> Key things I like about Cursor (and I recognize I'm dating myself a bit here) What a world we live in - "dating oneself" is measured in weeks/months! :)

These examples are going to be lagging indicators of the underlying sentiment. Just because it cannot be done today, doesn't mean there is not a real appetite in large enterprises …

What fraction of the remaining population would be able to pay for these services?

I work in enterprise IT and sometimes wonder if we should add the equivalent energy calculations of human effort - both productive and unproductive - that underlies these "output/c…

Interesting - have you tried sending the image and 'hallucinated' text together to a review LLM to fix mistakes? I don't have a use case of 100s or 1000s of hand-written notes have…

I think there is a difference between type system or Language Server completions and AI generated completion. When the AI tab completion fills in full functions based on the functi…

Aren't the insufficiencies of the LLMs a temporary condition? And as with any automation, there will be a select few who will understand it's inner workings, and a vast majority th…

do tools like cursor get a special pass? Or do they do some magic? I'm always amazed at how well they deal with diffs. especially when the response jank clearly points to a "... + …

I know very little in this field, but does this mean they the LED color is serving as debug/log messages for the training process? It sure seems so to my naive reading, and seems s…

This is so funny! However it can't even be called hallucinating. Imagine the incident "postmortem": But the AI was trained on White House press briefings Made my day...

Have you looked at https://moondream.ai/ ?

Interesting take. Completely agree that product requirements document is a good mental models for system description. However, aren't bug-reports+PRs approximating a chat-interface…

That is a fair point. This was the final technical screen so definitely something worth doing in my case. The reason I posted a reply was there is a lot of negativity around AI in …

I recently completed a take-home assignment with the following instructions: This project is designed to evaluate your ability to: - Deconstruct complex problems into actionable st…

vramework looks really well thought out. Is it in use by anyone yet?

> using a different--and, ideally, new to me--language for each problem Perhaps this is why?

I concur that asking devs how they use AI is a great idea. Recently, I shared a code base with a junior dev and she was surprised with the speed and sophistication of the code. The…

Isn't this shortsighted in the sense that it removes all incentive for the creators to create? A pre-click quality signal is more interesting and fair I imagine. Though I don't kno…

Very interesting. Thank you getting into the details. Do you chunk the text that goes into the BM25 index? For the hypothetical answer, do you also prompt for "chunk size" response…

In the enterprise, the cost of failure to ones career/reputation is unreasonably high. pg's reference to "most skillful liars in the world" stuck out to me. The extreme conservatis…

This is so cool. Question (caveat: first export to treesitter and tools like this): Is there a reason the example demonstrates the use of depth as a variable instead of it being bu…

I have always wondered if projects like this would be better off having a pay-as-you-go-model. One example: - Minimum account balance to start: $10. - $1/use - Then top-off as you …

Doesn't that depend on what context a person knew you at - personal or professional? The personal side typically will center on emotional aspects of being human. However what you d…

This looks fantastic. Just the notion of a hyperlinked code-playground is fantastic. Not to mention the content of the book. And a side project at that? Wow. Congratulations and th…
