I don't think this is for people that would just write code. Maybe you need that pressure release to get some edge cases, but for the most part, if you're using a visual programming tool, you are trying to avoid the code part for

But isn't it more advantageous to have the gas -> electricity conversion in a plant from an emissions point of view? You still have losses in the system when moving natural gas around from the source to individual homes too (leaks).

That’s what I’m looking for - low code environments for making quick applications that aren’t sexy, but that are genuinely helpful for a non-technical business. Thanks! From that link, it seems that Salesforce and Microsoft also have offeri

It’s more that I haven’t really seen many examples of Access or FileMaker applications in the wild for a while. Most of these were CRUD apps that were able to be moved to the web. But that doesn’t mean that typical users are any more capabl

Is there a place these days for interfaces like this? I’m thinking about self contained applications like HyperCard stacks, but also FileMaker databases or even Access databases where we had interfaces linked to a database all as a self con

I can remote lock/unlock my car from an app, so I’m guessing this is what they are thinking about.

I'm a bit disappointed. Based on the title, I was hoping this was going to be a list of popular recipes Claude has suggested for cooking food. It's one of the not-so-obvious use cases I have a Claude/ChatGPT. It's been r

Knowing that makes a lot of sense. Sometimes his prose can read like a sentence that was started but he’s too much effort in to give up on. It probably helps his writing to do it by hand - you can’t edit quickly on the fly with paper (unles

My handwriting is roughly legible on paper (but getting worse). It is the same on an iPad+pencil with a Paperlike screen cover. It was impossible to read on my Remarkable 2 - the resolution just isn’t there for me. I think it’s important to

And has a very vocal/opinionated owner. You know what you're getting with Sourcehut. (And I don't mean that in a bad way). Rightly or wrongly, Codeberg had a different feel. For a while it felt like it was trying to be a refu

That's a controversial stance. The first statement of not using codeberg hosted projects to train LLMs makes sense. But to outright ban LLM coded projects seems just silly. If the problem is that users have too many vibe coded projects

This was my biggest question. Thanks for preemptively answering (and being proud!). When I was playing with this, I immediately thought of TiddlyWikis, which I've always been fond of, but they never took for me. However, an easily edit

Olden days being FB and Twitter APIs? Don't forget about Apple Sherlocking independent devs. This has been happening with almost any platform for a very long time.

The linguistic gymnastics required when talking about OpenAI vs ChatGPT and Anthropic vs Claude is difficult when you're giving talk about them. At least Google vs Gemini is a little clearer. I mean, I get the rationale Company vs. Pro

I’m not sure you’d see that big of a difference in quality. There is quite a bit of cruft that can accumulate when you know the code will never be public. But, you would probably see a difference of scale and architecture. Larger projects t

I would guess you're probably right. But if you are accused of something, not having a separate non-work computer/phone could make that process worse.

A simpler spec can be used by a simpler agent. So, maybe that's the use-case here... use by smaller/cheaper agents that run in parallel as opposed to large models running one visualization at a time. Or at least, maybe that's

They just need to price it more than the cost of the base stations and maintaining downlink sites. Any revenue above variable costs is worth trying to capture. The cost of keeping the constellation of satellites healthy will be borne by cus

For what it's worth, I was specifically thinking about DSL and 2000-2010s era DOCSIS technologies. The analogy is really that when mobile phones became popular in Africa, it was possible to skip the step of having wired landlines and c

by mbreese 3mo ago
Isn’t this a similar argument to how Africa adopted mobile phones significantly faster than other regions? When you don’t have an established wired infrastructure, it becomes significantly easier to jump technology generations. Especially i

This reads like the transcript of an AI YouTube video that is trying to make it to 8 minutes for an ad roll.

To me, this seems like Science dunking on Nature (the journals). It’s interesting, but only a story because Nature is involved.

Don’t worry - the cycle will reverse again at some point and we’ll go back to more powerful local machines.

Biotech and academia have very different standards for data quality and reproducibility. Most of the biotech people I know view academic research as an interesting first draft at best.

Or Claude is better at getting people to move to more expensive membership tiers. From reading here, it seems like Claude still has a lot of users. If Claude has lower limits for their $20 plan, it stands to reason that people are paying fo

If we're talking a government site, chances are you don't have the budget to be able to hire much above junior or midlevel devs. And the project manager probably has a small budget [^1] and little experience with what the web desi

I'm somewhat in agreement. I like building 1:1 code for that specific agent. Where I'm starting to question this is maintainability. When I come up with a new technique or way of doing something in my new agent, how can I update a
