the entire git page is also clearly generated by Claude or ChatGPT. The headers and the emojis in tables give it away.

I think because so many blogs, resources, textbooks etc focus on scale, developers are biased into thinking that they need to build for scale. Which is wrong a lot of the time! You need to build what is needed. If only 10 people use your pr

what topics did you make contributions to? From what I understand, it's mostly political and/or controversial topics that have this issue.

agreed. they'll make the most sense in dense cities like NYC where having a car is more inconvenient because you have to worry about parking.

I use it maybe once a week or every other week. It's maybe 10$ more than if I'd go pick it up myself, which isn't worth it if I'm ordering a burrito, but if I order for me and my fiance, then I'm usually getting lik

There's more money to be made right now in selling courses than actually using the LLM well. So these guys pretend that they found all these ways to make agents, and they market it and people buy the course

But in this case there's a multi million dollar company on the line, it seems appropriate.

Why didn't the author sue? Feels like this is a case where if what he says is true then that's what litigation is for, no?

But even with AG-UI,CopilotKit is a paid service. Everyone's trying to do vendor lock in, it's really annoying. They make the dev experience worse and you have to pay for it? It's like every langcrap service out there

agree. Thing is, for those who paid attention to the last chatBot hype cycle, we already knew this. Look at how Google Assistant was portrayed back in 2016. People thought you'd be buying starbucks via the chat. Turns out the starbucks

but you could. For that example, you could just use a much cheaper model since it's not that complicated a question, and just pass the entire article. Just use gemini flash for example. Models will only get cheaper and context windows

Yeah 100% Almost all tool calls would result in rag. Rag is dead just means rolling out your own search and manually injecting results into context is dead (just use tools). It means the chunking techniques are dead.

I saw a coworker using chatGPT the other day - they were in marketing, and trying to access a dashboard. One of the filters used a list of IDs, sperated by commas. I watched as she repeatedly copied a list of IDs from a spreadsheet into cha

There's a Mulla Nasrudin joke that's sort of relevant here: Nasrudin is on a flight, when suddenly the pilot comes on the intercom, saying, "Passengers, we apologize, but we have experienced an engine burn-out. The plane can

100% this. remote work is great for some people, but it's definitely taken advantage by a others. And those who take advantage ruin it for everybody. I literally have friends who have bragged about how good their mouse jiggler is.

Yeah, i agree with thinking of things as a single agent + tools. From the perspective of the agent, whether the tools are deterministic functions, or agents themselves, is irrelevant.

depends for what. For autocompleting simple functions (string manipulation, function definitions, etc), the quality bar is pretty easy to hit, and speed is important. If you're just vibe coding, then yeah, you want quality. But if you

How does Claude Code handle editing multiple files? My understanding is that it's CLI based, so it edits a bunch of files on it's own, so how do you accept/reject and rollback changes?

the goal of the major AI labs is to create AGI. The net utility of AGI is at least on the level of electricity, or the steam engine. It's debatable whether or not they'll achieve that, but if you actually look at what the goal is,

yeah, it's pretty easy to see how openai could steal those high paying queries from Google, if they continue growing at this rate.

I had to break a lease on an apartment recently. The apartment was built in 2023 or 2024, marketed as a luxury apartment. We had no hot water for a month because they used a couple centralized tankless water heaters, and we happened to be t

I went into computer science because I liked the puzzle aspect of it. In highschool, I took a computer class and all we did was solve programming competition questions, and I loved it. Software engineering is very different. There's a

I think there are a few solutions. Having a property tax that goes higher the more properties you have would be a good one (it could be exempt for bigger apartment blocs if that was an issue)

yeah, having homes available to rent is pretty important

by peab 1y ago
Yeah, we definitely still need homes to be available for rent. If you move a lot, or want to be able to move easily and explore different cities or even neighborhoods within a city, renting is way easier than if you'd have to go throug

Yeah definitely. We tried going off the tourist path a bit, but since we didn't have that much time there, and know no japanese, it isn't super easy to do figure out where to go / what to do.
