Some use cases for figuring out what is possible are when you're building something that relies on APIs (such as a chrome extension and you're not familiar with how they work / what they do or just what permissions are needed

Lots of useful information. I guess you need to practice what this suggests rather than just sharing it with someone, though. If you send someone a link of 'How to work with "stupid" people' they might think you're

It would become super amusing if you ask Grok how to do something like this and the recommendation becomes 'Ask ChatGPT'. :) But I'm sure people working on training datasets are filtering out such responses.

I think the right answer is that people who care about these things should use a client that rewrites queries via an LLM and clearly show the changes it makes (not sure if this exists yet but I'm sure it will). This also would handle a

I think you need to create a project file and then it stores things there. For a long time I would get paranoid about accepting Mac updates which would require a reboot because then I'd lose my undo history and then I discovered that t

https://hnreplies.com/ is an option (although using it means tying an email to your Hacker News username within their database which some people won't want.) You can also just look at the threads page occasionally.

Disagree. AI can increase productivity a bunch of ways in this scenario: 1. "Help me understand what this code does." Both via text and by building diagrams. 2. "Help me understand how to solve this problem or how this tech w

I think AI can help reduce the burnout. Send it some code that you think may be relevant and ask about it and then verify after you see the AI's explanation. Of course AI can burn you out, too, if it doesn't find something useful

Surprised to see no mention of how this impacts people who purposefully write scam messages poorly to filter out people are less likely to get conned. Curious if this starts making traditional scammers less efficient.

A similar use case for me - I wrote some technical documentation for our wiki about a somewhat complicated relationship between ids in some database tables. I copied my text explanation into an LLM and asked it to make a diagram and it did

OpenAI has already built some of this but maybe it requires a paid account. https://mashable.com/article/chatgpt-chat-history-search-int... It also has projects (says is for Plus, Team, and Pro users). https:/&#x

I've found processes like this to work better, too. Basically, the one big pr is like building a prototype to throw away. And the benefit is it has to get thrown away because the PR will never pass review.

Yeah, you're right. I did a little investigation before posting that and it seemed to handle some movement within the file but after looking at it more closely I see it is not fully robust (even within the same file it misses some earl

I'm looking forward to developers setting up LLM prompts to make their code seem more complex and like it required more effort.

If you build something that doesn't solve problems with impact to the business, your real productivity is zero. How does this account for that? https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/the-product-minded-engine...

How expensive is it to run these in the cloud? Last time I looked into this it looked like you have to pay significantly in server costs to be able to run a local LLM.

Good tests reduce your cognitive load; you can have more confidence that code will work and spend less time worrying that someone will break it. BTW, I think above are the best metrics to use for tests. Actually measuring it can be hard, bu

Hate to tell you but there is nothing stopping people using AI from doing the same thing.
