    I think I get your point. I can't say that I've observed it writing boilerplate just for the sake of it, but it is disproportionately/abundantly present in the training set. One of…

    I can see this argument both ways. On the one hand, logically you'd expect the last assignment to take precedence, like the style attribute. On the other, conflicting styles don't …

    That's fair, each provider maintains their own cache. OpenRouter does make an effort to keep providers "sticky", but it may hop/stick to another if latency is too high. If you don'…

    Works out of the box with OpenRouter for most models. Some providers are a bit flaky, but DeekSeek (provider) has been one of the most reliable for me, no problems hitting >99% CH.…

    I find myself often trying to understand the madness of some of the code an LLM produces. Does that count? You're absolutely right! I made a mistake, and I'm sorry. . Then I end up…

    I'm inclined to agree with you, but you could make the same argument for exploiting natural resources and the environment. I don't think it's being done right at the moment, and it…

    To be honest, living in Switzerland and speaking with peers, we're just exhausted by the constant AI hype. For a lot of us, the fact that Europe isn't frantically trying to scrape …

    Being a moderately frequent user of Opus and having spoken to people who use it actively at work for automation, it's a really expensive model to run, I've heard it burn through a …

    You could make the same argument for any language. It still requires you to think and implement the solution yourself, just at a certain level of abstraction.

    Perhaps I was a little harsh, this was a few years back when I was evaluating Elixir for a client, but ended up going back to a TS/Node.js stack instead. While the Phoenix document…

    No, they aren't. You have to use BigInt, which will throw an error if you try to serialise it to JSON or combine it with ordinary numbers. If you happen to need to deserialise a 64…

    This stands to reason. If you need to bridge different languages together like in your case, they need to speak a common tongue. REST/GrahQL/gRPC solve this problem in different wa…

    To extend upon this, memory generally has a single owner. When it goes out of scope, it gets freed [1]. The drop() function, which appears analogous to free() in C/C++, is actually…

    Never heard of shadcn or franken-ui, but they look identical, one links to X (Twitter), the other to Mastodon. What's the story there?

    This is clean JavaScript syntax in my opinion and should be what people strive for. It's perfectly readable, it's faster, it does async correctly without any unnecessary computatio…

    The two are not mutually exclusive, it's probably not an issue with horizontal scaling.

    I think this is a great use case. From my experience, having everything in one language is a huge plus. You can pull data from the database and just inject it into the view. The cl…

    I decided to use Tauri for the first time for a university project and it was absolutely painless to design a small and useful GUI application to programatically generate schematic…

    I guess this comes down to personal preference. For me, this is mixing the interface with the implementation. You shouldn't need to know how something works to be able to use it, f…

    Just for fun, I tried the static variable approach for myself. I have to agree with you, it's really hard. I gave up after half an hour. Rust doesn't seem to like casting reference…

    I don't want to come off dogmatically defending Rust, I code little Rust in comparison to JS, and I've done C and C++ for some embedded systems. C is a very different monster to mo…

    This kind of already exists in the form of #[no_panic] [1]? > If the function does panic (or the compiler fails to prove that the function cannot panic), the program fails to compi…

    Really hard question to answer simply. They're two languages that are at very opposite ends of the spectrum, yet they can usually both accomplish the same goal. I think the main di…
