This project is very cool! One readme nit: "Pack a stateful virtual machine into a single file (.smolmachine) to rehydrate on any supported platform." For awhile I thought this meant that you could rehydrate a machine's memory like you can with a firecracker vm, but as far as I can tell you can't? It's stateful == disk?
It’s impossible to disengage the deployment of technology with the way the technology was deployed. I’m not saying anything that I’m not saying. I believe that there could have been a world where deploying technology in all these classrooms had a positive effect
The increased review burden is also happening inside companies. It’s genuinely hard to keep up with the volume. I was a little surprised to see my comment downvoted. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be able to delete slop PRs. Of course we should! I’m saying that the pr should change at least _somewhat_ in response to how much programming is changing.
Also worth stating that I have been ranting about contract first reviews for 10 years and it’s not just in response to llm written code.
They need to talk about how the pr itself should change. The text diff just is not the right thing to center. We should be using ai to chunk changes into reviewable bytes and to align on semantics and contracts.
Not the same but this gives me an idea… what if there was a map reduce for doms as a web primitive. Like imagine if I could make a dom (or feed) that was some selection and transformation of another dom
long pauses can be rhetorically powerful. i think showing people you’re thinking-and telling them—is also great. you can always say “i need time to process what you said” and write it down
