They kind of are fungible, up to a certain level of task. And much like most software developers don't need to exercise deep comp sci skills, most sw engineering doesn't have tasks that require the best models.

Both of these things can be true. It's a really good idea that immediately led me to another idea to play with. But it hallucinates so its accuracy can't be trusted.

The most helpful instructions I've found that curb this: "Do not use superlatives. Do not use persuasive writing style." I have other more specific ones to avoid talking about things that it's not doing, but those two se

That's a pattern I often follow - refer it to the docs, don't include them. Usually it's another markdown, but sometimes it can be the output of something else. This avoids including any of that in context before it's a

Using llama.cpp I one-shotted (2 hours) a reasonable asteroids clone on my strix halo/128 using the 1 bit quant, using my custom harness (which isn't anything exceptional). It was tedious - a lot of second guessing itself, and qua

The changes seem based on age, which just makes it more imperative that phone manufacturers perform even /more/ reliable age verification... The business model, incentives, and practices that led them down this road? No, those do

But this has been building for years ahead of COVID. COVID just gave people something to latch on to. And in spite of COVID vaccine issues, the latest numbers i saw suggest around 80% of people still support standard childhood vaccinations

Ironically in context of this discussion, when I search Google for "AI Ouroboros" your result is quite far down the list. Higher up are several ’24 and early '25 posts, many of them slop.

This type of content I use this for is not necessarily directory-specific - git operations as a simple example. I have workflows that are only relevant in specific situatoins, but they apply to the whole repository. This is effective only i

Aren't subdirectory specific Claude files layered in on top? Seems like more required content when the direction I'm suggesting is more like lazy-loading.

That doesn't really make sense. Assuming the effort is the same, how does laziness enter into it? There are myriad reasons someone might use stationary exercise machines over going outside - weather, bad neighbors, etc. Lazy doesn&#x2

At my current job I just asked a coworker in chat if the reply was his or LLM. He quickly owned up and the incidence of brokered LLM messages in chat dropped signficantly. Unfortunately people are being encouraged to use LLM in docs, emai
