I can confirm that pretty much anything that can be done in VSCode can be done in Emacs from my seven yeas of experience. I guess the only hurdle would be having to spend some time to configure some things, though for the most part installi

I completely see the benefit for this strategy. Defaulting to something like this would seem to inflate costs though, as a tradeoff for time. I know certain LLM usages can be pretty pricy. I hope that something like this doesn't become

I must say, without hesitation and doubt, that Claud 4 is my most important tool. I literally feel like I have the intelligence of the entire human race at my fingertips, giddily awaiting a caress from the tips of my fingertips. I honestly

There's the software factory hypothesis though that states that LLMs will bring down the level of skill required to produce software, reducing the skill bar required to produce the same software (i.e. automation leads to SWE being like

I imagine this is part of Microsoft's plan to the vscode forks: open sourcing copilot to rally developers round it, along with pushing premium closed sourced extensions, which will almost definitely be incompatible with the forks.

I'm curious what are others priors when reading benchmark scores. Obviously with immense funding at stakes, companies have every incentive to game the benchmarks, and the loss of goodwill from gaming the system doesn't appear to h

And if you were to attach a debugger to a SOTA LLM, give it a compute environment, have it constantly redo work when CI fails, I can easily imagine each of these PRs burning hundreds of dollars and still have a good chance at failing the ta

Clojure is alive and well. It may be out of its peak hype but it's cruising down the plateau of productivity.

I'm sure there's many people out there who could say that they hardly use AI but that crypto has made them lots of money. At the end of the day searching work documents and talking with computers is only desirable inasmuch as they

What happens to conversation in this case? When groups of people are trained to use LLMs as a crutch for thinking, what happens when people get together and need to discuss something. I feel like the averageness of the thinking would get co

I feel things get even worse when you use a more niche language. I get extremely disappointed any time I try to get it do anything useful in Clojure. Even as a search engine, especially when asking it about libraries, these tools completely

I always imagined that these $10/mo plans are essentially loss leaders and that in the long run, the price should be much higher. I'm not even sure if that $100/mo plan pays for its underlying costs.

I can imagine that most LLMs, if you ask it to find a security vulnerability in a given piece of code, will make something up completely out of the air. I've (mistakenly) sent valid code with an unrelated error and to this day I get no

Also, there's the fact that recreating large software projects still will require highly skilled labor which will be thoroughly out of reach of the future's vide-native coders, reducing the likelihood of competition to come up.

I don't even think you have to be on the frontier for LLMs to lose most of their effectiveness. Large legacy codebases with deeply ingrained tribal knowledge and loads of idiosyncrasies and inconsistencies will do the trick. Sad how mo

I would say that it's sad that LLMs are being used for mass surveillance, and such applications are things no government should be proud of deploying. And it's things like this that are ripe to come to other countries. An interest

I definitely associate negative emotions with my doomscrolling behavior. Angst is the best word I can find to describe the feeling. For me it usually focuses around some major news cycle (war, politics, catastrophes, etc.).
