I still remember the massive shift to SDRP and HDRP. Honestly, now in retrospect, almost a decade later, I think it was clearly done wrong. It was a mess, and switching over was a multi-week procedure for anything more than a hello world pr

I think you might be answering to a different person or misunderstanding what I said but you are right that just as I don’t have an intuition for where the acuity shows up in the corpus, I don’t think Claude does either
34.
by tymscar 7mo ago
Thats cool. I do wonder where that extra acuity you get from 1% more shows up in practice. I hate how I have basically no way to intuitively tell that because of how much of a black box the system is

Or you could just have a cli that does that, no MCP needed
36.
by tymscar 7mo ago
No? You can just have env vars
37.
by tymscar 7mo ago
So basically the best way to use MCP is not to use it at all and just call the APIs directly or through a CLI. If those dont exist then wrapping the MCP into a CLI is the second best thing. Makes you wonder whats the point of MCP

Love the idea, but please add some demo screenshots on GitHub. All UI tools should

Are they multipliers when you do less of it and offload more of it to the same tool everyone else uses?

by tymscar 9mo ago
I agree, however there you don’t compare technical knowledge alone, you also compare managerial skills. With LLMs its admittedly a bit closer to doing it yourself because the feedback loop is much tighter

by tymscar 9mo ago
I do think your datasettes work is fantastic and I genuinely hope you take my previous message the right way. I’m not saying you do something bad, quite the opposite, I feel like we need more of you and I’m afraid because of LLMs we get les

I think you are right in saying that there is some deep intuition that takes months, if not years, to hone about current models, however, the intuition some who did nothing but talk and use LLMs nonstop two years ago would be just as good t

Its one of the main reasons why I buy on steam. Makes games much more engaging, especially for me because I prefer hard action games with little to no story.

Honestly it’s very much worth it! Look into this https://hexdocs.pm/hexdocs_offline/index.html

Yeah, so DDR5 is 8GT and GDDR7 is 32GT. Bus width is 64 vs 384. That already makes the VRAM 4*6 (24) times faster. You can add more channels, sure, but each channel makes it less and less likely for you to boot. Look at modern AM5 strugglin

by tymscar 10mo ago
DDR5 is a couple of orders of magnitude slower than really good vram. That’s one big reason.

Thank you! I have not played around with Elixir just yet, sadly, so I can't help there, I'm afraid.

Thank you! TIL

You're right, but loads of times I just left that there because I probably did something more involved in the map that I ended up deleting later without realising.

You most likely asked an AI for this. They always think there is an `if` keyword in case statements in Gleam. There isn't one, sadly. EDIT: I am wrong. Apparently there are, but it's a bit of a strange thing where they can only be

I was also pretty surprised about the performance. It's not C, but it's so much faster than I'd guessed. I do agree the language server is great. And it works in basically any IDE, which is another huge bonus. With regards to

by tymscar 10mo ago
I actually agree. I don’t even use them in my private code. I will look into removing them from my blog!

Hey. I’m glad you got it working. I didn’t intend it to be a step-by-step tutorial, more like a “hey, this is how I solved it”, with some details like the configs in case you want to follow along. And yes, the website itself still does not

I guess at the end of the day it was a tradeoff we had to take for the lack of a better alternative back then

Oh, I guarantee you that this has not been touched by any AI. I used to use emdashes all the time, then people thought those were AI telltale signs, so I stopped. I loved making lists. Same thing. Now I’m not allowed to say “key detail”??
