Well put. After reading, I came here to say the same thing. The times that I "Claude said:" are almost always a case where Claude gave the correct answer. The real problem is if yo…

Thank you for this response. I do think this hits home as the most elegant and reasonable approach. For my teams currently, I can see us already moving toward this implicitly, but …

To me, the thing that stands out about the whole state we're in here is PR review. Yes, in an ideal world, PRs read well, are a joy to review, reflect what you discussed etc etc. W…

Ah good point! Let me just– oh dear, everyone's already dead.

What do you mean by easy? Do you mean FAANG or equivalent salary? What level of seniority? Can speak to my experience that if you are a senior engineer in London the market is rela…

I have no comment on sound mixing in general, but just to add context here, Chris Nolan intended[0] for the dialogue in some of the scenes to be inaudible over the score. I think t…

This is a US-centric take, in Europe, particularly in cities, we walk everywhere. There is perhaps some relevance to the analogy however, because the US is designed in such a way t…

Depends on seniority and market, but my experience has not matched this. In my recent search I even had a company change their process at my request. Too many companies just copy t…

I guess you can make the argument that legislating repairability will raise the price floor for devices because it increases the cost to the manufacturer. This isn't a problem for …

Imagining future possibilities and implementing software to account for them are two different things. The argument here is to validate those possibilities before acting on them.

IME tok/s is only useful with the additional context of ttft and total latency. At this point a given closed-model does not exist in a vaccuum but rather in a wider architecture th…

More often than not I've seen this be the case. Refactoring as "rewrite using my idiomatic style, so that I can understand it", which does not scale across the team so the next eng…

I like guns and cars, but not sports. How exactly is it performative? Both are engineering marvels and fascinating to watch videos about, and they also happen to be a load of fun. …

In reverse? What do you mean exactly? As someone who is neither an Elon fan nor a hater, it irks me how deranged HN is about anything Musk-related.

Other than the inconvenience, is there any privacy risk in just having a separate device purely for those apps and nothing else? Or is it more of a principle to resist this being f…

I'm not sure where you live but a lot of countries don't have this (yet) or it is optional.

I think it's beneficial to hear this, as I've definitely been on the other side of this before now. So, thanks for sharing. As much as we can fault the technology and the hype arou…

I mean to be fair, "Just use Postgres" will get 400 votes here without people even clicking TFA.

Agree with this tactic, very useful when working in a team. I use a --dry-run=false approach.

"... how much ram has the system" is a typo or an ESL mistake, so not an LLM.

This is just for the web interface, the API is staying for now.

IME 5.2-codex (high) is not as good as Opus 4.5, xhigh is equivalent but also consumes quota at a higher rate (much like Opus).

In the future?
