I'm actually quite bearish on AI in the generative space, but even I have to admit that writing boilerplate is "N" times faster using AI (use your favorite N). I hate when people claim this without any proof, so literally tod

I like Rust, but I think this post is unfairly downvoted. Rustaceans often annoyingly point out that "you can't use super-common-footgun X with Rust!" which, while true, they also omit the compromises made are immense (frankl

Even my 4-year-old M1 Pro can run a quantized Deepseek R1 pretty well. Sure, full-scale productizing these models is hard work (and the average "just-make-shovels" startups are failing hard at this), but we'll 100% get there

Fully agree with @tptacek here: > But AI is also incredibly — a word I use advisedly — important. It’s getting the same kind of attention that smart phones got in 2008, and not as much as the Internet got. That seems about right. However

It's actually wild how terrible Apple Intelligence is. You'd get a better summary by literally copy-pasting the email/text message in any LLaMA model, so I'm not even sure what they're doing to get such awful result

MCP is bloated AI hype that basically solves nothing (the Langchain of 2025!). Typical tooling on top of tooling and the quintessential case of a problem looking for a solution. It's absolute garbage from just about any standpoint: arc

Yeah, I'm pretty sure as long as you have symmetry somewhere (e.g. a commutative operation), you'll get self-similar patterns.

Heroku is the OG "vibe coding" platform and, honestly, it was awesome. The first platform where you could deploy with one CLI command, sure it was expensive, but for years it was my favorite place to prototype or MVP stuff.
