I don't think random blogs should be ruled out. Just because a blog is random doesn't mean its untrue.

> Comparing agentic Qwen3.6 35b to Claude Opus is like a junior with knowledge across the board, that you really need to guide, versus a senior that thinks with you on architecture…

There's a formula I've bookmarked from someone to help you get better social capital. In order to increase your surface for social capital you need to expand your influence, theref…

I've been setting up Multi-AZ for companies throughout my life. There were a handful of times that us-east-1 went down and I never remember Multi-AZ saving us from those downtimes.…

i've been thinking about this as well. but having built a startup, i've learned that users don't care as long as they are given the value and most convenience. they don't really ca…

my takeaway from this is that it should now be MANDATORY to have an LLM do a scan on the entire codebase prior to release or artifact creation. do NOT use third party plugins for t…

> The problem for me is that the development practices of the people that are working on it are suboptimal at best; they're constantly releasing at an extremely high cadence, where…

one thing it did massively for me was save me time from questions like should i go with X or Y option questions. before i used to just think longer about tradeoffs but with AI it b…

> I simply booted up a VM with an H100, ssh’d into it with Cursor, and prompted the agent to set up an inference server that I could ping from my web generation app. What used to t…

i really think this is part of the pitch deck for bun's funding. that a bigger company would acquire it for the technology. the only reason an AI company or any company for that ma…

> Current AI image models can't understand grid-based pixel art. sounds like a good use case to fix this problem from the model layer. an image gen model that is trained to make pi…

i like how claude code currently does it. it asks permission for every command to be ran before doing so. now having a local model with this behavior will certainly mitigate this b…

a concern i have is that it's only a matter of time before a similar attack is done to electron based apps (which also have packages installed using npm). probably worse because it…

Recently launched an AI cafe ordering app https://www.hellocafe.ai using chat and voice. We wanted to make concept for an app using all local models for chat (llama 3.1 8B) and voi…

we wanted to experiment on how feasible it is to build a cafe ordering system using chat and voice with 100% local models. we were able to build this demo using llama 8B for the ll…

Refreshing that it's built using the vue framework vs the typical react.

> They're getting my $200 a month and it's easily the best money I spend Can you explain? I don't see how $200 makes that much difference than what I get from paying $20/month with…

Came here to say this. What makes a great general purpose language is not only in the programming part but also in transportability. I think Go takes the cake here. If only Elixir …

Such a great quote. Mostly true if viewed especially from a business standpoint. I for one also see code as creative expression, a form of art. I like coding because I can express …

Must be my ignorance but everytime I see explainers for LLMs similar to the post, it’s hard to believe that AGI is upon us. It just doesn’t feel that “intelligent” but again might …

not to hijack this thread but my dad did extensive research in sea breeze and rainfall modeling and he would have loved to see these AI and machine learning advancements in weather…

working on cursor for desktop. why rely on AI agent that’s self-contained when it’s limited, can’t access the browser, can’t open apps or click around. i simply want mine to be abl…

i've worked on many legacy code bases and i think an underrated skill that you need is courage. courage to be able to push changes you think could be breaking changes but always be…
