    This is the way. The practice is: - simple - effective - retains control and quality Certainly the “unsupervised agent” workflows are getting a lot of attention right now, but they…

    This is irrelevant to the point. Using nano banana does not require arcane prompt engineering. People who have not learnt image prompt engineering probably didn't miss anything. Th…

    How can a question that is: 1) clearly technical 2) reproducible 3) has a clear failure condition Not be a suitable candidate for S/O? Did we step into a dimension where only "How …

    If you're not prepared to listen to an expert, and that's what your dentist is on this topic , then nothing I, or anyone else can say, makes any difference to you. At some point, y…

    Because running a parallel process is often difficult. In most cases, the question becomes: So, how exactly is my app/whatever supposed to spin up a parallel process in the OS and …

    There's no distinction to me. AI is hard; edge cases are hard. AI sucks at edge cases. Between AI for cars and AI for software the long tail of edge cases that have to be catered f…
