If you have a really desirable job I wouldn't think twice about a few hours long drive/flight but eventually creativity wins the game for the hiring side. E.g. No offices, no problem: Either you recruit where you already have people or find trustees. I'd be happy to hold remote interview assist in the Colorado Springs (pot. Denver) area in my small 3ppl office if anyone from a remote-only corp doesn't have anyone on-site and wants to give it a shot...
Perhaps these will eventually be simple pills, and the nanobot finds its way through the body, either on its own or perhaps with some external electromagnetic field.

Thanks to tools like aider and claude code, these scaffold projects are getting more and more helpful. Just clone it and prompt it for your use case.
Nice point.

Indeed, it is possible to build tools elsewhere. The question is: do you build them, and if yes, when?

What we show with GT is that it is possible to build such tools for every development problem. This leads to thousands of micro tools per system that should co-exist.

GT is not a large tool to rule them all. In the Unix analogy, it is Unix, not one of the tools :).

This still leaves the question of why would want to build those tools when there are standard tools already? Because systems are highly contextual. This means we can predict classes of problems but not specific ones, which then means that any clicking tool built before the problem is known will not be addressing the specificity of that problem.

This is actually not that new of an idea. Testing is already done like that. We do not download tests from the web and run them on our system. We develop them as part of development after we know the problem. It's that contextualization that makes us stop every time a single test fails as we know that each of them captures something that our system specifically cares about.

Now, a test is a tool. We can extend the same idea to any other tool.

Does this address the question?
THe reason I asked is because I have just read several articles in more scientific sources linked here asserting that the latest genetic evidence suggests there was no interbreeding, because wolves and dires were so genetically distant.
it still is. if user has 1 bad tool, it's done!

I think the main difference is that you physically need to go to a notary in Germany. But that meeting takes like 10 minutes, it's all boilerplate.
Yep, it's less about if you're using AI and more about how you're integrating it into your workflow. At this point, using AI tools is becoming a baseline expectation in many roles, not a red flag. But yeah, the moment someone can't explain the rationale behind a decision (especially in their own code) that's a huge issue.
Quite a tangent, but what if we apply this logic of informed consent to property? If a person without a will dies, should we leave their house abandoned until it decomposes? Automatic organ donation is like probate for bodies.
Yes, but it is sometimes used to dismiss any actionable insights that can be used in politics.

”Would never work here, the culture is different!”

Maybe Im just ranting…
North Koreans and South Koreans are the same race, divided only by fairly recent politics. This is nationalist, if anything, not racist. Try replacing "North Korean" with "Soviets".
Well, the blog post is 14 years old.

It's an interesting showcase in how we (or at least I) assumed what the lifecycle of hyperlinks would be. (My assumption was they would perhaps 404 at some point, but not this.)

Does the user agent fit the definition of a web crawler? If so, then observe robots.txt. This one does not, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler
But fixing a bug requires time from your side (mainly doing the investigation) and from others (code reviews). So if the whole team is working on an “important” epic (this is, one with a deadline, like any other epic) and you come out of the blue with a bugfix unrelated to the epic without telling anyone: well, that’s weird isn’t it? Your EM/PM will ask you why you didn’t prioritise the epic’s tasks, and your colleagues could say that they cannot switch their focus or gather time for reviewing your fix (more so that it’s something that the EM/PM hasn’t approved).

So unless you are overworking (e.g., you work in your jira tasks AND on top of that you fix bugs) I don’t see it.

I would love to work on things that make sense like stabilising the system and all, but I work on whatever sells or whatever the EM/PM wants. These days unfortunately, shipping >>> fixing.

One could suspect, and many have, that this is the reason.

You’re acting like the only different between GitHub and Bitbucket was the choice of VCS tool. That’s obviously not even remotely true. GitHub was a superior platform that was more pleasant to use than Bitbucket. The choice of Git had nothing to do with that.

GitHub won. Not Git. IMHO.
The AI Challenges were so cool and I had hoped there would be more of them.

A "humbling experience" is definitely the right choice of words.

I did some minor work on a PoC for the one after Ants. It was multi-player (or: multi-bot) Asteroids but things fizzled out as most of the people organizing moved on to other things.

I mean , if money is going to go to the rich.

There is a simple mechanism to distribute the money from the rich back to middle class / poor.

Its called taxes.

Basically, Trump shouldn't have done tariff and instead just taxed the rich after a certain point.

Oh wait, I think that sounds familiar.

