    It would be hilarious if they don't know how to fix it because this was built by "running loops calling Claude" and they haven't the faintest idea of the present underlying archite…

    Yep - its an interesting angle to look at it. Or rather OpenSource might have just saved the world!

    This is more an example of code distribution rather than intelligence. If Claude had NOT been trained on compiler code, it would NOT have been able to build a compiler. Definitely …

    SaaS dying is mostly nonsense. Which is easier to vibecode - AI agent or Salesforce? The fragmentation in the AI agent space will be markedly larger than at the base CRM layer. Abd…

    This is nonsense to get you to work more for the same pay. Its good to do this to get an idea of what it means to work on a higher level but it WILL NOT get you promoted. Promotion…

    With an LLM it takes 15 minutes. With libraries and books and youtube and research probably 4 hours. Thats a meaningful difference to get upto speed. If you're an engineer you get …

    The LLMs help you understand how the pricing works. Eg: when my shower didn't work I was able to figure out all steps - and also do most of them before getting stuck at one particu…

    First thing that I thought off when LLMs came out - literally been in my head for 2 years. A lot of price gouging is based on you not knowing the details or the process. With LLMs …

    I use an app but I also have an excel sheet where I track everything very carefully every week or so. Trust my excel sheet much much more. Honestly for everyone I know this is how …

    Untrue - there isn't a personal finance solution that doesn't have mistakes. Not one. I've literally tried them all. Its mostly because the syncing with accounts is very very britt…

    Could you elaborate on what you mean? That 80% of medical issues could be categorized as "standard medicine" with some personalization to the person? residency you obviously see a …

    I've seen that LLMs hallucinate in very subtle ways when guidng you through a course of treatment. Once when having to administer eyedrops to a parent, and I saw redness and was be…

    With LLMs the ability to create your own experience whilst using services as "databases" is really possible. My crazy though is that this is where the internet will go. One of the …

    This is also why starting your own thing will give you better experience at being a VP than working at a 9-5. (But it’s also harder than being a VP.) And if you’re going back to 9-…

    This is an interesting. AI leads to more useless dives down into the internets.

    Practical knowledge is the at most important. Weirdly you’ll get a lot of useful experience as you analyze yourself through 80 years.

    From a knowledge standpoint an LLM can give you pointers at any point. Theres no way it will "fall short". You just have to improve your prompt. In the worst case scenario you can …

    You just aren’t delving deep enough. For every problem that stops you, ask the LLM. With enough context it’ll give you at least a mediocre way to get around your problem. It’s stil…

    Yes. LLMs are the perfect learning assistant. You can now do literally anything. Literally. Going to take a while for everyone to figure this out but they will given time.
