hutch: local code reviews in emacs for the mildly disenfranchised
I haven't had a real job in four years. I closed down a startup I'd been building, just last month. During all these years, I spent most of that time at the back end of the frontier of AI agents. B…

the hilariously ironic thing about Ather crowdsourcing bumpy roads and potholes throughout the city is that in Bangalore, you now get alerted literally every minute to the point that it's completely useless to have that turned on

decided to emit perfetto traces for instrumenting an agent, and it works... surprisingly ok. dump reasoning tokens, prompts, counters into args and run queries directly on ui.perfetto.dev, no Langfuse et al to setup
perfetto trace for a single-shot agentperfetto sql to fetch total token counts across turns

And it says *100% AI written* with "high confidence." It is 100% wrong. I say... AI detector tools are about as reliable as AI writing tools.

I wish Flighty offered discounts to ADS-B receiver operators listed on FlightAware's stats DB (flightaware.com/adsb/stats) since that's where they get a part of their data from

a lot of my feed in various places lately is people pretending to know how LLMs and agents are not going to actually replace certain parts of my software engineering job and taste (and related subjective functions) is the real moat or how I'm not using the full power of these tools yet

I started watching The Leftovers during COVID, and I was so pulled in by it that I decided to NOT watch the last 3 eps indefinitely, so that I can come back to it 10-20y later and hopefully feel like that again (5y and counting).

I wonder if we can do llm swe benchmarks that specifically decontaminate certain "ergonomically human" ideas from training, like tasteful, dev-ex oriented libraries or frameworks (say rails) and see if we can progressively prompt (+elicit) our way to something that everyone "enjoys" using

i have seen like 4 full-length sam altman interviews in the past months (including the nikhil kamath one) and there's something very weirdly unsophisticated about his pitch about AI every time it always slants towards something like start a company and write code or plan itineraries and do science

there was a time in the last couple of years when starting up where I was like linkedin is just a subtle perspective shift, there is obviously grift, but people are trying to make things happen in a direction they want to pursue and this is generally a good thing, but now I'm like this is all grift

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning
Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

y'all remember the time in television when showrunners would push the season climax at episode n-1 or n-2 and the remainder of episodes are just peaceful meanderings on the remnants of the consequences anyway that's what Fridays are like for me
