Apparently nobody bothered to stop and consider how little sense this article makes, if the comments are any indication.

As soon as they started talking about celebrities and it being a fashion statement they lost me on this being a real resurgence. For about a month we had videos of people getting in fist fights over fucking Stanley tumblers of all things, t

I've got a fairly cheap pair of Soundcores and I use an Android phone. Never really had a problem. Pair them once and they reconnect flawlessly, I only have to charge the battery case like once a month, and the earbuds themselves last

I don't have a dog in this fight... but no. Scraping publicly available content is not and has never been a copyright violation. As someone else pointed out in this thread, search engines wouldn't exist if that was the case. But e

It's more cultural than anything. 90% of the work done in those other fields is excel, PowerPoint, and Visio. Wouldn't be hard to convert to text and images in a repo. Though I'm sure the planning tools will get better. One o

In this same vein, plan mode is a trap. It makes you feel like you're actually engineering a solution. Like you're making measured choices about implementation details. You're not, your just vibe coding with extra steps. I co

A couple of guys at work have been raving about Claude. How quick they get stuff done, how great the code is, how working any other way is a waste of time. I just had the misfortune today to wade into one of their codebases. It's 60k l

A relatively small service that should be deployable independent of the rest of your system. They're usually event driven. But 99% if the time people think "it's in a container" means it's a microservice. So inste

To each their own. Anything that frees people from the misery of JavaScript and front end frameworks is a good thing in my book.

Yeah it's really funny to watch. They'll get stuck in a specific method call or a specific import. Even if you tell them to read the docs. Doesn't matter if there's a better approach, or that method only exists for some

There's extraction for reuse and then theres extraction for readability/maintainability. The second largely comes down to personal taste. I personally tend to lose the signal in the noise, so it's easy for me to follow the lo

Had the same problem with a Python project. Just for the hell of it I tried to have it implement a simple version of a proxy I've made in the past. What was finally produced "technically" worked, but it was a mess. It suppres

It didn't even get out of the introduction really. They described the problem as they see it, started to layout a solution, and then just fucked off. There should have been a whole example implementation showing each piece for the arti

Fuck is this really where we're at. People claiming policies to prevent LLM use is because they want to be able to judge people. Pretty soon we're gonna see arguments that its discriminatory.

Are people really so helplessly dependent on LLMs they can't post on a damn forum without asking the LLM for permission...

Exactly. That's why the comment was seemed arranged to me. For the most part, there's gamers/editors and a few other groups who need a lot of horsepower. They're generally gonna have decent hardware. Then there's ev

Mitchell Hashimoto (developer of Ghostty) talks about Zig a lot. Ghostty is written in it, and he seems to love it. The churn doesn't seem to bother him at all. I asked him about in a thread a while back: https://news.ycombi

I worked as a tutor all through my engineering degree, and my brother teaches math at a state school. I think the concerns are warranted. It's hard enough to get students to put in the effort, and now offloading the work is insanely ea

Its frustrating because LLMs can actually be a fantastic learning tool. Being able to bounce ideas and explore things conversationally is really useful (at least to me), but the temptation to just have it do shit for you must be overwhelmin

LLM companies are incentives for the opposite. They don't want you to get the best outcome as quickly (or with as few tokens) as possible. They want to keep you on the slot machine. They want to maximize token use while giving just goo

Speed limits are unenforceable. You'll never catch everyone speeding so why even bother trying.

Gonna see a lot more of this in the coming years. The real cost of LLM tools has a delay. Devs don't tend to notice it until they're neck deep in code then don't understand, swearing the next prompt will get them out. CEOs wo
