> I spent four years building production public key infrastructure in Golang before LLMs

Do you think you might perhaps have a bias in the same way that my 9+ years of Typescript usage and advocacy would cause me to have a bias or a material interest?

There is nothing non-trivial you can make that involves the web that is better with Go than Typescript. I look at your personal page and I see that you're already struggling to manage state and css and navigation, or that those things aren't interesting to you.

This tells me you have limited web experience, just as I have limited experience making build scripts at Google and you would probably find my server-side concurrency fairly crude.

Still, you lump Python and Typescript together as "equally frustrating for LLMs" tells me you are not speaking out of direct experience. But the lumping in of Typescript and Python feels really, empirically wrong to me as someone with a foot in both those worlds.

> When LLMs have to navigate Python and TypeScript there is a massive combinatorial space of frameworks, typing approaches, and utility libraries.

I'm right there with you with Python! Lumping in static and dynamic languages is not correct here. Most Python code is from a fragmented ecosystem that took 10+ years to migrate from 2 to 3 and often there is no indication in the corpus even what major version it is and typing caught on very slowly. That's going to be a major problem for a long time, whereas no recent LLM has never ever ever confused .js for .ts or suddenly started writing Node .v12 and angular into a Node 22 and vue project.

I'm happy to throw down the gauntlet if you ever want to have a friendly go vs typescript vibe-code off that spans a reasonably sophisticated full-stack project over three or four hours of live coding.

If you feel like I'm a mean person and attacking you for wanting proof that Typescript is not at parity or superior to Go in terms of LLM legibility, I still would really like you to consider how you can demonstrate your virtuosity and value judgements best.

I've been tinkering with computers for 20 years now, working for the last 9, building a variety of side-projects & prototypes; most recently a binary data-format using gradual typing and writing a wiki focused on voxels. My focus lies mostly around compilers/DSLs, graphics and web-technology.

The current job/contract of creating an "Welding-Assembly Process-Tracking, Reconstruction and Reporting"-System (using C#/Typescript/PostgreSQL) is nearing completion (~1.5 months), so I'm looking for new/interesting opportunities... excluding AI/LLM related things.

I’ve been using Steve Yegge’s Beads[1] lightweight issue tracker for this type of multi-agent context tracking.

I only run a couple of agents at a time, but with Beads you can create issues, then agents can assign them to themselves, etc. Agents or the human driver can also add context in epics, and I think you can have perpetual issues which contain context too. Or could make them as a type of issue yourself, it’s a very flexible system.

It won't. This article misses the almost certain reality that the support of the Gulf states for this conflict (and the others that passed, and those that will follow) came from incentives like having infra investments on their soil.

Divesting away from the Gulf after something as trivial as this would be a complete rug-pull. And it would end the Abraham Accords.

Don't get me wrong: it will happen at some point. But not now. Not until the Abraham Accords have served their purpose.

Some sort of software like ComfyUI with variable application of model specific personality traits would be great - increase conscientiousness, decrease neuroticism, increase openness, etc. Make it agentic; have it do intermittent updates based on a record of experiences, and include all 27 emotional categories, with an autonomous update process so it adapts to interactions in real time: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1702247114

Could be very TARS like, lol.

It'd also be interesting to do a similar rolling record of episodic memory, so your agent has a more human like memory of interactions with you.

Another thing to consider about LLMs is that the nature of the training and the core capability of transformers is to mimic the function of the processes by which the training data was produced; by training on human output, these LLMs are in many cases implicitly modeling the neural processes in human brains which resulted in the data. Lots of hacks, shortcuts, low resolution "good enough" approximations, but in some cases, it's uncovering precisely the same functions that we use in processing and producing information.

I think the largest issue with health care right now is that the US is artificially shrinking the supply of Doctors. This is due to:

1. Size of medical school classes not increasing with population

2. US has an artificially small amount of residency slots.

These are largely due to AMA lobbying afaik and bad bills. But if we allowed every qualified medical student to enroll, and gave a residency slot to every graduate. In a decade we would have really shrunk the gap.

I do not like the idea of throwing up road blocks solely to make life harder for any group of people.

Neither do I. Such tests are supposed to be performed at weigh stations. In my opinion a road block would only be required if unqualified truckers are sharing notes on how to bypass weigh stations and there are no cameras catching this behavior or if unqualified drivers are traveling in packs to cause back-ups at the weigh stations. That needs to be fixed if so.

I mentioned two as an example, but they expelled significantly more. In 1933 they brought in laws that immediately ousted many Jews from public positions, which caused a mass exodus of intellectuals from the country. James Franck was another prominent physicist who left in protest, and he went on to work directly for the Manhattan Project.

The Nazis drawing a distinction between "Jewish mathematics" and "German mathematics" was also very real.

