Very interesting. Can these models be used in editors/agents like aider or roo? I can see also see a use case of some sort of plugin or browser extension, to easily apply the patches provided by GPT/Claude on their web interfaces

They could still RAG the AST and just use different chunking strategies It doesn’t seems like what they are doing necessarily replaced RAG, even if it can The times I’ve implemented RAG, I’ve seen an immediate significant improvement in the

What platforms do you think could fill that space up? Recently discovered brilliant.org, do you have an opinion about them?

I haven’t solved this, but sounds super useful! Would love to have something like a hotjar/analytics script that could automatically collect context and then I could query it to produce context for a prompt Great idea, you should build

Very cool, this could be incredibly helpful to salespeople Love the simplicity of the website The video could be improved, it starts great, then there's too much technical detail Congratulations on the traction, having it live with 30

It really depends on the task and your preferences I’ve had great success using LLMs for things that I haven’t done in a while or never before. They allow me to build without getting too bogged down into the details of syntax Yes, they requ

Nice, thank you! Might spin up a docker with it to keep running :) I guess not everything needs to live inside my IDE

The corporate veil is meant to protect the shareholders, not the executive/employees In theory at least, usually the CEO is legally responsible for the actions of the corporation. And all employees are accountable for their own actions

Totally fine for it to be local. Thank you for the fast reply :)

Very cool, thank you for sharing One thing that I miss, that I use a lot on HN, is the hide feature. It helps me clear the clutter of stuff that I either already read or am not going to read

Nice. The few db managers I’ve tried in VS Code are so awkward, creating files for queries and opening multiple panes that barely fit in the crowded IDE space It makes me wish for something like phpmyadmin or adminer

Very interesting! I wonder what that would look like Right now, roughly, the algorithm recursively divides the image by doing decimation (ie. picking every other pixel), and keeps the decimated pixels as a second image Not sure how that alg

Your tool also solves something that is a big frustration with spaces: they can’t be renamed There are a couple of tools for renaming them but they don’t work very well, at least not on apple silicon macs So with DockFlow you actually get t

Love it. I don't really use my dock at all, I keep it hidden, but it's such a great concept to separate contexts for different situations And writing this I realized that macOS does have "spaces", however they don't

I think it really depends on how you use it. Are you using an agent with it, or the chat directly? I've been pretty disappointed with Cursor and all the supported models. Sometimes it can be pretty good and convenient, because it'

Amazing insightful and thoughtful write up, thank you! Loved the 3d visualizations It reminds me of this thing I built some time ago while playing with recursive decimation to generate effects similar to fractals from any image You can play

The models feel pretty snappy when interacting with them directly via ollama, not sure about the TPS However I've also ran into 2 things: 1) most models don't support tools, sometimes it's hard to find a version of the model

Are you using it with aider? If so, how has your experience been?

Any agentic dev software you could recommend that runs well with local models? I’ve been using Cursor and I’m kind of disappointed. I get better results just going back and forth between the editor and ChatGPT I tried localforge and aider,

I was curious about the Coinbase listings, and wanted to be able to sort them, so I copied the data manually and made a simple sortable table here: https://openjam.ai/stupid_coral_852/raox30bmtp/0 (you can click t

It think they are in beta. I wished they had a managed Redis though For Postgres I ended up going with Neon (neon.tech), very happy with them so far. Super easy to setup and get up and running, also love being able to just easily see the da

Not sure what that use case is. Why would you need all of that? As an individual, if you are just trying to build a basic game with your kids you don't need to build a whole engine nor a world class technical team or a huge dataset You

Has anyone here read the book by Chip Huyen mentioned in the article? Curious to learn more about it, and if/how it's help you. Thanks
