Beautiful laptop and then they stick a tiny 13" screen on there, I don't get it. 14" is the perfect size. Guess it just isn't the one for me.

Looking at linode, those prices get you an instance with 1Gb of ram and a mediocre CPU. So you are running all of your applications on that?

It's a good point, but I don't think the problem here is Claude. It's how you use it. We need to be guiding developers to not let Claude make decisions for them. It can help guide decisions, but ultimately one must perform

I have a smattering of books on Kindle, mostly fiction/novels. But the vast majority of my book conllection consists of non-fiction/textbooks and I recently switched to Booklore on my NAS. I have over 900 textbooks and can acces

Just wanted to say you put it really well, that's exactly how I feel.

I guess I was more referring to just using generative AI when learning new subjects and exploring new ideas. It's a really efficient tutor and/or sidekick who can either explain topics in more depth, find better sources, or help m

I find it a lot more useful to dive into bugs involving multiple layers and versions of 3rd party dependencies. Deep issues where when I see the answer I completely understand what it did to find it and what the problem was (so in essence

Agreed on your take on the parent, although I have to say I feel that AI has had the opposite effect for me. It has only accelerated learning quite significantly. In fact not only is learning more effective/efficient, I have more tim

A real business is simply one that makes money. Not some gatekeeping criteria presented by the ridiculous OP. Just because you took 7+ years to develop a business does not mean that all businesses require that or that it is the only way.

Don't get me wrong, git has some accidental complexity (as will any tool introduced, including what I am seeing with jj). But a lot of it is just incidental complexity. It doesn't matter how much lipstick you put on it, at the e

Except it's not an unrecoverable error. If you do it all it does is add that file to the working index. No commits are made and no harm is done. So no, I do not feel it's the same as a null pointer exception or type mismatch.

I stand corrected by this one scenario, but I’ve been using git for over a decade and never found that useful. Just don’t use checkout on a file path, there is no need.

It's not "wildly" different behavior based on the thing it's pointing to. In all 3 cases, the command is pointed at a commit and the behavior is the same. Once you know that branches/HEAD are just named pointers t

That is entirely dependent on your diet as a child. I know children that love bitter or sour/fermented foods. Not to mention they dislike things that are overly sweet. I wouldn't be surprised if all tastes are essentially "

This is already happening. But not everyone has access to the tools to protect against it.

This is not the only model. I assure you exploits are being found and taken advantage of without it, possibly even ones that this model is not even capable of detecting. Sounds like people here are advocating a return to security through o

It's fine, their moat is thin. Frontier models as a service isn't really in the best interest of anyone anyways. Only a matter of time.

I just use WireGuard to connect my local network. I see no point in throwing a middleman into the mix.

Maybe you mean mutation? State is inherently a part of functional purity. It's just handled explicitly instead of implicitly.

It may not involve a webview, but from what I can tell it definitely still is running JavaScript. Either way it doesn't matter. As someone who has used Windows in a significant way since the 90s, the taskbar and start menu are a buggy

Margins wouldn't drop because every consumer is going to vibe code their own apps. It's going to bring down the barrier for competition creating natural price pressure in the market. That is of course if all other factors end up

They measured 16 developers and called it a "study"? That is amusing. Not to mention it was conducted almost a year ago, the tools have already changed dramatically.

I should of used the term "equity" instead of "capital". I meant that the worlds largest companies would no longer be able to be owned by public equity and would only be available to those in the exclusive club of priva

by nightski 7mo ago
Well we’d go back to an era where private capital owns the world. The public would not be able to participate or benefit from the ownership of companies and share in the prosperity.

Even if AI knows everything and is basically sentient, we still need to understand these things to work with it. How can we prompt it reliably without understanding the subject matter for which we are prompting? If anything I consider fund

1 chatgpt query is a little misleading though. Let's see an 8 hour full bore claude code agent session. Or maybe running 3 agents for several hours a day.

by nightski 7mo ago
Right now with agents this is definitely going to continue to be the case. That said, at the end of the day engineers work with stakeholders to come up with a solution. I see no reason why an agent couldn't perform this role in the f

How would you prove that something was generated by AI yet did not include a watermark?
