The last thing I saw on it was a video saying that calling Devin an AI software engineer that does Upwork tasks is a lie based in what was shared in an earlier video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNmgmwEtoWE "I brok

My understanding this is about using Authy on Macs rather than on mobile since it talks about the MacOS store.

You should be able to provide more data than that in the input if the output doesn't use the full 4k tokens. So limit is context_size minus expected length of output.

Yes, it is better if for example using it via an API to classify. Deterministic behavior makes it a lot easier to debug the prompt.

"Customize GPT" -> "Custom Instructions" lets you do this; tell it your preferred language assuming you want code examples.

I think you should look into making your extension 'private' at least at first and only grant access to people who pay for it. You need to add each user's gmail account to a list in the Chrome Webstore or associate a Google G

I'd also like to see the results of hand-tracing of variable values done separately by the developer for each copy. Maybe have several developers do it as an extra check.

I think that would ideally be done via a separate linter set up in CI. It has bugged me when using python interactively but fortunately ipython will ignore it.

I was under the impression that Product Hunt and such sites are good if you want to get eyes in general on your product and maybe increase your popularity within the tech scene but those people might not match the target demographic for cus

Wonder if people where you're from run into problems where the manhole covers tip onto their diagonal and fall in (since that's the answer I memorized and I think is known as the predominant reason.)

There were ways to get problems, though, such as prior questions for the ACM programming contest. Those tended to be a little harder, though. Also, topcoder started in 2001.

Your title is too vague and people likely won't bother reading this post. Is "Ask HN: Has anyone ever asked this before?" in case it gets changed. Also, the answer is probably 'Yes'. Think the reality is people don&

If you think of XML (and JSON, YAML) as a standardized CSV that can handle hierarchy I think that's beyond a useless fad. There are lots of edge cases in parsing data and having standardized tools for that makes it a lot easier for sys

50-year-you has lots of experience in the domain of 'you' and knows the future (via your lens) from when you were 20. 50-year-olds when you're 20 will lack those things. Also, everyone has holes in their knowledge/perspe

I look forward to the day that I can run a local LLM (for confidentiality reasons) to automatically reorganize commits within my PR. Should be very safe compared to generating code or merging/rebasing other code since it is just changi

Might depend on how companies use git but I just verified I can see commits for PRs from 2017 in my work codebase; could bisect that if needed (although code likely is no longer relevant.) I think splitting PRs into multiple commits can mak

I prefer to add commentary in the PR on the final changes - what does it do, how does it work, what are some pieces of code I'm less sure of, etc. It is accessible since the squashed commit gets linked to it and that provides a place f

I think the argument against rebasing is spending time polishing a PR to have a cleaner history for one feature that will maybe get looked at during review (rather than the final output) vs also making a PR for a second feature during that
