- Harness : oh-my-pie
- Models : OpenAI $20 sub (mostly using Sol/Luna) + Deepseek + JEV
- Skills : Mostly Osmani's agent skills, ub-mode, agency skills for personas + custom stuff
I'm kinda reworking everything as the moment, I'm having issues with other people's workflows (whether it is Pokock, Osmani or Uncle Bob) even though there are bit I like and I'm still looking at how to balance quotas, thinking levels, velocity.
I don't work at Binance, but having been in that exact situation (SRE @ Crypto company with lots of assets, attacked by North Koreans), I'm guessing DevOps guy gave access to some CI/CD, `kubectl exec` what have you which allowed attackers to play with APIs, some settlement mechanic, some smart contract update pipeline. You don't really have to attack wallets if something less secure controls them. This really could stem from nothing, excessive permissions in a GitHub token can go very leveraged properly.
In any case, my point was the early split of Anatolian and "the rest", however you want to call it.
The following ones are ethical and philosophical. My own standing is that :
- Individuals can't be treated as fungible or dispensable, even when thinking in macro states. That opens the door for extreme suffering and simplistic thinking.
- On longer scales, stability wins. Collapse should be treated as a hard failure, not a mechanic.
If the main issue is agent-to-git overhead, until proven otherwise I see it as more of an agentic and/or UI issue than a source-versioning one.
Salaries are calculated differently in France, Germany, US etc. For example working in Germany you're likely to fork a huge amount monthly to your health insurance. It actually makes it difficult to negotiate comp across borders.
$55k USD brut in France is around 2.8k EUR / month after taxes in France, which counts as the upper bracket of Middle Class in most of the country outside of Paris. Paltry when you're used to tech comps but decent for the vast majority of people here.
On the whole I agree that it's not competitive regionally or globally, and as for myself I'd leave for Switzerland or Australia if I had the opportunity.
I'm certain receiving a lump six figure sum on my personal account would trigger a review, if only because the taxman wants to know about it.
Backend-wise, it's just different sets of flags. The infrastructure is the same.
I'm myself bipolar (diagnosed) and very likely autistic (undiagnosed) and having a base understanding on the why and how my brain works has been a significant improvement.
That's how the AI boom came around to start with, before CUDA it was an academic topic.
As long as you're smart on caching on the edges and deduplication/overlaying with your content (which structured data types like models, containers and repos typically are fit for) you can get remarkably far for less than you'd think.
The economics of serving models seem to be way more dodgy.
- Being able to drop in a brand new laptop and have almost all I need out of warp and a barebones ZSH configuration. I used to spend a lot of time on getting ZSH both fast and feature-rich, and it's brittle. Warp by default provides good auto-complete etc.
- Fast rendering and sane graphical defaults. I don't need to do much more than put my font of choice.
- QoL features regarding file rendering etc.
I've never used the agentic parts of it, when I needed CLI my company paid for Claude and I get most of my stuff done with what I get out of my Zed subscription. But I'd be more inclined to do so now.
Agentic AI, broadly speaking. Including CLI agents and IDEs.
Islamic contribution within the context of European history should be both acknowledged and recognized as being autoctonous, but attributing to it things that well attested through other pathways works against it and reinforces myths historians are toiling to get rid of.
The Renaissance as we know it was kickstarted by the conquest of Constantinople in 1204 by the French and Italians, that's well documented and broadly agreed on by historians. All of this happened on the foundations laid down from the 11th c. onwards as the post-Carolingian world was stabilized.
In the late 40s, a lot of them were built from tanks !
At the moment my little brother and my father, who are living in a rural area, have started a collection of vintage tractors by buying everything they can and fixing it up, help that my dad's a mechanic. I'm frankly jealous.
