> assuming they do the research and know what they are doing. This is the assumption that has almost always failed and thus has lead to the banning of AI code altogether in a lot of projects.

They do not. At my company, I use them all the time with the fancy models and everything. Preplanning does not solve the problem they're describing. When claude is doing a complex task, it will regularly lose track of the rules (in eit

But all work isn't done by LLMs at the moment and we can't be sure that it will be so the question is ridiculous. Maybe one day it will be.. And then people can reevaluate their stance then. Until that time, it's entirely rea

I have similar types of bindings. I just found a keyboard that can use ZMK. There's quite a few out there. ZMK (or it's free software cousin QMK) are super flexible and you can create lots of custom behaviors for keys (tap/ho

tmux/screen is literally less work to use than this thing. You need to learn to type less than a dozen total characters including the command. Not to mention a lot of terminals automatically integrate with tmux so you don’t have to do

That's great. They should do that then. They're not providing value to the US economy at that point. They're purely extracting value from it. They should leave. Of course, in reality, they never actually leave because the vas

These kinds of thought exercises are so tortured. No one is memorizing a book for the purpose of regurgitating it to someone that wants to read it without paying for it. It's a thought experiment that only works if you don't think

It very much depends. These days most apps are developed so that they’re equally trash on both. The apps that are more specialized to reach OS tend to prioritize iOS because if you look at app revenue, iOS users wildly outspend Android user

With all these AIs chaining and prompting eachother, we're approaching the point where some unlucky person is going to ask an AI something and it will consume all the energy in the universe trying to compute the answer.

The real question is, do you even need to fix it? Does it matter? The reason those things matter in a traditional project is because a person needs to be able to read and understand the code. If you're vibe coding, that's no longe

yeah I'm not convinced at all this is solvable. The entire point of many of these features is to get data into the prompt. Prompt injection isn't a security flaw. It's literally what the feature is designed to do.

The issue is LLMs are, by design, non-deterministic. That means that, with the current technology, there can never be a deterministic agent. Now obviously, humans aren't deterministic either, but the error bars are a lot closer togethe
