It's not that it's not good enough. It's that the cheap models are already good enough. I want a daily driver but they are trying to sell me a Ferrari. It's cool, but I have no use for it. The term you are looking for is

To be honest, these frontier model releases have become boring for me. Opus 4.8 was already good enough for most of my use cases. I don't have any projects right now that I would use Fable for instead of Opus. So when I see announcemen

At my work we have basically banned "what" comments for blocks of code. JSDoc comments can still document what a function does at a high level but it should not go into implementation details unless they are important to anyone us

They had to point out the obvious because ARC-AGI-3 wasn't designed with that in mind for some reason.

I had Claude run a benchmark on scriptc vs node: https://github.com/EliasWatson/Primes/tree/typescript-script... Looking at the byte-array results (best case): scriptc is about 7.5x slower than Node 24, even

For exhaustive searches, a library like or-tools or clingo can speed things up a lot. But first you have to figure out how to express your problem declaratively.

A couple things off the top of my head: - You aren't forced to resolve rebase/merge conflicts immediately. You can switch branches halfway through resolving conflicts and then come back later and pick up where you left off. You ca

jj is very flexible when it comes to workflow. One thing to note is that commits don't have to have messages. What I tend to do is to run `jj new` frequently while I work on something and leave all of them without messages. Then when I

The DGX Spark is probably the best bang for your buck at $4k. It's slower than my 4090 but 128gb of GPU-usable memory is hard to find anywhere else at that price. It being an ARM processor does make it harder to install random AI proje

The issue is that you usually aren't buying the ebook. You are buying a license to access that ebook and they can revoke that license at any time. Maybe you're okay with that, but many people want to permanently have access to the

Yes, I agree that Monero is likely a better option. I am also a big fan of Nano because of its instant transactions and zero transaction fees. However it has the same privacy problem as Bitcoin. It would be interesting to see a hybrid of Na

I've been working on something just like that off and on for a couple months. It's a MUD where all the NPCs are controlled by LLMs that interact with the world with the same commands that players use. I got it to the point where t

I wonder how the latest version of Grok 3 would stack up to Gemini 2.5 Pro on the web dev arena leaderboard. They are still just showing the original early access model for some reason, despite there being API access to the latest model. I&

Google results have gotten so terrible over the years. I switched to Kagi long ago and haven't looked back. Whenever I use Google on another computer, I'm shocked by how awful the results are compared to Kagi. As for AI search, I

I'm working on something similar. I'm building a MUD with an LLM playing the role of GM. Currently it just controls NPCs, but I eventually want it to be able to modify the game rules in real time. My end goal is a world that hundr

It would be interesting to modify this for optimizing BrainF programs. It has a very simple instruction set and there are lots of example programs available. To avoid generating useless things like "++--", you could have the optim

I think you could produce the same effect without worrying about overdraw/sorting and without translucent materials: 1. Render the terrain to a separate buffer 2. Copy the terrain's depth buffer to the main depth buffer 3. Render

I disagree personally, but I don't use Obsidian like most people. The majority of my notes just have a couple sentences. I mainly make notes about new project ideas, cool things I find online (eg. a note for each new programming langua
