    Yeah well. MCPs are better for use cases where remote access is required, but for development use cases what you need in the majority of use cases is to manipulate local files. Ski…

    I checked the codex source code a few months ago and the implementation was very basic compared to opencode

    It is definitely a real problem to be solved. We used something similar in an IOT application some time ago

    Very good article. With regards to the guy being a designer, he is IMHO still correct with regards to layouts. Currently LLMs ares till pretty clueless about layouts. Also SWE is m…

    Merkel (CDU) pushed it after Fukushima, because "oh it's dangerous", which wasn't rational, but she knew people wanted it

    He is on of the few politicians who follow his beliefs about what needs to be done, less so about what is popular. He also made sure Germany had enough gas. He had nothing todo wit…

    Cursor's search is still better(faster and cheaper) then Claude Code. I just did some tests. It looks like they do agentic searches with query rewriting.

    Following dependencies is the way to go IMHO. Saying "Code Doesn't Think in Chunks", is IMHO not correct. Developers do thing in chunks of codes. E.g. this function calls that func…

    I am not so sure this makes sense. Training a model to directly use certain tools (web search etc) makes the model very specialized and less flexible. As long as other solutions ar…

    it is also the "right thing to do" IMHO.

    I am using a slightly modified Extend layout since a couple of years, and it was really a game changer for me.

    isn't 1080p resolution too low for that size?

    I agree that putting the vectors in a separate DB often does not makes. Just use Hana https://news.sap.com/2024/04/sap-hana-cloud-vector-engine-ai... ;-) IMHO putting the calculati…

    WASM ATM is IMHO most useful for VSCode Extension, where it can help to avoid the dependency nightmare that nodejs modules with native code cause.

    I agree this is not a great test. What's good about it is that it is a constraint satisfaction problem, and I would expect LLMs to be pretty bad at unknown problems of this kind. S…

    It also very much depends on the quality of your documents. E.g. if you have a set of very good recipes, rather than a random set coming for the Internet, then you can get very goo…

    It is like others relying on tracking memory allocations. Which has it"s place, but to really analyze memory usage you would need to be able to analyze which "objects" are keeping …