It's hard to imagine these policies had no effect on their ability to do research, and that it was purely a matter of funding.

"Boris Stoicheff, wrote how the mathematician Edmund Landau was 'physically prevented from entering his classroom by about seventy of his students, some wearing SS uniforms.' They demanded 'German mathematics' instead of 'Jewish mathematics.' One estimate is that the 15% of scientists in Germany who had been fired accounted for about 60% of the country’s physics-based publications."

I have an openclaw install on an old Mac Mini and realized i wasn't using the audio out, so I ran it through a Macrosilicon capture card into a Hitachi V-1100A oscilloscope (100MHz, circa 1983 i think?) and told Claude to emit different sounds based on what actions it was taking.

Kind of dumb, but pretty fun.

I "adapted" to losing the fingerprint reader.

Wow, it has a lot of unexpected downsides.

I've a lot of unexpected behavior from the faceid thing. Lots of unexpected swipe-ups that drop me out of an app and put me on the home screen. Can't unlock in the dark, too close to your face, off to the side, in your pocket. Lots of "I saw your face an unlocked" that I didn't know had happened.

fingerprint sensor unlocked when you wanted it to, with haptics. switching apps was a button operation, not happening when you didn't expect it.

What is currently considered the DoD was built after WW2 as the "National Military Establishment" by the "National Security Act of 1947" which restructured and reformed significant war and military assets under the "Secretary of Defense" and the NME was very quickly renamed the "Department of Defense".

The "Department of War" during WW2 was in control of the Army, and was separate from the Department of the Navy and eventual Department of the Air Force (spun off from the Army) and was headed by the "Secretary of War".

Changing the name to "Defense" was an intentional act by a President and government who wanted to reduce the power of the Military Industrial Complex and reduce the "War" focus of a subset of the government, and force the different departments to work together and share toys.

The reorganization was desired for many reasons but Truman made lots of talk about how this was about the national defense and made gestures to the Pearl Harbor attack as something relevant. Different departments failing to work together was a huge problem during WW2, and other wars. Putting them all under one single cabinet position, the Secretary of Defense, was a significant point.

This vocab was used during the war, about the reorganization being about the defense of the nation.

Similarly, NATO is a defense only pact, in very clear terms.

There was tons of debate in the US government at the time as to whether we had viable intelligence of the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor ahead of time and it wasn't properly utilized or disseminated. In fact, there were many such instances in the Pacific Theater early on, where poor intelligence handling resulted in worse battle outcomes.

The point of the Department of Defense is to Defend America, and they do that by being in control of our Military. Letting our defense assets bully the world is the Utter Failure of the American voting public over the past 100 years.

And that reason was that it was the standard before the standard was rethought. There's no deeper meaning to it.

And we rethought it yet again, should we go on the time standard (DST) that we're already on for ~65% of the year, or the one we're on for ~35% the year.

It should be pretty obvious why DST is the new winner, it's the current standard.

If you were utterly confused, like I was, how the iPad Air M4 compares to the iPad Pro M5 and the iPad Pro M4, this 3-column comparison table from Apple's website might help:

https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/?modelList=ipad-air-11-m4...

The quick summary:

- iPad Air has 2 stereo speakers, rather than 4 speakers as Pro models

- Touch ID in top button rather than FaceID as Pro models

- iPad Air is slightly heavier (???) than either Pro model

- screen of iPad Air is a bit less bright

- no nano-texture display option on iPad Air

- no true Thunderbolt connectivity through USB-C port on iPad Air

- all devices can use same Apple Pencil Pro...

- ... but the iPad Air takes a special Magic Keyboard (supposedly due to form factor)

- camera array is slightly different on iPad Air (no ProRes video)

Sadly, the divorce rate is over 50% for parents of spina bifida children. My daughter is almost 7 and my wife and I are happy, we have a good life and I’m fortunate to have a career that lets her stay at home to tend to our daughters multiple monthly doctors appointments, and one where I can largely work from home to help when she needs carrying (which is often!)

That said, our daughter is a miracle, she’s intellectually sharp, and we do everything we can to give her all the experiences any other bright and outgoing child would have. I hold her up so she can play the games she can’t reach at Dave and Busters, even if my arms get tired. We go on hikes with an expensive stroller that’s also a bike made for off road biking because we read Little House and she wanted to know what prairie looked like. We plan on getting an RV to take her to national parks.

Her wheelchair tennis coach recently tried an exoskeleton that allows him to walk at a research lab in New York, she was elated. She asks me when her robot legs are coming. I tell her we don’t know but robots in every house would certainly help that sort of technology move forward. I tell her “they’ve got to test it on adults before kids can get one!”

