    I used to be on 5.4 high for most of my work. I have switched completely to 5.5 medium now. I would highly recommend trying it out - 5.5 is significantly more token efficient than …

    May I ask if you're an insider / some who has first hand information about this?

    I founded a UG and a GmbH in 2024. It took me 3 months total including visits to the notary (who charges a non-insignificant sum for their services). I did this as a subsidiary for…

    Agree on all points, especially half of my friend circle being unemployed at one point. Folks with amazing jobs having to spend >1y trying to find a "meh" job. Pretty much impossib…

    Most people actually using python do not start off in scripts. Usually, I would mess around in IPython / Jupyter for a couple days until I have something I'm happy with. Then I'll …

    This is partially why, at least for LLM-assisted coding workloads, orgs are going with the $200 / mo Claude Code plans and similar.

    Presumably the tab based edit-prediction model + $5 of tokens is worth the (new) $10 / mo price. Though from everything I've read online, Zed's edit prediction model is far, _far_ …

    RLHF is not the "RL" the parent is posting about. RLHF is specifically human driven reward (subjective, doesn't scale, doesn't improve the model "intelligence", just tweaks behavio…

    Right, it took me a couple of re-reads and I (non-native speaker) ended up asking ChatGPT about it and yes, the sentence is worded incorrectly

    As others have said, this is classic selection-effect. Lina Khan isn't coming out and telling people about - the companies that died because acquiring them was too much of a hassle…

    I worked at a company where we copied this from Amazon for a specific type of meeting (bi-weekly review). But we also had the other "normal" type of meeting. People never read the …

    This is really cool! Just started using it today. It's missing some of superwhisper's ease of use but other than that, 10/10

    Exactly this. In Germany, the median software developer is treated (and paid) pretty much the same as a blue collar worker, both by their company and by society at large. From call…

    This makes sense. And this is only accelerating - I talk to businesses in Germany and there's a genuine, non-insignificant number of people who want their data to be /physically/ i…

    Yeah, I actually looked at atom sometime back. They have a problem with long lines because their regex engine runs in O(n^2). I suggested that they switch to a regex engine that ru…
