We shouldn't pretend that he's making a real point. I would like to see 1.2B invested to save wildlife, but that's not happening, so that's almost like a "figure of speech".

There are way better metrics of function complexity, like how many branching points, how many loops, or even just how many levels of indentation. TDD, OOP, Clean Code, etc are an a…

If you don't learn anything, you can be replaced with zero friction

More productive? If the result can be trash, of course the AI work wins. In industries where quality and performance BOTH need to be upheld, knowing these details lets you guide th…

> Do you know how x86 registers work? Or atomic instructions available on ARM, SPARC, or POWER architectures? Yeah, I have a pretty good idea of how we go from code -> IR registers…

The same as it's been! Make things without using LLMs. Don't debug with them, don't use them to research things, just do it yourself. It'll be painful and that pain is learning.

This "instant" loop is so fast because it doesn't involve the part where you learn

As a born German, I do not take most of these things for granted! And of course I complain about all the things that need to be better.

Congrats on your citizenship! You're a great showcase for why this immigration process needs to exist and why it works.

> I noticed the same thing in the rich districts of Hamburg. You can walk into one and not feel like you don't belong, and the prices in the shops are not that different from anywh…

Yes all of it goes straight to China! All of it is also open source or source available, or will be in the future. The stuff that isn't is trivial enough. For any work with protect…

No, platform.deepseek.com for me! The caching is super important, not sure how open router performs, I haven't tried it.

No js or python, it's mostly C#, Rust, and C++. They're helpful/useful on all of those, I've also used the review skill on shell scripts, GitLab pipelines, Powershell scripts, C, a…

We can expect a new v4 pro, this was a footnote in the v4 flash announcement earlier.

Oh I know, I'm just trying to say that I agree fully that a bio is a terrible proxy, while also showing what I think is a good proxy for skill (open source work before LLMs became …

I should have worded it differently. Having a model selector as `string` seems like the wrong choice. At the very least, I should be able to select 4.X, like how we select dependen…

Sounds like it'll replace v4-flash, v4.1 would be nice to keep both available. On the other hand, it's nice to just get an improvement on anything that asks for "deepseek-v4-flash"…

I agree a bio is a bad proxy, and I'm not saying I'm amazing but I'm not THAT incompetent. Most of my GitHub is pre-LLM era; github.com/lionkor Edit: And like a lot of tools, HOW y…

Aside from what squidbeak already said, I have to say the quality varies a lot, and goes above the "good" threshold enough times that using these models is worth the time and effor…

It hallucinates plenty, about the same as Codex models and all other LLMs! I review all code it writes, thoroughly, check the test coverage, write tests myself, have other models/c…

I use pi, and, like the sibling comment, the caching ratio is fantastic. I work on C#, Rust, C, C++, shell scripting, and other areas.

Yes, gladly! I have not yet open-sourced my skills etc., but I can give some insight and share a couple here. Review is a skill, as in, a SKILL.md with a folder full of references:…

I want to second this, I use the same setup (pi + deepseek, with lots of custom tools for tracking TODOs, doing things with less tokens, etc, and with a SOTA model for very difficu…
