Quoting Steve Yegge
Quoting Steve Yegge
Gas Town was intended to be reusable, but I only ever wound up using it to build itself. Gas Town fell apart at the seams with Opus 4.7. Up through 4.6 it was working brilliantly. With 4.7 we saw the introduction of the "just two more things" tic, which prevented Opus from ever converging on being ready to do real work—it always wanted to fiddle with Gas Town itself. The Opus tic never went away, so Gas Town effectively burned down. It had other problems, too, but 4.7 was the final straw.…

Don't be a meat proxy
Don't be a meat proxy
Don't be a meat proxy Niklas Gruhn coins an excellent new term - meat proxy - for people who blindly copy and paste the output of AI systems to their peers. By all means, prompt AI. But don't just relay the output. Read it, understand it, validate it, and then write a response in your own words (a decent certificate that you've done the prior steps). Making that effort is value you can add. Via Lobste.rs Tags: definitions, ai, generative-ai, llms, ai-misuse

Quoting David Crawshaw's prompt
Quoting David Crawshaw's prompt
Set up a nightly cron job that executes the prompt: fetch upstream changes to the <software> and rebase all local changes on top of upstream. Check that the software works as intended and replace the current version. — David Crawshaw's prompt, Devtools must be open source Tags: prompt-engineering, coding-agents, generative-ai, ai, llms, open-source

Devtools must be open source (exe.dev)
Devtools must be open source (exe.dev)
My comment on Devtools must be open source (exe.dev) — Hacker News.One of the arguments for open source software for end-users has always been the freedom to examine and modify how that software works. The reality for most people - even expert programmers - has been that the freedom is more about being able to lean on other people to do that. Most people can't justify the time commitment needed to read and then modify the code for tools they use very often. I think LLMs have changed that…

We Keep Renaming AI Coding. Here’s What I’d Call It.
We Keep Renaming AI Coding. Here’s What I’d Call It.
Boris Cherny, who runs Claude Code, told Business Insider in May that the phrase “vibe coding” had started to annoy him, and that he’d gone looking for a better one. He’s not the only one who’s annoyed. The term itself doesn’t actually annoy me, though. I think vibe coding is a really good name: It […]

condense-json 1.1
condense-json 1.1
Release: condense-json 1.1 After shipping condense-json 1.0 I started integrating it into LLM, and found there were some desirable new features already: Replacements object can now include values other than strings. These will be identified and used as structural replacements by condense_json() and uncondense_json(). #8 Objects can be used as the basis for merge operations. condense_json() will identify if there are objects that are a close match and will store instructions for keys to update…

condense-json 1.0
condense-json 1.0
Release: condense-json 1.0 I'm trying to get braver at releasing 1.0 versions. This little library is a year and a half old now - I've applied some sensible and non-disruptive fixes and shipped the big 1.0 for it. Here's an example of what it can do, lifted from the README: { "foo": { "bar": { "string": "This is a string with foxes in it", "nested": { "more": ["Here is a string", "another with foxes in it too"] } } } } Combine that with a replacements object: {"1": "with foxes in it"} And…

Open letters about AI development
Open letters about AI development
Open letters about AI development I wrote this summary of the past few weeks of open letters as a section of my sponsors-only newsletter but I've decided to share it here as well. Open Weights and American AI Leadership was shepherded by Microsoft, dated July 24th, and signed by 235 AI-adjacent companies including NVIDIA, Amazon, Y Combinator, The Linux Foundation and (a later signer) OpenAI. It's clearly an argument designed to counter any instincts by the current US government to ban or limit…

Quoting Greg Brockman
Quoting Greg Brockman
at openai, many people hook their chatgpt up to slack. people really don't like when a coworker's chatgpt contacts them asking for help with a task, even when they'd be perfectly happy doing that same work if asked by that coworker. reinforces how much people care about human relationships and helping each other, and want AI to give time back — or enhance time together — rather than become a layer separating people. — Greg Brockman, President and Co-Founder, OpenAI Tags: ai-ethics,…

datasette-apps 0.2a0
Release: datasette-apps 0.2a0 Changes that improve Datasette Apps when created and edited using Datasette Agent: New app_debug() tool allowing agent to open an app (invisibly) and test it using JavaScript. #33 New app_list() tool for listing apps the user has permission to edit, so the agent can edit them. #36 The app_debug() tool is pretty neat: it works by displaying the app in a opacity: 0 iframe with pointer-events: none (so it can't be seen or interacted with) and then executing…

Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science
Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science
Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science A few days ago it was Anthropic discovering cryptographic weaknesses with Claude using Mythos Preview, spending $100,000 on tokens and with prompts that included "again we are not looking for low hanging fruit, we want proper research to find genuinly hard findings." Now it's OpenAI's turn to flex. They set "an internal version of Astra, our next major model" on finding solutions to ten mathematical problems that "have seen no…
