i love writing. i never let agents write for me. whether it's docs, or tweets, or shitposts, or even prompts (okay maybe that one's harder as agents manage other agents) there's a simple reason for that: i still strongly believe that writing is thinking. it's a skill i hope to never give up. it's also important to me that whatever i say is always authentic, mistakes and all. my favorite posts are the ones that i just full send without any editing i suspect it also helps with prompting. being able to clearly express what i want, and knowing the vocabulary i need to be able to direct my agents does seem to make for more effective usage of agents. in the same way that engineers have an advantage when we prompt agents to write code, because we are intimately familiar with the words that make up the discipline knowing the right word incantations to get an agent to produce a desired goal almost feels like spellcasting. as models get more capable, and that input box looks more and more like a magic box that can output anything, words become the interface between you and the genie there may come a time when we give up the keyboard in exchange for brain-computer interfaces. but until then, i'm writing every word.

I’m a competent adult. Why do I need an “AI agent” to check into a flight for me? I’m literate. Why do I need an “AI agent” to read and write emails for me? Also, I don’t get so many emails that I can’t answer them myself. The reason “no one uses AI” is that there’s no serious utility here for the vast majority of people.
This is my thesis: no one uses AI. I repeat, absolutely no one. We live in a bubble. Even among my friends who pay for it, when I ask them to open ChatGPT and show me their queries, it’s the same handful of basic things. Most don’t even know they can upload a photo and ask questions about it. Connecting Gmail so an agent can read and send emails blows their minds. An agent opening a browser and checking them into a flight? They’ve never even heard of it. The massive challenge right now is adoption, and then getting people who already signed up to actually use what they’re paying for. Most have absolutely zero clue what’s possible. Imagine the compute shortage when everyone starts using AI like the top 1% of users do today.

I can think of two other The Legend of Zelda games that should be playable on #NintendoSwitch2 😏
From the earliest adventures to the latest quests, all these The Legend of Zelda games will be playable on #NintendoSwitch2!

because I am fascinated with shoving modern things into retro hardware, here’s fx from @vercel_dev running natively on my PowerPC iMac G4 running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. Excited to see how well it works for developing retro apps!

god I see what you’ve done for others
Found these in the dumpster at the local tesla service center.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The author clarified that the USB drives came from wrecked Teslas purchased at auctions, not a Tesla service center dumpster. x.com/tutrifour/stat…

This is easily one of the top requested features for Clerk Billing, so I’m excited people can finally get their hands on it! Seat-based billing is a natural fit for our B2B Authentication product. Hit me up if you have questions or feedback!
Seat-based pricing, now built into Clerk Billing. Create organization plans with per-seat pricing, so customers can add seats as their teams grow and your pricing scales with them.

I’m not saying this is because I wrote a script on Sunday that used the Microsoft Graph API to report over 4,500 emails as spam. I’m just saying the timing is interesting.
Microsoft/Outlook is currently hard blocking a lot of email platforms and not replying to tickets. We had a few IPs hit, got them recovered via ticket, but other platforms aren’t getting any help. Mess.

Does anyone have a good skill for writing tasteful docs that are a joy to read?

When I first met the twins I was convinced Alisaie was going to be an antagonist. I think losing Alphinaud (either to death or separation) and having Alisaie try to rip apart the realms to get him back could be a really compelling storyline!
I feel like we go through the "A scion should die" argument frequently and my take is killing a character should not just be done just to get an emotional reaction or because you dont know what to do with them currently I think what they did in the 7.X patches was ideal

I really wish Cursor would just open source their tab completion model so they can focus on their agentic UI and us hand-coders can move on to something else.

The Pitt, Season 4 1: Storm causes serious rain and flooding. Night shift stays to wait for the rain to let up. 5, ending: Power goes out. 6: Generators start 10 seconds later. 9: Flooding causes generator failure. They have to save as many lives as they can with no power.

Taking this a step further, I think it should be straight up illegal for a computer to synthesize speech that is not clearly distinguishable from human speech. Robots should always sound like robots. Failure of imagination that we haven’t even tried to make cool robotic voices.
It's so insanely disrespectful for an AI agent to talk to real people without consent or at least disclosure. This is the type of stuff I'm hugely supportive of government regulation. The FCC must expand the definition of robocalling and TCPA-style regulation to online AI.

Core 3 includes a ton of changes, but my favorite is the completely-new useSignIn() and useSignUp() hooks that make it easier than ever to have pixel-perfect control over your authentication UI. Give it a shot and let me know what you think!
Core 3 is here, our latest major SDK release. • Agent-friendly customization APIs • Theme editor and interactive docs • Agent-optimized onboarding for more frameworks • Modern React support • Performance improvements Upgrade today: 𝚗𝚙𝚡 @𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚛𝚔/𝚞𝚙𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚍𝚎

that is until a certain rodent themed ai tool comes along and tells you on every pull request that the new api you’re using doesn’t exist 🙃
The cost of modernizing software has become so low that there is no excuse not to keep the code up to date with latest language / framework features.

couldn't get this dumb idea out of my head, so now it exists! I ported nanocode by @rahulgs to Go and Windows Console Host. Runs great on 8.1 with go1.20, but I'm going to try and see how far back it'll work (likely limited by TLS implementations in older versions of Go).

I have too many side projects, so here’s one I wish existed but I just don’t have the time: claudex, a CLI agent that coordinates both claude and codex on a shared task. One drives, they communicate back and forth, and collaborate towards a shared goal.
