Your explanation why Linux isn't the solution is actually a massive pro in favor of Linux. There's nothing special about Ubuntu that's holding you hostage and if you wanted to switch distros, you could do it in an afternoon.

A lot of normie voters care but they are at least one if not two generations removed from the median TikTok user. Generational divides can be pretty stark and it's clear that future generations increasingly don't care as much abou

I agree. But I'm just saying that #1 on the app store doesn't preclude something from being a fad and my guess is that in 1 month's time, no one is going to be talking about RedNote outside of Chinese communities.

I wonder when we'll reach a tipping point for the subscription hell that the world is moving towards. On the other hand, with the amount of consolidation and difficulty competing (especially with Lina Khan out) I'm not sure if tha

I think one of the big problems with Devin (and AI agents in general) is that they're only ever as good as they are. Sometimes their intelligence feels magical and they accomplish things within minutes that even mid level or senior sof

And in that same vein it makes sense not to sell because if they ever see another great idea 5-10 years down the line I'd assume they might want to get back together under the same name and publish again. Selling would preclude them fr

Syntax highlighting is just CSS. There's nothing stopping you from adding your own custom CSS to the code block which will prefix lines with the prompts.

I'm not sure about that. There are markdown rendering engines where you can specify the language of a codeblock and it will render with specific CSS based on the language. So you can do something like ```bash ... ``` and it will show t

The way I use LLMs a lot of the time is to simply let copilot complete the method parameters that I was already planning on typing or autocompleting the fields of a struct. It's barely a step over LSP/autocomplete tools but becaus

Theranos didn't have 10 different competitors doing the exact same thing. A new AI model which scores better on a random metric isn't going to suddenly make them the top model that everyone uses unless they're actually good.

The incentives are definitely there, but even CEOs and VCs know that if they cheat the tests just to get more investment, they're only cheating themselves. No one is liquidating within the next 5 years so either they end up getting cau

It's somewhat fair though. If there's a case that would cause errors for the system and it's a case that you're not supposed to handle, then a 400 error sounds perfect for that case. For example, if you have a service an

Not the mention the time trouble that Ding left himself in once again. This time Gukesh ended with almost a full hour over Ding. When you put yourself in a tough position, no matter how drawish it is in theory, you need to have enough time

I think a big part of this is that upgrading from iPhone 8 to 16 is such a huge jump that all the muscle memory that you've built up has changed. You might as well switch to an Android phone. I wonder how OP's opinion would change

This is an outlier. I met someone who was a millionaire working at Nvidia in 2018. That's not that uncommon working in tech. The stock has gone up about 30x since then. He's probably worth at least 20M if not more now. That's

The support needs of developers is generally higher than those of a messaging user. How often have you had to contact the support of a messaging app you use? Now think about how often you create a Github issue or PR for an open source repo.

In my experience, issues scale exponentially with scale. So handling 10x the traffic might mean 100x the potentially issues. Redundancy helps with that so when something inevitably fails, the architecture is able to automatically recover an
