Oh, I'm glad I don't work in the oven business. We're just starting a stealth startup that's revolutionizing dishwashers, and the prototypes are amazing. They use less water, less …

So you're saying I can absolutely have a deep, nuanced discussion with an LLM, as long as I don't ask how he arrived at his conclusions?

You say you can have increasingly nuanced discussions with stronger models. What I say is, when I asked Claude why he applied a certain change I didn't understand, and boy, it was …

Is it really cheating if you work hard and memorize all the questions? That's basically learning.

Just 300 a day? That's only one ticket every 1.5 minutes. I hope in a year we can fix an issue under 30 seconds with ZERO supervision.

Why does the AI need SQL queries? Who needs that? It will just write its own ACID-compliant database with its own language, and while it's at it, reinvent the operating system as w…

To continue, this design has additional benefits: The code is not littered with dry-run flag checks; the internal code doesn’t even know that a dry run is possible. Everything is r…

I use a similar strategy for API design. Every API call is wrapped in a large database transaction, and I either roll back or commit the transaction based on dry-run or wet-run fla…

could you share an anonymized desk photo?

I've just got a new Samsung and it's wobbling too. I hate this. Why can't they at least put the cameras in the middle? Or maybe horizontally centred? Or they could just put another…

When I started high school in the early '90s, there was a compulsory summer reading list of 10–12 books, each ranging from 300–800 pages. Then we had to write essays about them. Th…

What about reusing a CTE? Let me import a CTE definition so that it can be used throughout my app, not just in the current context.

Just two days ago, I asked ChatGPT to provide an explanation of the place-value system that my six-year-old could understand. The only problem was that it mixed up digit value and …

For me, it seems the issue with the recipe was due to pre-recorded segments. The guy quickly realized that the "AI" was ahead of the script and cut it short to avoid making a bigge…

The last time I asked for a code review from AI was last week. It added (hallucinated) some extra lines to the code and then marked them as buggy. Yes, it beats humans at coding — …

A PhD-level degree in fabrication.

The last time I asked an LLM AI to review my code, it added extra lines that weren't originally there. Then, it claimed that there were many bugs in those lines. When I pointed thi…

I have two iPad Airs, first generation, but the latest YouTube app no longer works on them. Skype and Teams don't work on old iOS either. Do you have any ideas other than using the…

and then there is Marco Pierre White, How to finely chop onions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBj9H6z6Uxw

But you can click on the chicken and it will jump. KPIs matter.

I taught my five-year-old to read in approximately three months. We progressed from simple letters to sounding out two letters, then three, then words with hyphens, then simple sto…

I'm just wondering, if AI replaces programmers, will our super AI also fix all the slowness and bugs in current software? I saw an Anthropic Claude guy talk about how AI will repla…
