Lots of really silly people love to compare LLMs to compilers. "You don't look at the compiled code either" and "Back in the day, people also had negative reactions to compilers and wanted to keep writing assembly by han

Yes.. this happened recently. I basically always use auto mode, and when I asked it why it kept editing code with python, it explained that this is part of its prompt when auto mode is turned on. I can only assume that's because their

I was just talking about this the other day. When would I want autonomous driving? For longer trips. Where do those happen? On the motorway where driving is mostly straight and simple. When on the motorway, my Tesla's lane assist gives

The developer is great. The game isn't.

I just chose to use an editor whose very architecture doesn't require nonsense like this so the editor doesn't freeze on me.

That sounds cool, but it's either a handcrafted world (if NMS has those) or pure luck. If it's the latter, then it can't have any depth. At best it can have some procedurally generated content that's going to be somethin

It's been years since I last played it, but when I did I finally did so for a while until I finally found myself at a space station with other players and whatnot. And some random dude just gives me something like tens and tens of mill

I've not had disputes worth that much in nearly 40 years on this earth. Makes me wonder whether this is just some exaggerated nonsense. The article is certainly written by an LLM.

I was forced to work with IBM closely for years. That has led me to believe it's the single most institutionally incompetent company in the world. If they ever do anything well it's pure coincidence and most likely due to some sin

I don't see how this can be so difficult to understand. If the second word in my first sentence were misspelled, does that make every other word or letter that comes after wrong?

Sure. And I'm sure that their users will take kindly to being banned with prejudice and without recourse. By adopting this policy they are committing to policing it and acting as judges. And at some point someone will be banned that sh

Well, that's their prerogative, I guess. But the burden of proof will be on them, of course. They can't expect users to prove a negative. There are simple tells that would reveal a lot of projects. Claude Code's moronic defau

I think if you're suggesting that Steve Yegge somehow invented having agents collaborate, you're way off base. People started talking about agents collaborating very, very early on, and people have been doing experiments like this

Also famously terrible. If not for the walled garden and the fact that anthropic can take away our ability to use custom harnesses any day, I would not be using CC. Given some of the features they add I've also started to suspect that

Everything Steve yegge has done has been trash. That's why nobody is talking about beads or gas town. It was clear even in the beginning that it was a borderline AI-psychosis-fueled trash fire.

There's a good way and a bad way to use tools. My suggestions were based on my extensive usage of the tools in question.

It has to be both. You can lay things out in memory so they are tightly packed together and thus ostensibly cache efficient but that doesn't help you if you index into that data structure in such a way that every new index loads a new

Stop using compaction. Stop treating sessions as something you keep alive for weeks. Set up a proper workflow for handing off work and start handing off well before maximum context is hit. It's less efficient, slower and more costly to

But push is not for use in production? It's for development. You generate a single custom migration that sets strict, apply it, and then you can use push as you want (during development, not for deploying actual changes to your databas

But only just. It doesn't really replace graph databases. It's mostly a slightly more convenient ways to write certain kinds of queries, but it doesn't come with anything else you might expect from a graph database.

Unfortunately AGE is very immature and optimized even simple traversal queries rather poorly.

You can output assembly with any toolchain, yes. But there's no runtime, at least if you mean in the sense that the code is executed by a runtime.

Why not just do like.. actual engineering, and stay in control of what the LLM builds?

Slowly but surely dynamic programming proponents discover the value of statically verifiable correctness. Who'd have thought?

Martine just straight up sucks. Vendoring your components gives you the best of both worlds. You get a full component library but retain the ability to modify them as you want. Your AI agent claim doesn't make any sense either. When up

But Kubernetes isn't postgres or ruby or containers. It's the orchestration service. Your comparison doesn't make sense.

This example is not only wrong for what you intend to demonstrate but even if it wasn't, it's not problematic. In typescript the proper way to do this is using branded types and exporting only the safe constructor, making anyone w

If the goal is to convince me not to use this: mission accomplished. This looks awful on mobile.
