Oh no, that means someone will port Doom to run on Jira.

Right now, to get some good results from AI and save time, you will have to spend a lot of tokens and money. Maybe in the future, the things will get better, I don't know. Saving money is the wrong reason to use AI now. AI is expensive

I can't point you to a good complete documentation, because the field is changing very fast as people make new discoveries. I learned by reading articles, success stories failure stories and mostly by doing, trying stuff, see how it wo

On the other hand we see success stories such as antirez using agents to work on Redis and Deepseek v4 flash inference.

>It does as well as you care to coax into doing tbh. You have to invest heavily in harness engineering, and at least my experience has been that as you do that, the results improve. That is also my experience. When starting a project I o

To me this sounds like an old cobbler complaining that machines aren't producing good shoes if left unsupervised and that the old process of making shoes completely by hand is far superior. So what he is telling us? That agents are not

Doesn't MS have the compute to run GPT 5.5 for all its employees?

What about BSDs?

I find JSON better for serialization/deserialization. It's a bit tedious to write by hand but who writes JSON by hand?

Sure, this skill is narrower and that might be its advantage, if you don't try to make it solve everything but instead if you evolve it to solve some particular use cases.

I think Deepseek uses much more tokens than other models.

There are lots of more mature plugins doing this: superpowers, get-shit-done, compound engineering, spec kit.

I use cheap Chinese models. For all I care, both OpenAI and Anthropic can raise their prices until they'll have no customers left.

For sure, as they are stochastic parrots. My question should have been: what are the odds a llm would react properly to those instruction, but I got lazy and asked if they "know" it, because I presumed most readers here do know ho

That's a nice problem to have. I can't afford a $48K GPU server, even if I worked as a developer since 25 years ago, because I live in the wrong place.

I was pretty excited to find out that FreeBSD now supports Podman and OCI containers so now I can move some of my web apps from Linux to FreeBSD. :)

Do all llm know they are a LLM? It doesn't depend on the system prompt?

>All of which is to say: things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. I have a 14900KS, a CPU from 2 years ago and is still amongst the strongest in benchmarks like Cinebench. And 128 GB DDR4 RAM. I feel like I can wait a

1. ask Claude to rewrite X in Rust 2. ask Claude to make a website and claim R is better than X because it's Rust 3. advertise on HN, X and Reddit 4. ??? 5. profit!

At this point, why do we, the end users, need Google for? Sure, companies might need Google to display their ads or to use Google Cloud. But end users? GPT, or Claude or Grok do a better job searching.

But I use TDD when coding with AI.

by DeathArrow 5mo ago
It makes sense. In a lower level language most mistakes would break the software hard and the AI will notice it. Python and JS are happy to run with lots of bugs.

xAI might acquire Cursor. They are in the process of training new coding models and probably a new Grok. Until they finish training, it makes sense to rent the excess capacity.
