But here's the thing: learning Android dev is nothing like "learning" to use an LLM. Obviously there are tons of tools and systems building up around LLMs, and I don't intend to minimize that, but at the end of the day,

PCIe cards would indeed be useless for AI unless Apple supports third-party GPUs, but there are certainly some pro creators that would still prefer to have them. I myself work in large-template film/game scoring and while we all love o

My theory is that they're going to release a new Mac Pro that's about half the size of the current one. Enough space for some PCIe slots, but otherwise smaller given the enormous amount of wasted space in that thing since moving f

The article specifically talks about B2B and MDM-like features. The "average consumer" isn't the point here -- rather, governments, defense, high-security corporations, etc.

I always try and keep in mind that we typically think of software as having three versions -- alpha, beta, and release -- but for it's considered even kind of "finished." In my own work, this often looks like writing the quic

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but it absolutely is. The pro-Suno vs anti-Suno discussions are just as heated as those in programming.

I'm so tired of this kind of design -- that basic dev tool splash page/Tailwind-y/Shadcdn UI thing that's just seemingly everywhere nowadays. It's so basic and tired, like Material Design without any of the little b

We are very similar, you and I, and I'm completely with you on all of this.

I don't see enough people talking about this side of things. Couldn't agree more.

Fully disagree. First, I question the value of something merely enduring. But that aside, implicit in what you're saying here is that the "skill of the swing," so to speak, doesn't matter, whereas only the quantity of sw

I'm with you. I've said it before, but: LLMs have made clear who does things for the process, and who does things for the result (obviously this is a spectrum, hardly anyone is 100% on either end). The amount of people who apparen

To expand on this: LLMs are indeed currently an iterative improvement. I've found a few good use-cases for them. They're not nothing. But at the moment, they are nowhere near the "massive productivity multiplier" they&

Of course it's plagiarized. Perhaps not directly from the CAD software in question, but when you use an LLM, you are by definition plagiarizing by way of the data it was trained on.

Not at all. It can grab git repos (as well as work with other VCSs). There's just a lot of stuff on GitHub, hence your impression.

I felt this way as well until very recently. Because Ruby actually commits to the whole "everything is an object" bit in an exceptionally clean way, it does duck typing extremely well -- if you squint, the fact that an object&#x
