Yeah I was actually thinking about a proper rig - My gut feel is a rig wouldnt be as expensve as a mac and would actually have a higher ROI (at the expense of portability)? My other worry about the mac is how unupgradable it is. Again not

Ok I really really have to figure out how to have a local setup of the open-source LLMs. I know i know - the "fixed costs" are high. But I have a strong feeling being able to setup local LLMs (and the rig for it) is the next bu

Id be seeing if the candidate actually understanding what the llm is spitting out and pushing back when it doesn't make sense vs are they one of the "infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters"

So youd be surprised and scared - the Ad PMs I know are totally salivating at this. Their angle is "SEO is no more - it is GEO now". GenAI Engine Optimization. Welcome to the Futurama Internet Future!

Forget sandboxing. I'd say review every command it puts out and avoid auto-accept. Right now given inference speeds running 2 or 3 parallel Claude sessions in parallel and still manually accept is still giving me a 10x productivity b

But what if you could re-solve all of today's problems (solutions) with GenAI. Ie if there was an app or game that you like and just want to clone it, that itself today is quite achievable (there was a game -weewar from about 20 years

20? I'd be excited if the 200 a month plan stays after a year. I went with the max reluctantly being the cheapskate I am. There is no way I'm giving that up now. I'm really worried that if they rise the prices il find i

Il be honest I loved AI-studio - it felt like almost unlimited quota. With CLI it is unbeleivablly slow even for simple tasks (compared to claude code) and the "free" seems to be a totally deceptive marketing. Even with an API k

I spent the last two months "vibe coding". I really think VC as it is defined (keep smashing the accept button and let the LLM eventually "get there") is terrible. My flow has been to use Claude code for an incredibl

This is amazing. I've been wanting to do this for ages (even tried a few times and failed a few times). Great to see this.

Is it possible that we dont remember them precisely because they are temporary (atleast in the grand scheme of things)?

I would add one thing though. The pie definitely gets bigger - but i feel there is a period of "downsizing" that happens. I think this is becuase of lack of ideas. When you have tool that (say) 10xes your productivity, its no

So the thing is these anonymous surveys are just a way to "incriminate" managers. Most surveys are structure NOT to ask "Do you think Leader X is bad". It is more about "Do you understand what Leader/Org X is

This is kind of why I hardly use one shot/Agentic flows that the cursors are recomending you do (after all it gets them more control and lockin). I mostly know "how" I want something done so put fences to ensure what is gene

Ive been doing this exactly "manual" setup (actually after a while I jsut wrote a few browser drivers so it is much more snappier but I am getting ahead). I started with GPT which gave mediocre results, then switched to claude whi

This addiction and fear of things-going-bad-if-i-dont-listen-to-the-copilot is precisely why my workflow is a bit more simple and caveman-ish: 1. start a project with vague README (or take an existing one). 2. create makefile with the &quot

Weirdly this is one of the few "Machiavellian" articles that actually reflects the ground reality at G than the sugary "we are a family and every means well" kind of LinkedIn posts!

I'm the same boat. I came to Gemini after using curosr and Claude code. The latter are touted for their auto complete. But frankly the copy paste has not been the context-switch-nightmare I was worrying about. Best analogy I can t

Yeah right now I just dump entire files at it too. After 100-200k tokens I just restart. Not because the LLM is hallucinating (which it is not) but I like the feeling of treating each restart as a new feature checkpoint.

by flashgordon 1y ago
Damn that's interesting. How much of the code do you provide? I'm guessing when modularity is high you can give specific files.

by flashgordon 1y ago
Sorry yes. I should have clarified that.

So I feel like a grandpa reading this. I gave Claude code a solid shot. Had some wins but costs started blowing up. I switched to Gemini AI where I only upload files I want it to work on and make sure to refactor often so modularity rem

A slightly different angle. Every ceo is chomping at the bits for getting rid of all their employees because ... AI. What would it take to build a fully open source turbo tax alternative using AI? I suppose the hardest part would be ke

As someone who is afraid to release personal projects I think what you have done is amazing. Id love to learn From your experience. You are being too humble but this kind of growth is very hardly an accident! I'm not a monetization

Gaslighting engineers with "you don't know how to work with AI" is like telling Doctors - "you don't know how to look up WebMD" for not finding a cure for cancer!!

Interesting. But was the drek in 1977 because flooding the game market was "easy" (I meant to say game development was hard in 1977 - I think - so if there was really drel back then was there a high supply then that was the cause

Wow this is so heartwarming. Actually celebrating "common humans" is so underrated. And kids doing this no less is even more amazing!

Yeah this was where I was getting to. Are the content enablers enabling flooding of content so now they can start selling the search tools/tactics. Wonder if this another way of creating a pandemic so you can sell a cure haha
