I'm still faster than the cheap bots. The creative part for me includes both the implementation and the design, because the implementation also matters. The bots get in the way. Maybe I would be faster if I paid for Claude Code. It&#x2

I mean you just can't take a comment seriously when it lists music class as a zero sum competition. About the only time that's true is if you're dead set on first chair in a specific orchestra, or think a career any less succ

to advocate for the death of 8 billion people is a hell of a stance. there's pro genocide and then there's... I guess this is just hating the whole species.

I'd argue part of the reason the times are so absurd is that there's a whole ecosystem of gonzo journalists from Hasan Piker to Adin Ross to that one famous guy recently that got shot

Isn't this moving the goalposts? It's great that you're learning but MathAcademy appears to be a whole product that may incorporate an LLM but is much more, and it's a paid product none of us can evaluate. It's not

it's so half-assed, why just tack a zero onto the Christian year? in the Yoruba calendar it's 10,067 -- use that and it puts things in a real perspective. We're ten thousand years from the beginning of civilization, not two t

ok call me a spoiled Go programmer but I have had an allergy to manually formatting code since getting used to gofmt on save. I highly recommend setting up an autoformatter so you can write nasty, undented code down the left margin and have

that's because a next token predictor can't "forget" context. That's just not how it works. You load the thing up with relevant context and pray that it guides the generation path to the part of the model that repre

it just seems like a lot of work when you could just write the code yourself, just a lot less typing to go ahead and make the edits you want instead of trying to guide the autocorrect to eventually predict what you want from guidelines you

it's also widely believed that the cars are remotely operated, not autonomous. they are likely semi autonomous, which is still cool, but I wish they'd be honest about it

Austin is also a car city, everyone has a car there. Public transit in Austin is a joke, and Waymo can't get on the highway so it's only useful for getting back to your hotel from Rainey Street, and maybe back to your dorm from th

"remote" can just mean "far enough from the financial district that I can afford a little space" as it turns out. You're not WRONG but just being in the same time zone as your coworkers gets you 90% of the in person

I'm not convinced LLMs are a net positive. They've been compared to railroads. Show me the new commerce brought about by LLM trains.

the techniques described sound like just as much work, if not more, than just writing the code. the claimed output isn't even that great, it's comparable to the speed you would expect a skilled engineer to move at in a startup env

LLMs might make you feel faster (which helps with motivation!) and help with some of the very easy stuff but the critical part of your anecdote is that you haven't actually completed the extra work. The projects are only "NEARING&
