I built a memory system that periodically analyzes my interactions, breaks it down into conversation threads, and saves those threads to disk. When I load claude, it loads those conversation threads.. They are summarized every 200k tokens or so, but the threads remain available so no detail is actually lost.

There should be zero inheritance tax. The tax on that money was already paid and if I give it to my children, even if they are adults, it should be tax free.

You know what is a great resource for muscling through these? Claude.

Why I dread reading cellular networking papers:
A paper I'm reading has:
- 77 abbreviations, 30 of which are never expanded. WTF is UPF?
- Abbreviations account for 20% of nouns and 8% of all words.
- 20% of sentences contain 3+ abbreviations.
Which is why just training models on what we know now and burning all the books or deleting all the archives is the wrong answer, actually.
There is a person on Facebook marketplace selling the complete 120 issue collection of BYTE magazine, all shrink-wrapped in mint condition, for 1400 bucks.
It's the second most valuable skill, but yes. John is largely correct.
The first skill is to generate ideas. Good, bad, mediocre... just have ideas. Then articulate them.
So everyone's excited about this "research", but it's not research.
It's an opinion piece from an investment firm.
And the big conclusion is that software engineers need to become software engineers:
"The most valuable skill is no longer writing code efficiently but articulating tasks with sufficient clarity, context, and constraints..."
That's always been the most valuable skill.
"Be as adverse to uncertainty as the situation will allow."
I like this, I mean as some kind of axiom, with respect to network engineering.
It will always be Lake Ontario. Native Americans called it that long before the colonies. The name has nothing to do with the province or Canada.
This is stupid. Thank for you for your time.
"x.y.z = foo" in a long list was the height of perfection for configuration files and we have all dishonored the Gods for turning away from it.
If your stuffed, blow out those sinuses with some oxymetazoline, some ashgawanda (or however you spell that), some l-theanine and sleep. Oh and electrolytes. Loads of those.
Hey @grok, how much of science has been rooted in engineering? It has always been my understanding that they have been intertwined.
