Do you have examples we could try?

I'd say competition is good. The large investments in datacenters in the US is also a sign that both politicians and business owners understand the risk of falling behind China, and that's a good thing. This race will intensify, a

I was about to write this. So refreshing, after having looked at hundreds of semi or completely AI-written articles. Even the news look like sterile Claude now. This is so human.

Love this. Maki.sh looks solid, will try!

Terrible writing. Uses em dashes incorrectly and for no good reason. I like them too, and I'm saddened that they're now seen as a sign of AI slop. But that writeup is sadder.

Article ends with "Get in touch with me (LinkedIn, email) if you want to get some details about a product we built aiming at giving control back to the engineers.". Already then.

Wild(er) idea: expect future AI to maintain current AI-written code.

For those who aren't aware, Cursor sports one of the best LLM harnesses for coding. The app itself is annoying to use compared to their CLI counterparts, but the harness is widely recognized as the best in the business, or very close.

I thought that was what everybody was doing all day since LLMs came out. I certainly spend most of my free time asking questions, pulling refs, parsing research papers and brainstorming. As models become better, it'd become way more re

There's a reason why this tech is called disruptive. The same phenomenon can be observed on Reddit. You'll see a lot of knee-jerk reactions to anything that looks AI, as in 'Thanks ChatGPT' or 'AI slop' top com

If you have suggestions for good Discord servers, please share. The bullshittery is coming out of my ears. I don't quite know where to turn to anymore. There's HN. Reddit is getting a bit crazy, all other social media is a pass fo

Many of us tested 27B and 35B side by side, and the dense model is significantly smarter. It indeed is slower, but 35B makes a lot of mistakes 27B doesn't.

Bonus points for MD being readable even when it's not parsed. More bonus points for Sublime Text displaying it in plain text and still looking great. Good enough++

Same as top comment, have spent a lot of time on local models. IMHO, qwen3.5 is the very first model that is actually usable for serious work, ever - and I've tried them all. The 35B 3B is very smart. It understands things no other l

I used to use LLMs to 'clean up' my own writings, and in the end I agree with the author here: it doesn't really help. The reader will have this impression of 'too perfect', and will have a diminished feeling of val

The tech debt this title speaks of only applies if humans have to deal with it. Tech debt is an assumption made on the grounds that humans are still programming and AI does not evolve. It's the opposite of reality.

There is one thing everybody forgets when making such predictions: companies don't stand still. Nvidia and every other tech business is constantly exploring new options, taking over competitors, buying startups with novel technologies

Execution is cheap? How about you try a video game, and not 3 obvious and worthless automations I could have made as a quick fix at lunch time.

I had the same idea. I think this is very useful. As it is it does look like a proof-of-concept, and that's OK. I'd develop this as a book recommendation site and simply link to the books on Amazon or your preferred book source. C

We've been through many technological revolutions, in computing alone, through the past 50 years. The rate of progress of LLMs and AI in general over the past 2 years alone makes me think that this may be unwarranted worry and akin to

Racket has a very nice built-in debugger in its DrRacket editor, with thread visuals and all. Too bad nobody uses DrRacket, or Racket anymore. Admittedly, even with the best debugger, finding the cause of runtime errors has always been a pa

I’ve had enough of misinformation. It’s killing our civilization. So I decided to do something about it.

This resonates with me, a lot. Few months ago I wrote about my initial thoughts here: https://www.cleverthinkingsoftware.com/programmers-will-be-r... Things have changed quite a bit since, but I'm glad they changed for

Agreed, but in the case of the lie detector, it seems it's a matter of interpretation. In the case of LLMs, what is it? Is it a matter of saying "It's a next-word calculator that uses stats, matrices and vectors to predict ou

I can imagine there are plenty of use cases, but I could not find one for myself. Can you give an example?

I made my own. I needed to have a calendar that showed every todo item per day, and a text editor to edit the tasks just like in a todo.txt. Used it all day every day for over 15 years. I still have it installed on nearly all my Win systems

I have a similar setup but with 32 GB of RAM. Do you partly offload the model to RAM? Do you use LMStudio or other to achieve this? Thanks!
