I mean as has already been pointed out the fact that its a clone is a big reason why, but then I also think I could probably churn out a simple clone of reddit in less than a week. We've been through this before with twitter, the value

On the face of it, this or at least acting as a code reviewer from an experienced point of view seems like the solution, the problem is that we all naturally get lazy and complacent. I actually think AI was at its best for coding a year or

I get its necessary for investment, but I'd be a lot happier with these tools if we didn't keep making these wild claims, because I'm certainly not seeing 10x the output. When I ask for examples, 90% its claude code (not a be

"The muse visits during the act of creation, not before. Start alone." That has actually been a major problem for me in the past where my core idea is too simple, and I don't give "the muse" enough time to visit bec

> No more AI thought pieces until you tell us what you build! Absolutely agree with this, the ratio of talk to output is insane, especially when the talk is all about how much better output is. So far the only example I've seen is C

Can't believe someone setup some kind of AI religion with zero nods to the Mechanicus (Warhammer). We really chose "The Heartbeat is Prayer" over servo skulls, sacred incense and machine spirits. I guess AI is heresy there so

I'd say the fact that you know theres some photoshop jobs you can't detect is proof enough that we're surviving it. It's not necessarily that we can identify it with 100% accuracy, but that we consider it a possibility w

In the default shell? I've definitely started new django projects since 2023 and I seem to remember always having to use shell_plus for that, though maybe thats just become something I automatically add without thinking Edit: Yep, you&

I'll add one; Add shell_plus. It makes the django shell so much nicer to use, especially on larger projects (mostly because it auto-imports all your models). IIRC, it involves adding ipython and django_extensions as a dependency, and t

To me it seems like it'd only get more visible as it gets more normal, or at least more predictable. Remember back in the early 2000's when people would photoshop one animals head onto another and trick people into thinking "

The argument I usually hear is that you only truly get the 10x improvements with <new-model> (right now, Opus 4.5), so they've only had a few months, not years. In a few months, it'll turn out that <new-model> wasn&#x2

This is where you get to this weird juxtaposition of "AI can now replace humans" existing simultaneously with "Its unfair to compare human work to AI work". Like if a human said they started a farm, but it turns out some

This is obviously far more advanced, but I still think its a shame that the old style thinkpad dock didn't catch on more. For those who arent aware, the docks on old thinkpads used to double as a stand (and a lock too actually), origin

To be fair actually £6 a pint does sound more like it, I think I'm getting confused with rounds (so I most often spend £10-£12, but I'm buying two pints)

Thats assuming a near 100% success rate from the agent, meaning it's not something he needs to supervise at all. It also assumes that the agent is able to take on the task completely, meaning he can go do something else which would nor

So could the company hiring you to do that work fire you and just use Opus instead? If no, then you cannot compare an engineers salary to what Opus costs, because the engineer is needed anyway. > And API costs at all major providers repr
