That seems like a very, very long-winded way of accusing them of "embrace, extend, extinguish"? Which is obviously not falsifiable, but just feels a bit trite at this point, IMO.

I personally switched back to vscode as I started using Claude and Opencode more for the AI flow, and I didn't see much added value any longer. Also, I was incredibly frustrated that they decided to hide the close button and finally, t

SQLite is a rock solid piece of software that offers a great value prop: in-process database. For locally running apps (desktop or mobile), this makes perfect sense. However, I genuinely don't see the appeal when you are in a client&#x

I agree that this isn't a very interesting example, but your statement is: "just asking the model to do a simple transform". If you assert that it understand when you ask it things like that, how could anything it produces no

They may not be, but even so they might find themselves in a prisoner's dilemma. I wouldn't rely in this logic for peace of mind.

Why would it need people to steer the AI? I can easily see a future where companies that don't rely on the physical world (like manufacturing) are completely autonomous, just machines making money for their owner.

I wrote my own modal-mode extension for vscode/cursor because couldn't get the VIM-ones to function like I wanted. During that time, I thought that I should look into Kakoune and Helix as those seemed to represent a true iteration

I had Claude help me get a program written for Linux to compile on macOS. The program is written in a programming language the author invented for the project, a pretty unusual one (for example, it allows spaces in variable names). Claude f

I am very curious about this significant hint, could you point me to some material?

Very nice! I am the author of Kanel* which generates types for each table, view, etc. I tend to use it together with Knex which gives me strong type safety from simple selects and updates and sporadic type safety from complex queries with j

The point of that thought exercise is to show that reasoning by induction is flawed. As best I can tell, you discount it with further induction.

I've used gas and induction stoves and they are almost comparable. I certainly wouldn't replace my heat pump and induction stove with gas.

I don't feel that I see this anywhere but if so, I guess I'm in a third camp. I am "pro" in the sense that I believe that LLM's are making traditional programming obsolete. In fact there isn't any doubt in my m

Hallucinations, no. Mistakes, yes, of course. That's a matter of prompting.

I use LLM's to write the majority of my code. I haven't encountered a hallucination for the better part of a year. It might be theoretically unsolvable but it certainly doesn't seem like a real problem to me.

Only tangentially related, but: what is the appeal of TUI's? I don't really understand. The advantages of CLI's are (IMO) that they compose well and can be used in scripts. With TUI's, it seems that you just get a very l
