Not sure about "all encompassing" but this pretty much describes the relationship I've had with my wife for the last 30 years. She is my best and my only close friend, we spend 90%+ of our time together and we both would have

My ire is more directed at github PRs than Jira... but the same basic idea applies. You want a single source of truth and you want that as close to the origin (the code) as possible. Your history, dependencies, etc. are all in git already a

They are in the same ballpark for deepseek-v4-flash, but deepseek-v4-pro from deepseek is still around 1/2 of the alternatives.

Then don't use the cloud-based Chinese providers, use cloud-base US/EU providers using Chinese models. The interesting Chinese models are all open making this issue mostly moot.

They were proposing a solution.. To use flash models and use them in a way that best amplifies your work.

It is almost universally hooked up using ssh tunneling so ssh takes care of the security boundary and ssh is well trusted.

His idea has some merit but will require the old system to completely crash out before anything new will be considered and I'm not sure if it will crash or just keep limping along. If it really does crash out hopefully we will see mult

In math/computers abstraction has a technical meaning that requires deterministic behavior for the abstraction to work. It isn't a proper abstraction if it doesn't always do the same thing underneath. Abstraction as a layerin

Didn't sound like any science was involved. There were no observing, hypothesizing and testing steps to be found. Can't have science without those.

Costs will plummet as better hardware becomes available and priced reasonable so that people can more easily run their own open models locally. But that won't help Antropic/OpenAI make more money, quite the opposite.

That is the 3-6 month sota-open gap people talk about, a time-window that continues to move as new models are released on both sides.

+1 .. just wanted to reiterate that this is the answer. The open models work great if you just do a little more of the design/architectural work up front and organize your work appropriately.

Good example. AFAIK they are still focusing on doing this via larger models which is a bad call. They are also focusing to hard on fully-agentic coding which, while useful to a limited extent, is not the best way to use AI for most non-triv
