The new Github Stacked PRs preview is incredible. Landing 5 stacked PRs directly to a merge queue all at once! A+++! This removes so much friction (and the gh cli tools + agent skill help a ton)
The the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

Writing is itself an act of thinking, so automating the writing removes the thinking, not just the labor.Their words
The act of writing is an act of thinking, and to automate our paragraphs is to populate our screens with words without filling our minds with the ideas necessary to conceive of them.

GitHub's workflow, review process and merge queue are built for a pre-agent era and don't fit how agents work.Their words
Anyone using GitHub knows that it isn't cut out for agents. The workflow, the review process, the merge queue and many things are made for the previous era.

It's a cold mode. Most readers recoil at it. Characters are our windows into a story, and third-person objective narrators are opaque windows.

And it's the first time I learned the difference between activities and impact. activity is you being an all-star answering a bunch of calls, but the ticket queue for the team is still high.

there is no principal-agent problem, because the human driving the machine takes on the responsibility for its actions by owning the deployment.

The dynamic type system provides flexibility and easy meta-programming, while the static type system removes the overhead in most of your code.

And the more you build, right? The more you put things out there, you remove the need for imagination. You can say, "Okay, now I like that website. Do that for me."

But okay, they shouldn't actually be enacting these ideas. There is a queue of ideas and there's maybe an automated scientist that comes up with ideas based on all the archive papers and GitHub repos and it funnels ideas in or researchers can contribute ideas, but it's a single queue and there is workers that pull items and they try them out.

So this is a filter. Like if I'm talking to you, it takes effort to put it down on the page. I don't record anything that I've filtered it. It's interesting enough to me that it belongs on the page.

economists have this fantasy of the world of companies in direct competition driving down price and increasing efficiency while supplying the same thing which is based on a false premise that people know what they want to begin with. Now I would argue when you don't create differentiation, everybody suffers.

Better AI makes robots cheaper, because cheap visual feedback removes the need for expensive mechanical precision.Their words
So traditional robots and factories uh they need to make motions that are highly repeatable and therefore it requires a degree of precision and robustness that you don't need if you can use cheap visual feedback. So AI also makes robots more affordable uh and lowers the requirements on the hardware.

But once you actually have a sophisticated industrial economy, central planning can't handle the complexity. And so you try and create incentives and structures around that while not having pricing and that just doesn't work.

Next to proper ownership of your own work, my favorite thing about POSSE is that it massively expands what you can publish, far beyond the limitations imposed by most social media (and especially microblogging) platforms that try to enforce some uniformity in post style, length, and appearance.

I had taken my kids to see DuVernay's superlative Selma years prior, and I had heard about 13th (and I had recalled my wife saying she wanted to watch it), but it was – like many things – "in the queue."

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
