OpenRouter is primarily a router. It just proxies requests through to the actual provider.

Anybody want to give an anecdotal take on how good it is?

"Knowing where you are on these axes at any given moment is, I think, the core skill of working with AI effectively." I like this a lot. It suggests that AI use may sometimes incentivize people to get better at metacognition rathe

It doesn't have to work 100% of the time to be ubiquitous! This is just the strangest point of view. People don't work 100% of the time either, and they wrote all the code we had until a couple of years ago. How did we deal with t

I think it's too far to say you need YOLO mode — the author was correctly pointing to the "auto-accept all changes" setting. They should have just turned that on and then reviewed the changes in larger chunks. You don't

by dcre 6mo ago
The choice isn't really between all at once and line by line. I always use accept all changes, but I make commits that I can review and consider in bigger pieces, but usually smaller than the full PR.

Indeed, in Freud the word is _Unbewusstsein_, which is literally more like "being-unconscious," but a more natural English translation would be unconsciousness.

No it isn't. Can you give an example?

How exciting, I get to be the pedant: it’s “stream-of-consciousness,” not “stream-of-conscious.” Conscious is an adjective; there can’t be a stream of it.

I call it pseudo-critique — active stupidity in the name of critical thinking — but that’s too general.

This looks really good. Haven't read in full yet, but I was hoping to see him credit Ben Evans's "Office, messaging and verbs" (2015): "In effect, every person on that floor is a cell in a spreadsheet. The floor is

I’ve always meant to write a post about this. Bun is pretty similar and has the `$` helper from dax built in. In the past I would have used Python for scripts that were too complicated for Bash. But the type system in Python is still not gr

Funny that everyone is linking the tools they wrote for themselves to deal with this problem. I am no exception. I wrote one that just lets you write JavaScript. Imagine my surprise that this extremely naive implementation was faster than j

I love jj and think virtually every git user should switch to it, but I don't think it treats text as an AST. What do you mean?

This is a reasonable reaction — pretty sure I felt the same way when I heard about jujutsu's first-class conflicts[0] — but it turns out to be really useful not to be stuck inside an aberrant state while conflicts are in the process of

I looked at the repo and couldn’t even find an example, so it can’t be that many of their commits. But also: this is ridiculous. Whether the commit appears as done by Claude or not is a setting you can change. If they turned it off, you’d n

It's not about what they wish would happen, it's about what they think will happen. In my view they are acting precisely like they believe they will be making a proportion of developer pay by making them more productive rather tha

They are not. A very large proportion of their revenue comes from developers. A large proportion of their marketing and product work is aimed at developers. You have to work really hard to not see this. Just look at what Altman and Brockman

Can't blame you for not trusting OpenAI, but it seems to me they would gain very little from fucking up uv (or more precisely doing things that have a side effect of fucking up uv), and they have tons of incentive to cultivate develope

In jj this is jj diff -f ‘fork_point(trunk() | @)’. I have an alias for it.

Personally, even though performance up to 200k has improved a lot with 4.5 and 4.6, I still try to avoid getting up there — like I said in another comment, when I see context getting up to even 100k, I start making sure I have enough writte

Curious what language and stack. And have people at your company had marginally more success with greenfield projects like prototypes? I guess that’s what you’re describing, though it sounds like it’s a directory in a monorepo maybe?

One tip I have is that once you have the diff you want to fix, start a new session and have it work on the diff fresh. They’ve improved this, but it’s still the case that the farther you get into context window, the dumber and less focused

They are changing the meaning of the original text. It does not say “workers.”

Sounds terrible. Seems like Perplexity is desperate to appear innovative but doesn’t know how.
