The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 8 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Wu: Computer science theory will become more valuable in AI era
“If anything, I think the theory of computer science is going to be even more valuable, you know, understanding the layers of abstraction and knowing, you know, the basic model of how a computer works and how to break down problems logically and how to reason w…”
Scott Wu: Extracting full AI value on complex codebases still requires engineers
“And then I think there are a lot of these kind of like larger and more complex tasks, you know, working on a big code base or figuring out things with your existing product or, you know, building, as you're saying, like a lot of this really kind of these bigge…”
Scott Wu: Clean feedback loops make coding the first AI-automated domain
“Code is one of the first ones because it's so nicely automatable. There's a clean feedback loop and all of these things that you can really train models to get really good at code.”
Scott Wu: AI coding must solve legacy constraints, not just capabilities
“And so I think one of the big things, honestly, that, that that we're solving as a space is, is actually not just the capability itself, but just solving for a lot of these practical constraints and getting the technology to the point where it works for everyo…”
Scott Wu: Multimodal input enables AI agents to debug and iterate
“Similarly, I think, you know, being able to use image or being able to interact with these other data sources is, is what really gives AI is that same capability.”
Wu: Software engineers spend 90% of time on maintenance tasks
“The thing is you only spend about 10% of your time doing that, you know, as a software engineer in practice, you probably spend about 90% of your time, you know, dealing with your Kubernetes and fixing your unit tests and upgrading your thing to the new versio…”
Scott Wu: Long-term AI coding moats depend on codebase personalization
“In the longterm, I think these things naturally do kind of converge to a point. And there are a few particular pieces I would say that, that really kind of caused that. And one of the big ones that I'll just point out is, you know, there really is a lot of I g…”
