    I think because the only places you can download it from are either from the App Store or logging into Apple’s developer’s website.

    Basically, I’d say the LLM doesn’t have a “theory” of anything that wasn’t in its training. It’ll always treat your project as if it was reading a book for the first time. As an ex…

    Often times to write a good enough specification in a way the LLM won’t misunderstand it, you need to really understand the code and the possible pitfalls in it though. A few times…

    You’re not wrong, but there’s a nuance here. More often than not our thoughts fool us into thinking we have something clear when we have only a vague idea of what you want to do. I…

    I’d like to recommend people to read the “Programming as a theory building” article and why the code itself isn’t enough to understand the whole context of a complex project. Every…

    It’s what’s called in software engineering as “casual software” as a differentiator of “business software” and “critical software”. Not all types needs a high bar of quality, and m…

    Feels a bit like the AI browser that in the end imported Servo for all difficult things.

    The way I see it, this is only possible because you can trust the lower layers work reliably and predictably enough that you can move up. If your operating system was regenerated e…

    > it spends the 6 hours waiting for the tickets to go on sale and buys them for you Or not, because other 7 billion agents were also waiting for it.

    I guess the thing here (which they admit in the post) is that they’re just porting it to Vite, which is the real champ of the story. The LLM basically worked as a translator instea…

    Actually, most VPN providers explicitly label the virtual locations as such, I think the famous ones at least do it (ex: Proton and NordVPN even explain them in their respective do…

    It depends on whether the VPN is lying to you. Proton, for example, makes them quite explicit in the software and even lists them for you here: https://protonvpn.com/support/how-sm…

    Yeah, Proton is quite explicit about that: https://protonvpn.com/support/how-smart-routing-works

    I have this impression that LLMs are so complicated and entangled (in comparison to previous machine learning models) that they’re just too difficult to tune all around. What I mea…

    Comment #46244196

    Anything that is very specific has the same problem, because LLMs can’t have the same representation of all topics in the training. It doesn’t have to be too niche, just specific e…

    It doesn’t really solve it as a slight shift in the prompt can have totally unpredictable results anyway. And if your prompt is always exactly the same, you’d just cache it and byp…

    Even assuming it’s not malicious, the script can mess up your environment configuration.

    Not sure that’s even possible with ChatGPT embedding your chat history in the prompts to try to give more personal answers.

    I think it would be better to just use Docker/Podman at this point?

    Exactly, it’s really weird to see all this people claiming these wonderful things about LLMs. Maybe it’s really just different levels of amazement, but I understand how LLMs work, …

    You’re over complicating something that is very simple. The stock market reflects people’s sentiments: greed, excitement, FOMO, despair… A bubble doesn’t need a grand catalyst to c…

    Brazil had many times a judge punished WhatsApp by blocking it in Brazil, and all the times that happened, Telegram gained hundreds of thousands of new users.
