Agents work great for tasks that thousands of developers have done before. This isn't one of those tasks.

Vulkan has abysmal UX though. At one point I had to chose between Vulkan and Cuda for future projects, and I ended up with Cuda because a feasibilty study I couldn't get to work in Vulkan for an entire week, easily worked in Cuda in le

Man, I love Kagi. Two years ago I would never have thought I'd ever pay for a search engine, but the option to block garbage domains like userbenchmark or sites with purely AI generated content is just too good.

Security through obscurity is like a bike lock. It can be cracked with the right tools and effort, but massively improves security compared to leaving it out unlocked.

Checking different models once every quarter is exactly what made me move to claude code.

Easy and "good enough" very often trumps complex and comprehensive. Markdown is great precisely because it can't do a lot of things.

Scanning your computer is an entirely different thing than scanning browser extensions. By maximizing the expectation via "Illegally searching your computer", the truth suddenly appears harmless.

All I want from C++29 is a single-line random() function.

C++ isn't great but so far I haven't seen anything I'd rather use.

The idea is great, the execution is terrible. In JS, modules were instantly popular because they were easy to use, added a lot of benefit, and support in browsers and the ecoysystem was fairly good after a couple of years. In C++, support i

From my experience, accessing system RAM from the GPU is so slow, it might as well count as "does not work". It's orders of magnitudes faster to memcpy large swaths of memory that you are going to use to the GPU, rather than

Personally I like C+. Picking the nice parts of C++, but skipping all the nonsense. I just wish C++ hadn't deliberately screwed up designated initializers with mandatory ordering. The C version of it that allows out-of-order assignment

> Somehow vscode (including their renderers) manages to come in pretty low compared to even Apples native apps. Because the issue isn't electron, it's not freeing resources which you can do in any language/platform.

(one who recommended surgery here) I tried hyposensibilization therapy, and while it worked for seasonal birch pollen issues, it didn't work for dust mites, oral allergies, and chronically stuffed sinuses.

It basically means surgically removing parts of your chronically enlarged/swollen turbinates so that your airways are free again. Along with that I've had a nasal spur removed (slightly blocked airways); Septumplastic (had a sligh

Depending on how bad it is for you, I can recommend thinking about turbinectomy. Had it done due to chronic, allergy related swellings, and it was life changing.

Evolution just needs people survive long enough to reproduce. If they get sick afterwards, it doesn't care.

I'm pretty allergic most of the time (lots of birch cross allergies and dust mites), but sometimes when I'm sick the allergic reactions appear to go down. Allergies can be pretty weird.

That's weird, I switched away from ChatGPT because I mostly got superior results from Gemini and Claude.

I liked using singletons back in the day, but now I simply make a struct with static members which serves the same purpose with less verbose code. Initialization order doesn't matter if you add one explicit (and also static) init funct

This is way more cumbersome than mmap if you need to out-of-core process the file in non-sequential patterns. Way way more cumbersome, since you need to deal with intermediate staging buffers, and reuse them if you actually want to be fast.

Pretty much any non-web GUI framework I tried so far has either been terrible to set up, or terrible to deploy. Or both. Electron is stupidly simple. ImGUI is the single exception that has been simple to set up, trivial to deploy (there is

And yet I got better results with Gemini than with Claude Opus.

by m-schuetz 8mo ago
I tried Claude Opus but at least for my tasks, Gemini provided better results. Both were way better than ChatGPT. Haven't done any agents yet, waiting on that until they mature a bit more.

Also Gemini works absolutely fantastic right now. I find it provides better results for coding tasks compared to ChatGPT
