    Yeah, I mean the last 3 or four big releases of models have come with big scary news. I have to think there is at least some intentional marketing effort behind all this

    A maxim I’ve arrived at working w llm every day is “put deterministic things in code, non deterministic in llm”. I do wish the harnesses would be more helpful in this regard. For e…

    What is the “middlest” Mac one could get for this? I’m in the market but keep going back and forth between a 64gb m5 pro or “lower end m5 air and screw it I’ll just pay for cloud t…

    Yup. I’ve been evaluating several on openrouter and find token cost meaningless for my work. I haven’t found a great alternative, though the “cost per task” he uses makes some sens…

    My thought process is that I don’t mind a slower model if it can work in background for me 24/7 fleshing out side gig ideas I have floating around but no time to focus on myself. I…

    I’ve been considering a move to local llm setup, having been underwhelmed coat vs value of various online offerings. But at the same time worried anything I get will be obsolete in…

    We’ve been using aikido code scanning and pen test tools and been pretty impressed. Will have to take a look at this.

    I have thought that extremely accessible, portable, non-radiation imaging would be revolutionary. Imagine every doctor - or even every person - had a handheld thing they could wave…

    I tried this but it took over my mic and people couldnt hear me on teams call until I turned it off. Nice idea but needs to share the mic w teams to be useful for me. Not sure if i…

    Maybe dumb question: One of the use cases is instrument reading of analog instruments. My brain immediately goes to "this should have some sensor sending data, and not be analog". …

    This is my life goal right now. I have a bajillion ideas, know how to code them (even faster now), and just not enough time due to day job. A few questions: How do you market them?…

    I get that it's annoying, but also don't know what else one would do? "FooPilot is our Office AI toolset, BarWonk is our code assist tool"? There are also a lot of Claudes and GPTs…

    Git is a distributed source control system. It's open source and you can use it to version source code on your drive and/or a remote git repository. Github is one of the most popul…

    I’ve often thought this would be a good business for college age kids or teens. My parents and other I know are hesitant to send off to a 3rd party online. I think if someone local…

    Similar. I regularly use Github copilot (with claude models sometimes) and it works amazingly. But I see some who struggle with them. I have sort of learned to talk to it, understa…

    I am a developer turned (reluctantly) into management. I still keep my hands in code and work w team on a handful of projects. We use GitHub copilot on a daily basis and it has bec…

    Similar story. I’m a bit younger, but Amiga BASIC/VB3/VB6/ASP/.NET was my path. There was a joy when “Visual Studio” meant “you can visually drag a component on and that is the app…

    I was just thinking about this today. Apples lack of any 3rd party integration for things like this and iMessage is really annoying sometimes. In addition to a secondary backup, I’…

    I have used this in a “beta” feature for an enterprise app and really like it. In ~100 lines of code I have a secured OpenAI compatible endpoint that I can chat with, and write too…

    Kinda get what he’s saying: provide more metadata with structured logging as opposed to lots of string only logs. Ok, modern logging frameworks steer you towards that anyway. But a…

    I really want this but for Azure Devops. If you're not familiar, Microsoft owns both Github and Azure Devops, and both do similar: git repos and project management. I can use Githu…
