The part of this that really makes me think is when you thought "I don't think that's going to work" about him going on the hike. That's really tough. In the past there have been times I didn't speak up about a

Wow. I thought the metaphor was stupid when I was taught this in college, and only now, decades later, I find out Dijkstra agreed.

In my experience, this was the limitation we ran into with this approach. If you have a large API this will blow up your context. I have had the best luck with hand-crafted tools that pre-digest your API so you don't have to waste toke

A lot of products use AWS because "we could build redundancy and multi-region if we need it" and then never build it.

To answer your question honestly, the reason is because "healthy" isn't a binary. There certainly are dogs that are so unhealthy they should not be bred. But on the other hand, there is no world in which all dogs are 100% hea

The genetics of inbreeding are extremely well-understood. Dog pedigrees are well tracked, and there are tools you can use to assist in preventing inbreeding. Irresponsible breeders give responsible breeders a bad name. Some breeders are eve

Humans encounter massive numbers of problems in their experience that informs their problem solving. The same is true of LLM. LLMs do not actually have all their training data memorized. I’m not sure what your basis is for saying “LLMs fail

In my opinion a major weakness in how people reason about this issue is that they describe solving problems as EITHER recall of an existing solution OR creative problem solving. Sure it is possible for a specific solution to be recalled, bu

General awareness of if what you’re doing is successfully getting stuff out of your teeth beats following a guiding principle and trusting it’s automatically working.

Been using Bruno. It’s good, only complaint is it has some dark mode quirks.

Correct. The problem of poor code review is not new and it is not unique to LLMs.

A lot of people seem to equate using AI tools and deploying code that you don’t understand. All code should be fully understood by the person using the AI tool, then again by the reviewer. The productivity benefit of these tools is still ma

SSL benefits a user entering a password on a public network. A MITM attack against your renewal does not expose your private key. I don’t think that causes the harm the article suggests.

Probably not the first comment to this end, but I have been using Kagi for the last few months and it’s good. Past attempts to use other search engines didn’t last long because of search quality but Kagi is good enough as long as I don’t ex

It’s really easy to generalize. Some smart people write simple, maintainable code. Some smart people find it fun to over-complicate. Neither is useful as a generalization in my opinion.
