Eventually solving for cost is a much easier problem than solving coding.

I couldn't adapt to the fact that, when I click, I have to be mindful of not moving the mouse sideways with the right amount of finger pressure.

This made me remember of a benchmark that I saw a few months ago about LLMs being unexpectedly _very good_ with Perl when compared to any other language. I couldn't find it right n…

I've started using OpenSpec[0] recently to mitigate problems like that, but I'm still very early in this journey. Can someone with more experience with it (or similar tools) chime …

Ansible includes modules to handle cloud resources as well, such as AWS Lambda.

Fair point. We could classify AI generated articles in two categories: 1) articles generated with context data that's trivial to find (or even embedded into the model) 2) articles …

The problem is the signal/noise ratio in these articles. If the AI has written the article, then this same info could have been generated by my own AI, but tailored to my needs. So…

This is pretty damn cool.

On a side note, _in the context of workstations_, I wonder if a hypothetical OS that reimplements the Windows APIs (like ReactOS, but with perfect modern hardware support) would be…

Option 1 is a PM.

Can anyone give some hints on what made Civ 1 special compared to other classic entries in the franchise? Despite the nostalgia factor, of course.

I don't have a stake on AI, but more and more I see the following patterns: - people that give in to AI do so because the technical merits suddenly became too big to ignore (even f…

Kinda off-topic, but I wonder if a hypothetical OS that reimplements the Windows APIs (like ReactOS[0], but with perfect modern hardware support) would be better for end users than…

That's an interesting topic. Please, elaborate.

I was pretty surprised when I learned recently that the Java alternative for green threads doesn't use colored functions. It put Java in a higher place in my perception.

This might be a buy for me once it is fully supported by Linux. Hopefully, the muscle memory of Ctrl, Super and Alt won't get in my way.

Feels like writing tests before writing code, but with LLMs :)

Not at all. AWS IAM policy is a complex maze, but incredibly powerful. It solves this exact problem very well.

Just because of the other examples, which even include C applications or GTK ones. Not strong contenders against something derived from old Delphi like Lazarus. However, Electron &…

Lazarus[0] would probably have scored well in this exercise. [0] https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

> having a single large persistent world-shard with minimal functional instancing What do you mean by this?

Btw, I've never met a player of Meridian 59, but seeing YouTube videos about it, it might have been popular in my community if we had access to it at the time. Looks super interest…

I think a component of it is a zero sum model. Like, not everybody can be incredibly successful. Not sure how to implement this, though.
