Hi, I'm excited. I'm really wondering if you'll do such an excellent job like dang is doing. This is a really special community, and now it's in your hands as well.

I still don't understand what Vibe Coding is. "I'll use ChatGPT/Claude instead of StackOverflow" doesn't sound like Vibe Coding to me. More like someone who can't code instructing "i want"'s

It's interesting that they noticed it right in the vicinity of the LHC, maybe this hints at some kind of leak? The one in my garden always watches me through the window then I turn on the vacuum, so maybe it's feeling some kind of

You should know that this response was after a 25k token discussion, where it had clearly elaborated its point of view and I was offering simpler alternatives which it could have accepted. ChatGPT would certainly have praised me as a king o

But you are aware that their limited context length just won't be able to deal with this? That's like saying that you're judging a sedan by its capability of performing the job of a truck. Wait, you were being sarcastic?

My Windows 11 C:\ no longer has a `Documents and Settings`. It still works, though. Windows 8 has it as a hidden junction targeting C:\Users, so it was already deprecated there.

Gemini is the only model which tells me when it's a good time to stop chatting because either it can't find a solution or because it dislikes my solution (when I actively want to neglect security). And the context length is just a

One of the worst thing about ChatGPT / Claude is that if you're chatting for too long, they suddenly forget everything due to the limited context length. Google seems to have understood how important a long context length is and w

An LLM is like a mouse. You no longer have the console as the primary interface, but a GUI, which 99.9+% of computer users control via a mouse. You no longer have the screen as the primary interface, but an AUI, which 99.9+% of computer use
