I like using grill me in conjunction with obra superpowers spec driven development https://www.aihero.dev/skills-grill-me https://github.com/obra/superpowers When I'm doing something quite complex

I think the concept of arbitrary is arbitrary because the one searching can always claim cause for xyz reason thanks to the Patriot act and other laws.

Did you comment on the wrong article? Or is there a metaphor that is too deep for me?

As an aside, sometimes just because we _can_ do X in Y doesn't necessarily mean it's always the best solution. One example that comes to mind is people doing really cool things like Doom in CSS ( https://github.com/

Isn't this exactly the kind of systems design questions they ask during interviews??? Makes me wonder how many folks at GH and MSFT could even pass their own interviews. Thanks for sharing though. I learn more about systems design from

Not sure if you intended to sound like Claude. If so, well played :)

Because this is a thread about other people's usage of AI, so how I/you personally use it is irrelevant because we still have to deal with everyone else pasting AI, in which case it is generally long and wordy.

It makes me wonder what people did before WFH was prevalent!

I used to live 15 min walk, 5 min bike ride from an office i was required to go to twice a month. It was a nice commute. Then I moved and now its a 30 min drive. Not a nice commute.

> big SaaS might win here because they have the reputation. Big SAAS is doing the same thing at scale. One would hope they put a bit more diligence in it but we know that's not the case.

It depends on company policies but even so this is a boon for personal computing.

Its kinda strange to have to insure yourself against an airline, when generally we insure ourselves against acts of nature and accidents and thieves.

Recently handled someone's phone who had it. Neat technology. But the use case for it doesn't make sense, for the reason you specified. The only thing I could think of is if you want to browse TikTok or Instagram in public and don

I once ran into a signup/login flow that allowed 36 characters in password when signing up but when logging in, the password field was limited to 20 characters. I think I must have changed my password several times thinking I just copi

Right, but that's what makes me doubt this statement in the comment I was replying to > The probability that SynthID changes the best choice to a worse one is equal to the probability that it changes a worse choice to the best one.

I feel like the chain kinda goes all the way to the top, to the level of shareholders. My boss needs to give his boss the perception that the engineering team is firing on all cylinders and has high velocity, so that he can sell that story

It'd be taking a cup of piss out of the ocean of piss i think!

I found this as well, but I found it usually refers to a scratch file it made and purposely did not commit (either by my decision or its). Not that this makes it better, but at least it makes the AI world make a bit more sense to me

I think that depends on the distribution of good choices and bad ones. There may be 10 choices and maybe 8 of them could be appropriate given a context, and 2 are absolutely nonsensical. Or it could be vice versa. And its a spectrum as well

Yeah same! This is why foreign languages are simultaneously easy and hard for me. I can memorize patterns and concepts easily but when it comes to arbitrary rules and vocabulary, I need flash cards for that. I end up needing to make up my o

How is the Reddit mobile site worse than this obvious satirical site? I ended up using ublock to zap the annoying Reddit thing because it was annoying to keep going to old.reddit when people sent me links.

I agree, and I dont know much about the channels you mention but im referring more to the short videos with fast cuts that are just designed to keep you watching instead of teaching you anything. Its like the overly processed vegetables you

These days online courses like Brilliant and such are likely largely LLM generated. Are they actually vetted by experts before publication? Who knows. My money is on no, or at least, not until someone complains. Its easy enough to prompt Ch

Its telling that instead of showcasing the quality of their strings, they used an LLM to generate the sounds their strings should make. Shows how much trust they have in their own product.

I think there's a balance between high paying and intrinsically rewarding. You dont always need to work a soul crushing job in order to make a lot of money. And I think you're kinda burying the lede on "earning maximally&quot
