Given that the biggest companies never pay their fair share of taxes, it'll be more difficult to point out what we dont't subsidize.

Ah, I wish. You're just lucky if you never had a MacBook burning your hand when pulling it out of a backpack.

datomic =/= clojure Clojure doesn't have much manpower, being a niche language and all, so maybe that's where your impression comes from. It's hardly on purpose, and there's many examples of software that ships with

> With thinking models, yes 100x is not just possible, but probable So the answer is no then, because I don't put reasoning and non-reasoning models in the same ballpark when it comes to token usage. You can just turn off reasoning.

by monsieurbanana 1y ago
Are you saying that some models will take 100x more tokens than other (models in the same ballpark) for the same task? Is the 100 a real measured metric or just random numbers to illustrate a point?

I don't use Twitter, I don't use X, I don't buy Tesla. It's not hard to understand why I don't use Grok either.

Save your prompts, anonymize them and offer them to anyone that wants to train a LLM, that is us collectively training LLMs. Giving Claude your private data ensures that there will not be thousands of providers, since the limiting facto

You mean collectively allow us to train Claude's llm? Pretty big omission there

I think we're saying the same thing then. So what's left is to answer GP question, which nobody has done: What are the use cases for using the repl directly rather than through something like SLIME? You answered "both" w

I'd like if you address the main point of his post: being left-handed. I've never liked fountain pens because most languages are written left-to-right, which means you will get smudged much more easily than if you were right-hande

The person you're answering is also using a REPL while coding, just not accessing it directly (= manually writing in the REPL stdin) Instead he interacts with it via his editor's tooling, where you are in a normal file, and use a

I didn't think this would be so hard to understand. It's not a false dichotomy, without the notch the screen would have to be smaller to have the camera there. You didn't lose any pixels.

by monsieurbanana 1y ago
I don't understand your logic unless you're implicitly saying the camera needs to go away, but then you should say so (so that I can properly disagree with you). The notch makes for a smaller menu bar but without the notch there w

I don't disagree, it's annoying. But what's the solution here? Bashing quality submissions because they use AI? Even if LLMs don't succeed in their seemingly ultimate goal of replacing humans, and I don't think they

If that's the reason why people dunk on ai-assisted programming, fine. That's not the impression I had though, the criticism I usually see is around laziness, low-effort submissions, etc... Which are not inherent issues of using l

What I listed is not optional, it's the bare minimum if you want to have a widely-adopted self-hosted solution for someone's digital life. If you're going to recommend your non-tech family store all their photos in raspberry

Now add raid storage, nobody should keep their photos and other important documents in a single drive, then at least double the price because you're not going to sell a raspberry kit to the general public but a polished product that ne

Now you lost me. Expecting one server per person in a household is unrealistic. Even if software becomes perfect, what about the hardware aspect? Expecting a family of 5 to have 5 servers all available and reachable from anywhere sounds lik

Because they want to control as much of the market as possible, everyone and their dog is using LLMs for work and mails and groceries. That doesn't change their usefulness, if tomorrow they all increase the price x10 it will remain use

With which agent? What kind of apps? Without more information I'm very skeptical that you had e.g. Claude Code create a whole app (so more than a simple script) with 20 cents. Unless it was able to one-shot it, but at that point you do