When she was one, they told us to make plans for the future, to get our affairs in order. Three years later the palliative care worker who had told us our child wouldn’t live past her second birthday came to visit us during a hospital visit and talk to us, so happy to see a case where they’d all been wrong. I’m so happy they were.

https://www.wipo.int/web-publications/wipo-guide-to-trade-se... is likely a good source for the "what constitutes trade secret"

To enjoy trade secret protection, the above mentioned three criteria (i.e., secrecy, commercial value because of the secrecy, and reasonable steps taken by trade secret holders to maintain secrecy) must be complied with (see section 2.1 for the criteria to be met).

Trade secrets can be protected for an unlimited period of time, unless they cease to meet the criteria for trade secret protection.

Trade secret holders can seek protection only where unauthorized disclosure, acquisition or use of their trade secrets is made in a manner contrary to honest commercial practice. In other words, they do not enjoy the type of “exclusive rights” that are generally available for other categories of IP. This will be discussed in the next section.

One of the things there though is that trade secrets don't have exclusive rights. If you write code and then distribute the application, trade secrets don't protect it anymore.

There's also a section on trade secrets and digital objects... which includes code ... and that gets into other challenges.

https://www.wipo.int/web-publications/wipo-guide-to-trade-se...

Copyright is another form of intellectual property protection available to code and algorithms. However, it should be noted that certain jurisdictions do not permit an owner to assert both trade secret and copyright, especially if the copyrighted software discloses a majority of the source code or the “proprietary” portions. In the Capricorn case, the court held that the source code owner was barred from asserting trade secret protection because the code was also registered as a copyright, and thus available to the public. Therefore, the source code owner should carefully consider the pros and cons of each type of protection.

... it also has guidance on trade secrets and LLMs.

AI agents coding with APIs hit a wall: outdated endpoints from old training data. You're constantly telling them to web search for current docs.

So, I built this: it takes any API and generates clean Markdown docs, complete with per-endpoint details (free/paid features, pricing, etc.). Now agents get real-time, accurate context, no manual prompting needed.

OpenClaw in most cases also going to use the very same dedicated tools, maybe variation of those tools dumbed down for LLM.

Almost every time I have an idea for AI Agent, I end up just making a script/binary that does the same, but so much faster that adding AI to it feels silly.

Recently I made a tool router that runs locally for such tools. Some tools have no arguments at all. Claude created a quick overlay where I can text/speak, and it will do tool call, without me asking for it, Claude added 4 buttons next to text input that bypass agent and just do a "tool call". I barely use text-to-command because those 4 buttons cover 9/10 of my use cases.

At this point I'm trying to come up with tools to add to it, so it's actually useful as an agent. Almost everything ends up being a cronjob or webhook triggered thing instead.

> Still, I don't care that the phones are faster, have larger screens, better camera, FaceID, AI, are thinner light and what have you. The iPhone design peaked in 2015, from there they could just have release the same phone year after year, making it cheaper and cheaper and I'd still be happy with it.

This obviously isnt relevant generally though, this is not how the general public feels at all.

> Something that surprised us early on: only a tiny fraction of farmed fish species have been through genetic improvement programs. Chickens grow 4x faster than they did in 1950 because of decades of selective breeding.

I agree that there is an opportunity here for getting more calories per fish (and especially per input of feed, which is really what decades of chicken optimization are about). But the consequences of these changes for chicken welfare have been disastrous [0] and we're seeing a concerted effort to move to higher-welfare breeds (though still more efficient than ancestral breeds). Likewise, intensive salmon farming has led to widespread '“environmental dewilding,” or the process of modifying natural water bodies with artificial infrastructure — in this case, fish farm pens and cages — and polluting them' [1]. It sounds like there are lots of ways in which using more robots can make monitoring less-invasive, and therefore less stressful for fish. I certainly hope to see those attributes, rather than the potentially disastrous ones, emphasized as you move forward.

I don't think number of parallel agents is the right productivity metric, or at least you need to account for agent efficiency.

Imagine a superhuman agent who does not need to run in endless loops. It could generate 100k line code-base in a few minutes or solve smaller features in seconds.

In a way, the inefficiency is what leads people to parallelism. There is only room for it because the agents are slow, perhaps the more inefficient and slower the individual agents are, the more parallel we can be.

They spend plenty of time adding "pro" features and apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, which they wouldn't do unless they wanted people to use them.

I'm willing to bet it's as simple as that no Apple SWEs or anyone who has to edit video or sound uses an ipad for work. As soon as Apple forced some to use one, they'd fix all of the UI problems that make them a nightmare.

I see a huge problem with Latin alphabet (with or without modifications) being shared among different languages is that it is almost never transliterated from one such language to another (I think the Baltic and the Slavs may still be doing that), which can make foreign names look like something imagined by a low-key LLM.
