Once you’re down a logical branch, there’s no coming back to the main branch. It’s hacks all the way down from there to do things that are extremely simple in a normal programming language.

Zapier has fundamental issues in control flow and exception handling in my experience. Custom apps aside, how do Zapier and n8n compare in your experience?

They are saying that and yet on one of the last earnings calls the VP of Sales admitted that they are shifting the weight of their sales force from peddling Copilot to traditional money-makers like migrations or updates. This could merely s

I like people like that too, but surely the world and more narrowly the human experience also benefit from having people that are competitive or even disagreeable?

Likely around the 1920's or 1930's... Bro, not only is a crater discovery in those decades unlikely, the date certainly wouldn't have gone unnoted.

I've also settled on a copy-paste LLM workflow. I can see the usefulness of agents however for (a) some tedious refactorings where the IDE features might not reach and (b) occasionally writing a first pass of a low-value module when I

I only have the 4o option for completions. Like, I see the option in the settings but the dropdown only produces 4o for me. I seem to remember that in github.com I have all the models exposed, but in PyCharm I only get that for autocomplete

I wouldn't qualify the suggestions I'm getting as boneheaded, but rather disastrous. I have completions turned off by default because they're so stupid it's unbearable. But then maybe a few times a month I'm low on

I work in Enterprise IT, I'm the CTO of a small business. People executing small scripts all over the place sounds to me like the stuff of nightmares. Especially locally, but even if it's run online in a safer environment, as long

I don't use Cursor (I'm on Jetbrains) but from what I read it must be the autocomplete. Github Copilot is literally unusable. I've tried it many times in the last month and everything it suggests is stupid and utterly wrong.

I am only on OpenAI because they have a native Mac app. Call me old-school but my preferred workflow is still for the most part just asking narrow questions and copying-pasting back and forth. I've been playing with Junie (Jetbrain&#x2

Can you blame the users for asking it, when everyone is selling that as a key defining feature? I use it for asking - often very niche - questions on advanced probability and simulation modeling, and it often gets those right - why those a

The question is simple and verifiable - it is impressive to me that it’s not contained in the LLM’s body of knowledge - or rather that it can’t reach the answer. This is niche in the grand scheme of knowledge but Paul Newman is easily one o

My mom told me yesterday that Paul Newman had massive problems with alcohol. I was somewhat skeptical, so this morning I asked ChatGPT a very simple question: "Is Paul Newman known for having had problems with alcohol?" All of the

Yea I'm lost there. If we took n bodies of text x_1 ... x_n, and k different summaries each y_1i ...y_kn , there are many statistical and computational treatments with which you would be able to find extremely strong correlations betwe

Not OP but did you edit the code via prompts, or was the whole thing a one-shot? That particular aspect is very confusing to me, I think you should clarify it.

I have it installed on Arc and it still works, I guess that's expected but it will degrade soon? I love Arc but I'd better not see an ad or that will be reason to jump ship. I pay for quite a few web services I like (eg, Youtube)

I wouldn't use anything like this to build it a user-facing app, but how does it compare to something like Django admin?

Cloud will continue to evolve massively with AI, as vendors offer more specialized infra and software abstractions, but the salient point is that in Europe we haven't even been able to build the first 10% of what providers like Amazon,
