By people who never built anything except bureaucracies?

I absolutely hate those bureaucrats, people who never built anything and just want to control, review, and develop their cottage industries of well paid lawyers one needs to retain to operate in the market. Same as with GDPR - absolutely no

Hm? Should we ban volunteers? Doing unpaid work is sort of their thing.

Yeah, crucially, a lot of such projects never get greenlit. Claude building stuff means a lot of things that everybody wanted to do, just couldn't allocate the attention or other resources - now get built.

Its more nuanced than that. Even companies that do not track, and use only essential cookies, ask for consent, as the consensus among compliance teams and external lawyers is "its safer this way". Thats the reality which the regul

True. I'd be very annoyed if I had anything mission critical on github. While we have everything in the cloud, we do actually self-host that part.

Boomer here as well, but I'd add that trusting your own org for critical infra usually also ends in tears. Most everything in IT involves failure, including in well designed systems designed by great engineers. I worked for a few yea

The same absolute morons who gave us cookie consent strike again. I swear, one of those days I will get into politics just to fight those two things, and the cottage industry of batshit crazy lawyers that gave birth to those things.

There is definitely a case for launching a 'weird shit opus did' kind of blog. I routinely bump into things that make me pause and think how much worse will this behaviour get when the models get significantly more capable. Alread

For us, it would be for SRE stuff. We have agents reviewing traces and logs, and inspecting system behavior daily - for non obvious problems, not surfacing in metrics. When we hit an issue, we use the /fast mode to triage, propose a fi

One thing I've deliberately deferred is drawing conclusions from all of this.

I am settling on a way of working where during the day I spent the time iterating requirements, designs and low level implementation plans for, say, a dozen features, and then I park them for an unattended build during the night. It works w

On large codebases, literally anything I throw at Fable or Opus takes at least 20 minutes, 10 of those minutes is spent on running test suites. With this way of working, I put way more emphasis on test coverage, integration tests, behaviora

Good news for Intel and AMD. Rught now on large scale codebases the bottleneck is both claude/codex inference, as well as time it takes to run tens of thousands of tests. We put those workloads on dedicated epyc 9005 build machines - b

Polish living standard in major metro areas are significantly above Belgian standards. I lived in Poland and Belgium, among a few other places, and I'd choose Poland over Belgium for a number of reasons. Its a great country, good infra

Yup. Where I work we invited a bunch of people circa May 2023: a few top tier academics, a few government and NGO officials in charge of our industry, and a few startup founders. We are a big company, so people were kind enough to come and

Its a cool demo, but its gpt-3.5 level stupid, or worse. edit: Ok, I will self-apologize. Its apparently a 3B model. Mighty impressive for what it does.

by aenis 2mo ago
I suspect it must depend on how one manages their codebase - wrt to docs, ADRs, and general guardrails. For me it is not great for design work - Fable is way better, and 4.8 was conservative and thus better (Opus 5 seems to jump to conclusi

I managed to lose around $300 in credits I had saved for some emergency /fast sessions the following way: switch to Fable. Work on the design. Downgrade to Opus for the build. If any of other parallel Opus session has /fast enab

I do the same, and generally have good results, but it does stupid things with gusto. I'd open a blog with "weird things Opus did". Today it launched a swarm of cpu-hogging processes to test if the widget showing machine and

Use google pre-ga stuff at your own risk. Fine for POCs and cool demos, absolute misery in scaled prod.

Yeah, I think thats a valid edge case - and a manageable one. If you are expecting a call from a doctor, lift the firewall for a while.

I never responded to an unknown or caller id hidden in 20 years. I am just fine, dont think I lost anything of value. I also asked my parents and inlaws to adopt the same approach. Never pick up, never read any texts from unknown numbers. T

I dont think so. The LLMs are trained to play it safe and avoid responsibility for hard decisions. No commercial model will say "No, I wont connect your call, I dont think you are bleeding to death at this moment, I believe you are a s

If you are a decision maker, you might find your personal stuff subject to a subpoena for any number of reasons. Antitrust, insider trading, harassment suits, all sorts of legal fishing expeditions. Its convenient to be able to just give th