Of course I am not saying tax them 90% and of course, you might say that there are loopholes. How are we going to distribute money from stocks? And you are right. But the thing trump is doing isn't working or maybe its working as intended by trump being a chatgpt wrapper.

If even trump literally just sat and did nothing, it would have been more beneficial.

I mean, Europe also has a high tax rate, its not that bad to have a high tax rate if you genuinely want equality, though I presume nobody really wants that. And Lobbying is legal in america which really shocks me.

I had said it time and time again. Trust is like a glass ball,once broken it can't be recovered. I feel like people are however still in shock of that glass ball being fallen and are in disbelief, But you guys gotta know whom y'all elected is doing harm.

The whole New UI debacle really set the tone and expectations and I don't see them changing. They seem like a different company these days? Maybe I didn't really notice in the past.
Completely agree with the distinction you're making: framing is fine, fabrication is a deal-breaker. It's frustrating how often people conflate "putting your best foot forward" with just making stuff up, especially when they underestimate how easily it can fall apart during reference checks or follow-ups.
It is a way of dismissing clear rules.

Because it’s not that it is used to attack people that are different, but it is used to deincentive bad behaviour, but by conflating the two you end up in a bad place, where incentives are…misaligned.
Considering the capital burn rate here, I suspect that waiting years between iterations will be a hard pill to swallow for investors.

> Suppose it does become a thing, what then? We end up with an internet which is heavily optimised for bots (arguably it already is to an extent) and unusable for humans?

As opposed to the Web we now have, which is heavily optimized for... wasting human life.

What you're asking for, what "large companies such as CloudFlare have spent millions on", is verifying that on the other end of the connection is a web browser, and behind that web browser there is a human being that's being made to needlessly suffer and waste their limited lifespans, as they tediously work their way through the UI maze like a good little lab rat, watching ads at every turn of the corridor, while being constantly surveilled.

Or do you believe there is some other reason why you should care about whether you're interacting with a "human" (really: an user agent called "web browser") vs. "not human" (really: any other user agent)?

The relationship between the commercial web and its users is antagonistic - businesses make money through friction, by making it more difficult for users to accomplish their goals. That's why we never got the era of APIs and web automation for users. That's why we're dealing with tons of bespoke shitty SPAs instead of consistent interfaces - because no store wants to make it easy for you to comparison-shop, or skip their upsells, or efficiently search through the stock; no news service wants you to skip ads or make focused searches, etc.

As users, we've lost the battle for APIs and continue to be forced to use the "manual web" (with active cooperation of the browser vendors, too). MCP feels promising because we're in a moment in time, however brief, where LLMs can navigate the "manual web" for us, shielding us from all the malicious bullshit (ads, marketing copy, funneling, call to actions, confusing design, dark patterns, less dark patterns, the fact that your store is a bloated SPA instead of an endpoint for a generic database querying frontend, and so on) while remaining mostly impervious to it. This will not last long - the vendors de-facto ruling the web have every reason to shut it down (or turn it around and use LLMs against us). But for now, it works.

Adversarial interoperability is the name of the game. LLMs, especially combined with tool use (and right tools), make it much easier and much more accessible than ever before. For however brief a moment.
This is not how hyperscaler economics works.
It has also been designed to dissolve into the body when no longer needed, sparing patients invasive surgery.

More likely, it will just remain a (hopefully) inert embedded implant. If it has active electronics, and thus semiconductors, I doubt e.g. silicon will dissolve.

Thank you for giving it a try and suggestion.

The first goal was to help us explore how far can the idea of contextual tools go. It helped discover what today we call Moldable Development. It is also the first extensive case study of Moldable Development, itself offering 5+K contextual tools that we used to develop the environment itself. And when we work on a system, we build thousands more.

That said, now that we know what Moldable Development is, it can be copied. We want people to copy it. Our worry though is that we want people to copy everything, not only the visible parts.

For example, I understand the Emacs parallel. But think of this: while Emacs can be extended, how many extensions do you actually use that are specific to your system? We literally use thousands. Per system. That quantitative difference leads to a qualitative difference and it's made possible because of the totality of the environment.
The file-tree-snapshot-ref structure is pretty good, but it lacks chunking at the file and tree layers, which makes it inefficient with large files and trees that don't change a lot. Modern backup tools like restic/borg/etc use something similar, but with chunking included.

I don't think this has anything to do with using AI for prep. 20 years ago I was interviewing candidates who had somewhat lied on their resume, knew some of the things that they'd written about, but had everything fall apart under a little more questioning of what exactly they'd done and why.
In most highly developed countries, there is a probation period for 90+ days for new hires. During this period, you can be fired for any reason. It is not an expensive as people think to fire someone who deceived your hiring process. However, institution inertia is real.

