I would first automate everything with scripts, and only use an agent for the parts that require it. For example you mentioned playwright? That can be automated. It doesn’t need to be a free form tool that the agent uses at will. If that me

I don't want to hijack the thread, because that's a cool project. Still, if you're looking for something that "just works" and is widely used, have a look at caddy.

Bashing on MS products and on ReactJS (apparently used by spacex UIs) is a common pastime here and I'm guilty of it myself. But here we're talking about actual space rockets flying to space with humans in them. My expectation woul

In a practical sense, I'm primarily interested in small to medium sized models being open. I think that might be common sentiment. However, my hope is that there will be at least somewhat competitive big and open models as well, from a

You linked me to this comment from another one and I have to agree with this sentiment. Creating these mini DSLs is something that requires a lot of thought and good design. There is a danger here as you pointed out sharply. But I have some

> no type safety That's fair if you're looking at it from a performance perspective. Not entirely fair if you look at it from a perspective of wanting fast feedback loops and correctness. In Clojure you get the former via the R

Taxes in Switzerland are generally quite a bit lower than in other European countries. However mandatory health insurance is not included as a tax in Switzerland and is one of the highest expenditures for regular folks and yes, cost of livi

I like it! Really nice API. I had an idea about writing something similar, but for multimethods, but never got around thinking it through and trying it out. The way defmulti and defmethod work is that they do a concurrency safe operation on

You're right of course. Thank you for providing an authoritative source regardless!

You make some factual claims that I‘ve never heard before and surprise me, especially „Fact 1“.

In other words, the law is an instrument if power. That’s a cynical view, but unfortunately it seems true in many cases, especially for corporate law.

I‘m not even a fan of JSX, but it’s simply way more productive than having a separate, idiosynchratic language for templating. The issue is not an aside or secondary. Web development is a highly competitive profession. I literally cannot af

The problem with Go specifically is that it's not great for processing arbitrary JSON and especially not your typical frontend code. One issue is that you don't write Go code, you write Go plus some templating language (like html&

That’s actually an amazing case of agents. I love programming, but be honest, there are a lot of tasks like this that are just very time consuming and not interesting at all.

Better by which metrics?

by dgb23 7mo ago
The cure for me has been to write an agent myself from first principles. Tailored to my workflow, style, goals, projects and as close as possible to what I think is how an agent should work. I’m deliberately only using an existing agent as

> No it isn't? There was a recent post on HN describing how to use local models with claude code by changing some env vars. Also some tools let you run Claude Code with other models conveniently (see: https://docs.ollama.

Are you not feeling the vibes? In all seriousness. I think you‘re supposed to run these in some kind of sandbox.

by dgb23 7mo ago
That’s what every agent does. They are fundamentally simple. But you can do a lot of interesting things on top of this. I highly recommend writing an agent and hooking it up to a local model.

That’s what I‘m thinking as well. However, I assume that usage data could be increasingly valuable as well. That will likely help the big commercial cloud models to maintain a head start for general use.

by dgb23 7mo ago
That's already the case I think, you just have to change a bunch of env vars.
117.
by dgb23 7mo ago
That's not necessarily the case. So far, commercial cloud LLMs have maintained a head-start, but there is no law of nature that prevents us from having competitive open models. In fact the space seems to move at a rapid pace as more an

I would push back on that question a little, because it has a baked in assumption about how these things work that conflict with my mental model and experience with them. The reason is that sometimes it spits out something or does a workflo
