I used to be a "cutting edge phone guy" where I'd get the latest iPhone ever year and the thought of having the older phone just didn't sit well with me. These days though the upgrades are so marginal I don't even c

I think this point gets lost on people. A frequent argument I see in favor of vibecoding is: “well there’s also bad engineers”. In other words, bad code is already being written, so who cares if the LLM is wrong sometimes? The issue is that

I gave Delphi a shot, but after setting up my account I got a few phone calls a few days later about it to sell me on it. I was genuinely surprised companies still did that in 2024/2025.

So the author didn’t claim it was? It’s just assumed?

It looks impressive. However open worlds are at their best with hand placed details and environmental storytelling. Look at Skyrim/Cyberpunk vs. Starfield where most of the world is proc gen’d. I get that you run this, and then edit it

This looks cool! Are there screenshots available?

Correct, but Claude literally pulls it from your account info, without you telling it. I know this because I've seen it say "your account email is <email>" and I use a unique email per account and guess what, it was my

A FOSS harness wouldn't have your email in the first place.

It's an awful report. Historically though I've encountered this, even to the point where it put my full name into something without me asking it to. It was documentation, and I caught it but I wouldn't have been happy about i

I've 100% seen it do this. I've even seen Claude say "because your account email is <email>, I've included it in the <whatever it was doing>". It should ask before divulging information like that, IMO.

I’m tired of these AI written articles man. There could be information worth sharing here but having it all generated makes me assume you don’t care. So neither do I.

I’ve been talking about this a lot on here. It’s because the product isn’t the audio file going into your ears. It’s the process that got it into that audio file. It’s knowing someone was passionate enough to put something together for ot

The first part kind of had me going “oh wow, this doesn’t seem like a thinly veiled advertisement for once”. You know, the common thing we see from frontier labs. Then I got to the examples. > my agent plans personalized recipes for us t

I’ve written a skill that I basically feed what I’m looking to do, some ideas I had for accomplishing it and any other details like tech stack, etc. The skill then riffs with me, judging my ideas and suggesting alternatives. We go back and

I can only speak for myself, so I hope this resonates with you. I wasn’t even really concerned with optimizing low level code before LLMs and that wasn’t why I was hired either. However following that low level thread: We can look at the re

I see this comparison a lot, but I’m not sure I agree. At least not semantically. The list of what an engineer using agents is responsible for, largely hasn’t changed. Engineering managers haven’t changed responsibilities either. Even with

I feel the same about AI with art. Even when it looks “as good”, it just doesn’t interest me. For example, intentionality of someone writing a specific sentence, or composing an image a certain way to me is intriguing. If someone makes an a

Someone less cynical might recognize that people use RAM in a home machine for more than just gaming. Also hobbies are just as important to the human condition as technical advancement.

Ghostty has what I’d consider to be a reasonable policy. You submit what you want to change and how, explain it in your own words. A trusted member can vouch for you. You can then make a PR, but you need to explain the solution and how it w

I’m just going off the reasons they gave. Which highlight both copyright and quality. Both of those make sense to me.

Yeah, they kind of hit on this in their main post: > If I use a generative AI tool to create 100 lines of code, and then edit ten of those lines myself, may I contribute the result? > No. Your contribution would still include, in pa

I kind of get their overall point, even if it is ironic that Oracle is all in on AI. They don’t want a ton of contributions to review that weren’t made with care, adding burden to, as they put it: “already limited time of human reviewers”.

Can someone give me examples of where you use agents in your browser? I’ve heard executive leaders tout that “people use agents to buy things for them” but I haven’t actually seen that.

Off topic but it’s getting crazy how confidently you can point at a websites design and go “An LLM designed this.” Jamverse kind of just reminds me of a less guided SCP wiki? I’m not sure I fully get it though. Seems interesting though, I’l
