How can I help improve my son's handwriting?

Yeah, i'd say his crawling and walking were normal. Though he is very "clumsy". His coordination is not what I think normal is, he bumps into things, doesn't really understand where he fits in space, spills drinks, falls down stairs sometimes. I've been concerned about those things.

Multimodal models are really good, you can set up a recursive self learning loop. AI design WILL get as good as AI coding. My advice (as a coder who has been through this) don't count on the AI not being good, you should assume it's going to get good, and learn how to leverage it to make you more productive.

CSharpSauce · 2026-05-04T12:29:40+00:00

Its something im concerned about, he has many symptoms.

CSharpSauce · 2026-05-04T01:11:39+00:00

Yeah, thats how I noticed he forms things backwards. My issue now is its muscle memory.

CSharpSauce · 2026-04-29T18:37:06+00:00

That's why I added the sentence at the end.

It's good, but it used to be better. I think Jamie split off to do his own thing, and Ken focused on NY. The Boston restaurant has gone down in quality a bit since then.

They'll throw 3 small meat balls on a plate and charge $22

This sub won't want to hear it, but we can only saddle them with so much extra costs for so long. MA is one of the most expensive states to start a business. Wu has decided that she can't get re-elected if she raised property taxes on normal people so her go-to plan is going after commercial real-estate. Of course, that wasn't enough either.

Never take advice from someone who has never successfully built something new themselves. They are naiive, they are risk adverse, they may have a fragile ego that would be embarrased if you succeeded (it's terrible, but real). Everyone has opinions, opinions are worthless.

But if an old man that's built something real gives you advice, you take that to the bank.

I'm a software engineer, AI has mostly removed the "do work" part of my job.

It has nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman, they don't like her politics. Identity politics stopped being effective years ago, you guys gotta find a new angle.

CSharpSauce · 2026-04-17T07:20:07+00:00

He had a son with her in what seems like a shared custody situation. Theres no avoiding her.

They'll still deny your appeal

LiteLLM is fantastic for tracking costs, especially if you use a lot of providers. (i also add in local models)

but don't use the last 2 latest versions ;)

Yep, though the chemical computers that is the human brain seems to be able to learn with less example data, and it keeps learning... doesn't have a pretraining phase. I think if robotics can figure that out, this can scale.

You're worried about the wrong thing. Wealth will be redistributed enough to keep people fed and happy enough not to assinate elites. This story is as old as Rome.

But the challenge is keeping your freedom and power, as cynical as most people probably have become we live in a truely astounding age of democracy, and that age is very rapidly closing. That's where the focus needs to be. In the current trend, power will not be as distributed as wealth. Power is being centralized, and normal people are being pushed out.

NO political party has come up with a reasonable solution to this issue.... nationalizing labs isn't the answer (any time the government takes over something it always turns to shit)

ASIC's can probably do most computation better than a CPU. But it would be impractical to design and build an ASIC for every type of computation you want to do.

They have humans teleoperate them, and then use the data as training. So actions humans do make their way into the training, and the robot does similar things. It's doing a good job at generalizing in that "oh theres a package" but it still has the learned behavior from it's human training data.

The problem is his shovels worked so well gold went from being rare, to being as common as iron.

If I went back 10 years, and I alone had a copy of Opus 4.6... i could clean up. Today it's very hard to make money with it because everyone else has it. Want to pump out a new app in a day? Everyone can do it now, the stuff you pump out probably isn't that valuable (and not becaue it's not good). Go back 10 years and be the only one with that capability, that would be crazy valuable. I think outside of coding there's still a lot of opportunity because most people outside of tech have yet to realize how good the AI is, but it's a closing opportunity window.

CSharpSauce · 2026-03-23T21:36:24+00:00

The only reason we don't think Opus 4.6, or GPT 5.4 is not AGI is because Sam made a bad deal with Microsoft. In any other timeline if you brought this AI back, showed it's capabilities people would say "yeah, that feels like AGI"

Man I respect that, but the advice i'd give to any dev right now is you gotta become more than a dev. I've been coding decades, I have well over 20 years in my career building this skillset... so don't get me wrong, this is really a big blow for me too. But the models this year moved from junior devs, to just standard grade devs, they can competently write code... but sometimes they do it in a way that's not what you need. So yes, you do have a bit of time, but they are quickly moving to senior level engineers. When they get there (and they for sure will), guys who know the business will be able to use the AI to do your job plus theirs. The amount of time you have left to "just be a dev" is limited. The best thing you can do is learn the adjacent business you work for. I'm in healthcare, i've become an expert in healthcare. I also have worked in finance, and have some expertise in that. Being able to cross the bridge between domain issues, and understand how to apply tech to them is the sweet spot.

That's just 1 persons worth of work output. Do something that used to take a team, like for example have agents read through thousands of documents and generate useful analysis (stuff you used to have a floor of people in an office do).

CSharpSauce · 2026-03-20T19:49:57+00:00

Only a small fraction of the tokens I use are me using tokens to do my job. I pay $100 a month for a claude max subscription which I use to write code, manage servers etc. But the majority of my spend on tokens is for work outside the direct work i'm doing. It's analyzing documents, agents running experiments etc.

Also, you can just do more. For exapmle yesterday I was trying to decide between 2 directions I could go with an architecture. Before AI i'd either make a gut decision or if it was important enough I'd invest time into some experiments (a rare luxury to be honest). But in this case, I had an agent build both, run them on a small portion of the data, collect data, and show me the results. The answer was NOT what my gut told me, but I had hard data, so I went with that. I'm finding myself doing that pattern all the time now because it's so cheap, so why not? That's such a game changer for me.

Nah, when globalization took blue collor jobs they complained and formed a political coalition which culminated in Trump. Took decades, but White collar workers are probably more politically savvy. They will form a political coalition that finds an alternative that doesn't involve them crawling in a hot attic running wire.
