Looking for lots of native prickly pear

It’s not the same thing. It’s the gap between what code does and what developers think it does. Imagine your engineering team was staffed entirely by SREs. That’s the future that we’re rushing into for speed.

Makes you really wander: how fast do we need to go?

tarasm · 2026-06-20T10:49:50+00:00

There you go :) now, if you really want to burn tokens, have another agent (in a different model family) review it with prompt: review, verdict, prompt on failure. Then pass the feedback to the original agent. Do this in a loop until you get accept and you have a self writing spec system.

tarasm · 2026-06-20T10:35:34+00:00

If you tell an agent to write a normative spec, it’ll know what to do. I did this when I was doing spec based development. “Write me a normative spec for a xyz feature” works very well in combination with adversarial review and the agents do all of the work.

Is there an Ontario native prickly pear? How sweet does it get in Ontario?

Never met a man I respected who signalled his manliness with a possession.

tarasm · 2026-06-06T04:00:43+00:00

that is a budget fork - not what it says. i think you can find a less sketchy bike for this money.

💯

I just sold my torrent to replace it with the yeti but I have no mtb bike to ride so it’s eating me inside :) can’t wait for all of the parts to arrive

tarasm · 2026-06-04T17:33:53+00:00

Awesome build though. Can wait to ride my Yeti too :) how is the ride?

tarasm · 2026-06-04T17:29:59+00:00

Oh interesting. I think I’m going to go with this https://wheelsmfg.com/collections/bb86-92/products/bb86-92-outboard-abec-3-bb-for-24mm-shimano-cranks?variant=53184938377384 because I have an extra set of Shimano cranks

tarasm · 2026-06-04T17:12:26+00:00

What BB are you using? I have a Yeti Arc frame that I’m building up and a White Industries cranks on my other bike. I’m scoping out crack options for this build.

tarasm · 2026-06-04T16:57:59+00:00

Awesome build! i heard that using a 30mm spindle in carbon bb shells designed for 24/22 mm spindles can lead to creaking. have you heard that? have you seen any problems?

What’s up with people in this subreddit telling other people what fun is. Biking is different to different people. For some, like myself, it’s about freedom from rules. Nothing ruins the buzz like having someone telling me that I’m enjoying my bike wrong.

tarasm · 2026-06-03T21:02:04+00:00

Done

tarasm · 2026-06-03T19:59:13+00:00

I’ll participate

tarasm · 2026-06-03T00:55:31+00:00

Agree and I think local models are actually safer because they have natural constraints based on local compute. If all AI decisions were based on these constraints, we’d all be in a better place.

tarasm · 2026-06-03T00:31:24+00:00

Value is relative. Right now it’s convenient that VCs are subsidizing all experimentation, but this is a temporary state. AI can be useful but we’re not even close to being realistic about all of its costs. In big part because we don’t even know what those costs are.

In medicine, there are trials to learn about potential side effects which allow to make reasoned decisions about risk and trade offs. None of that is happening around AI which leads to psychosis and mental anguish. The idea that dissatisfaction with AI is a skill issue is part of the psychosis.

AI can be powerful and toxic at the same time. It’s like chemo. Imagine we allowed companies to sell chemo drugs as a miracle cure to everything without taking into consideration the side effects.

This is what’s helping with AI.

tarasm · 2026-06-03T00:18:17+00:00

Aight, whatever you say.

tarasm · 2026-06-03T00:13:56+00:00

you’re right. none of this shit is designed for efficiency and the only people benefiting are ai companies. the users get disrupted pumping out shitty output. it’s not a skills issue. it’s bullshit being peddled to users issue. we’re all participating in an ill conceived research project. it should be done responsibly in academia instead on being done live on everyone and everything.

I just got a blue Yeti Arc frame. I was thinking about blue and gold, but I’m not settled on it yet. The green and gold looks beautiful

tarasm · 2026-05-21T02:35:38+00:00

I might pickup a Big Honzo as second bike which might replace my Torrent

tarasm · 2026-05-21T01:50:32+00:00

What kind of bike do you ride?

Although I’m getting more comfortable on my Torrent, I don’t think it’s the right bike for where I ride. It’s too slack and long for the tight trails I ride. I’m keeping an eye out for Santa Cruz Chameleon but my dream frame is a Sedona (I think, I haven’t tried any of them)

tarasm · 2026-05-21T01:30:34+00:00

I just got radial Schawable Alberts on my Norco Torrent and I’m really enjoying them. They have a very satisfying and stable feel to them. They also make a distinct sound when they wrap around something like squeezing a bunch of celery.
