They have a feature where they open a browser right in the app for Claude to use! They also use browser rendering for displaying various graphical formats. For once an Electron app that can actually justify shipping a whole browser in it.

Without tools LLMs can do nothing more than emit text. You are probably assuming a harness is provided to the LLM with shell access but that is absolutely not necessary for LLM usage depending on the use case. For interesting stuff, you do

They have a UI which is pretty good! That explains why JS , they can run that in Electron and in TUI. I only use the UI now since it is do damn useful with its management of worktrees and multiple sessions, including ones running remotely v

Bob also knows how to quickly check things with a little bash scripting and tests. Can quickly switch branches to confirm regressions and consult documentation if something requires more information. His twin can also quickly scan for all t

Yep! We run security reviews on our pull requests now and are shocked at how it stops a lot of vulnerabilities being shipped. We've had a couple of high score CVEs from the before-LLM times, and when the AI reviews the code that introd

You seem to be in a completely different universe than me. Mac GPU, for consumer products, is absolutely the best when you need LLMs which require a lot of memory and consumes much less power (it's funny that you seem to believe otherw

You just misinterpreted what NSArray is. It’s not an immutable type, it’s a read-only type. As others already mentioned that’s different things. If you have a read-only variable and exclusive access to it, then you can rely on immutability

Interesting how people find reasons even when they make no sense. When did you experience problems with Docker on Mac?? I couldn’t care less it’s not native, it just works. About CUDA, mac has great GPUs , so much so that it’s a fad now to

Wow I knew that stars have that radiation pressure but had no idea it caused mass to get so crazy far away from the ignited area of the star!

They are great but you forgot Anton! He definitely belongs with them in my opinion, he is a wonderful person after all :) Link: https://youtu.be/gUobqtANMfE?si=NVG26d6Aoc2XNEWg

Why doesn’t the stuff just falls in towards the center? It just floats there??

The OS is mostly invisible to me. Except for the desktop manager but both Mac and Linux have options for that, I just don’t even feel the need to change the defaults. If I really need Linux for whatever reason, Docker makes that extremely e

What kind of vendor lock in are you talking about?? I use Mac and Linux and don’t feel at all locked in by Apple.

Why will you never buy a Mac even if they are making the best hardware available? Money or ideology?

I've heard CTOs saying they don't consider buying any product that is not AI agent friendly. Which means they must come with AI skills, MCP Servers and so on that agents can use it to do stuff. You may not like it, but that's

I had a funny moment with ChatGPT. I was talking to it in English and then asked it to speak Swedish with me. It did, but with an English accent. But if you just start a session in Swedish, it speaks Swedish perfectly with local accent ( I

You really need to dare to try something else, Kotlin has been available for many years and the cost for a Java shop is super small since the same tools work with both. I’ve used also Dart which is lots of fun. Even Typescript can be a good

I think you have a biased view. The number of stuff written in Rust in the last couple of years has absolutely exploded. For example, I see a lot of projects now that provide SDKs in Rust but don’t bother with Java. And I say this as someon

I read a paper that says people prefer to talk with AI customer support! Where did you see the opposite being claimed??

You really think China and India are full of people who want to do good for society instead of wishing to get rich at any cost? I think their human rights record and treatment of the less privileged point at a very different direction.

Oh not only to the stdlib but to any lib! I thought that was crazy when you mentioned it but after reading the post I agree it’s a pragmatic approach. By the way Java does the same! The problem can be avoided by avoiding “star imports” in b

Bs. Musicians are almost all using AI, even if they still prefer to not fully generate tracks [1]. You listen to AI assisted music already even if you don’t realize it. Most people are using AI and mostly they respond positively to it [2].

I mostly do this in Dart (though even Dart also has sync IO, it’s just not supposed to be used often), but yeah other languages may not have this benefit.

I actually do enjoy writing code , it’s like a puzzle to be solved and I get a hit every time I solve it. But after we started generating all code with AI at work, I feel very inefficient writing code by hand on my hobby projects. I still d

Got that too... but on JS's defence, I think the JS behavior is the most "natural" unless you've been trained on the other approaches (where explicitly awaiting is required for anything to actually happen). Dart and Kotl
