchdogs to followup projects that I setup, git hook creates stub files per commit.
- And then process enriches new stub files. then indexes it to Postgresql.

I did for all internal projects. And first rule of CLAUDE.md is ask MCP for any information. Now Claude knows what other related projects did, what should adopt for.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! It was fun to build and I almost can't believe I got this to work.

I don't think it would take much to run locally. In fact, before I did this public version I did a local version on an exe.dev VM (more details here: https://dunn.us/notes/vibe-gaming-simcity/).

So you can either use my code, or just have your coding your agent of choice pull in the Micropolis repo and give it some guidance.

So far this is running quite nicely on a $5 cloudflare account. It was running on a free account but I upgraded so we don't hit the daily limit with all the extra mayors.

Shoot me a message if I can help.

like most nutrients, you can weigh them.

for example, you can tell exactly how much protein is in 100g of a complete protein like tofu when compared to 100g of something gross like beef.

similarly, my algae-based capsules contain 1210 mg of omega3s per serving, with 660mg of EPA and 440 of DHA.

> we mostly only know about the benefits of eating fish

nope, this study describes consumption of omega3s, not fish per se.

This isn't fully true.

Snow can be bad enough to a point where even modern cement build building can have trouble.

EDIT: I didn't realize A-frame refers to a _very_ steep angle instead of "just" a slightly steeply tilted roof.

And A-frame roof help but do _not_ magically fix it, with the right kind of snow condition it can get stuck to the roof anyway and turn into ice there. This can be dangerous in 2 ways. 1. Weight and 2. if it randomly comes all crashing down potentially hitting people. And sure it's should be a rare exception if you have stable build buildings. But rare exceptions happens anyway even in places with good infrastructure and/or cities etc.

Similar while power outages really should not happen, sometimes there are natural catastrophes (or terrorist attacks) and power is gone for days anyway.

Being prepared helps. Even if it's a situation which counts as natural disaster and external help will be provided, knowing that you aren't reliant on it and they can focus on people much more in need is nice.

PS: I'm not a preper or anything, just prepared in the sense of basic knowledge and some minimal preparations like flash lights, water, food you can eat without stove, a larger battery, somewhat weather proof clothes, etc. Nothing fancy, nothing usable long term. Just enough to bridge some days of an local emergency situation.

> I don't think this [ed:periodical dilution] makes sense. Our bodies do not use the same blood forever.

You might want to read up on chaperone-mediated autophagy, and how that declines over time. There's a point to be made that yes, in old age we collect things in our blood that don't belong.

It might not be solvable through dilution, but it's not like we get a full blood change every 5K miles either.

We opensourced our claude code ui today: https://github.com/bearlyai/openade

I wanted a terminal feel (dense/sharp) + being able to comment directly on plans and outputs. It's MIT, no cloud, all local, etc.

It includes all the details for function runs and some other nice to haves, fully built on claude code.

Particularly we found planning + commenting up front reduces a lot of slop. Opus 4.6 class models are really good at executing an existing plan down to a T. So quality becomes a function of how much you invest in the plan.

Anecdotal I guess, but when I was in a high school choir, I loathed that my teacher assigned me to the tenor section. It did not fit with the image of myself that the high school version of me held in my head; "a man should be a baritone or bass after puberty!"

I liked choir and stayed in it for all four years, but I was never particularly good at it so what the hell did I know anyway.

I went down a bit of a rabbit-hole trying to figure out exactly who Matt Shumer is and why anyone should care what he thinks. The best information I found came from this article, which was from before he pivoted to being an AI startup bro:

https://www.newsweek.com/i-couldnt-play-rules-so-i-became-en...

It's kind of a sad read. He would benefit a lot from getting outside the startup bubble and talking to some people who do useful work for a living instead of riding internet fads and growthmaxxing via viral social media posts.

With the modest size of the monthly checks, most of them may need to do that anyway.

But the obvious point is to help "artists" in Ireland. It's pretty normal for small nations to want to cultivate / protect / subsidize their arts / culture / language / whatever. The Irish gov't isn't trumpeting this program because they think it'll annoy Irish voters.

I have spent exactly $0.00 on maintenance since 2014 when I bought the car (other than tires, 5G modem and internal battery). not sure what “paying for the car” means, it was paid off in 2017.

to simplify the math:

1. I spent total $90k

2. to have a car from 2014 through 2035-ish

for a $1k/month that would be $252k for my friends :)

That would probably be difficult at optical wavelengths. At radio wavelengths you might have a better shot, but we can build radio interferometric telescopes on Earth and since the atmosphere is relatively transparent at radio frequencies, you probably aren't going to get any advantage by trying to build one in Earth orbit.

