Unless one of them forgets to have a steering wheel, or shifts to reverse when put in neutral. LLMs still make major mistakes, comparing them to sports cars is a bit much.

It has the last ~6 months worth of flavor of the month Javascript libraries in it's training set now, so it's "better at coding". How is this sustainable.

The most interesting thing about this project to me is that it appears to alleviate some of the warts of working with SqlAlchemy. Pretty much every time I start a project that needs a DB I just use Django. SqlAlchemy and Alembic are usually

I try to buy one item an hour at a cafe, coffee or food. Sometimes that means too much caffeine. But I’ve not received any annoyed looks, at least that I’m aware of.

You asked who’s making these silly claims, I provided one example of YC partners doing it. Not sure who got triggered or what advertising you are talking about, but there you go.

LLMs do not work the same way calculators do, not even close.

There was a YC video just a few months ago where a bunch of jergoffs sat in a circle and talked about engineers being 10 to 100x as effective as before. Im sure google will bring it up.

If the 10x thing was true we’d all be on iOS 24 and the typescript Go rewrite would have been done months ago. But of course that’s ridiculous.

No shade on Go but you kinda just said that the language has always looked like AI generated code and this works in its favor now because you don’t actually have to write it anymore. Funny, but not sure I’d consider that in Go’s favor.

Okay but if everyone building the websites are using the browser with 0.3% market share it won't matter.

Hey all I’m an independent security researcher and I found that you are paying for an app that is shoddily built and doesn’t respect your privacy or security so I decided to give you all a refund. Have a nice day!

"Because I can" or "Because it's funny" are more than enough reason for most people. The fact that the hacker refunded all the customers, then emailed them to warn them that they were using a terrible app actually s

I would not default to assuming it was his competitors, that sounds like scapegoating to deflect responsibility. What most likely happened is his site was scanned by one of the increasingly sophisticated exploit crawlers (anyone who runs an

Okay, I could get behind that definition if you could tell me what you call code that aligns perfectly with the "strategic future of the organization" but nobody at said company understands or can work on?

I'm sorry, but how is all code legacy code? Have you never written or worked on a project for which you got such a deep understanding that you could track down the likely source of a bug in your head before even fully reading the issue

by WD-42 1y ago
This definition doesn't make any sense to me. If code at an org is working, and there are people or at least a person at that company that understands it, how is it legacy? Just because it's been around for a while? At what age ac

Did Phil Opp's series for fun recently, it's a great intro to OS development. I can also recommend "OS in 1k lines" as a follow-up that targets RISC-V instead of X86. It really demonstrates how large a difference a moder

Well I hope you didn’t trust this particular private app!

That’s how I see it. There’s so much negativity surrounding this entire app - best to avoid interacting with it in any way on either side.

You use judgement. I’d upload my id to a passport renewal site provided by the govt. Some private app for rating other human beings? Nope.

Same. Never again diesel. The type system just turns it into madness. Sqlx is a much more natural fit.

Yea, the use case is not wanting to be signed up for another stupid “newsletter” I never asked for that’s full of crap I don’t want.

Try running one locally and observe as the temperature in your office rises a few degrees and the lights dim with every prompt. I didn’t really get the pricing myself until I got a desktop to do local inference. There’s a reason why these c

I have a think pad I use this way. Super light, battery lasts forever but it’s super low powered. However, I use Tailscale to connect to my beefy desktop at home with ssh/tmux and Zed remote editing. It’s perfect.

It’s not designed to work well, it’s designed to serve ads.
