For those unfamiliar, this is similar to taking a codebase and processing it with a tool like gitingest, which transforms the entire repository into a format suitable for LLMs, eabling contextual convos and queries about the code. The addit

50 words is strikingly low. You must lead an unusually quiet life, or perhaps you rely more on written communication. Do you work? If so, do you work mostly alone, or collaborate with others through text? I'm genuinely curious... it&#x

I think the term "software engineering" sometimes does more harm than good. Because we call it engineering, we tend to act like it's a rigid, well-defined discipline...like civil or mechanical engineering...where things have

Not sure what the problem is. Everyone starts somewhere, and I don't see this person pretending to be an expert. They're just sharing what they've learned so far. Identifying idioms—even as a beginner—is totally valid.

So I've been using the EnerGel 0.7 or 0.5 mm pens. I generally like them, but it bleeds a bit more than I'd like. Is there a pen with a similar feel and precision, but with ink that dries a bit faster?

Your careers page, which is excellent, appears to have a typo: > No need to revise algorithms and data structures before interviewing with us. It seems this should read: "No need to review algorithms and data structures before int

Well written. It's a rare pleasure to hear a discussion about LLMs grounded in real engineering, free from the fanciful notions often found in all the other spam out there.

Interesting, thanks for the details. I haven't played around with o1 enough yet. The kinds of tasks I had it do seemed to be performed just as well by 4o. I'm sure I just wasn't throwing enough at it.

Yep, totally get where you're coming from. Many people, myself included, have had a similar experience starting out. To push through the learning curve, you need a strong motivation--whether it's because you have to use the langua

This is an overly rigid view. "There comes a moment in life" can be used as a relatable, humanizing introduction, drawing readers into a shared experience or insight. It doesn't necessarily lead to pretentiousness—what matter

Looks promising, and I could use some help organizing my own email. But here's a question: is there a risk that people will take advantage of a free trial for a one-time cleanup, and then not see the need for an ongoing subscription? I

I agree. For novels, digital works well—I have hundreds of books on my Kindle. But recently, while studying a math book, I bought the paperback for exactly the reason you mentioned.

At first, I thought, “Wow, if companies can start as nonprofits and later switch to for-profit, they’ll exploit the system.” But the more I learned about the chaos at OpenAI, the more I realized the opposite is true. Companies will steer cl

No, because when prosecutors offer a light sentence to a secondary criminal in a conspiracy, it's usually a strategic decision to secure cooperation in prosecuting the main target. It wouldn't make sense that a lighter sentence fo

Terrible takes notwithstanding, of which there are many, the issue I see with such arguments is that it's always possible to find legal violations that technically justify prosecution or imprisonment. However, the legal system only fun

This is what I've been using for a while now as well. I wasn't aware of the telemetry in the CLI, as mentioned in another reply. That's something I'll need to look into.
