I have an open question for software engineers out there: As someone that has never studied CS but has written basic code most of my life (accelerated now with AI), where is the best place to learn so…

Your comment lead me down a rabbit hole of space micromanagement. OSTPV (onboard short-term planner viewer) is the software they use to basically schedule every minute of your space flight. Basically …

They obviously know how unpopular this is, or else they wouldn't be releasing on a Friday night. This is so unimaginably disruptive, I wonder who inside the administration is suggesting this.

Is it just me or is this happening way more frequently in the last 4 or 5 months? Coincidently around the same time the models got a lot more capable?

I think the opposite is true. To dethrone the top tech company, you need to be able to spend much less than them, at higher efficiency and faster growth. Google didn’t catch up to Microsoft and Apple …

Glad to see Searle's Chinese Room mentioned early on in the paper. "Syntax is not sufficient for semantics," no matter how much compute we throw at the problem. My very amateur view is …

While I applaud her and wish her well — writing like this reminds me of a couple of things. First my aging father insisting on navigating using his unfortunately fading memory instead of Google maps. …

Is this just to encourage off-peak usage to get the most out of hardware investments?

I’m working on Green Tea. A open source note app built on Pi agent framework. Basically gives you the power of a coding agent harness for knowledge work in an electron app. No accounts required, all d…

VPS + Dokploy gives you just as much functionality with an additional performance boost. Hostinger has great prices and a one-click setup. Good for dozens of small projects.

Haven't been able to run any actions for the last 30 mins... also had two in progress that were cancelled. Are there any good OSS ways to self-host gh compatible runners?

Couldn't a human just use an LLM browser extension / script to answer that quickly? This is a really interesting non-trivial problem.

The pendulum is swinging back slightly, but I wouldn’t pronounce it dead just yet. We are seeing a decline of American hegemony, accelerated by this current regime. And the ascendancy of a non-democra…

This is awesome, great work! There’s a huge audience for something like this based on the popularity of Kerbal Space Program. Biggest low-hanging fruit UI improvement would be mobile responsiveness. I…

Exactly this... I think there will be a golden age of excel replacement SaaS solutions with highly customized UX and workflows for vertical use cases. But, at the same time a lot more competition. Reg…

In my experience, the golden age of indie software is about to begin. LLMs and coding agents will make building vertical and niche software much more cost effective. In the last 3 months, I’ve built a…
