Software developers are famous for lamenting the high time preferences of business forcing them to make poor engineering decisions. The dynamic is common. Therefore one should not …

This could allow a very opinionated and tailored translation, which I think is the appeal. That said, I'd like to see the prompt(s) having such an effect on the subjective choices …

I like Pi, but I didn't end up using it. I tried OpenCode, Pi, Zed Editor and some NVIM packages. I wanted open source, featureful and easy to use. Specifically I wanted to easily …

Your post I responded you had said "I have come to understand it is that everything is indeed political." Now you concede a bit: > Just because most of everything has a political a…

That's great. You certainly know more the ins-and-outs, and I wish you luck.

AI critique often funnels itself into a narrow bucket: creating code blindly with AI is bad. That's easy to grant. Adversarial testing, checking developer assumptions, refactor sug…

In toying with VS Code or other 'agent harnesses' I'm always annoyed to find very long verbose system prompts "You are CoPilot. You are an expert. You can do anything you put your …

Something something pedantry.

I think a lot of this is the inevitable (and good) direction teaching must go. As someone who has self-taught most of my skills both before and after AI, some deep feedback: I don'…

If only the conversation could be rooted with this understanding, rather than it being a leaf.

There's an irony in your comment. On one hand, it's clearly starkly anti-LLM, but on the other hand, you treat humans and LLMs as similar categories, accepting a strong pro-AI fram…

That's an ambitious conclusion, and not as overly so as some may think. But I believe it is not the reason Rust adopted this policy, I think they just have a more basal and subject…

Here are the actual policies, not a comment: https://github.com/jyn514/rust-forge/blob/llm-policy/src/pol... It's in-line with the 'nanny' stereotype of the Rust community that the…

Their ostensible troubles are fueled by "exponential usage growth", demonstrated by three graphs which exclude axis labels and are aggressively cropped.

A clear hierarchy may be secured through these constraints. That's the unifier - it'd be hard to achieve these three without it. A one-pager begs of you to find the foundational va…

Uncanny Valley means the content directly evokes that creepy feeling, because the 'unrealness' is somehow subjectively apparent. But you say yourself you "have to consciously remin…

The cost is $60. https://account.brave.com/?intent=checkout&product=origin I'm just repeating this from another comment deeper-in. @microflash https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=…

Why do you nitpick his illustrative example and entirely ignore his substantive one about finance?

Give the AI less responsibility but more work. Immediate inference is a great example: if the AI can finish my lines, my `if` bodies, my struct instantiations, type signatures, etc…

There seems to be wild speculation about freedom of speech rights or hacking Signal. The FBI simply joined groupchats and read them. This is trivial stuff.

Are we really mad at scams here or is this an opportunity for a bit of projection?

Oh right, because people don’t get assaulted in places where free speech doesn’t exist. It’s totally the free speech that is causing the violence and not anything specific to any c…

Market cap is not a narrative, it’s the only objective measure so far in our dialogue. > recent That’s great you point out the importance of long term trends, I shouldn’t even have…
