LLMs will not abstract away framework choice. They will concrete it away. React is for humans. You'll know we're out of the AI stoneage when coding models just generate direct machine instruction, because their output won't n

Doesn't surprise me. davinci-002 was better than davinci-003. The core breakthrough has been done, stuff's just shifting around now.

Postgres for agents, of course! It makes too much sense.

What is it about streaming specifically that necessitates this? Am I missing something obvious?

Would've been helpful if they tried to make the code as close as possible, e.g. use the same struct (and var name) for the password requirements.

I know Node has the new permissions model thing, but why can’t this be as easy as blocking all fs access above cwd? I’d love a global Node setting for this.

Less interested in interpretation, more interested in the fact that lots of people have the same nightmares (squishy brakes, class test and you haven't been to school in decades, etc.). Here's one - I desperately need to make a ph

Yeah I have the squishy/very soft/not really working brake nightmare.

Never met him personally, but one of his companies tried to recruit me for a database migration project. Part of the interview process included responding to the question "I enjoy having sex with people I hardly know" on a scale f

Was just about to post this - thought I was neurotic for taping over LED displays in the 2000s. My sight and hearing get annoyingly sensitive when I'm in bed at night.

No way, sorry. The bug you're trying to squash isn't complicated enough if print statements are as valuable as a debugger. And I get what you're after - this is coming from someone who regularly uses `grep` to answer question

I do consulting, I'm constantly scouting clients. Right around November 2022 something very stark happened. I went from fighting off prospects with a stick, to crickets, almost over night. I deal mostly with startups and mid-size compa

That would be Nest , not Next . A true abomination.

I don't think anyone who's run Acronis would be surprised at this. The whole thing feels clunky. I had a weird issue where it would crash my Dante audio setup every time it kicked off a backup.

Unaccounted for: the failure scenario. You had integrity, put in the work, and failed. Life is brutal - anyone can respect your effort. You tried to be the next Paris, and failed. You look like a fucking clown.

I see you’re also having trouble coping with this. Fact is, “that” internet is simply gone.

This makes sense in principle, but then how do you do technical evaluation? I'm generally most interested in hearing the candidate think out loud about the problem, and explain their approach. LLMs do the "thinking", and also

I think Zoom throws up a consent screen. Obviously if it's some 3rd party thing that joins the call as a recorder, you don't get that. This is one of those obvious but subtly inappropriate things that just kind of gets foisted on

With DNS over UDP, you have plausible deniability that you didn't actually make the request. With DNS over HTTP(S), you don't. Agree with the general claim that anything "S" could be a power grab by a single peeper. Goog
