So what does that mean? Claude within ACP within my editor is billed differently than Claude via CLI?

You have to make performance part of the spec. It will then create benchmarks and plan differently. If you omit this, you get what you get.

And you can spend your effort on features and architectural issues rather than smaller scope bugs. My experience is that Rust enables me to focus on features as long as I don't give the AI free reign. Architecture matters for correctne

Discovery of the best solution in a problem space is not generative but only verificative. Meaning: the LLM can see if a solution is better than another, but it can't generate the best one from the start. If you trust it, you'll g

For the love of god, don't do blank textiles anymore. In the end you have a software that has 20 (or more) individual files for each programs section, which works fine until you want the files to be consistent. Boom. And then you add a

That's why I use Rust and an Actor architecture. :)

The problem is not the LLM deviating from the plan (though that rarely also happens when it thinks it has a better idea) but rather if the plan is not strict enough and the LLM decides on the fly HOW it is going to build your plan.

When the end result has problems and needs to be reworked. You can't figure this out instantly except when you'd review everything the LLM produces, which I am not. So the round trip time is pretty long, but I can trace it back to

Its the "unsettling little ways", right. So you can't skip whole paragraphs, you literally have to read everything. And sometimes its worded in ways I don't understand at all (due to missing implications that the LLM con

The way I use AI now feels more exhausting than the programming I did for the last 20 years. I pose a problem, then evaluate proposals, then pick the one I think is the "right one"(tm), then see the AI propose a bunch of weird shi

The original plan was to only shut the reactors down when enough renewable energy sources would be available to replace them. The Merkel government wanted to prolong the initially planned phase outs. Then Fukushima happened. Bad optics. So

I tried the way they used "oracles" to verify their implementation against known good ones, and I must say: this works. Not all implementations are re-implementations, so this approach won't work for everything. But for a new

While they are not as efficient or flexible, they are many times more efficient than resistive electric water heaters. I've installed one with in house air intake (due to construction reasons) in my house and it cooled down the basemen

Not sure how to take this. While your statements are objectively true, there are a lot of reasons the US won't attack the EU, even if the reasons are mainly economic. Russia on the other hand is shit at waging their war in Ukraine but

Now make an algebra out of the CAP theorem. It's not already one, isn't it? Didn't read the paper.

Newer wind turbines don't have a gearbox and are almost completely silent. When standing next to one, the loudest components are the electrical inverters/transformers.

The API is great. Will definitely try it out. I have a use case already. How difficult would it be to extend this to support timed flushes? Like, every 200ms or so, regardless the fill of the buffer?

My hunch: it's not a real captcha on their page femboy.cat, but actually a script which "claims" the address in the ipv4.games game. Nothing to see here, move along.

For thorny problems I let the agent give me a simplified flow-chart in mermaid syntax. LLM's brain-farts are easily visible then. I correct the flow-chart "Ah, you're right!" and then let it translate it to code. Works w

Well I've seen worse bookkeepers. "You know, you approved of the budget, but where are our customers payments in the balance sheets? We can't find them!" - "Uhm..."

I believe it. I experienced this once, as I tried to have everything owned. Now I just clone around as if there's no tomorrow and tell myself I'll optimize later.

I'm kind of impressed by the speed of it. I told it to write a MQTT topic pattern matcher based on a Trie and it spat out something reasonable on first try. It hat a few compilation issues though, but fair enough.

I remember vaguely that this was observed when training GPT-3 (probably?) as well. Just trained on and on, and the error went up and then down again. Like a phase transition in the model.

I always dreamed of a tool which would know the intent, semantic and constraints of all inputs and outputs of any piece of code and thus could combine these code pieces automatically. It was always a fuzzy idea in my head, but this piece n

Interesting that the film material had better color retention than the old projectors. I never thought about it before and assumed that the washed out colors of old 16mm projections came from bad recordings.

Some films were recorded with a lower frame rate due to some reason. As for variable and standstill, I think this would only be needed when investigating a recording in detail. Not sure if they really need it. Perhaps they just want it to c
