No, trying stuff out is the valuable process. How I search for information changed (dramatically) in the last 20 years I've been programming. My intuition about how programs work is still relevant - you'll still see graybeards say

I constantly see top models (opus 4.5, gemini 3) get a stroke mid task - they will solve the problem correctly in one place, or have a correct solution that needs to be reapplied in context - and then completely miss the mark in another pla

I don't think the analogy holds up at all. A doctor usually has a very small time window to deal with your problem and then switches to the next patient. If I'm working on your project I'm usually dedicated to it 8 hours a da

I'd take the other side for most of these - Nvidia one is too vague (some could argue it's already seeing "heavy competition" from Google and other players in the space) but something more concrete - I doubt they will fa

OK nice to know. Don't find this limiting for my flow but will keep in mind if I decide to give JJ a try.

Build cache, packages and a few of other things get messed up when switching branches - if you need to do a "quick bug-fix and get back into the main thing" worktrees are really nice.

So how is this different from git worktrees exactly ?

I recently bought their cloud fiber gateway and two in wall wifi 7 access points because I'm setting up a network in my new apartment and hear this multiple times. Honestly they are nothing like Apple - like just look at their mobile a

Apple is going to be even more profitable in the consumer space because of RAM prices ? I feel like they are the only player to have the supply chain locked down enough to not get caught off guard, have good prices locked in enough in advan

There are ecosystems that have package managers but also well developed first party packages. In .NET you can cover a lot of use cases simply using Microsoft libraries and even a lot of OSS not directly a part of Microsoft org maintained by

Not really - 3.5 was the first model where I could actually use it to vibe through CRUD without it vasting more time than it saves, I actually used it to deliver a MVP on a side gig I was working on. GPT 4 was nowhere near as useful at the

This was true since Claude Sonnet 3.5, so over a year now. I was early on the LLM train building RAG tools and prototypes in the company I was working at the time, but pre Claude 3.5 all the models were just a complete waste of time for cod

You can't build large ML models without swaths of data, and GDPR is the antitheses of collecting data. Therefore countries/companies that don't have to abide by it are at an obvious advantage. If anything this is coming from

It tells me that the benchmark is probably leaking into training data, and going to the benchmark site : > Model was published after the competition date, making contamination possible. Aside from eval on most of these benchmarks being s

That's such a bad take after reading the article. If you're going to write a system that preallocates and is based on hard assumptions about max size - the panic/unwrap approach is reasonable. The config bug reaching prod wit

600€ is top I would pay for this, and even then the HDMI 2.0 sucks. I get that it's a linux/amd issue with HDMI licensing but it still sucks for a media center when most TVs these days support 4k/120 VRR. I really like the co

Why would it be strange that there are steam decks that sit unused ? I have a switch and a PS 5 that go untouched for months (even with a 4 year old who I occasionally let play some games). I think most people in my friend group are similar

And the alternative without async-await is ? blocking the event loop or the callback pyramid. Node is one place where async-await has zero counter arguments and every alternative is strictly worse.

I would say it's more than immutability - it's the "feel" of working with values. I've worked with at least 6 languages professionally and likely more for personal projects over last 20 years. I can say that Clojure

Are you reading what I am saying ? 100$ for distribution access on the store is reasonable. Side-loading prevention is shit. Both can be true at the same time.

by rafaelmn 1y ago
Yes that is annoying - I hate Apple anti side loading stance. But that still doesn't make 100$ fee to apply for distribution/integration with their ecosystem unreasonable.

> Then why does a multi-trillion dollar conglomerate need that pittance from a million ordinary people? Because the store gets spammed by million of bot applications ? Having a small fee for store review is probably a decent noise floor.
