No, the old internet wasn't that great. There were so many problems. Finding things was hard, buying things was hard, integrating things was hard, compatibility was hard, everything was super fractured. It felt great at the time becau

YouTrack is pretty good in that is easy to plan and manage work across multiple projects. Jetbrains made it years ago when they got frustrated with Jira for managing their projects. For most of their products (IntelliJ, Ride, Webstorm, Da

The idea is not so much any kind of hard real time guarantee (in practice it switches quickly so it is soft realtime) but what you often have when doing bare-metal embedded systems is a lot of parallel state machines, not necessarily becaus

From recent experience, I'm thinking logs need to be written for AI. Over the last few months, I've had a couple of issues where I took a bunch of logs from a bunch of interacting programs, pointed the AI at the logs and the sour

I've had several instances in my life where I've been alone for extended periods of time, almost at the same age you are now. I've generally enjoyed it, but not sure what the "How To" is for being alone. For me I&#

actually, LLMs do way better, with dapper the LLM generates code to specify types for strings

by keithnz 8mo ago
I think for LLM like Open AI, it wouldn't be about hitting the target but target selection. Target selection is probably the most likely thing that won't be accurate

if you train yourself by looking at GPL code then go implement your own things, is that code GPL?

yeah, spending a bunch of time with the plan is really worthwhile, nearly all aspects of the plan are worth a bunch of attention. Getting it to think about edge cases and all the scenarios for testing is really worthwhile, what can be auto

Agent based code reviews is what you want. But you have to do set it up with really good context about what is wanted. You then review the reviews, keep improving the context it is working with. Make sure it's put into everyone&#x27

really disagree with this. Quite a lot of the time the things I need to send that are an output of an LLM take quite a while to get to, and often the final summary succinctly sums up the problem and the solution.

doesn't matter whether it is an object or not. The age verification is the gateway before you get access, doesn't matter if it will let you chat, or if it would send you a bottle of alcohol after passing the check

agentic ai tends to use it ALL the time.

by keithnz 8mo ago
incorrect. Same principle at play, you want access to something, that thing is age restricted, the vendor of the thing wants you to provide proof of age.

don't you have to age verify to get alcohol? We don't leave that up to the parents. Feels like you defeated your own argument with your examples.

most likely, there seems there are plenty of devs from nearly all major tech companies on HN, they often don't chime in as much anymore when it comes to problems, I've wondered if they get some kind of guidance on not commenting o

The branching strategy we use is features are branched off master, as features are finished we then pick what ones we want to bundle into a release, create a release branch from master, merge features into it, we go through QA, when that re

I feel like I'm doing much nicer thinking now, I'm doing more systems thinking, not only that I'm iterating on system design a lot more because it is a lot easier to change with AI
