Thanks for asking, but not yet.

> but I think a substantial percentage of this drop can be attributable to the hype of the EV not living up to the reality of owning an EV. If this were true, the market for EVs would decline in entirety. But it doesn't, or at lea

I recently found a vibe-coded app that generates courses on the fly from YouTube, including automatically generated quizzes. I forgot the URL, but the result was beyond awful. Questions were something like: "what was the title of the y

They could secretly make Siri slightly better in intervals. People have a low opinion of Siri anyways. No way they compare Siri to Gemini. For them, Siri might just stop sucking completely at some point and then the comparison is between th

I just started on an old-school forum software. Go + Sqlite. Good old server-side HTML templating. Why? I don’t like Discourse and Flarum that much. I want an even simpler solution with fewer bells and whistles. But I guess the market is de

Nintendo and Lego are on the same level when it comes to sue people for trademark violations. There are several cease-and-desist orders against YouTubers for calling no-name bricks legos .

lol I'm from Germany and most people I know use WhatsApp, especially for groups, events, activities. Almost nobody uses Signal and even less use Threema. The place after WhatsApp is Telegram.

If there is no free will, thoughts about free will are predetermined and so is punishment. The punishers don’t have agency either. You seem to say that punishers do have free will, but criminals don’t?

That was it, thanks!

Maybe it's a subtle way to punish non-native apps that recreate UI elements, but do not use SwiftUI. The user gets used to the native way of UI elements and everything else will look odd after a while, forcing developers to ditch eve

I looked for April 1st as a date. Next thought: the "news" is about an LLM writing these articles and messed something up. But thanks for clarifying!

And then the rest of the world got tired of Apple not proposing this supposedly superior piece of engineering as a new standard... because of licensing shenanigans.

It’s the other way around: a few decades ago people retired only a few years earlier, had 5-10 years of retirement and then died. Now people live way longer, but the retirement age never got adjusted properly to the new reality. So 15-20 ye

To piggyback on this discussion, what do you all think about option 3: Work for companies (as a consultant?) to help them implement LLMs/AI into their traditional processes?

by WA 1y ago
So what's the result? I don't have a local LLM. Are the "dot papers" insane or the "thinking in actual reasoning tokens" insane?
227.
by WA 1y ago
I'll give it a try, thanks. Edit: Do you use reasoning models that introduce way more tokens into the context at all or prefer simpler models?

by WA 1y ago
I played around with your suggestion for a day or two now. While I'm intrigued, there are some real-world issues with this approach: - The same spec is processed by the same LLM differently when implementing from scratch. This can mayb

Thanks for posting. I’ve had this vividly in my mind for years, but didn’t remember the source. Makes so much sense.

VB got me into programming as a teen in the 90s. I even managed to create several small games without having much of a clue. Good times.

The worst thing about YouTube in 2025 is auto-translation. Whoever is behind this doesn’t seem to understand that many people outside the US actually understand two languages rather well. In my case: German and English. I don’t want either

Really good game. I liked that you can't guess your way to success, but must solve it logically. I found the terminology ok after reading it.

Ironically, 3 billion is proof that these tools do not work as expected and won’t replace coders in the near future. Otherwise, why spend 3 billion if you could have it cooked up by an AI coding agent for (almost) free?

Yes but "hundreds" is the selector that applies for all three of my examples, whereas "thousands" merely applies to two ;)

Ah come on. While you have a point, it’s been bread and games, public executions, and sad classical music in D minor for hundreds of years.

You can do this in Cursor already. Write a README or a SPEC file and the LLM will try to "complete your thoughts", except that it's off often enough. I find this hugely distracting, as if someone always interrupts your train

Reasoning != coming up with something novel.

If you stopped using agent mode, why use Cursor at all and not a simple plugin for VSCode? Or is there something else that Cursor can do, but a VSCode plugin can't?

I think the parent poster has a point. It's a good idea to pause for a moment and think about this critically: Why would Putin attack the EU? Just because he can? What's the gain? > destabilisation operations This might actuall
