My team tried coderabbit and qodo and they are both trash compared to a tool we quickly built in-house that is more or less a thin wrapper around claude/codex, along with per-repo …

This project argues that with appropriate harness, the performance gap between frontier and much smaller open weight models shrinks dramatically: https://github.com/antoinezambelli…

"definitely an OP-is-autistic problem" is an absurd claim to make about an internet stranger, and violates comment guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html .

Do you happen to have any links to more info about this schedule system. If I Google “sears schedule system” I get a bunch of results about vaccines, and if I append “logistics” th…

Claude Design was iterating on the plans page and decided to remove clutter and their review bot LGTM’d it as “minor copy change human review not required” and auto-merged it.

I don’t have much experience with pony but it seems like it addresses the core concerns in this article by design https://www.ponylang.io/discover/why-pony/ . I wish it were more p…

Evidence is often contradictory, especially in the social sciences--that is not a terribly damning charge in this case. Additionally, there is evidence that relationship between so…

Could you elaborate as you why you think it is a grotesque strawman? It doesn’t strike me as such, even on rereading.

Buildkite doesn't have per-minute charges for self-hosted agents.

The ad is hilariously bad but McDonald’s has done many terrible ads over the years where “creatives” were involved eg the infamous random red couch ad.

I would like this to be true, but am a bit skeptical. I am what the article calls an "industrial software engineer" and I work on "low- to medium-assurance" projects, but have used…

Roll back is not always the right answer. I can’t speak to its appropriateness in this particular situation of course, but sometimes “roll forward” is the better solution.

Here are the article's main points, as I see them: 1. The "modern American self" is best defined by (the tension between) Franklin and Rousseau. 2. Rousseau believes X and Franklin…

I don't know much about Franklin, but this strikes me as a gross oversimplification of Rousseau, to the point where I wonder whether the author has actually read much Rousseau, rat…

Does anyone know if the benchmarking tool the author uses, plow, avoids coordinated omission ( https://www.scylladb.com/2021/04/22/on-coordinated-omission/ )? I didn’t see any ment…

There are a lot of big claims here and literally not a single reference to anthropological research or even anything resembling it. This article is very badly argued.

If my kid is sad that she cannot have an extra granola bar, that does not imply that I am wrong to deny her, or even that she thinks I am wrong, it just means she wishes she could …

Yes, this is still the most persuasive and concise argument I’ve encountered against a whole host of forms of biological reductionism, including those based on modern fmri techniqu…

Typically with rails applications, test dependencies are not used for local development (i.e. running the rails server on your local machine), they are separate groups in the Gemfi…

This reminds me of an interview with Luce Irigaray in which, IIRC, the interviewer asks her if she is (or considers herself to be) a "writer", using the French word écrivain, a mas…

“Conscientiousness is also negatively correlated to intelligence at around -0.27” Do you have a citation that supports that claim without qualifiers? I recently reviewed a bunch of…

Here is my understanding, roughly: - say you need a messaging system to communicate between different components - that messaging system is a 3rd party library or tool, it has no k…
