A lot of people at the top of these orgs are extremely fucked up individuals. It’s a dog-eat-dog industry.
In HFT, there is massive upside.
With all these zero days coming in thick and fast, I suspect we're going to deeply regret this gimmick where modern devices have to always be "smart" and IoT by default.
I mostly hear older folk use that word as a slur. I think most younger people don't know the history of that word and mean it in a neutral way. I often hear it used to talk about media like "Jap music", etc.
I’ll write more when I’ve got more experience with pstack, but I like it so far. I’ve been using it via the Claude Code connector.
One of the things that I like is that some of the skills encourage redundancy (design bake-off, interrogate, etc). You burn a lot of tokens this way but the results are less likely to have critical oversights that are typical with agents. Human review is expensive so I’m more than happy to burn significantly more tokens to get a better designed patch.
I’ll have to give this a try myself. In the past, I’ve been skeptical of some of these ultra-aggressive agentic approaches to development because the resulting software is always poor quality (I don’t care about merging millions of LoC if it’s all crap). But by all accounts, Grok Bot is a well designed piece of software. The author of pstack also has some serious technical chops which makes me feel that this is worth understanding.
Yeah depends on the accent for sure. A lot of NZ accents are indistinguishable to most Australians I know, but some really do sound like they’re talking about dicks imo.
