Churchill during ww2 on what he wanted for Britain. Incredible that the freedoms he fought to defend in the face of a takeover by a Nazi regime are now being taken away by Britain’s own leadership.

one interesting way to improve performance on coding w/LLMs is to have it generate 3-5 responses at same time then have another model review it's answers and select best one (or ideally be able to test all it's solutions in parallel somehow and choose the one that works) i find myself doing this already when solving bugs i'll open 3 grok windows w/think mode, 2 o3-mini-high windows, 2 o1-pro windows and paste the file and context in all of them oftentimes 2-3 out of the 7 will solve the issue and the other ones won't

code always does exactly what you tell it to do. that is also the problem sometimes when what you told it to do was dumb 🤣

not too long from now writing code by hand will feel like doing manual punchcards that got fed into a mainframe back in the day. people will look at what we're doing now and it will feel absolutely absurd

anyone run into this on cursor where after 5-8 exchanges into an agent session its diff will just get stuck and not apply? will stay in a perpetual loading state and show the yellow status indicator like this if you do new composer session and tell it to apply the same change it'll do it and won't get stuck (but obv you lose the context of previous session) cc @amanrsanger @shaoruu @mntruell

Post ASI world is going to be v interesting for the % of the population that have the restless drive where you have to keep building the next thing and pursuing the next goal. If there is nothing left to solve, then what do we put our energy into? Especially when you couple that w/ the fact that we will likely be able to live thousands to tens of thousands of years if we choose. Maybe exploration. You can explore the universe for a very long time. Or maybe we will find something else. Interesting to chew on
