They were buying mindshare, not gonna lie, i was only 10 back then and i instantly knew that intel has got to be better than all the others because they have MMX right?!..

older devices, is rather vague, this means intel client chips even as late as panther lake do not support avx512 or avx10

Yeah even qwen 3.5 9B on my VERY old RX 580 from 2017 can make sense of my homelab given a few crucial pointers in a agents.md. I think that's wild.

There's still confidentiality (encrypted transport) and authenticity of the server, how is that the same as null'd ipsec?

You missed the point.

the even more soul crushing thing is to get the agent/claude to think in this atomic commits kind of thing. It just doesn't. At least opus doesn't IME. can you force it to do it after the fact, sure, still soul crushing to nudge it that way. Also it F's up branch-on-branch development style. I had to tell claude to use `git rebase --rebase-merges --update-branches`, add skills or memories you want, the hit ratio is abysmal.

I have this issue more often, if you want Claude to get off the beaten path, because you reallllly know a better way, memories just don't hit. In this case the agent instructions on how to get along with git is just too burnt into the agent it seems.

i felt this. My majority of time correcting claude is making it stop the stupid verbose doc comments which are completely contemporary. I can add skills/memories and claude.md hints that i want, but every time it continues with those unnecessary doc comments of 5+ lines explaining some situation which should definitely not be in a doc comment.

So you are a cog, you are a watchmaker, or you just want to read the time hoping that all these cogs will tell it. Software engineers are becoming line workers, it's okay, we had a good run. But realise we needed the press to give way for mass literacy and scientific revolution. Isn't anybody at least curious how our children will leapfrog us and what they'll do once agentic thinking is engrained in their thinking?

Probably at least half of the people reading this shudder at the above. But I thank the Lord my job has been never to typeset a press.

Leslie Lamport famously said that you should be thinking above the code. It doesn't mean you are on ly high level and handwavy. I think agents are making us unthinking above the code

corosync and pacemaker were my personal dark ages of distributed systems. With a well setup kubernetes clusters my faith is restored. Still not perfect but not a butt-crack sweating endeavor

I lack the mental capacity to comprehend the activity and 100 daemons and containers going on in an idle Kubernetes system.

It’s easier to make sense of the Linux kernel source despite being something like 30M lines of code.

Yeah that's what they all thought :P
