I listened to TMBG early on in my music life and eventually came to "not particularly enjoy" them. Talking Heads, on the other hand, have only gotten better and better in my opinion.

I mean COME ON https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xphLY5ucIpQ


Same. The other good track on that album is Slippery People https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx2_iHftARo

llm garbage

agreed, the author should be upfront that it was written by an LLM

The llm detector in my brain went off too

Every paragraph in the article is exactly what LLM produces

I own a copy, never fails to weird people out when they flip through. Highly recommend.

I was just looking for a linear CLI earlier today. Awesome that the CLI converter uses that as an example. Nice!


you may enjoy reading Nick Land, he has written about very similar ideas, specifically the idea that corporations and even "capital" can be considered AI in many ways.


The flow of ideas goes both ways between AI and economy. Notably, the economist Friedrich Hayek [1] was a source of inspiration in the development of AI.

He wrote in 1945 on the idea that the price mechanism serves to share and synchronise local and personal knowledge [2]. In 1952, he described the brain as a self-ordering classification system based on a network of connections [3]. This last work was cited as a source of inspiration by Frank Rosenblatt in his 1958 paper on the perceptron [4], one of the pioneering studies in machine learning.

For those who are interested, I'm researching Land's main thesis that capitalism is AI: https://retrochronic.com


Wasn't this already discovered by Bayes ?

Also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds


I second this


Ballard covered this theme a few different times in his short stories, I believe before this


Yes in 'Studio 5, The Stars' they use a "VT set" to generate poems I really enjoyed reading Vermilion Sands


Its a shame Pierre shut down. Wish they could have made it work. Github but made by Linear would be a dream.


Linear will have something for you soon – https://linear.app/reviews


Pierre didn't shutdown, they said they just paused signups on the code review app to focus on the code storage service.

Productizing the building blocks of the platform seems like the smart play in today's environment honestly.


Sure but I dont want to build my own Github I just want to use a beautiful and faster alternative


We’re shooting for this with Tangled (https://tangled.org). :)


It literally is just a big minimalist computer screen. I drive a taycan and it would be significantly better if they were to remove the massive touchpad and replace it with a cluster of physical controls.


Agreed with absolutely all of this. Really well written. Right now at work we're getting along fine with Actions + WarpBuild but if/when things start getting annoying I'm going to switch us over to Buildkite, which I've used before and greatly enjoyed.


Opus 4.5 is pretty good about following instructions to not do anything destructive, but Gemini 3 Flash actively disregards my advice and just starts running commands. Definitely recommend setting up default-readonly access for stuff like this and requiring some kind of out-of-band escalation process for when you need to do writes/destroys.
