This all reminds me of the differing experiences people had outsourcing coding in the 2010s when it was still called oDesk. You don’t need to read code, you just need to know that the code works. If something doesn’t show up as a problem it

It’s “fallacious appeal to authority”. This means don’t talk to your yoga teacher about vaccines. Authority exists.

I’ve been using mostly deepseek v4, kimi k2.6, and gpt 5.3-codex I sometimes chuck a few tokens to gpt 5.5 and opus 4.8 and they can sometimes solve a problem one of the other models couldn’t, but they’re not like 10x better or anything in

I always rebase the worktree back to the source branch before merging, and resolve conflicts on the branch. I have a resolve conflicts skill and just say: echo “resolve conflicts” | runpi Where runpi is my pi -p wrapper. I’ve never had a re

I use this bash script that creates tmux windows and panes in a worktree and then undoes the process: https://gist.github.com/iaindooley/cc8a61a1ff0fe23526c850906... You include a script .worktree in your repo that doe

What is the advantage of a git remote set to a local upstream vs a git worktree?
101.
by dools 3mo ago
Yep: one extra rotation at the end, like when you are tying the loops together, go around a second time. Never comes undone, but releases easily.

Yeah you get the usage back and each element has pricing published

It’s not meaningless at all: every query returns usage and I can calculate the cost. EDIT: this is like saying hourly rate or salary is meaningless. Different people have different output. You have to evaluate performance. EDIT2: just pray

Orly? “ Automatic Prefix Caching (APC in short) caches the KV cache of existing queries, so that a new query can directly reuse the KV cache if it shares the same prefix with one of the existing queries, allowing the new query to skip the c

I would be very surprised if they hadn’t sorted out some form of shared KV caching

I tried a pro model out the other day and thought there must have been a bug in Pi’s cost calculations. But no, it’s absolutely fucking insane. Wasn’t even any better at the task.

No, PDO doesn't qualify, because it lacks the "relational mapping" part. If I want an AI opinion of my project I can always ask a chatbot myself.

I dunno... Command and Conquer ported to macOS/iPad in 18 months using AI coding agents probably wouldn't have the same ring to it

No, it's an ORM because it gives you object based iteration over your query (and the ability to use custom classes for those objects, you just don't have to create classes for every single thing if you don't need them). EDIT:

Yeah which is a bit underhanded. Because the implication of "using Fable" is that it was done in under ... a week? So it's just a bit of click bait.

How is it done "using Fable" when the first commit was Feb last year??

I think Opus 4.8 is deliberately nobbled. Kimi k2.6 with Kimi code beats opus models at finding vulnerabilities, even though it produces some false positives, when I give the same issues to opus and ask it to verify most of the time it conc

I've been building a reasonably complicated project over the past week using deepseek v4 pro almost exclusively (a couple of k2.7 and 1 session with gpt5.5 to re-assess some architectural questions). Deepseek is super capable though if
