Most apps can be a PWA nowadays. A Hetzner VPS costs roughly the same as the Apple dev membership. Saying this as a native iOS dev since iOS 4. For your average pretty json printer you don’t need to go native.

I feel the industry moving away from the automated slop machine, and back to conscious design. Is that only my filter bubble? Dex, dax, the CEO of sentry, Mario (pi.dev) - strong voices, all declaring the last half year a fever dream we mus

I don’t think LLMs are that great at creating, however improved they have; I need to stay in the driver seat and really understand what’s happening. There’s not that much leverage in eliminating typing. However, for reviewing, I want the mo

I think that would also have busted cache all the time, and uncached requests consume usage limits rapidly.

I wouldn’t call that hair-splitting. I’m saying, it’s not a real literature review, but even fancier search.

You might be surprised how well 5.3-codex follows your instructions. When it hits a wall with your request, it usually emits the final turn and says it can’t do it.

> a lot of model tool calls are useless That’s just wrong. File reads, searches, compiler output, are the top input token consumers in my workflow. None of them can be removed. And they are the majority of my input tokens. That’s also wh

Are you aware that every tool call produces output which also counts as input to the LLM?
161.
by manmal 6mo ago
Well you‘ll need the same prompt for input tokens?
162.
by manmal 6mo ago
Why is it not useful? Input token pricing is the same for 4.7. The same prompt costs roughly 30% more now, for input.

Common sense isn’t a language pattern. I doubt this will ever work w/ LLMs.

by manmal 6mo ago
Why don’t you do the planning yourself? It’s very likely to be a better plan.

Why don’t you switch to codex? The grass is greener here. Do use 5.3-codex though, 5.4 is not for coding, despite what many say.

You can also rent a cloud GPU which is relatively affordable.

Those generated ADRs are pure crap, full of unnecessary hedges and superficial solutions that don’t survive scrutiny longer than 10 seconds. I do generate ADR skeleton drafts because I hate empty pages, but I need to add the substance or th

They should pick a lane because it’s not very believable if you put these things into defense systems and in the next minute claim that humanity is existentially threatened. Either you’re lying, or ruthless, or stupid.

The latest MacBook Pros don’t even need external GPUs to run AAA games.
172.
by manmal 6mo ago
Yes. There’s just no way to get above 1t/s that way with a large model.
173.
by manmal 6mo ago
Yes obviously. That VRAM is also slower and has weak compute attached. Loading to the external GPU will slow things down too much.
174.
by manmal 6mo ago
But isn’t the Mac Mini the weak link in that scenario?
175.
by manmal 6mo ago
That’s what, 14GB/s? The GPU‘s VRAM can do 100x that.
176.
by manmal 6mo ago
Maybe I’m lacking imagination. But how will a GPU with small-ish but fast VRAM and great compute, augment a Mac with large but slow VRAM and weak compute? The interconnect isn’t powerful enough to change layers on the GPU rapidly, I guess?

Graphics was not what came to mind when I saw the headline.

Both teams ship at breakneck speed and both randomly regress. I don't see such a big difference. Claude now uses Claude by default to judge whether a tool call is sane or not. At least OC is transparent about the insanity of running ba
