What do you reckon would work well for Aus?

I'm Australian and am increasingly ok with this approach. I'm growing slowly out of a protectionist mindset, toward one of cautious, and considered collaboration. Singapore follows this approach and it has worked well for them so

This is awesome. It's sad that examples like this are few and far between.

I reckon there's a limit to how long this abstraction can go on before not understanding underlying mechanisms will seriously hamstring you.

I very much agree! It feels like it's going to be exceptionally challenging in the coming years to convince non-technical people of the value of true SWE; by that I mean, SWE is not just coding, it's everything around that too.

I've also been loving the speed Claude has enabled me to move at, and now agree that the coding part of SWE has become LLM-wrangling instead. I now see interacting with an LLM, to build all parts of software, as the new "frontend&

I like the analogy and will ponder it more. But it didn't take long before the article started spruiking Kasava's amazing solution to the problem they just presented.

Yes, but whether they admit it or not, as humans subjectivity, whether informed by culture, opinion, experience, etc, creeps in. There's also variation in how a judge applies objective assessment to law; my interpretation of law may be

"Outperforms" ... how can performance be judged when it doesn't make sense to reduce the underlying "reasoning" to a well-known system? The law isn't black and white and is informed by so many things, one of wh

I reckon this opinion is more prevalent than the hyped blog posts and news stories suggest; I've been asking this exact question of colleagues and most share the sentiment, myself included, albeit not as pessimistic. Most people I&#x27

This is a really cynical take. People work differently and get value from different things. It’s probably safe to assume most aren’t virtue signalling about writing.

by bGl2YW5j 1y ago
Great point about the conflation. This makes me realise: for me, writing code is often a big part of thinking through the problem. So it’s no wonder that I’ve found LLMs to be least effective when I cede control before having written a lit

I like Nord Dark because it uses only 3 colours. It’s available as an extension.

I’m working with doctors at the moment in a similar area. eGFR is well-known to decline at approx 1 point per year after age 30. You’re fine. Here’s just one source: “After the age of 30 years, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) progressively

If the model was able to generalise, you’d expect it to output something like “[silence]” or “…”, in response to silence. Instead, it reverted to what it has seen before (in the training data), hence the overfit.

I use Jetbrains AI assistant for its great integration with the editor and the codebase, and have been experimenting with Claude Code too. Jetbrains Assistant still has better editor integration for things like reviewing generated diffs and

Until an LLM or some new form of AI can manage an entire architecture itself, I say we need a middle ground. Something will always go wrong, and understanding of the system is necessary to troubleshoot.

I think the feeling to keep up is simply fear of being left behind. Fear is the same thing driving people to become defensive when others dismiss the idea of needing to keep up, because that undermines their core belief that the new “AI ski

Came to comment on the same quote. I'm surprised, but know I shouldn't be, that we're at this point already.

These concepts have been copied directly from Notion. I’ve found Anytype to be more streamlined. I’m highly familiar with Notion though, so adapted easily.

by bGl2YW5j 1y ago
Yes! I’ve been thinking along similar lines: agents and LLMs are exposing the worst parts of the ergonomics of our current interfaces and tools (eg programming languages, frameworks). I reckon there’s a lot to be said for fixing or tweaking

Also feeling let down by it. Have been using it to build a DSL in JS. Greenfield. I’ve followed the commonly touted “plan, act, evaluate” approach; I’ve got it to generate a clear project vision, scope, and feature checklist. Then told it t

You should challenge this idea in your internal monologue. Learn a bit more about technology and how it's made. "Fast" in most cases most definitely does not equal cheap, especially over the long term.

"Shrink-and-grow technique for efficiently packing n-dimensional spheres" isn't obtuse enough. I think something like "Hypertopological Constriction-Expansion Dynamics in Quasistatic R^n-Ball Conglomeration" would b

I hated maths as a kid, now I love this stuff; pure maths for its own sake. Super impressive! It's a dream of mine to discover anything useful in the field.

I don’t think the problem is “how to optimise tool selection for the LLM”. I think the real problem is using an LLM to do tool selection at all. This is control flow and I believe should be handled with hardcoded rules and/separation o

Creative. You’ve given me some ideas. Thanks!

I’m interested if anyone here knows what exactly Cursor has built? My limited understanding is that they’ve done nothing but fork VS code and add a chat window and AI-integrated editing tools.

What a coincidence! I’m also in Australia and have just finished a self-imposed 8 month holiday from the tech world BS you describe. I started the holiday super jaded with the idea of working in tech forever. I spent my time on everything b

To you maybe. People get satisfaction and purpose from different things. Unbounded curiosity can often drive tangible outcomes too. You might even have that curiosity to thank for methods and tools you use in your own persuits!