> FWIW I think LLMs are a dead end for software development, and that the people who think otherwise are exceptionally gullible.

By this do you mean there isn't much more room for future improvement, or that you feel it is not useful in its current form for software development? I think the latter is hard position to defend, speaking as a user of it. I am definitely more productive with it now, although I'm not sure I enjoy software development as much anymore (but that is a different topic)

> As long as this remains true, UBI can never happen.

New Zealand pays a pension to everyone over 65, whether or not they are working. No means testing and little political will to move the age upward.
About 25% of those over 65 work, and the percentage is growing.

There are multiple reasons this could be true (eg, limited savings forcing work).
The lack of means testing obviously saves money and shenanigans working out who is entitled, though the ‘universal’ nature limited how much a needy recipient can get.

I argue this is a test case on UBI.

> If you hadn't realized, a LOT of companies switched to Claude. No idea why, and this is coming from someone who loves Claude Code.

It is entirely due to Opus 4.5 being an inflection point codingwise over previous LLMs. Most of the buzz there has been organic word of mouth due to how strong it is.

Opus 4.5 is expensive to put it mildly, which makes Claude Code more compelling. But even now, token providers like Openrouter have Opus 4.5 as one of its most popular models despite the price.

>Try using it for a few days. We've been using this internally at Anthropic for about a month now, and found that it took people a few days to mentally switch over to the new UI.

Ah, the old "you're holding it wrong."

Jokes about vibe-coded CLI aside, I think that's the issue for me, the defaults are being tailored to vibe coders. (and the general weirdness of trying to fix it with verbose mode)

I like that people who were afraid of CLIs perhaps are now warming up to them through tools like Claude Code but I don't think it means the interfaces should be simplified and dumbed down for them as the primary audience.

Sure you can press CTRL+O, but that's not realtime and you have to toggle between that and your current real time activity. Plus it's often laggy as hell.

Basic Income and UBI are colloquially synonyms, people use them interchangeably, and the Irish government are almost certainly using it to endear themselves to supporters of UBI and to get more coverage for their policy than media would give them if they just called it a grant.

This happens all the time. For example, in the UK there was a push for a "living wage" in the 2010s, which the government responded to by rebranding the minimum wage the "National Living Wage" and bumping it a little for over-25s.

This seems to be the same thing.

Meanwhile, having children is more difficult than ever. Preschools are asking parents for their attested work schedules, just so they don't sneak an hour of leeway between work and picking up kids... What a bait and switch that was, fool everyone that society will provide, nobody has to stay at home, then inch by inch, little by little, take those things away. Let the rich have their tax breaks though, lest they leave for another social democratic paradise.

Sorry, it's tough seeing this play out in real time.

> FWIW I think LLMs are a dead end for software development, and that the people who think otherwise are exceptionally gullible.

I think this takes away from the main thrust of your argument which is the marketing campaign and to me makes you seem conspiratorial minded. LLMs can be both useful and also mass astroturfing can be happening.

Personally I have witnessed non coders (people who can code a little but have not done any professional software building) like my spouse do some pretty amazing things. So I don’t think it’s useless.

It can be all of:

1. It’s useful for coding

2. There’s mass social media astroturfing happening

3. There’s a massive social overhype train that should be viewed skeptically

4. Theres some genuine word of mouth and developer demand to try the latest models out of curiosity, with some driven by the hype train and irrational exuberance and some by fear for their livelihoods.

> In Sweden it also almost never happens

This just isn’t true, at all - electricity is regularly out for hundreds or thousands of people in Sweden because of snow. This year was especially bad, where thousands were without any electricity for up to 10 or 12 days, but every year brings the same problems. Just google “elavbrott snö” and you’ll find many current examples - just as one instance:

The few very brilliant people I've known devoted themselves to master a subject, at the cost of neglecting others, like socialization. They were not autists by any measure of the condition, just very socially undeveloped. Some embraced the awkwardness, but others chose to be jerks because it is easier than rescuing an atrophied skill. The jock equivalent of wearing baggy pants because they skipped leg days.

I've also known a handful of artists, and some seemed to adopt the tortured artist stereotype out of style, not fate. They were convinced no one would take them seriously artistically if they weren't interesting and eccentric. In their case, being a jerk is a fashion.

