Thanks! Can you elaborate on what you mean by the lost art of Documentation?

Actually a lot of the enlightenment ideas (which our government is based on) came from native American critiques of European societies. Read The Dawn of Everything for the details.

This is a bold claim that would do better than a throwaway source.

Why limit to a browser? Why not the whole system. Check out this horrible thing I'm building. https://abject.world

What your intro gif describes is "I can ask the chat to build a todo list" (not too novel, and I don't believe it would happen that fast). I feel like what you're actually trying to describe is "I can ask the chat to build a Kanban view of my todo list and the Abject, not the chat, takes over and asks the todo list for its data." You need little popups showing the messages going back and forth. If I've understood your idea at all, which is pretty difficult.

This is actually really innovative! I like it a lot

This is incredible.

This is ridiculous and I’m into it.

If you don't want to hack on it, you can just download the desktop apps for Mac, Linux, or Windows. Note the system is alpha, but I believe usable enough to do some fun stuff!

pnpm awake starts the backend pnpm scry starts the client.

That's really all you need. If you want to run your own signalling server you can use whisper.

I'll update the docs to make it clear, thanks.


Their objectives keep shifting and starship is far behind schedule. Sure, it's a success if you keep objectives small. They could have tried for LEO ages ago but didn't. Each launch should maximize learning and having small objectives is anathema to that. And very wasteful.

If you think Starship is behind, look at the 'competition'.

Learnings per flight may not be maximal, but they are measured with enough risk so that bureaucrats will approve it (not restrict future launches) and other countries won't be impacted by a failure.


What would going into LEO have taught them? They have been there hundreds of times.

They don’t have small connectives, or was catching the Super Heavy booster and then reusing it too small for you? Not everything they are doing is public.


It's almost like if you don't have dependencies and coupling, you really just end up with a toolbox with widgets that don't do anything special when put together.


You can build things with purpose with loose coupling but this requires deliberate organizational design and product architecture decisions...


This article really misses the point of Collaboration. In biology there is the concept of symbiogenesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiogenesis). We are writing and speaking on the web because of collaboration.

The point of collaboration is to put people together that when combined are greater than the sum of their parts. You take person A individually and they may to X, you take person B individually and they may do Y. But individually X and Y might not be that valuable, it's their combination and the glue that combines them that is valuable.

What the article misses is that yes, 20% do 80% of the work. However, you can't predict which 20% will do 80% of the work. Not only that but it's not always the same 20% that do 80% of the work for all tasks and projects.

Collaboration is the 'glue', that little bit of added information, that combines the work of individuals into truly something great.

The challenge is how do you combine the work of individuals and I can tell you what doesn't work, rigidly planning and executing.


You are right. We don't need more EVs. Lets get rid of cars completely and built cheap electrified public transport. Make ICE cars illiegal. Going all EV won't help the environment. Going all public transport would.


Even in places where public transportation is very good, no bus goes everywhere or all the time, and trains are still limited to very specific routes. Need to go to the supermarket to buy food for your whole family? Not very practical on a bus. Live in rough area and come home from work late at night? Perhaps a car is safer. And so on. And this is in a city, it's even worse in rural areas.

Even as someone that loves electric vehicles and uses public transportation a lot, it's hard to get behind these extreme "let's ban X and go all on Y" views. It ignores how things work in the real world.


John Carmack already had his bag and reputation when he did the code dumps.


I think the magic sauce in this project is the fact that they convert diffs in spec to diffs in code, which is likely more stable than just regenerating the whole thing.
