In what dystopian black mirror alternate reality can anyone possibly perceive this as saving the profession of programming? It sounds like hell.

Maybe it improved in the last year but it's substantially worse than before it became X. Back then the algorithm was tuned to align with the users interests and posts would get vis…

I always thought that the frontier coding models were specifically trained to perform well in the harness from their providers. I imagine this will always be the case to some exten…

I imagine most people that get into entrepreneurship do so precisely because they don't want to go work for someone else.

The difference is that Anthropic engineers have infinite tokens to throw at these problems for free. The rest of us do not and that's where optimizations in how the coding harness …

But many people are doing just that, automating workflows through prompt templates and skills.

> I can’t help but wonder whether constant use of “agent” harnesses will lead to an atrophy of the software engineering (or really any field) muscles. It will, but I'm not sure the…

The default system prompt is so lean: https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/codi...

Yes, if you're just going down a list of jira tickets and implementing product features, but for many folks it's also an art medium.

Mostly yes, but I think it's both, because some people become life long fans, like the adult Pokemon card collectors.

In my experience most people with the type of critique I'm seeing from you have only tried it one time or have not taken the time to invest in an environment/process that will work…

I'm curious. What have you actually tried? Are you just prompting the LLM with one off tasks? For good results, you need to take the time to read the documentation for the harness …

#2 is not really an option though. It's more like #1 or #3.

If you use lmstudio it will tell you which models will fit in what you've got available.

It's great, but I wish I could use these things without it feeling like my laptop is going to melt through the desk.

You can also use JS to inject a CSP and it will enforce the strict most policy.

There are paid solutions for this, I've seen Exa recommended.

I've been relatively impressed with local llms, but by far the hardest thing for me is how hot they make my laptop run.

I believe it's 9k/year in parking revenue.

Back in the day when I was in HS, kids would go to Borders and swap the stickers from cheap books onto expensive computer books.

For me the vision/OCR is much better than other models in weights class.

> Yes ai can’t see, it only understands numbers. I've also used AI to build frontends that I'm more than satisfied with, and I think it can "see" perfectly fine. The frontier model…

I think it's safe to assume that "AI help was used" in everything these days and I don't understand why that should be a problem.