That said, I very much agree with your last paragraph. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a lot of hiring was done this way in the US.
That’s already mostly true except for Europe. OVH, Hetzner, etc. are not hyperscale providers nor have they shown the ability to evolve in that direction over the past decade, and to be honest the conditions in Europe are just not there for any one of them to evolve into a “proper” cloud provider.

Cloud isn’t VMs, it’s managed services.

But you guys really think birth rate is some magic.

India has an overpopulation issue. In India, we literally have more people than jobs.
So you guys could just tap into India.

China is also similar, except it has outgrown its master. So I can understand the mistrust.
But america put tariffs on India as well which is just ... funny.

Also if america really falls into a recession (60% chance, like I mentioned in my other comment), how much do you think the US would be doing "OK"

I think what the US is right now, is failed democracy. I mean, I used to hate my government, but it was because of their political views/ I just felt that a tiny change in the Indian system is needed (like Media , incentives for middle class), I have hope in India. India can truly change if need be.

I have no hope for america.

Are you serious? Surveillance has been on the agenda at least for 25 years. Maybe Trump is president because his opposition cannot match his very, very smart mental capacities as they tumble to make such topics some bipartisan issue.

Non-source files should indeed never be in the VCS, but source files can still be binary, or large, or both. It depends on how you are editing the source and building the source into non-source files.

gas and oil pipelines from russia thru ukraine are slovak state property.

russian gas is cheaper is russian propagandist lie. or it is true but in sense that there are bribes prized in.

slovakia pays market price but percentage of that price is diverted to bank accounts in russia and turkey (or atleast was ,there is chatter that they moved some money to east asia because of sanctions) as a payment for slovak gov signing deal with russia until i think 2030 or 2035 or something like that. for example similar contract with ukraine was signed only for 10 years (i have no info about bribes in UA). and it ended last december...

russia is paying hungary and slovak governments to transport fossils, so governments do not have reason to do reverse adria flow, bring fossils from other pipelines etc etc.

( irony is that someone hacked czech premier Fialas ExTwitter account instead of Filip Turek nazi .... account )

as i understood it, LCOE for battery + renewables is on par with nuclear for years, and similar price of gas peaking... + EU is doing all sorts of programs to lower energy needs of buildings...

"funny" thing is that future chinese battery manufacturing capacity IN EUROPE will displace russian gas in long term...

Indeed this is one of the big considerations of adoption or organ donation. Both revolutionized their respective markets: trafficking and involuntary organ trade. To say nothing of abortion and gay marriage - two much desired things in the US which nonetheless revolutionized the market for unethical embryo termination and involuntary marriage.
a war would likely involve nukes.

Please brother, don't make me imagine a world war with nukes. The whole world is going to collapse, It would take us atleast three century back and it would be the darkest chapter ever.

I think there are some really smart people in the world. We can use them to create beautiful discoveries. Seriously, it sends me shivers thinking of a world war, but it may happen, and I have no control over it. I have to just watch the world wither away.
Great to hear!

I would be happy to learn more about the specific need you see in your work context. Either here or on our Discord.

If you are interested to learn more about kinds of problems and how it fits in the development environment, perhaps take a look at the book I am writing in the open with Simon Wardley (we recently released the first four chapters):

I think the difference is that you used to need a certain knowledge to be able to bullshit. You could still do it, but it would mainly be to embellish stuff you already somewhat know. With LLMs, it's easy to make it write a whole page of interview prep you can use to hide your tracks, without any prior knowledge. My guess is they saw that kapwing wanted experience in X,Y,Z and made an LLM create projects that sounds real in a way you otherwise wouldn't be able to do as easily.

It is corroded. That's why it's green.

Which, yes, means it's bronze, but note that it's being described as an "iron age dagger" and they think it was manufactured in southern Europe and traded to the north. Iron wouldn't be surprising.
Thing is, this is before most of the tariffs go into effect; current tariff impact is really mostly limited to people who care about the stock market. Give it a month or so of price hikes, consumer good shortages, and job losses, and polls may show something different.

In my (albeit limited) experience, there's slack in the workweek, and that slack can provide the required time to do random stuff.

I recognize this isn't true in organizations where everything is micromanaged, work time is tracked in hours or even minutes, and autonomy doesn't exist.

The more the employees are treated like responsible professionals, the more this is possible. And conversely, the more they're like factory workers behind a conveyor belt, the less this is possible.