I guess my point is, we choose what skills we want to develop, and also if we accept the skill exchange, or make excuses like "I'm bad at X", "I am this way and can't change", etc. Leave that to people that are actually diagnosed with a limiting condition; they usually put a great deal of effort and still need help to succeed.

Author here.
I've seen the docs you linked to: Slurm uses "gang scheduling" to mean something specific (timesliced oversubscription where jobs alternate on shared resources).

I'm using the term in its broader CS sense: all-or-nothing co-scheduling of related processes across multiple processors [1].
This is the definition used across the K8s ecosystem e.g. Volcano [2], Kueue [3], and its Coscheduling plugin all define gang scheduling as "all or nothing" allocation.

I still stand by the origianl claim:

Slurm allocates multi-node jobs atomically, while vanilla K8s doesn't.
its default scheduler places pods as resources become available, leading to partial allocations and deadlocks for distributed training.
It's just a terminology clash. Thanks for the comment anyway.

I had a look and it does look like a great deal for the price. It would probably be good for running home assistant. If you marketed a version with HA preloaded you could beat the Nexus1 AI base station [0] to market.

The thing Home Assistant needs, or any AI assistant like Openclaw, is an affordable smart speaker with a good microphone array and open firmware. I think there would be a good market for that combination, even with people who would be put off by the security and privacy concerns of Openclaw.

As soon as there is a viable alternative to Claude Code, I'm gone after this change. It appears minor on the surface but their response to all the comments tells you everything you need to know. They don't even want to concede at all, or at least give a flag to enable the old behavior, what was deployed and working for many users before. It's a signal that someone, somewhere at Anthropic is making decisions based on ego, not user feedback.

The other fact pattern is their CLI is not open source, so we can't go in and change it ourselves. We shouldn't have to. They have also locked down OpenCode and while there are hacks available, I shouldn't have to resort to such cat and mouse games as someone who pays $200/month for a premium service.

I'm aggressively exploring other options, and it's only a matter of if -- not when, one surfaces.

Governments pick the size of their country's financial markets when they decide what parts of society get traded in those markets.

Pension and healthcare are the two most obvious pieces governments can decide to "make it themselves" or "let companies solve it", and the later option creates the pieces of paper that get traded in financial markets and "frees" money to buy those papers.

And the article ends with the obvious notice that "large markets" is not something good by itself.

If you have an endless pattern of ..., -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, ... and run box blur with a window of 4, you get ..., 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ... too.

Other than that, you're not wrong about theoretical Gaussian filters applied to infinite data, but this has little to do with the scenario the article talks about, which is essentially about the information leaked at the edge of the blur region and then by the discrete step of a finite-size sliding window.

> FWIW I think LLMs are a dead end for software development

Thanks for that, and it's worth nothing FYI.

LLMs are probably the most impressive machine made in recorded human existence. Will there be a better machine? I'm 100% confident there will be, but this is without a doubt extremely valuable for a wide array of fields, including software development. Anyone claiming otherwise is just pretending at this point, maybe out of fear and/or hope, but it's a distorted view of reality.

I feel this in my own life. From well before my working years I had a message ingrained into me: “Do not count on social security to be around when you retire.”

It’s probably not all so drastic as that, but for me (and many other American millennials) my financial ethos has been squarely centered on saving and making hay while the sun shines. Compound that over 300M people and multiple generations and you do get overly deep and inflated capital markets.

Well, the current situation is equally effectively unfunded because you’ve got gains in an investment account that will be competing for a rapidly shrinking working age population in concert with large amounts of voters who don’t have investments but have a vote to vote for someone who will increase taxes to increase benefits. Pick your illusion of generational contract and financialization performance art.

Pensions are no more a Ponzi scheme than a capital market predicated on growth that will not occur due to structural global demographic dynamics. People are too bought into an abstraction while the underlying crumbles.

Taxation and inflation are 2nd order effects. There's a deeper underlying reason.

The point of work is to produce the things we need to live. Somebody's gotta grow the crops, drive the trucks, mop the floors, crunch the numbers, process the paperwork, write the code, whatever.

If you offer enough UBI for people to live without working... the work won't get done, and things we need won't get made.

> If we introduced the death penalty for minor shoplifting, minor shoplifting would probably drop by a huge percentage. Would that justify it?

Of-course it wouldn't - but you are precisely reinforcing my point. Because opponents can claim via evidence that the death penalty is effective for this, if you argue on the basis of "facts". Thus, objectivity should not be used as an argument for an ethical and moral human principle. Such principles stand by themselves to maintain the sanctity of the human soul - no justification needed.
