Personally I'm excited about these sorts of experiments. We all learn in different ways, and these sorts of techniques allow us to create "on-demand" syllabuses and lessons that fi…

It might feel interesting, but it's sort of the crux of the issue. Average or below average prompts will produce average below-average results. The model can't make up for that. No…

It's a good write up, but it's lacking some details, the most important one is: which Claude model was used? The second issue is: what was tooling and the prompt approach? (To be c…

I ran a fairly large experiment last week, and the token usage wasn't bad at all. What softs of use cases are you seeing large token usage by GLM 5.2?

I've been using GLM 5.2 extensively for the last few days. It is slower, and the lack of multimodality is a bummer. But, it produces solid results for a fraction of the price. Wort…

Nice! What are some hardware platforms that leverage these models?

This looks really interesting... I think I grok the basic value prop. However, I'm confused on the open source vs. commercial offerings. How do they differ? How do they work togeth…

This is great advice, and I appreciate the opening sentence to frame it as a "yes, and" sort of situation. We took our teenagers to London and Paris last year (we're from the upper…

Oh thank you, I came here to make that joke. Great show.

I'm not sure, but it might be recursive: above-average managers can tell the difference, and so we won't need as many below-average managers. But this requires above-average leader…

> You know, I hate that this is a world where I have to ask myself if this is LLM written because it is one of those patterns. Lol, nope, I just sound that way. :-)

> then what can we expect from AI steered by the sort of humans that produced poor quality code. Great point, and I think that's my argument: above-average engineers can now produc…

> The code they [LLMs] produce is often fine. It works. It passes tests. It might ship as-is. I don't disagree, but I've been thinking about this a bit: a lot of _human_ written co…

I totally agree: This feels like Claude Code created it. It's the new, AI version of "It was clearly built with Bootstrap" As a cheese lover, I don't care too much. :-)

My first computer was a 486sx 25Mhz [1] The rig (tower, monitor, etc.) cost around $3,000. We got the SX instead of the DX because it was $500 cheaper. And I wanted a 16bit sound c…

Oh, man, does that bring back the memories! Thanks for sharing. :-)

This. My daughter is a high-school junior, and she's been asking for a laptop going into her senior year/college. This is exactly who Apple is going after.

That it has no fans or the fans are annoying?

I like the creativity, but I'm not sure it's needed. I've been building a large-scale database system using Opus 4.5, and targeting Rust. It's not perfect, but the Rust compiler is…

This is pretty close. I once spent 4 hours in college (circa 1997) looking for an error in a C++ program. The compiler's error messages were rubbish. It ended up being a missing se…

That's a good analogy. To clarify my question: Based on my experience (I'm a VP for a software department), LLMs can be useful to help a team build a theory. It isn't, in and of it…
