This is a perfect example of where the real work and challenges are in software development. AI makes it worse. This is where people will lose tons of productivity with AI and many…

I think they are good productivity tools in that they essentially shorten the research loop. Imagine having Google and stack overflow right inside your IDE. On top of that, imagine…

If I'm being completely honest, I don't think most AI influencers even know the difference between something that is deterministic vs. non-deterministic. The author here probably g…

ActionScript, Emscripten, Dart, WebAssembly... All things that perform better and are often better to use than JavaScript (and TypeScript) and the dumb masses chose the crap we hav…

No they wouldn't. They have tons of funding. They absolutely can and do absorb costs like this. Don't think anyone is ever gonna tell you precise numbers (and it also varies based …

Yea, it costs more than that.

I wouldn't be so sure about the courts overturning it. This is yet another opportunity for this administration to test its power. Even if the courts do, it'll be very time consumin…

They're gonna crucify them. They called the Trump administration dictators. Not good.

Should make one for skills. I'm curious how effective this ends up being though. The model does need to know something about the tools (or skills) after all.

Wait so like the constant high pitch squeal/hum is tinnitus? I just thought I was hearing electronics.

It is more challenging, but I feel like it also has fewer people looking for that. That whole "move fast and break things" phrase messed with too many people's heads. I don't think…

It should be making them more useful. They can ask it questions to learn! It's an amazing source of information. Far more convenient than Googling and reading. It's interactive Goo…

It's impossible for them to stop if you list your email on there. They could make it harder of course. But if you put your email out there for a human to find, then a script or bot…

Happens all the time.

Well that makes me feel old. I remember making my first site on Geocities not long after.

You can build plenty with Google ai pro plan and Antigravity. Yea there's some limits that should be even higher, but you can still build stuff.

Meh, that's ok. Not using openclaw anyway. Doesn't sound useful to be frank.

3.0 pro is fantastic. Can't wait for 3.1. and no I'm not solely a user of Gemini, I also love Opus. I just end up using 3.0 pro more.

Exactly. I mean think about the programming languages used in aircraft and such. There's reasons. It all depends on what people are willing to tolerate.

They tier it. So you are limited until you pay more. So you can't just right away get the access you need.

There are. It's like healthcare, the healthy don't use it as much and pay for the sick.

I thought Anthropic would fall after OpenAI, but they just might be racing to the bottom faster here.

Oh no? Things we would never have to specify to a human? This is precisely how software gets made and how software ends up with bugs. It's amazing how many things I saw over the ye…

I mean some might say that's like joining a sinking ship. Of course one man's trash is another man's treasure. To each their own. Hiring in tech has been broken for many many years…

The equipment definitely makes a difference but you're right about diminishing returns. In fact, at a certain point it's zero returns and all gimmick unfortunately. That said, you …
