It's certainly a good idea to train a neural network to find good query plans but... an LLM??

I believe the important part was "on the server".

I stand corrected, and I'm glad i was wrong.

"Freedom" is a valuable concept but a poor model for understanding behavior. I'd support that if there were no business incentive to spend money and research to influence people into taking the wrong decisions.

Since the dawn of industry, people have been amazed by the new possibilities and how that would affect society once it's evenly distributed. Technical progress has been going on, percolating in every places and down to every person. Ye

Another site tricking users willing to look at the code into starring the repo instead. How desperate do you need to be to resort to this?

Did you write more about that experience somewhere? This seems to corroborate my feeling that aptitude with language is a very poor proxy for intelligence, although it's often used as one. My own experience is that I'm less strugg

The issue is not that Linux lacks a central authority that holds some encryption keys and controls what software you can run. The issue is that you should not run any software from a source that can't be trusted. When we used to run on

Interesting, thank you. Are you aware of any quantitative data to back up the claim that llms are more performant in code mode than mcp mode? Not that i doubt it, but I'm curious about how big of a difference it can make.

What do you mean "as code mode"?

Very few "user facing" applications will have to deal with real users any longer. From an author's point of view let's admit that it will make things easier.

Companies do not promote anyone. People do. For all kinds of reason that are more personal/politics as the organization gets larger.

The use case they have in mind may be screenshots triggered by another app, not by the user.

If you find this interesting, don't wait for a random blogpost to appear by chance on HN, go read some manage today!

Something I've read on HN once, and that nailed it for me: in the middle of the Pacific you are further away from any possible rescue than if you were on the ISS.

How LLMs accelerated Cloudy development? not by typing code for me(cloudywithachanceoflatency.net)

An observation from my own workflow: the gain from doing what I know how to do already is nothing compared to the gain from redefining what a modern app has to be.

You don't measure tooling quality with devs' enjoyment, though, but with what the tools make possible. Technical merit is not correlated to popularity, after all.

Did you maybe confuse bonsai with a CSS library? How to build web UI != How to style HTML. Bonsai solves a different problem.

What do you mean? What's the connection with the product teams? Why would product teams care what low level web framework is used?

The docs directory happen to be missing, therefore the links to the quick guide and to "thinking in bonsai" pages from the readme are broken. Also, I'm wondering how does bonsai-web update the DOM, is it via direct modificati

I wouldn't use gmap as a benchmark for up to date POIs, at least in some European countries. And I'm not talking about inaccurate opening times; but about places that closed during Covid but are still on the map.

What do you mean "express calling"? You mean calling the former C versions of the functions not yet ported, while asserting their behavior?

by rixed 2mo ago
No indeed I'm not a fan. I find it brittle and arbitrary for data values especially; that also makes automatic code generation and edition harder, for no good reason. But that's not an important consideration either way.

I'm the opposite: when landing in a programming language site I want to know the user case the authors had in mind, the memory model, the type system, the compilation targets, the data layout, the control structures, and only at the en

"Bureaucracy" has been an entire field of study for more than a century at that point. But WMF is not bureaucracy any more than the FIFA is bureaucracy. It is curruption; That of the stated ideals of the origin: non profit, decent

Step back, and think about the fact that in 2026, the most regarded news site in tech is featuring a tool to build the simplest of UI elements.
