OP here. I wouldn't necessarily call it a waterfall, but it's definitely systemized. The main idea was to remove the vibe from vibe coding and use the AI as a tool rather than as the developer itself. By starting off with knowing exactly what we want to develop on a high(ish) level (= PRD), we can then create an implementation plan (epic) and break it down into action items (tasks/issues).

One of the benefits of using AI is that these processes, which I personally never followed in the pre-AI era, are now easy and frictionless to implement.

I think for me personally, such a linear breakdown of the design process doesn't work. I might write down "I want to do X, which I think can be accomplished with design Y, which can be broken down into tasks A, B, and C" but after implementing A I realize I actually want X' or need to evolve the design to Y' or that a better next task is actually D which I didn't think of before.

Waterfall is what works for most consulting businesses. Clients like the buzz of agile but they won't budge on scope, budget or timeframe. You end up being forced to do waterfall.

Waterfall might be what you need when dealing with external human clients, but why would you voluntarily impose it on yourself in miniature?

Sorry, I'm going to be critical:

"We follow a strict 5-phase discipline" - So we're doing waterfall again? Does this seem appealing to anyone? The problem is you always get the requirements and spec wrong, and then AI slavishly delivers something that meets spec but doesn't meet the need.

What happens when you get to the end of your process and you are unhappy with the result? Do you throw it out and rewrite the requirements and start from scratch? Do you try to edit the requirements spec and implementation in a coordinated way? Do you throw out the spec and just vibe code? Do you just accept the bad output and try to build a new fix with a new set of requirements on top of it?

(Also the llm authored readme is hard to read for me. Everything is a bullet point or emoji and it is not structured in a way that makes it clear what it is. I didn't even know what a PRD meant until halfway through)

The way it totally disregards the many explicit instructions given in the "four panel" comic strip.

I wonder whether it will have a flat namespace that everyone competes over or whether the top-level keys will be user/project identifiers of some sort. I hope the latter.

tmvphil · 11 days ago

Fundamentally we still have the flat namespace of top level python imports, which is the same as the package name for ~95% of projects, so I'm not sure how they could really change that.

there needs to be a benchmark for this actually.

Kind of have one with the missing image benchmark: https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-5/#more-honest-resp...

Lots of outrage at the card companies, but strangely, no outrage at the laws that actually caused this. One is the Australian law to remove that type of content and the other is the US law that says the payment processor can't participate in illegal transactions.

tmvphil · 20 days ago

As opposed to a hypothetical scenario where it is legal to participate in illegal transactions?

For most people, a 1 hour moderate run is only about 1-2 cookies worth (and only half a Crumbl cookie). Even a marathon run might only burn 2000 calories . a chipotle burrito is 1600 .

In other words, for 95% of people doing activity, they shouldn't eat any surplus if their goal is to maintain or lose weight.

It's actually best to do most of your activity undernourished, as it helps develop true intuitive nutrition feedback sensation. You'll start to sense how every macro and salt feels when you ingest it. Loss of this sensation is a major obesity driver. A numbness for nutrients.

tmvphil · a month ago

I don't think a chipotle burrito is actually 1600 calories unless you do something non-standard. Probably 800-1100

Q CLI has so many issues though, injects so much junk into you shell profiles it can slow down your terminal invocations by seconds, and it doesn't support standard streamableHttp / SSE MCP servers.

I turn that stuff off and just use `q chat` for everything, which actually works very well in my experience.

If there is a gap in intelligence between two humans, does that mean to you that one of them is necessarily not a general intelligence? The current crop of AIs get some of the questions right by reasoning through them. That means they are already intelligent in the way ARC-AGI-2 measures intelligence. They just aren't very capable ones.

If AI at least equal humans in all intellectual fields then they are super-intelligences, because there are already fields where they dominate humans so outrageously there isn't a competition (nearly all fields, these days). Before they are superintelligences there is a phase where they are just AGIs, we've been in that phase for a while now. Artificial superintelligence is very exciting, but Artificial non-super Intelligence or AGI is here with us in the present.

tmvphil · 2 months ago

You can define AGI however you want I suppose, but I would consider it achieved when AI can achieve at least about median human performance on all cognitive tasks. Obviously computers are useful well before this point, but it is clearly meaningful line in the sand, useful enough to merit having a dedicated name like "AGI". Constructed tasks like ARC-AGI simply quantify what everyone can already see, which is that current models cannot be used as a drop-in replacement for humans in most cases.

To me, superintelligence means specifically either dominating us in our highest intellectual accomplishments, i.e. math, science, philosophy or literally dominating us via subordinating or eliminating humans. Neither of these things have happened at all.
