Considering the decade of poor results from doing anything other than music, weather and alarms I think we've all learned to avoid using them for anything else.

Honestly, we're at a point where AI can write better software than some devs and answer medical questions with more knowledge than some doctors. Likewise, AI is oblivious to it's own mistakes, much like said professionals can be a

Even for work questions about sensitive IP/code Qwen3.6-35B-A3B is a great option on macOS (35t/s) when you don't want info leaving your laptop. I'm using it with oMLX.

I would love to have a more detailed write up on development while mobile. Seems like an ideal way to pass the time vs doom scrolling when on the go. Just how many lunch lines does it take to program a GB game?

I've never liked token buckets (vs sliding window counters) due to the extra work CPU cycles required to "fill" them. It seems like doing an atomic incr on a key based on a `time % 1 minute` or something would be more efficie

I would rather my kid was in a group of 10 students than 30. I remember very little time actually left for a teacher to help an individual child with all the kids to manage. Most people are scared to watch three kids at a time. I'll ta

Well said, this seems like a very appropriate comparison. GenAI thinks like the human mind in the same way that cars run like the human body. Similar utility in drastically different ways.

They are still there either way. They don't suddenly become smarter and/or hard working because we pretend. If anything, it simply increases the pool of people who realize you don't need to try.

Nice! Tracking connection reuse is really important if you are running any kind of benchmarks or comparisons both as the author of a new tool / service and as the person evaluating different options or client libraries. I've hit a

Thank you for sharing, if you don't mind can you share some Go+SQLite leanings as someone actually pulling this off? 1) How do you do backups? Do you use github.com/benbjohnson/litestream? CRON job backup with rsync? 2) Any i

So is https://github.com/obeli-sk/obelisk the Rust version of https://github.com/temporalio/temporal (Go)? Can you guys add a comparison between them on the site?

I'm really happy to see a lot of new software come out in Rust, Go, or Zig. The value and ease of development that slow interpreted languages used to offer is disappearing. New languages have all the nice things built in, or rather, ou

Ah, but it's cheaper. Replace "AI" with "auto parts" or "store food" and you see the same thing. Replace "AI" with "police force" or "contractors" and it's the same thing

It's not religion, it's litigation and money. 1) non-consensual or illegal (CP) content could come with expensive lawsuits. 2) Adult content has higher abuse (charge-backs, fraud, etc..).

Is it better to have an M4-M5 Pro with 32GB of ram or an M1-M2 Max with 64GB of ram? They seem about the same price. It seems like cache layers like https://omlx.ai make more RAM better than more GPU cores or faster CPUs cores,

I agree, earlier Sonnet wasn't that great, but Sonnet 3.5 is where things really came together. The difference was night-and-day. Sonnet 3.7, 4.0, 4.5, etc... didn't have as drastic of a change to me.

AI does the work during the day and we learn while sleeping. Society doesn't collapse from ignorance. We have a new movie plot gentlemen.

I've been in at least a dozen class action suites and the payouts are measured in cents. I'm glad someone got something more, but that's not common.

As an aside, class-action lawsuits seem less than ideal for the public. The awards benefit the lawyers and perhaps a small handful, but the actual plaintiffs only get $0.05. In addition, successful class-action suits prevent further litigat

Instead, the reply/rebuttal almost always comes from a new person. It makes nice reading when you have 6 people in an argument keeping each other honest vs 2.

It doesn't stop, it's just where we are in this rolling window of time. 16GB of RAM (currently) works for 90% of professions daily needs.

I'm glad the air now comes standard with 16GB of RAM and 512GB disk space. It's not that the M1 with 8/256GB was slow at all, but even browsing the web gets into 12GB of usage and exhausting the 256GB is fairly easy if you ba

Sorry, but it's honestly just a lot of our journeys. Started on scripting languages like PHP/Ruby/Lua (self-taught) or Java/VB/C#/Python (collage) and then slowly expanded to other languages as we realized we w

I hear you, advanced generics (for complex unions and such) with TypeScript and Rust are honestly unreadable. It's code you spend a day getting right and then no one touches it. I'm just glad modern languages stopped throwing and

This is why I jumped from PHP to Go, then why I jumped from Go to Rust. Go is the most battery-included language I've ever used. Instant compile times means I can run tests bound to ctrl/cmd+s every time I save the file. It's

Thank you for sharing, I would like to see a navigation/menu component added though as that's required for most websites.

You're just a citizen. Why would any of the three-letter agencies work on what you need?
