To be fair, Gary Marcus pioneered the "LLMs will never make it" genre of complaining. Everyone else is derivative [1]. Let the man have his victory lap. He's been losing arguments for 5 years straight at this point. [1] Due c

There was a greater awareness of exactly what I'd written. By definition, I would not have written those bugs in, as long as I had known edge cases in my mind. Lapses of judgement and syntax errors happen, but they're easier to sp

How do you maintain high confidence in the code it generates ? My current bottleneck is having to review the huge amounts of code that these models spit out. I do TDD, use auto-linting and type-checking.... but the model makes insidious cha

Cursor + Claude 4 = best quality + UX balance. Pay up for 20/month subscription. Cursor imports in your VSCode setup. Setting it up should be trivial. Use Agent mode. Use it in a preexisting repo. You're off the races. There is a

This is a new phenomenon. I moved places after the FARE act, and for the first time, we were offered a 24 month lease. May be a one off anecdote. But, it's a data point.

Thanks for adding context. On the balance, I think it's a good bill. Like tariffs, all taxes are eventually paid by the customer. But landlords are more capable of applying price pressure on brokers than random renters. It incentivizes

NYC is deceptive. It's dense, so you don't realize you're crossing a city's worth of people in a 10 minute walk. Median studios in Beverly hills being $6k wouldn't surprise anyone. The Tribeca-Greenwich-West village

The issue is their track record. No one believes election campaign promises. Bloomberg is a centi-billionaire with a track record of loving the free market. His mayoral terms were known for fiscal discipline (vs social welfare spending), ha

Some of it has to do with the FARE bill making broker fees illegal. That should account for a 5% of the increase. NYC has negligible vacancy rates and airbnbs are already illegal. Sounds like a supply problem. The supply problem gets cleare

If the problem is in our midst, we must acknowledge it. Local boards in blue cities (California in particular) have blocked new housing for decades using every tool at their disposal. Places that lean left have anomalous rent growth. Places

I don't agree with the bill, but I empathize with the motivation. Infamously in the US, the IRS knows all. In India, the IRS runs blind. Here, tax evasion is the norm with only 2.2% of the population paying income tax. > expanded sc

There is no such thing for tech companies. Not sure where you heard about it. Only non-profits are allowed to skip the lotteries. I've seen it apply to universities and hospitals, but never to a for-profit tech company,

Works out for Google and the C-suite. Horrible for the employees. These fake-acquisitions are effectively arbitrage against employees, who get left holding nothing. Should be illegal and regulated. Not sure how the VCs get their cut. I&#x27

No, I meant requirements. Stated otherwise: "Sufficiently advanced requirements are indistinguishable from code". Abstracted requirements define outcomes. Fine-grained requirements define code.

Isn't this the problem with all no-code / low-code platforms ? Code is merely the leanest human-readable representation for loss-less specification of requirements. We're seeing this same pattern with 'K8s YAMLs' an

It is useful if you keep swapping things out. Langchain's wrappers stay stable and up-to-date because of their popularity. In production, it's ideal startups that undergo a lot of flux. I would suggest against using their orchestr

It's meant to signify a step change. Order of magnitude change = no amount of incremental changes would make up for it. In common conversation, the multiplier can vary from 2x - 10x. In context of some algorithms, order of magnitudes

It works both ways. Yes, it's supportive and helps you stay locked in. But it also serves as a great frustration lightning rod. I enjoy being an unsavory person to the LLM when it behaves like a buffoon. Sometimes you need a pressure r

What's the strictest type of markdown that can be serialized into a yaml/json ? If a strict subset can have 2-way-conversion to json through yaml, then markdown can be an effective json editor for the lay person.
