It's tricky because dissenting doesn't necessarily mean you'd reach the opposite conclusion in every respect.

In this case, I really doubt even the most conservative justices believe "birthright citizenship means whatever an Executive Order says it does." At a minimum, we know they aren't signing on to the reasoning the 5 in the majority used. And then we can learn whatever they feel like saying in the dissent, but a dissent is just an essay with no force of law.

It’s 2026 and my computer will happily give me the right answer even when i make typos. I love it.

businesses absolutely love not paying for things. each other, contractors, etc.

employees don’t realize how good they have it with payroll protections tbh. That’s how it should be of course!

Yep! It’s all just text files. Lots of acronyms in top of lots of ways to generate, send, and read structured text files.

One day I realized even databases were just text files and I had to sit down.

Sadly no. And I might lose my bet it'd be back by Tuesday... alas...

I give it until Tuesday at the latest until it's accessible again.

I've seen it turn right in business contexts. Sometimes you can even lower your standard of "good enough" and find quantity has a quality all its own.

But it requires taste and engineering to do it right, and on the right things. It'll be an interesting few years.

That's more or less what Claude Cowork is.

Every serious engineer I've seen try to use it ran away screaming, because of limitations in the sandbox.

I've also seen people set their coding agents up entirely within containers -- that may be the better way going forward, but it's an extra stop and a lot of extra plumbing to maintain.

> Just getting the code to run on your laptop took a week.

This one surprised me. Claude Code in the CLI has made standing up an app and debugging whatever random dependencies or docker BS a dream compared to the before times, when you'd have to learn the architecture while simultaneously troubleshooting whatever isn't working on your machine

I think the hard part is acquiring the GPUs, first at all, then at any reasonable price.

Some business users spent ~30 minutes on an internal process, and we prototyped an "Agent" in Slack to take over. At first it didn't work, then it didn't work some more, eventually it ALMOST worked. Then one day, it worked, and the old business process died never to be revived.

Now it sits in a slack channel, and I watch it doing work, responding to ambiguity, and taking feedback/edits all day. It's unreal. It's literal magic. It saves a HUGE amount of time and gave us a pattern to do more.

This is the real deal. It's not easy to find problems with the right shape, and it's not easy to build agents that fit even when you do... but once it clicks, it clicks.

my favorite quote in this space has always been:

the prophecies of what the courts will do in fact, and nothing more profound, are what i mean by the law.

Held my breath the whole time after all the heat shield warnings. Very glad it all worked, or that there was enough margin!

A lot of people feel this way.

But IMO the most fruitful thing for an engineering org to do RIGHT NOW is learn the tools well enough to see where they can be best applied.

Claude Code and its ilk can turn "maybe one day" internal projects into live features after a single hour of work. You really, honestly, and truly are missing out if you're not looking for valuable things like that!

Could this be an experiment to show how likely LLMs are to lead to AGI, or at least intelligence well beyond our current level?

If you could only give it texts and info and concepts up to Year X, well before Discovery Y, could we then see if it could prompt its way to that discovery?

Of course it's not. Where there are gradients, there are different charges.

Murder I, Murder II, (voluntary/involuntary) Manslaughter, etc.

To the extent grey areas exist, they are accounted for in a gradient of crimes, each of which has a binary degree of guilt.

Sums it up really well. I just like it here.

> Good code is code that can be understood by a junior engineer. Great code can be understood by a first year CS freshman. The best code is no code at all.

This a thousand times. Having empathy for future devs, maintenance, and bug fixes is so important.
