Credit to the early AI coding startups. They masterfully forked Microsoft VS Code and integrated frontier LLMs into a familiar IDE. Instant audience.

But it was only a matter of time before: a) Microsoft reclaimed its IDE b) Frontier model providers reclaimed their models

Sage advice: don’t fill potholes in another company’s roadmap.

Re: a) how can Microsoft "reclaim" their IDE when it was forked from a fork-able open source license?

Re: b) "frontier" models can reclaim all they want; bring it. that's not a moat.

He would want us to be stewards of the music... and people still talking about it in 300 years.

The TODO lists are also frequently re-inserted into the context HEAD to keep the LLM aware of past and next steps.

And in the event of context compression, the TODO serves as a compact representation of the session.

Seems most likely they used an analog trick, like Varispeed, on the final mix (old Beatles trick from the 60s).

Probably. Their final mixing chain is quite interesting too. There's a thread on gearspace that I can't find right now, which details how they record stems into a Roland S760 sampler because it colours the sound in a pleasantly digital way.

Creating Planning Agents seems to force that approach.

Rather than define skills and execution agents, letting a meta-Planning agent determine the best path based on objectives.

It also lacks tool calling :-(

A few board members have Google/Salesforce connections. They partner on a lot of tech and markets.

Every time my wife brings up the skis collecting dust in our garage, I’m reminded of the S.K.I. model — Storage Kills Investment.

At least yours are in the garage. I have a friend who spent years storing a couple of hundred dollars of outdoor gear in a rental storage locker costing $50 per month.

I have relatives that have spent $60/mo for a storage unit for 12 years for some furniture they "might want to use some day if they buy a new house". Even pointing out that the furniture will likely look extremely dated by now and they've spent almost $10k so far doesn't seem to click at all.

I’ve just moved house. I have a few high quality pieces of furniture that I’d like to keep but don’t have space for, so considered storage. They are things that I’ve bought second hand and at auctions, and part of the pleasure is the hunt. So I felt I’d invested both money and time.

But then I realised that I can sell them for pretty much what I paid for them, put that money into a savings account or investments and buy them same things back in a few years. So that’s what I’m doing.

And, of course, I probably won’t buy the same things back in a few years. If I do then I’ll have all the pleasure of the hunt again. Or maybe I buy something else. Or maybe I just have the cash sitting and I can count my gold, Smaug style.

But either way I won’t have spent thousands on storage.

That realisation was extremely liberating.

Basically, don't rent a storage locker unless you have a fairly specific exit plan. There may be exceptions like I have no intention of moving out of a condo/apartment but I do sports that require fairly large equipment. But it's a good rule-of-thumb.

But now it's a sunk cost, might as well keep it going, right?

Exactly! Why cut your losses now when it’ll surely pay off in 10 more years

Yeah, that's what you think the storage locker is for.

What is this? Google doesn't return anything for me...
