I have tried running llamma.cpp on my PC and I found it hard getting it to run at decent speed. On Qwen 3.5-9b I get at most 10tk/s. I eventually switched to LM studio and the same…

One thing I realized is just how much offline local models can hurt mass data collection. For example, I needed to write an invitation letter for immigration control for a relative…

I have been running Claude Code using its built-in /sandbox feature with this config: "sandbox": { "enabled": true, "failIfUnavailable": true, "autoAllowBashIfSandboxed": true, "al…

There is this implicit debate in web application development of cascading+overriding vs non-cascading-no-overriding. A lot of people don't even realize this is where the line is dr…

One of the main problems I face is that business knowledge is not explicitly written down and formulated. No matter how much you describe something in human text format those are n…

I actually prefer using less powerful models most of the time, I might use a stronger model initially and then switch to weaker models as I fine tune the output. Offloading too muc…

If the same amount of people bought your app at the same rate as if you hand-written it, then no. In fact your productivity would have grown 10x (half a day vs 1 work-week). The ac…

> If junior devs are productively producing software that then goes unused then how productive were they really Most ways of measuring productivity across an economy (in macro sens…

The new coal plants are not planned to run a full capacity (or at all) they are meant for backup in case of environmental disaster and geopolitics (war, sanctions, tariffs, etc). S…

I have seen some uncensored versions of existing open models made by 3rd parties, I wonder how they actually work and in what way are the outputs different.

China has been known to set up local industry, destroy competition through subsidies, jack up prices repeatedly. US does it all the time too with tech services (uber, airbnb, are t…

Ideally there would be open weight models from multiple geopolitical areas. It is not that different from telecom really, you don't want the whole world to be dependent on a single…

The fear is not about the models open weights it is the erosion of training capability in other countries. Why train models when they do it for free? Until they don't of course, or…

Good point, but it could easily happen from both sides. The harness can just be default-tuned to think longer and harder on problems, or have dark UI patterns so the user _chooses_…

As soon as tokens stop being subsidized I would not trust any harness made by a company that also charges for the compute. Right now the interests align, but as soon as more tokens…

It is all about the destination now where it used to be about the journey and the destination.

You don't understand what the OP said, your brain can get a intrinsic reward from seeing users use your LLM work. But LLM remove all the little intrinsic rewards from coding elegan…

You put it in a good way, I have been saying this for my partner that I don't fear my job is at risk. I fear I am going to hate my job soon. I am coping a bit by still doing stuff …

As far as I understand co-routines help don't really help with memory shared across go-routines. They only help in the fact you need to manage spawning and joining threads, making …

isn't it the exact same as C in this regard? The pointer being on the stack or not depends how it was originally allocated.

It also varies heavily on the kind of static analysis tools you are using in conjunction with your compiler. Some "bad" things about the language are just fine if they can be caugh…

I think LLMs actually greatly improve accessibility, they are great about finding bad patterns in code. You can literally run a "open this codebase and improve accessibility where …

For normal OSS the only competition between contributors was for attention of maintainers to review and accept patches. In an open-source LLM model contributors would compete with …

I think the main problem in LLM models is that you can not make a PR to an open source project to tweak some training parameters, prove it is an improvement and merge it. If you ca…

VSCode at least prompts you to trust the project folder before running anything, otherwise it will use a globally installed LSP.
