In the context of what I was replying to: > This is a chicken and egg problem I find hard to resolve with LLMs. If we're pushed to delegate most work to them, how do you build that…

But how would you know? If you're an inexperienced developer you may well end up ingraining bad patterns without even realizing it.

What if the code sucks, because it was vibe coded by an LLM over a dozen disparate sessions?

Will second this, as someone that took the same path. Alternatives like Fastmail are so, so cheap when compared to the headache of building, maintaining, and troubleshooting a DIY …

Hats off to the folks behind this for keeping such a cool project alive! This, ReactOS, and TempleOS have been my answer to the question of: "what should I install if I'm looking f…

What is your definition of "known to be a clown"? I'm not sure how one would even begin to evaluate that at scale. Or what practical impact that would actually have for anything bu…

You're implying that reckless rewrites within the JS ecosystem are a novel event, or more specifically that surprise language changes over a short period of time are. And yet... I …

Enough to make judgement calls on them based on the individual Twitter posts of each of their developers? Absolutely not! If I go beyond the initial vetting, that's a minimum of 30…

I don't have the personal investment that you appear to have with Bun, but why does this matter? Do you scrutinize the rest of your dependencies this way? Much of working in the JS…

As others have mentioned: battery, build quality, Linux-ish ecosystem. If I could get all three in another laptop I would go for it, but nothing comes close at the moment. There wa…

Would definitely tend to agree. Whenever I read complaints about accuracy of LLMs with complex systems, it has generally been from those that aren't thinking very critically about …

Getting Opus to call something local sounds interesting, since that's more or less what it's doing with Sonnet anyway if you're using Claude Code. How are you getting it to call ou…

Assuming you ran the gamut up from what you could fit on 32 or 64GB previously, how noticeable is the difference between models you can run on that vs. the 512GB you have now? I've…

You would still have to do some pretty outstanding volume before that makes sense over choosing the "Enterprise" plan from OpenAI or Anthropic if data retention is the motivation. …

But why? Spending several thousand dollars to run sub-par models when the break-even point could still be years away seems bizarre for any real usecase where your goal is productiv…

If 40k is the barrier to entry for impressive, that doesn't really sell the usecase of local LLMs very well. For the same price in API calls, you could fund AI driven development a…

I don't think the concepts are as unrelated as you're suggesting, they both tend to operate on the premise that they can be more effective than others because they're able to bypas…

I don't know that I care much for the mythologization of effective developers as "Wolves" and "10x-ers" which are this decade's equivalent of Ninja / Rockstar / Guru, but a similar…

I was part of a user study on Azure back when it first rolled out-- they were looking for seniors with an AWS background to participate in UX research, and I remember walking out o…

I maintain to this day that the Zune was one of the best designed hardware and software platforms I've ever used. Probably the only truly design forward product that MS ever produc…

It's arguable, even if you're right, that the net loss to humanity is still far greater without these restrictions than with. Modern social media is leading to multiple generations…

Yes, this is the true dividing factor for me. The battery life of the new ARM laptops is an astounding upgrade from any device I have ever used. I've been a reluctant MacBook user …

As I'm sure the author now realizes: truly elite skill among those working in the trades is in wildly high demand as compared to what someone might expect coming from the software …

This comment makes me feel so sad. I lack the words to describe what critical essence this question is missing, but technology used to mean a hacker ethos of just doing things beca…

Absolutely. The value proposition for me with rideshare services has ALWAYS been the conversations and experiences you get to have with a diverse cross section of humanity. I'd tak…
