As I've started a greenfield project lately, and it's been almost entirely LLM driven development, I have concluded that there is no process or step that actually enables them to actually understand a problem. Humans can think abs

I'm gonna phrase this terribly. People said the exact same thing about web searches, and I think there's a lot of devs who would instant search for every issue they hit. Isn't this just better web search? On the other hand, i

I've been trying to switch my home cluster from Debian + K3s to Talos but keep running into issues. What does your persistent storage layer look like on Talos? How have you found it's hardware stability over the long term?

My tech friends and I cannot wait for this agentic bubble to pop. Much like the dotcom bubble, there's absolutely value in AI but the hype is absurd and is actively hurting investments into reasonable things (like just good UX). The hy

Generically, the social security tech arm probably hires 20 somethings that have a way to access that data as well.

How does it compare to komorebi? I've been using it for about 5 months with great success. I'm a Hyprland user when I'm on my personal machine, but for windows Komorebi has let me keep my muscle memory and workflow largely in

This. 100% this. LLMs will spit out responses with zero backing with 100% conviction. People see citations and assume it's correct. We're conditioned for it thanks to....everything ever in history. Rarely do I need to check a wiki

Maybe I'm alone in this, especially on this site. I'm beginning to become disillusioned with these things. We're replacing like 1000s of jobs with a system that will almost certainly do a worse job than before. And the money

I am a fan of open source and being able to tinker etc. But I've never felt the need (advantage?) to do more than just use the bios/efi to boot or configure a few basics. I've been burned by a small SBC that had poor support,

You don't even need gamma for 7: 2 + 2 + 2 + floor(sqrt(2)) Which feels at least more in the spirit of the challenge than gamma.

I got nothing done except thinking about a dozen ways to solve a problem, and a half dozen meetings. If someone looked at my output the span of a week, I'd be fired. Thank god I'm evaluated over a year.

We don't. Rules are all essentially fictional, and an agreed illusion that we've all been conditioned to see as an immutable. What the past few decades did was push enough people to the point of no longer seeing the value in conti

No mention of standard deviation? Just by the fact the IQ is your place on a normal curve, with a 15 point standard deviation, there are at least 100K+ people in the world with an IQ of 160. The smartest 0.0032% of the population.

I am maybe cynical, but I sincerely doubt there's no fraud or corruption in the government spend. Among trillions of dollars of money being spent by people who can easily siphon some off, etc. Intuitively, there _must_ be some corrupti

I think many who are okay with our civil spend may take issue with our military spend. I have rarely encountered anyone who thinks the government isn't overspending. And nobody ever agrees on how we should be spending the money. I real

Two points that are often missed: 1. Perfectly tracking every dollar is more expensive than having some slack in the system. There's an optimal amount, at least from an overall value perspective. 2. We spend too much, and both sides of

We're entering an era where we are being forced to ask fundamental questions about: - what does it mean to be human? - what is he purpose of education? - (for us) what is the true value add of an engineer? As we reach what I would call

This is days old, but edgedb does allow generating a fully typesafe query builder package that is schema aware. At least for typescript, I haven't tried it with other languages yet. Edgedb ends up being an extremely performant ORM if u

Definitely true, probably of almost everything. Rarely the case, and rarely acknowledged, but almost everything is a tool. If everything followed the Unix principle rather than trying to constantly grow and pivot, we would have a lot more s

I'm assuming this runs on your servers, otherwise you'd be bragging about it running locally? Does that mean this will become a future paid service? Edit: I'll add that, if this was local it would be the feature that would ca

Your rebuttals are all agreeing with him... I don't think you're grasping the nuance he's putting out there. Instead you're choosing to be overly pedantic over the word essential.
