    Maybe, but it's reality. Not too long ago the rule would be "if it doesn't show up in google, it doesn't exist". Today agents+LLMs are better browsers than Chrome/Safari/Firefox/..…

    The best way to read the information on the internet today is via a LLM. Just like you don't process raw data in a data warehouse or datalake by looking at tables, you use a SQL or…

    Go value proposition for me, when developing with Claude code: 1) fast compilation times, faster iterations, 2) user friendly to install, one single binary per platform, 3) feels s…

    We’re way beyond that, LLMs are used for reasoning - plan, do, check, act. They will define a goal, decide how to get the info needed (run a script for example), and use these new …

    Exactly, and a dsl gives you many options and tools to make the llm more reliable: a grammar enables deterministic syntax checker, error messages injecting correct syntax into the …

    For open source llms you can give your grammar to the llm to help it decide what valid next tokens it can generate.

    They don't need to, they can use tools to validate their assumptions.

    I think the hard part is not the syntax itself but the shift in thinking: instead of procedural state manipulation expressing the desired end result in declarative set based relati…

    What is an original image? A good photographer can also create a completely different impression. And it's hard to get rules applied, suing is often too expensive, for consumers, a…

    Instead of fighting the use of AI for home interior picture, it might be more useful to have an AI that can correct the fabricated images. If the listing includes room sizes, an AI…

    Apparently not enough people want what you want, that is also democracy, accepting that things other people want can be prioritized,

    Yes, you get to say what you want, but that doesn’t mean you get what you want. With millions of people all saying something different, nobody gets exactly what they want.
