But also, you might have to flip the coin an arbitrarily large number of times before you get a "heads tails" or "tails heads" roll (if I can arbitrarily pick how biased the coin is).

The compile time guarantees + declarative nature make Clap so amazing and foolproof. This is like heaven compared to imperative, arcane incantations like getopt.

Exactly! Can you imagine if we applied the same gatekeeping logic to science? Imagine you weren't allowed to use someone else's scientific work or any derivative of it. We would make no progress. The only legitimate defense I have

Noted! Also adding predefined color palettes, like monochrome, sepia, etc. I've found LLMs come up with really good color palettes, too.

Is it a large image? On my iPhone, it took a solid 30 seconds to open a really big, high resolution image from my photo album. I know this is like uncouth, but could you open it in devtools and show me the output? I've gotten hundreds

Yes. I am an anti-copyright extremist. May the best implementation win. Otherwise, everyone loses out so that one individual can artificially collect rent through a government-enforced monopoly. Accelerate.

1. Pre-prompting for image and video generation. Gives you way better results for less than a cent of added cost. Although many image models do this thing for you; you have to understand each individual model and apply this judiciously. 2.

Eh, I disagree. Lots of valuable open source code purely written by AI has already been shipped.

I generated tons of valuable code with a bunch of GitHub stars, paying users, hundreds of signups, millions of impressions. Just chipping in my anecdote.

Again, I appreciate the reply. I think my view on LLMs is skewed towards the positive because I've only been building CRUD apps, command line tools, and games with them. I apologize if I came off as incendiary or offensive.

I appreciate the reply. What is everyone working on that takes more than five minutes to think about? For me, the work is insurmountable and infinite, while coming up with the solution is never too difficult. I'm not saying this to be

On my main, not gonna dox myself. Being pro AI is clearly a faux pas for personal branding. Just a few days ago got flamed for only having 62 users on GameTorch. Now up to 91 and more paying subs. Entire thing written by LLMs and hasn'

> if the problem is that I need to be very specific with how I want LLM to fix the issue, like providing it the solution, why wouldn't I just make the change myself? I type 105 wpm on a bad day. Try gpt-4.1. It types like 1000 wpm.
