kombucha that tastes like a ricola if it was sour

grady booch everyone =) (now can we stop pretending only Amodei, Altman and Hinton get a say over what it is we’re doing here?)
Contemporary frontier models are complex stateful reactive stochastic software-intensive systems with certain degrees of self-referential reflection, capable of coherent albeit unreliable outputs. Their behaviors are for the most part taught, not learned.

I brew my own booch. I have a recipe for kombucha beer, but I quit drinking over 11 years, and that one takes effort.

Grady Booch is right: as agents write more of the code, human-led architecture matters more, not less. The scarce resource was never keystrokes - it is judgment about what to build. The Judgment Compiler: #coding #dev

Generation is cheap, so the scarce act moved past the cursor: holding a whole architecture in mind. Booch is right that human-led architecture matters more now - the craft was never the typing. #coding #ai

Bill, welcome. Upset tummy? Have some booch bsky.app/profile/klei...
In a recent development, I'm officially a kombucha guy now. I shudder to think of what else I'm missing out on just because hippies like it. Like, is patchouli good?

Trying to up my probiotics, grabbed some kefir last night and I am really glad I did not look up what to expect with the taste before I tried it. Not that I didn't like it, but feel like if I knew it was going to be so tangy and tart going in, I would have rejected it. Way better than booch IMO
