One is a specific pattern, with specific distances, colors, etc. The other is a human-invented category of objects that lacks consistency in size, shape and design. “Don’t print this specific pattern” is a much more closed loop than “figure

New stuff does, but most of my peripherals aren't new. A couple are a decade old and probably pre-date USB-C being standardized. I am semi-frequently annoyed that my laptop has 0 USB-A ports. At least give me one.

There’s few implementations of the engine, but many implementations of rules for that engine. I think OPs point is that many of those rule sets probably don’t do what the author intended. I would second that, because CORS questions are comm

It’s not what they do, and it’s a crowded market where they don’t really have an edge. If you want well-vetted products, don’t go to Craigslist. They’re just digital classifieds, the tradition is basically “anyone can list them, no one chec

I would disagree, purely because the utility of a programming language doesn’t hinge on how many speak it. The goal of programming languages is to execute instructions on the machine. Brainfuck still executes machine code the same whether 2

Not really, precisely because it’s decentralized. You can’t audit whether a user accessed one of the hidden files, or really even who can access it once you accept the reality of the risk that some team will put a key on S3 or a shared driv

I suspect these won't be as sticky as the contracts you're thinking of. Oracle and Microsoft can run on that because their products aren't compatible with anything else so migrating is a huge pain. Cursor doesn't really

You have to apply (and they presumably need to approve). It's probably indicative of a less predatory model, but CF got a ton of mindshare by offering their free tier. I do basically nothing in the frontend space, but I default to CF

While I disagree with OP about removing stuff from the model, there’s a valid question about tradeoffs between intelligence and price. Deepseek Flash is almost certainly wrong more often than Opus or Fable. It also costs like 5% as much. Th

Fable can delegate tasks to Opus or Sonnet, so it has some agentic properties and I believe it does them in parallel. The parallelism is where this starts to fall apart on a local PC. Like I can run some Qwen quants, but I can’t run a decen

It’s really hard to translate minutes to tokens, it depends on how you’re using it. The best answer would be to pull session stats from your harness and compare that against the limits. I think Anthropic publishes the limits of each plan. I

No, this is an agent-level thing, not a feature of the model (ish, unsure for Fable). You talk to a smart, heavy model to build a plan composed of smaller steps. Then you have the heavy model spin up smaller, cheaper LLMs to actually implem

Most LLM tasks can be expressed as a DAG, but the odds of it succeeding go way, way up if you drop the acyclic requirement (eg a “run tests, if they fail, fix it and loop back to running the tests” stage). And it gets delegated to context b
