"Except if you quit or go on vacation, who will maintain this custom pile of shell scripts?" LLMs can reason about and fix them quite well.

Not as well as they can reason (or others can google) something as standardized as kubernetes. There’s just less context (in both senses of the term) needed to understand something running on a common substrate versus something bespoke, even if the bespoke thing is itself comprised of standardized parts.

For a project set up by a qualified engineer, there would be little difference to the end user in practice. The LLM would work out a solution with a negligible difference in speed. Maybe debugging would also be faster for the LLM without the abstraction layers and low level access?

Crazy how impatient people are while millions of people suffer, thousands die, and prices go up around the planet.


So if I try to do it with Opus three or four times, I'll get it done? And probably in about 10 minutes? Awesome


Nope, these are no random dice rolls. Some times are solved each run, a few - occasionally (so here would be meaningful to try a few times - and metrics of pass@1 and pass@3 would be different), but most are never solved.

See e.g.: https://quesma.com/benchmarks/otel/models/claude-opus-4.5/


That’s only if the failures are truly random and aren’t correlated



The platform is being actively used to plan attacks on our government... at a certain point this becomes a liability to any party that enabled it. As it should.


How do you think censorship were started in other coutries? To prevent attacks on the goverment.


Would't you want to read the plans in an open platform where anybody on Parler can have access to it?

Now these plans will go underground and will be harder to track.


Though its more of a building block, Editor.js supports this: https://editorjs.io


Ignoring the the moral bankruptcy of the argument to begin with, he's someone who most people would consider a societal "loss" despite his views around alternative medicine.


I think the major difference is that he didn't push his views about alternative medicine on others, at least as far as I'm aware.

We would have felt differently about him if he had published a book titled "iCancer: How I Beat The Disease Using Alternative Medicine".


Most of the other people weeded out of the gene pool by following quack medicine advice aren't pushing their views on others either.

(FWIW if Jobs had devoted an inordinate amount of time to encouraging his audience to follow quack cancer cures it would be a stain on his reputation but wouldn't diminish the value of his separate contributions to UX or consumer electronics)


It seems from the comments that this article rubs people the wrong way. This article might be getting grouped into a speech police category that is undeserved.

I think the intention of "in my culture" is to allay a fear in the listener. The speaker is worried that there is a strong expectation of change in the listener by stating something as an axiom. The speaker's hope is that the listener will see a possibility instead of a demand.

Some people think it should be obvious that what a person states should never be seen as a demand to conform. Some believe this is a necessary life skill, especially in business.

Some people are interested in finding ways of speaking in a more sensitive way in an era that seems to be embracing sensitivity.

Its interesting to me that both sides can see each other's ways of communicating as an affront, when it is likely not the intent on either side.


If you can build a web site with React + Firebase + Google Cloud Function + CDN, you are a full-stack engineer.


Not even close.


After using Redux for a while, I realized that I was creating a lot of boilerplate to essentially (1) update an immutable store and (2) pass that store's state to (a)sync callbacks that execute in serial before and after the store was updated.

This lead me to the creation of DotStore (https://github.com/invrs/dot-store#readme), along with extensions to use it with React [1] and the filesystem [2].

"Dot prop" strings have proved to be an elegant solution to detect which props changed on the store. Usually this means doing a regex match in `shouldComponentUpdate`. We almost never use React's state anymore.

None of your links seem to work. Is this a private repository?


Heh, very new project, thanks for the heads up. Its public now.
