All this is also a great argument for just not making browsers capable of conveying this kind of information in the first place…

Some might argue that it allows for better web apps, but the delta between how much better in can make web apps and how much poorer it can make the overall web experience is too great to be worth it, and that's before one gets into the privacy implications of browsers being so eager to share all these little nuggets of info.

> use firefox, install uBlock Origin

This is the only correct answer. The second firefox is actually no longer viable, I guarantee you chrome is going to rapidly go closed source or require software attestation to prevent modification (not sure what the analogous plan for Safari will be, but it won’t be good).

The passkey stuff is a step in this direction.

Passkeys work with Firefox.

So does DRM. In the long run, web sites will end up requiring measured boot to use passkeys, and also require passkeys. This is already common practice with android (to prevent third party ROMs from working).

Seems like something a plugin could solve.

Not sure it can with the v3 changes.

Wow, I wonder what I would say if I had no choice but to accept dying

Maybe just one word F

Makes me think of that infinite improbability drive scene 2005, these people reach the end of their maze, life path

> you never gonna even be good at flipping burgers

i promise you this is not true

understand the chemistry of fats an denaturing of proteins, understand myoglobin; it is not much different than understanding anything.

nothing stops you from trying to make the best burgers in the world

be curious, ignorant and kind

I know because I just got laid off from McDonald's. It's very hard: stress, speed, precision, noise.

You are competing with people 20 years younger. It's like watching professional athletes vs school soccer

sorry man i cant even imagine what you are going through i didnt mean to be condescending or anything, i just truly believe that people are amazing

to be amazing however requires food and roof and a bit of luck

i honestly dont know what i would do without a job, its hard to break into trades i hear, and also seems to be hard in mcdonalds

i will probably start a tool and die shop or something, or a burger joint, smash burgers only (those the only ones i love to make)

You must have a lot of capital already if those are realistic options for you.

You are talking about being a professional chef, not a fast food employee.

haha

github for agent code is dropbox final_final2.zip

honestly i am amazed that it can do that, but I wish they use it to rewrite the claude code cli.

i had to killall -9 claude 3 times yesterday

They are already writing Claude with Claude - I think they said 90% of their code is written with Claude.

yes, they must be killing it hundreds of times per day, maybe its time for 'please rewrite opencode, but dont touch anything, you can only use `cp`' kind of prompt

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlN9jdQFSc

Awesome song. Gives me chills. Wish I believed in a just God like that.

you are made either of reason or of faith, but the choice what you are made of you can not make nor with reason nor with faith

reason can not choose reason, and faith can not choose faith

First slowly then all at once. [1]

That looks demonstrative! For those that don't want to click, from Aug to Feb S&P is up 10%. "Software - Applications" is down 21%.

But in this context, is Uber[9% weight, down ~4% YTD] a transportation company that roles it's own software for competitive advantage? I think other's in the composition are similar. The takeaway is maybe that the tech landscape is changing or LLMs have spooked investors and they're running without direction. But that doesn't necessarily speak to bespoke software uptake (already) cutting into profits(?) Uber would be fine in that case?

a program is function of the programmer, how you code is how you think. that is why it is really difficult, even after 60 years, for multiple people to work on the same codebase, over the years we have made all kinds of rules and processess so that code written by one person can be understood and changed by another.

you can also read human code and empathise what were they thinking while writing it

AI code is not for humans, it is just a stream of tokens that do something, you need to build skills to empirically verify that it does what you think it does, but it is pointless to "reason" about it.

:) I actually printed a lot so the price is cheap, and I could sell for 5$ then I sold them until I recoup the printing cost and donated the rest to schools.

I am thinking of doing a reprint, but tbh shipping is so expensive now, and I there is also USA's tariffs and etc.

I would pay triple to not have to worry about how to print and box these all neatly as you did. Please take my money for this and all your other games.

> But I am having a hard time imagining it's the best way to learn to pipe together commands.

To be honest, it is very strange how hard it is to teach programming concepts, for some reason almost all humans use computers but only 0.1% or so can program them.

I am not sure we have the 'best way' to teach anything computer related.

People develop world model for physics quite early, they know they can pull with a rope but cant push with a rope.

And they get intuition, things that are thrown up, go down, and they can transfer this intuition in the math, because math is real.

For some reason its hard to do that with code. People keep trying to push with a rope, even after studying for many years.

PS: I am trying to teach her neural networks now and am working on this RNN board game https://punkx.org/projekt0/book/part2/rnn.html to fight the "square" dragon. I want her to develop good world model for neural networks, so that she understands what chatgpt is. I just keep experimenting, sometimes things click, sometimes not.

> almost all humans use computers but only 0.1% or so can program them.

This is nitpicking but I was curious: there are 4.4 million software developers in the US (https://www.griddynamics.com/blog/number-software-developers...). The population is 340 million, 0.1% would be 340,000. You’re off by over one order of magnitude.

there are 45 million devs in the world (out of which probably 10 can actually program) and 8.5 billion people

we could say 0.5%?

It’s misleading to use the entire world’s population. A very large proportion of that hasn’t ever had the opportunity to learn to write code.

> I am not sure we have the 'best way' to teach anything computer related.

Not saying this is the best way, but have you followed any of Bret Victor's work with dynamicland[1]?

Yea, and I think it is amazing, but in the same time it will work for some and not for others

The same way scratch works for some, redstone for others, and https://strudel.cc/ for third

I think the truth is that we are more different than alike, and computers are quite strange.

I personally was professionally coding, and writing hundreds of lines of code per day for years, and now I look at this code and I can see that I was not just bad, I literally did not know what programming is.

Human code is an expression of the mind that thinks it. Some language allow us to better see into the author's mind, e.g forth and lisp, leak the most, c also leaks quite a lot e.g. reading antirez's code or https://justine.lol/lambda/, or phk or even k&r, go leaks the least I think.

Anyway, my point is, programming is quite personal, and many people have to find their own way.

PS: what I call programming is very distant from "professional software development"

Amazing diagrams!
